Civil Ceremony invitations

[Maura]

We didn't want to make a big deal of the CC, but his parents really wanted to fly in. So our officiant is a grad school professor we've remained close to that has a minister's license. I wanted to make keepsake invitations for our parents and here are some photos of how they turned out.

 

They were made using 300gsm white 100% cotton letterpress paper from White Aisle and measure 3.75x9.25 (tea length). I made the logo on my own using the Mac Pages program and got the background flourish here:

The color of the ink is a chocolate brown in CMYK (44/75/85/63). The font is called Chopin Script. I put the paper tucked into cocoa Thai silk pockets (bought from the White Aisle moving sale) and tied a khaki satin ribbon around it. I purchased the ribbon from PaperSource.

These are FOR SURE nicer than our invites. Crap- your civil ceremony is putting me to shame.
