FORTY TIMES AROUND THE SUN

So, I'm turning 40 this year. Instead of lamenting the big 4-0 I decided to throw myself a big party. To be honest, I'm more excited about the invites than the actual event [I'm party shy] but I couldn't figure out a way just to send an invite and not actually invite folks over. [please, click images to enlarge they're so much prettier BIG!]


I went full tilt on these babies, three color letterpress. Square format envelope with a fold over information flap [as to not ruin the graphic and save a little on my plate costs]



It's difficult being the client & designer. Nothing ever seems good enough, but oddly I'm very pleased on how everything turned out. I hope the party is as equally as lovely.

matching postage stamp and wrap around mailing address label.
NITASHA WEDS KULMEET



Because I knew nothing of Indian weddings I had to take notes, and ask a lot of questions about how it all works. Who is invited to which event?, what happens during this part? and what about that part?



I produced the portion of the invites given by the Bride and Groom to their friends, while the parents purchased their own sets of invites while on their buying trip in India earlier this year. Nitasha ended up choosing a fun paisley in vibrant colors.
