A Rock’n’Roll 60th Birthday

We are so excited to share our project with a client who had a super cool idea for her husband’s 60th birthday party. She planned a rock’n’roll themed birthday and concert starring his band, Harmless Error. We created custom concert ticket invitations, “merch,” VIP passes, and signs to immerse the guests in a truly rockin’ concert experience!

The client’s husband is the singer for his band, Harmless Error, and we knew we had to give this front man a truly memorable 60th birthday. Guests were free to grab band merch including hats, and had rock’n’roll themed guitar pick shaped cookies to take home as tasty favors. VIP passes on lanyards for everyone gave each guest a backstage pass to the fun.

Ojai in July Wedding

We had the pleasure of working with Kristen and Dylan, a lovely couple who were referred to us through a happy former client. Though they both lived and met in Durham, they were marrying in Ojai in July. The bride’s family was from Ojai, and their wedding was in the church where both her parents and grandparents had been married. What a sweet tradition! After hearing their stories, we proposed a design that would highlight the beautiful location of their wedding.

An Ojai in July Wedding

For Kristen and Dylan’s design, we created an original postcard inspired RSVP, using vintage images from historic postcards. We also created a simple invitation suite in navy and white with touches of greenery. The navy is traditional and grounds the bright greenery color, while the green accents echo the lush orchards around their venue in Ojai. They kept the invitation simple with a modern sans serif typeface accented by a fun retro calligraphy font. Address labels on their navy envelopes carried through the calligraphy font and the greenery accents. As a nod to Dylan’s passion for geocaching, the couple created custom 3D printed geocaching coins for their guests to take home as favors!

A French Provincial Evening with Weddings Magazine

We had the pleasure of working with Weddings Magazine to create the invitations and stationery for a dinner they held at The Oaks at Salem, with a French Provincial theme. The evening promised an al fresco food experience, with guests enjoying farm-to-table cuisine cooked with French flair in the open air. The balmy June weather and beautiful venue set the stage for an evening of delicious food, enchanting music, and flowing conversation!

French Provincial Evening with Weddings Magazine

For Weddings Magazine, we created a rustic French chic invitation suite, with tones of coral and navy anchored by a bark-textured kraft lotus fold backing card. Pops of red lace and polka dots added layers of texture and color, while a navy toile band wrap was topped with a metallic antique gold seal. Featuring a vintage ‘etched’ illustration style, the French provincial theme of the evening was carried through the invitation suite and menus through the etched illustrations, with fleur-de-lis flourishes and a custom illustration of the venue, The Oaks at Salem.

Southeastern Bride Photo Shoot

We worked with Cheryl-Anne Kast of Kast Events to stage this beautiful photo shoot for The Southeastern Bride, Book Two, “In Bloom”.  It was a great experience working with these other local vendors to realize her vision of an elegant Spring floral wedding!

Southeastern Bride Photo Shoot

For this design, we created a soft wedding suite to vibe with April florals for this Spring wedding. Tones of blush are anchored by a soft gray pocket fold, which neatly contains a detail card with a custom map, a rehearsal dinner card that carries through the floral illustrations from the invitation, and an RSVP card. The matte, textured gray is formal and traditional but still soft, and the blush tones are neutral but add romance and subtle color. A beautiful digital handwriting font and custom monogram seal were other focal points of the design.

Duke Forward Campaign Impact Dinners

The Duke University Forward Campaign has been a huge success, raising over three and a half billion dollars to support meaningful programs at the University.  Make an impact with your fundraising — but let us handle the print details, ranging from invitations to place cards!

Duke Forward Campaign Impact Dinners

If you need 1,000 place cards, table numbers, organizational signs, and more for your corporate event, look no further.  We are thrilled to share a snapshot of our work with Duke University for their Duke Forward campaign.  The place card design included the staggered-line logo for the Duke Forward initiative, while the table numbers focused providing clear directions for so many people to find a seat, with a large simple design and backing of Duke blue.

This dinner was the culmination of a yearlong invitation and marketing project to assist the university’s development team in meeting their goal to move Duke Forward. Over the year, we designed and printed thousands of batches of custom laser-cut invitations and many other details for the special events that were brought to cities all over the United States to promote the campaign.

It’s been a great year, and we congratulate Duke on this amazing accomplishment. We are so happy to have played a small role in this effort.

Formal and Romantic in Niagara Wedding

We had the pleasure of working with Becca and Terry, whose destination wedding at Niagara Falls gave us plenty of inspiration. We enjoyed their color palette of blush and navy, and the opportunity to add some gold ink to their vintage inspired vibe.

Formal and Romantic in Niagara Wedding

For Becca and Terry’s design, we were thrilled to use a cool printing technique called thermography. This process uses heat to apply inks to paper that results in a glossy, slightly raised finish that looks very luxe while being less expensive than traditional letterpress. It can be a great option for couples who are looking for that wow factor while working within a budget!

We created an invitation suite for Becca and Terry in navy and blush, which have been popular colors over the past year. The navy is formal and traditional, and the blush tones are neutral but add softness, romance, and subtle color. A beautiful digital calligraphy font, hand-drawn flourishes, and the metallic gold thermography were other focal points of the design.
