modern wedding invitations

I wrote about how more and more creative wedding paperie has gotten late last year.  And yep, the fresh takes just keep on coming!  Though I'm still a fan of the simple classics, I do get thrills every time I see unique, cute , and "wow my mom would've never allowed that" designs.

The color combinations are contemporary, the typography choices and layouts are streamlined and are absolute GENIUS.  I wish we could see more of these clean, smart invites and less of those with floating pixelized photos fading pretentiously with some white glow (I'm sorry, I just had to say it).

All works are from Minted.

logos and invitations 03

Not just for weddings, a logo can also be made for a special event or occasion.  Take for example this cute little birthday party for a girl turning two.  Done by Lemiga Events, the concept was Sesame Street and the birthday girl's monogram added a touch of daintiness (because she is anyway a little girl). 

The monogram was used in various elements like coasters, souvenirs, decor, aside from the invitations.  Sometimes these inspirational things make you think of already having kids (wait, did I really think that?).
