DIY Black, White and Gold Wedding Invitation

These DIY wedding invitations have a sophisticated look but

can be done at home with the right paper and font.

It was created for the wedding of the couple for whom I made this wine themed bridal shower invite.

The invitation features the bride and groom’s name boldly in my Dom Loves Mary Stylistic Font.

The flourishes are from my Belluccia Flourishes font.

I used Adobe Caslon Pro for the text.

The shimmery, white card stock ( Curious Metallics Ice Silver)

is backed with a black card stock called Boutique So….Silk.

Both are from FasClampitt Paper.

One thing to note, the white paper is a thick card stock.

If your printing at home, make sure your printer can handle it.

Otherwise you may want to make color copies at FedEx Kinkos.

I know their machines are able to handle thick paper.

You would need to print 2 on an 8.5″ x 11″ then cut to size.

The invitations are packaged in these gorgeous stardust gold pouches

from Marsupial Papers. The invitations are secured

to the pouch with double stick tape and the rehearsal dinner invitation

and RSVP card are inserted in the pouch.

This was printed on the other side of the RSVP post card.

The vineyard ornament added the perfect touch to this wine country wedding.

It’s available from Laura Worthington’s Azalea Smooth Ornamental Fonts.

They’re free!

On the other side of the RSVP card, I used

embellishments from my Belluccia Calligraphy Font.

( The pointing finger and border around the return address.)

Having an RSVP postcard saves money since you don’t need an envelope.

And the return postage stamps are .34 instead of .46.

The pouch was sealed with a monogram backed with black.

The best way to do this is to attach the monogram to the pouch just on the sides so you can tuck the end of the flap into the monogram card.

This allows for easy opening and closing by the guests without tearing up the invitation.

I addressed the envelopes by hand using the lettering style of my Dom Loves Mary Calligraphy

font then used a beautiful wedding cake stamp.

You can have beautiful invitation and envelopes like this by purchasing my Dom Loves Mary font !

Here’s a video I created to show you how to address envelopes with the font in Microsoft Word.

Checkout all of my font in my Etsy Shop.

Have a fabulous fall day!

Cantoni Font Rustic Ornaments

The Cantoni Font Ornaments are small illustrations that can easily placed into documents like clip art!

They’re so much fun to create!

I love seeing how they’re used in clever ways on invitations, signs, menus, programs, and more.

The Cantoni Font Ornaments are generally geared for the rustic, vintage look and feel.

I was inspired by the many outdoor weddings that I’ve seen and love!

But I included other images like the baby carriage and bottle, a ring and cake, as well as flowers and hearts

that would work well for baby or bridal shower invitations.

Oneof my favorites is the boots, with the Mr. and Mrs. on the foot.

(There’s a plain pair too.)

I think these would be darling blown up and used on the chair backs of the bride and groom.

I’ve also created three rustic wood logs with a heart in the center.

You can easily put a couples names or initials inside the heart.

Other options to put inside: “Save the Date”, Menu and Table numbers just to name a few.

Or use my special ornament “you + me” .

I created the “blank wood sign” ornament to allow you to make directional signs, or use as a heading for a program.

Again, there’s too many uses to name. What would you use it for?

I have to dedicate this last “Love notes” ornament to Erica & Chris Cantoni .

Their wedding last summer at Rising Wolf Ranch in Glacier National Park, Montana was the most touching I’ve even been to.

There wasn’t a dry eye in the place.

All of us were thrilled to see these two lovely people get hitched!

And best of all, all 7 of the Cantoni siblings attended!

( L to R: Dennis, Ann, me, Jim, Georgina, Diane and Maryann)

Just like the DIY Wedding Words from my previous post,

you can easily work with the Cantoni Ornaments in Microsoft Word.

No need to have a special program.

All you have to do is choose Cantoni Ornaments font from your font list.

Create a text box.

Then click on the keyboard letter, number or symbol that correlates to the word or image you want.

You can easily highlight and change to the desired color.

Then print on plain card stock on your own printer.

Below is the Keyboard Map to show you where everything is located.

I’ll be posting a how-to-video on my Youtube channel next week to show you how easy it is to work with.

And you’ll be the first to know when my Cantoni font family goes live on myfonts.com !

Check out my first two fonts, Dom Loves Mary and Belluccia, available for purchase here.

Have a Major Monday 🙂

Wedding Invitations with Belluccia by the Aerialist Press

Check out these beautiful wedding invitations with my Belluccia calligraphy font

available at the Aerialist Press!

The talented husband and wife team of Alexandra and Craig have used their design skills to create this “Vineyard” letterpress invitation with just the right balance of a clean modern arrangement and charm.

The coral ( the hot new color this year) and gray is a soft ethereal combination.

While the flowing branches of leaves and simple bird silhouettes add a sweet touch.

This “Pemberley” invitation suite goes for a bolder pop of a deep red-orange.

Letterpressing further enhances the beautiful floral and bird embellishments.

I LOVE both the color and the angle of the address on the kraft envelope !

As always, the Aerialist Press does my Belluccia font proud.

They even used it in their logo!

Check out a previous “Quill” wedding invitation they designed with Belluccia!

Both my Belluccia calligraphy font and her “sister” Dom Loves Mary calligraphy font share the distinction of being a “Rising Star” as well as a “Best Selling Font”.

You can purchase them here.

Have a Thoroughly Modern Millie Thursday:)
