chic boxed starfish invitation
ok chic beach brides, this one’s for you!
this invite is a super chic take on a beach wedding. it was inspired by the original boxed starfish invite and given a gorgeous black, white and cool sea blue look brought to life through TONS of layers and textures.
{ the details }
the invite panel alone is made up of four layers of card stock each with its own unique texture including linen, orange peel, grid pattern, and a smooth black + white palm pattern paper sandwiched between. from there the invitation was printed in black with simple typography…the four layers are then wrapped with a textured band, topped with a real sugar starfish and finished with a skinny black satin ribbon and placed in a luxe white invitation box. the lid is lined with the graphic palm patterned paper and the inserts (rsvp postcard / transportation cards) are wrapped with a textured band and secured to the lid… and that’s not all! the box is then secured shut with a patterned paper band and a two layer address label using two of the textured stocks.
so chic. so fun. so detailed. i just love it!
here’s a peek at some of the initial pics during production!

sun, surf and sand passport invites!
i have been so excited to finish and post these invites since i met with the couple back in may! they are such fun people and it definitely shows in their super fun boarding pass save the dates that i posted earlier and in these passport invitations.
they got engaged in the bahamas (which is also where their wedding will be) so we were able to use the actual passport stamp from their trip when he popped the question! how cute is that!? i love when you can incorporate little details like that!
fun, beachy colors of sun, surf and sand make for the perfect palette and ties in with the vintage-y photo of themselves relaxing on the beach in a hammock…this is sure to let guests know they are in for a fun and relaxing time at their seaside wedding. and a tear-off back cover makes for a super easy, built-in rsvp card! the passport was finished with a matching blue satin ribbon, and metallic blue envelope lined with the sunny yellow metallic paper and a coordinating wrap label. cool, easy breezy beach style.
i can’t wait to do their custom accessories for the big day!
