Lately, I've received some requests for custom invitations that have completely and utterly confirmed that opening this shop is the best decision I've made in a long time. It's just so exciting to get to work with so many people that have such great, clever, and quirky ideas. This job is a blasty blast. I seriously love it.
One of my favorite requests has been from a bride that I had worked with previously with her wedding invites. She is awesome, to say the least. For her wedding invites, she ordered the floral mason jar invite, which you can find here.
When she contacted me asking if I would be able to create an invitation for her rehearsal dinner in a similar style, I was not only flattered, but super excited. She then went on to say that the party will be at a fossil site and asked if there was any way to incorporate a dinosaur into the design. When I saw this, I got the HUGEST smile and ideas started buzzing around in my head. There may have even been a small dance in my chair. Seriously, how awesome is this? If that's not cool enough, she mentioned there would also be bluegrass and BBQ. At this point, I asked her if I could come because who wouldn't want to go to this party?
After much deliberation of how to incorporate a dinosaur into the rustic vibe of the original invite, with the feel of bluegrass and BBQ, it finally came to me. The dinosaur had to be playing a banjo. There was nothing else that made sense for this.
We could not be happier with the final result. In fact, the bride informed me that this dinosaur has been deemed their wedding mascot.
Have I built up the suspense enough for you yet?
No?
Yes?
Okay, here it is!
