Invitation mock ups - want to have a look?

They are seriously cool! i LOVE them! what does he do? surely he works as some kind of graphic artist?

well done ali's bro!

EWSS!!

They are fabulous. Wonderful venue choice too.

They look fabulous!

He's an out of work graphic designer. Much as I'd love him to be able to find a new job, it's quite useful that he has time to do them for me! I'm so proud of him! Glad you like them!

Wow, they're fabulous! Clever brother!

Oooh I like! Very cool... will he be doing your table plan/menus etc too?

that is a real shame, and a real waste of talent!

Ooo very nice. I love the idea of the last page being the rsvp. Great idea.

Yes he will - although I'm not sure he knows that yet! LOL!

I agree! Although I heard today, that he's managed to find two days freelance work, so that will tide him over. He's on job seekers allowance at the moment, and fortunately is living with Mum and Dad, so that's saving him some money. I'm sure he'll find something soon. Hope so anyway!

Hi Jelly,

at the moment, they say:

Name of guest(s)_______________________________________________________

two tick boxes for will be attending/will not be attending

Any Special dietary requirements? Please state below:

We have several people in my family with various dietary problems, hence why we've included some lines rather than just veggie or not!

Hope that helps!

They're great Ali! What a talented brother you have!!!!

Woweee! They are fantastic! Great design.

So glad you all like them! Told my brother that the hitched girls liked them, and after having to explain what hitched is, he was pleased as punch!

I doubt your bro will be out of work for long with designs like that! Does he fancy becoming a HIB???

Hi again. My h2b is a graphic designer too and really likes them too. He would like to know are you printing them yourself or getting them done proffesionally?

I think a job in the wedding invites business in called for! I'd hire him! x

They look fab Ali - perhaps he should be a HIB?

PS thanks for your texts today LOL! xx

Hi all!

Thanks for your kind comments. I'm not sure that Paul would like to do wedding invitations as a business, although we'll have to see how the job hunting goes!

Zippy, Iain's brother-in-law has a media marketing business, and has contacts with printers, so we'll get them printed with him. (Paul only has one big printer, so I think he'd blow it up printing 60 or so invitations!)

SG - no probs about the texts!

Ali, they look great!! I love the vibrant colours.

Hope your talented brother finds a job soon!

Oh Wow !!

YAYYYYY !!

They look amazing !!..I hope you are telling your brother that he has a loyal fanbase here !

I love the coloyrs, really really really love the leaf, Is that indicative of the time of year of the wedding ? or is there a Canadian them happening here (Is it a Maple leaf)...and the idea to simply tear and respond at the back is very clever !!

WONDERFUL...I can see why you are so delighted !!

Hi Hodgeysplodgy!

We're getting married in early November, so the wedding has a vague autumn theme. Hence the leaf! He went out and got a binliner of leaves from the park and scanned them so they're really lovely quality.

Thanks for the job hunting wishes, Claire!

I hope he finds some long term work very soon. He deserves it.

hugs

I love your invites by the way, we ended up with something similar, but A4 landscape folded into 3, the last page was all our wedding info.

sorry to hear that your brother is out of work, the graphic industry can be very harsh, and we're really feeling the big companies cutting right back on their marketing budget. Hope he'll find something soon.

Does he know a good pritner for the invites? I'm just thinking that it might be quite a pricey print run that one.

Hi Michele. Hopefully Iain's brother in law can get someone to print them at cost. He's got his own marketing firm and has lots of contacts with printers! I know what you mean though - they might be a bit costly!
