hope this helps - it's a difficult one. I did my best mates 3 years ago and I have to say they ended up looking naff - but she loved them!

letterpress, letterpress, letterpress, letterpress

Classic type design is always a good idear very good if not the best paper quality you can get and then consentrate on a good layout.

i agree with letterpress, don't do any cheese.
check out this guy's work, check out 'keara meghan'.. it's a baby announcement, but the design/execution is something to be admired..

layout is out the door, don't do any grid shit, please take special care of type, paper and printing choice, if these are all executed with elegance they will blow everybody away..
the occasion you're designing for is one of a lifetime, it should be timeless, intimate, beautiful, all the things that connote 'marriage'
good luck, sounds fun!

layout is out the door,
Ya right. get all the rest right and then fuck -up on the layout. WHAT.!?
- sauerbraten0
yeah, you heard me.
- waynepixel0
Ok then.
- sauerbraten0
i'm just sayin' don't approach it like a club flyer, or a poster, or shit like that, the layout is understated and not the thing that should be the concentrate, but my view on wedding invitations might be entirely old school..
- sauerbraten0
i think he should use pixel type, that's all..
no pun intended..
- waynepixel0
Good point, all of the option you pointed out are at the top of the list.
But it would be disappointing to completely forget the layout at the end.
- waynepixel0
pixel type hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha... ya right.
Good luck with them pixel fonts. hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha...
- sauerbraten0

I found this book yesterday while searching for some ideas to do some promotion work for my church. http://tinyurl.com/2rv29 it's pretty cool, I've got a few ideas maybe you can get some too if you go and take a quick squiz (or buy it). it's $90 here though! can't afford any good design books. bah.
