Well, sad to say, some of you may NOT. However, our clients and their guests ALWAYS remember the invite. I speak the truth. I know because they tell us on a daily basis. I LOVE making the world a tiny bit better with my artwork and unique invitations. Most of my clients and their guests keep our custom invitations FOREVER. Now that is a unique invitation.
HOW to buy a unique invitation...
First, what THEME is your wedding or party? Don't have a theme. Shame on you. Get one. You can use the popular beach, Hawaiian, winery/vineyard, fall/autumn, polka dot, sparkle, nautical, or holiday theme.
What color scheme is your wedding or party? Don't have one? Oh my. We need to talk.
Creating an invitation that is unique and represents YOU and your groom or YOU and your party, starts with a great theme and or color scheme.
Let's use a *beach theme* wedding for example... a beach theme wedding does NOT have to be Hawaiian shirts and shorts... it CAN be chic. See the classy and beachy starfish invitation design I have designed. (toot, toot :: this design was originally featured in Modern Bride) Your guest know, as soon as they open this box... WAAHLAH!... A beach theme event!
NOW for color. Three or less is BEST. The starfish invite shown is golden taupe, buttercream and gold. Many of my clients add a splash of super fun color for the tissue. Instead of gold they use fuchsia/hot pink or ocean blue!

Don't be afraid of color. Vibrant color is HOT and modern!
Super popular is SPARKLE. We hand-sparkle invites on a daily basis at My Personal Artist.
Scent... ah yes... I said SCENT. We have exclusive fragrance for our custom stationery that we use. FANTASTIC. This starfish invite has visited over 10,000 guests scented from coconut to ocean breeze! Recently my most favorite Hollywood actor's son featured this embellishment on his save the date wedding invitations. (sorry i don't drop names) We have only had GREAT reviews about this popular add-on!
Add a hand-tied bows! I have been creating custom invitations for over 10 years. The hand-tied bow is STILL on or the most popular embellishments added on our unique invitations.
Have fun. Your guests will LOVE unique wedding invitations + party invitations. Give them something to talk about before the wedding / party! Let me tell you I am STILL hearing about the bottle invitations adorned with a seashell necklace and my coconut palm trees I sent out 7 years ago for our Hawaiian Luau! That my friends ... is a whole nother article!
Enjoy each other... life is great it's time to celebrate!!
Remember to be safe.
Have a sparkling day!!!
