This project is a Bar Mitzvah invitation suite I worked on for Jake, the eldest of two sons, and brother of Hannah, whose Bat Mitzvah invitations I had previously designed (see Hannah’s invitation suite here). Jake is a baseball player and a great young man. I worked with Catherine Bachelier, who planned Jake’s Bar Mitzvah party, as well as with Jake and his parents, in order to come up with an invitation suite that spoke to Jake’s love of all things baseball. The Bar Mitzvah party itself was to include sports nostalgia and vintage touches, and I kept that in mind while putting the visual elements of the suite together. We all agreed it would be fun to make the invitation card look like an authentic baseball ticket, complete with an actual perforated line separating the invitation from the main RSVP, so that the recipient could easily tear off the RSVP and send back to Jake’s family in the enclosed envelope. The final product was truly a collaborative effort, and most importantly, hit a home run with Jake!

There are three individual cards included in this suite: combined invitation card and child’s RSVP, adults’ RSVP card and envelope, as well as folded thank you card and envelope. There is also a digital save the date, which I designed and coded, and for which I provided instructions to the client (for emailing out in advance). All designs are pictured in the slideshow above (with the exception of the save the date).

This is a custom wedding invitation suite I designed and made a couple of years ago for clients Amanda and Seth, a fun-loving local couple whose special day was being planned by the talented Catherine Bachelier. From my initial conversation with Amanda, it was clear she wanted an invitation suite that was personal and handmade, but also appropriate for a more formal wedding event. One of the great things about Amanda being local was the fact that we were able to meet early on in the process of deciding on the look of her invitation suite, which helped me tremendously during the design and revision phases of the project. Early on, it was decided that gold floral and flourish-like accents would add just the right touch of sophistication. The gold on ivory paper, combined with pops of orange throughout, turned out to be the perfect way to say elegant fun. Seeing all the elements come together for the first time seemed to literally bring joy to Amanda’s heart.

The final result reflects a clean, romantic design aesthetic, with distinctive handmade touches and bold color accents. The work I did by hand here includes: invitation card mounted onto a backing card (to show slight border), stamping and embossing with metallic gold powder (floral imagery), envelope liners and belly bands cut and assembled from fine handmade paper, as well as satin ribbon tied in a square knot (around the invitation and menu each).

There are three individual cards and a menu included in this suite: invitation card and envelope, RSVP card and envelope and information (“Directions”) card. The menu was included at each table setting on the day of the event. All designs are pictured in the slideshow above.

  • Custom Bat Mitzvah Save the Date (digital only)

A Bat Mitzvah invitation suite with a special theme request came to me in the project pictured above, done for Hannah, the daughter of a warm, close-knit family. I later created invitations for Hannah’s brother, Jake (see the Bar Mitzvah invitation suite I designed for him here). For Hannah’s invitations, I worked with event planner Catherine Bachelier, and mother-daughter duo, Ronit and Hannah. Hannah is a very imaginative young lady. Our mission was to come up with an invitation design that showcased Hannah’s love for the magic of Harry Potter, along with her other favorites: the ocean and a rich shade of purple. I did some research and sketching, until I came up with a visual motif that fit Hannah perfectly, which is the Harry Potter-inspired “H” (for Hannah) cut out of the middle of a purple seashell silhouette I drew. The motif appears on all pieces of the invitation suite, as well as on a custom rubber stamp (not pictured here), which was made special for Hannah to have and stamp on her stationery at her leisure. I’m grateful for the creativity and fun that flowed (like magic) throughout the duration of this project.

There are three cards included in this suite: invitation card and envelope, RSVP card and envelope, as well as folded thank you card and envelope. There is also a digital save the date, which I designed and coded, and for which I provided instructions to the client (for emailing out in advance). All designs are pictured in the slideshow above.
