Giveaway From Gourmet Invitations ~ Custom Seating Chart
We’ve had so many great giveaways in the past couple of weeks … and today … we have another!!
We’ve featured Tifany’s fantastic Gourmet Invitations several times on Style Me Pretty {here} {here} {here} and based on your response, we know you love them as much as we do. Well … she has a newly designed website that she’s dying to show off … and so in celebration of that … she wants to create a one-of-a-kind Seating Chart for one lucky couple! Her Seating Charts are true works of art and are definitely the new way to go green!
So here’s the deal … Tifany will work with you to create a unique 24×36 seating chart for a wedding after July 30.

I have to tell you, this is my new all-time favorite {here} Gourmet Invitation suite.
After you see all that you can, come back here and leave Tifany a comment about one of her invitation designs. Any one. That’s it. Tifany will select one fan as the winner of the Seating Chart and we’ll announce it next Friday morning. Good luck to all!!
Oh my gosh!
I LOVE the library inspired invitations.
My fiance and I are planning a small, outdoor, garden/barn wedding but oh, if the chips were aligned differently a library wedding would be just my style.
I LOVE IT.
Hi Tiffany,
Your envelope design for Jackie and Scott's wedding is fabulous. I love how the stamp design is so similar to the design in the corner of the envelope and that they over lap. It is just really classic and elegant and I love it!
I love the invitation that was created for Elizabeth and Michael with the Fuji Mum theme. It is simple yet bold!! I would love to win a chance to work with Tiffany. My wedding is in October this year with 60 ppl. Very intimate with family and friends at the Botanical Gardens, but I also want it to feel grand! Tiffany does amazing work!
Hi Tiffany,
I absolutely love the seating chart that has the map background....my fiancee loves maps, he actually reads an atlas everynight before bed (no joke...there is a pile of atlases next to our bed). I had never thought of using this habit to inspire some of our wedding details, but now you have my mind filling with ideas. Love it....
P.S. I may not be eligible for the giveaway...unless its open to Canadians...I am getting married this September in Montreal. But I wanted to thank you for the inspiration. :)
Hi Tiffany,
I loved Brett & Nick's vintage record album theme. It looks chic and welcoming. I mean, it could be not only about music, but also about the city. We are having a Frank Sinatra themed wedding in August. It will be held on a terrace and we have all of the Frank's songs planned for each special moment. I think having such a cute addition to the whole scene might just make it work!
P.s. I think I am not eligible for the giveaway, as I come from Latvia, but I will definately try to DIY something like this.
I love the Kathrine and Christopher invitations - so elegant!
I really love the invitations for Marla and Marc on the blog! It's very simple and chic. I really love the simple monogram and the clean font. Most of all - I LOVE the response cards! I love that it's open for guests to write whatever they wish. I can totally see using that idea and having some real gems come back that I could treasure for a long time.
These are all really beautiful, but my favorite is definitely the invitations made for Julie and Steven. I absolutely love the bold colors, but simple design. Everything on Tifany's page seems like there so much time and consideration that goes into it, absolutely something that every couple is looking for :)
My daughter is getting married in the Napa Valley in October. Not only is it a destination wedding, they have a travel theme. They will have framed travel photos placed around the venue, a well-worn suitcase with old travel decals to hold the photobooth photos and are giving luggage tags for favors. What could be more perfect than the incredible seating chart with the map? It would certainly be a huge hit, not to mention an incredible keepsake! She would be a lucky bride indeed to have that work of art at her wedding!
I LOVE the library invitations!!! It might have a little something to do with the fact that I'm a high school English teacher... The way it incorporates a theme without being too themed is great. Too bad I already have my invitations, but of course I would love to have any of her work at my wedding.
The invitation suite Tiffany made for Christina and Patrick is my favorite. The envelope alone makes me want to attend their wedding! The attention to detail in all of these designs really makes Tiffany stand out from the rest. I'm so in need of a seating chart and would love to have this gorgeous creation as the first thing our guests see when they come to help us celebrate our day.
I love the seating chart for Andrea and Joseph. The pretty flowers in the background would work well at my wedding in August. We're getting married at Bluemont Vineyard in VA and it's about 900ft above sea level over looking neighboring towns with the grape vines all around. I think the flowers would compliment the beautiful scenery and add elegance to the inside of the reception, which is in a refurbished stable. Your use of swirly fonts and patterns seems so classic and elegant, it's a timeless style to me.
The "Neely and Jeff" seating chart would be PERFECT for our tiffany blue and black wedding!! It is absolutely stunning. I have no doubt that it would find a prominent place in our new home - what a perfect way to remember all of those who were there on the wedding day!
Hi Tiffany,
Your designs are to die for. It was nearly impossible to pick just ONE favorite with all you creativity and uniqueness, and amazing use of paper shapes, colors, and font types! Each one I saw was my new favorite. But because I have to choose just one:
I love Molly and Carl’s suite. The floral design and casual elegance of the fonts are so very feminine and romantic. The border design on the envelopes and bellyband/sash is gorgeous. Even the seating chart is exactly how I’ve pictured mine. I’m getting married in Puerto Rico in February of next year and my colors are ivory, gold, and purple (so naturally I liked Brianna and Jason’s also!!). Seating charts are becoming popular at PR weddings, and I’ve been really excited to create one for my own. I would love to work with you!
I think Nicole and Joshua's invitations are one of the most unique invitations I've ever seen. I used to work in a library and I'm a complete book worm, so I love the library touches. All of your invitations are absolutely breathtaking.
What a beautiful website and portfolio of invitations to choose from! I'm still early in the planning process, and loving that I'm still relishing in the possibilities and not making any firm decisions yet. Our wedding will be in the Fall of 2010 so I have lots of time to make these big decisions! Invitations are one of my favorite things to browse, especially online, and your site is a beauty.
When I came upon Katherine & Christopher's suite I just about fell in love. I love that it's simple, but the details are perfection. I'm thinking of using creams, chocolate brown, and greens in my wedding, so even the colors are great. One of my favorites in the set is the reply card. I love that it's a post card (green & less expensive!). I had never thought of using a seating chart like yours until seeing this giveaway, but it does make so much sense! It's easy, less of a mess...and again saves trees!
Thanks for sharing your designs with us!
Good luck & Congrats to all!
I had never heard of Gourmet Invitations before this post, but now I'll never forget about them! Tiffany's work is so creative and classy! I am sure I'm not alone in my love for Brett and Nick's music themed invitations. Everything about them is so perfect, from the photo to the colors to the choice of materials. I feel like the suite could be the springboard for so many other great designs-- like a 1940's vintage version using antique postcards (of course, I'm madly in love with vintage design so I'm biased)! Thanks for sharing such great work!
My favorite invitations on your website are the ones you designed for Elyn and Jonathon. They make me wish I was doing a French themed wedding. However, my absolute favorite invitations that you have done are not on your website. I saw them on your blog a few weeks ago. I love the preppy argyle invitations you designed for Andrea and Andy. My fiance and I love argyle and are trying to incorporate it throughout our wedding. Andrea and Andy's invitations have become an inspiration to me.
All of your designs are so truly unique, I love them all! I especially love the design done for Molly and Carl, so chic and elegant with the pop of color, I love it!
I LOVE the Julie & Steven invitations. The colors and organic look are perfect for our wedding next spring in Marin, just over the Golden Gate Bridge. We are playing with Orange, grey and yellow and tying in the look and colors of our favorite 'bridge' into the theme. In addition my fiance is a winemaker and is sitting her next to me saying how he loves the look of the "'organic' roots/florals with modern fonts and colors"...pretty much sums the look of our wedding up!
AND the Golden Gate seating chart would be PERFECTION! Thanks so much for the offering, love your work!
All of the work is amazing from the invitations to the Table numbers. There is something elegant, classy and modern about the work. I keep going back to the first set of invitations, as I always do, and on the blog, Brett & Nick Music inspired wedding reception. I am new yorker and i think that set is beautiful in the sepia and brown tones. It has a vintage flare to it while still being romantic and timeless. My other hands down favorite item on the website is the photo where Boco posed.....priceless!!
I love Marcy and Matthews Damask theme. Black & White is so elegant, and this had a touch of funkiness to it. I really liked all the coordination in your work.
I just love the "Jackie and Scott" suite! It perfectly conveys the traditional elegance with a vintage vibe feel that we are trying to convey for our wedding. The blind debossing is subtle, yet stunning...at first look the invitation looks more like your traditional ecru/white invitation (like my mother had at her wedding) but after a closer look you can see the intricacy in the design, just beautiful! I also love how the stamp was designed to fit flawlessly with the design, what a great first impression for guests!
My hubby-to-be and I are doing our best to make our wedding as environmentally concious as possible. Having a seating chart would be a great way to save a lot of paper, not to mention we would surely find a place for it in our home as a reminder of all of the special people in our lives that attended our wedding.
Tiffany we would love to work with you! I absolutely love the chandelier seaiting chart shown up above, it would be perfect for our venue...there are a ton of different neat chandeliers all over the place and this would fit right in!
Tiffany~ After perusing both your website and your blog, I simply cannot choose one favorite! The beautiful graphics, the embossed pockets, the custom stamps and matching envelopes, the coordinating menus, programs, seating charts... I can't help but drool over your wonderful attention to detail. However, what caught my attention most was your profile, where you stated, "...the end result is truly a collaboration." This means so much to me, because as a bride with an artistic background, my mind is brimming with ideas, many of which I don't know how to implement! To top it all off, this giveaway couldn't have come at a more perfect time. I have been really struggling with the idea of having escort cards, for the sake of paper, the time to make them, and how to display them. A seating chart designed by you would be both a practical and beautiful solution! Thank you, and Style Me Pretty, for this opportunity!
we love love loved the brett & nick invitation suite, they have a modern look that we just fell in love with. we decided to design out own invitation suite, but we had never thought of designs as modern and vintagey as brett & nick's. The use of photography was very unique and gave a personal feel to the entire suite. it is a favorite of ours!!
I love love love them!!! My favorite is the one on your blog with the black paper and white lettering with the chandelier!!! Gor-GEOUS~~ I would love to have something like this for my wedding!! We will be getting married May 22, 2010 I had never even pondered the thought of having a seating chart but now that I see how it works...I totally want to do this!!
Wow! i was truly inspired by Tiffany's blog! Your work is absolutely gorgeous and so original. We are getting married next May in a beautiful hotel in Albany that has a European feel to it. I fell in love with the damask-inspired invitations for lizzy and sterling. My colors are apple green and black as well! I would like to go even further with the "green" method of saving paper and would like to use the card-fold table number idea with a single menu listed on the back for each table. Thank you for the give-away chance!
Gourmet Invitations is one of my favorite websites. Every morning (with a cup of coffee in hand) I check out her Blog to see what new design she has posted (and her Twitter comments). Until recently, Marcy and Matthew's damask invitations were my favorite until I saw Lizzie and Sterling's! I love Black and White with a pop of color. I mean LOVE it.
In flipping through her designs, I’ve figured out that Tiffany must really listen to her clients. If a couple is hoping for a funky, off beat and colorful invitation, she'll design it (Kara and Andrew’s invitations come to mind). If someone is looking for a simple, traditionally elegant design, she'll produce one (like Monique and Charlie’s). I’m amazed at her range and creativity. Her designs are truly an inspiration and I’m super jealous of her clients!
Hi Tifany! Thank you so much for offering a seating chart to a lucky winner! I'm sure that whoever you choose will be so delighted and grateful for your wonderful and amazing effort! My fiance and I are getting married on August 1 (just after your deadline) and are truly blessed to have found such a wonderful beautiful place to get married in - it's our town's History Center, the original courthouse, and we will be married and hold our reception in the original courtroom. The ceiling of the courtroom is being painted and I've been told it will be finished 2 weeks before our wedding (keeping my fingers crossed for that). Your design for Brittany and Michael Brunson matches the look of the original courtroom incredibly well! The style is just fantastic and so classic!
I think I speak for all the brides posting in this comment section when I say: your website looks great, your designs are amazing, and thank you for this opportunity!
I love Tifany's work! My favorite wedding suite is Pamela & Craig's. The fonts, placement, and graphics are superb! I am also a sucker for rounded edges. I would love for Tifany to design a seating chart for my October 3rd wedding this year!
These are the most elegant options for a seating chart. I am the Mom of 2 brides , marrying within 11 weeks of each other and I am running out of time and money. This would be a lasting treasure for Katie to keep always. What a fun surprize this would be for her. The black one with the chandeler is perfect. Oh goodness, just noticed it is for a wedding after 7-30(hers is 7-11)...,shucks.... love your site..
I love love love the invitations you did for Jennifer and John seen here: />
Her inspiration (dress) is similar to mine and fits the theme of our wedding: formal, classic and timeless. We're aiming for all black and ivory, and a chart in this fashion would fit perfectly for our wedding next July.

Absolutely beautiful (and following your blog already!)
Thank you!
Tifany is a Genius & an amazing lady.
I had the pleasure to work with her on a recent wedding (Elizabeth & Andy's Linen Inspired Event-5.17.09) based on the fact that our bride saw my blog post featuring Tifany's Seating Charts. She was hooked and then booked and we had the most incredible time developing the pieces.
I love seating charts (so much easier than place cards) and Tifany truly makes them works of art.
Tracey
I was thinking about having a chandelier and damask wedding theme and sure enough, the first post on her blog was just that. I absolutely love everything about it, the seating chart, the table number & the program. I would LOVE to see how this could be transformed into an invitation as well. This site is awesome!!!
Beautiful! I had been thinking about doing a seating chart all along but seeing these just made me 100% convinced! I love love the black and white style of Megan and Christopher and the scrolls from Jennifer and Jeffery's charts. I have to say though, my favorite blog post is Boco the cat sneaking into the shot of the amazing lily invites. Adorable!
I love the damask embossed pocket folds. Such a great take on something that frankly, I was getting a little bored with. I already sent a bride to check them out!
I don't think I've ever seen anything as creative as the work Tifany does! I wish I had even an ounce of that creativity and style. I was really impressed. I can't decide on which I like the best because every single design is unique & beautiful. I'm getting married 09.04.09. We got engaged at the Golden Gate Bridge, so I really like Chrissy & Rob's seating chart. I liked the modern lower-case suite that was done for Melissa's wedding too. They're all beautiful!
Hi, Tiffany,
Your work is amazing! OUr wedding colors are black and white, so Christina & Patrick's and Jackie & Scott's designs are my favorite. They are SO chic.
My fiance and I had decided to do a seating chart even before I found this posting. I think they're so much more impressive (and easier!) than placecards. I would love to see what you'd come up with for our 09.09.09 wedding!
Karen
I have been in love with all of Tiffany's work from the first day I was married. I never thought I could afford it, but I am so in love with it and can not find anything else I like. I love all the designs but the one that continues to be my favorite is the " Marcy and Matthew" suite. It is so contemporary but chic with black and white. I am trying to go modern chic wedding that is simple but still elegant. I am in need of a seating chart and this would be a great addition and be very helpful for my budget. Your work is extremely impressive and unlike any I have ever seen.
Tiffany,
What a lovely website. I had a friend create the artwork for our wedding and hand assembled the invitations this spring. I had been hoping to do the same for the table numbers, programs, and seating chart, but am realizing that it may be a little over my head. And then, there you are. I LOVE the details in all of your work. I'm especially enthralled with the nature inspired ensemble that you created for Rachel and Daniel's wedding. I would love to have the opportunity to work with you on creating a similar ensemble of a seating chart, table numbers, and programs for our late September wedding in the San Juan Islands.
Sara
These charts are absolutely beautiful! I'm going to list this offer on My Island Wedding for my readers as well... under our new "Calendar of Sales and Special Offers!"
Congrats to whoever wins!
The "Mellow" design is gorgeous. Red and light blue is one of my favorite color combinations! What a unique niche in the wedding market and a creative idea. Thanks for sharing!
Tifany,
Kudos on the new website! Your invitation suites are spectacular. Dan and I are especially drawn to the “Jessica and Kevin” and “Molly and Carl” designs. We love that you take into consideration such personal, meaningful elements, such as Jessica’s grandmother’s brooch, and translate them into fresh, beautiful concepts on paper – it’s seamless!! Dan and I are both committed to eco-conscious choices, adore letterpress and will hold our May 2010 ceremony and reception at a public community garden. Our colors are amethyst and chartreuse. We are drawn to vintage botanical illustration – which is why the “Molly and Carl” design appeals to us; so classic yet modern! And way to go coming up with a “green” solution of a single seating chart-turned-keepsake in lieu of individual place cards – brilliant!
We look forward to the possibility of working with you.
Beautiful work!!!!! I am in luuuurve the Jennifer and Robin invitation suite!! Absolutely chic, sophisticated and the perfect touch of feminine!!!
It is so hard to find non-cliche programs for weddings. These are so tastefully done and the paper looks to be of high quality. I'm having a beach wedding in Cabo San Lucas and honestly, the ceremony should have as high of billing as the food. There are so many weddings that have food menus, but not programs for the ceremony. Thanks for including that in your "portfolio" of services.
Tifany,
After having spent the last two years on the Obama campaign planning enormous rallies and public events, I'm looking forward to turning all that expertise and creative energy toward my own wedding - to capture something special about the life Steve and I are starting together.
You and I have already spoken about your absolutely inspired library invitations and I am planning to use them for my June 2010 wedding. What you don't know is that I grew up in a housing project, and my love of books stems from the fact that books were my window to a bigger, better world. I always said I could never marry a man who didn't love books as much as I do. Enter Steve. I knew I would marry him the night he put on a camping head lamp as I was falling asleep to continue reading his book without disturbing me.
Steve and I are asking our guests to bring the book that most impacted their lives to our wedding to help us grow our personal library. In turn, we are giving as favors, the books that have most impacted us. I would LOVE to create a seating chart that develops this theme even further.
Thank you for the opportunity to enter the giveaway!
Katrina
I absolutely adore the invitation you created for Brianna and Jason!
You said the fold-out map was your favorite element and I have to agree 100%. It's gorgeous, classy, unique and a winner. I'm devestated that I have already ordered my invitations. I would have certainly loved to have an invite even half this pretty.
Congratulations! Your designs are fabulous and I now have buyer's remorse.
Elizabeth and Michael's invitation featuring the mum is brilliant! We have been thinking about an invitation like that featuring a palm tree or another plant or symbol that reads "california classic" so this invitation is truly inspiring.
We actually eloped two months ago to Palm Springs. The wedding reception and vow renewal is next July 31. The best part about our union: My husband took MY name!! How cool is that? So, using our new last name on the seating chart would be very special for us.
Thank you in advance for your consideration.
best, April
I am in complete awe of Molly & Carl's booklet style invitation. I loved how they incorporated song lyrics into their invitation and how the lyrics were separated with Vellum paper. The invitation was not only beautiful, but was also a fabulous representation of the couple...my love for you is real, those personal touches are unforgettable. I have loved choosing every little detail my upcoming wedding and would be honored to show your work off!
Thanks so much for your inspiration!
I love how elegant the design is for Sosi and Aram wedding invites. Simply beautiful.
Hi! Thank you so much for the opportunity to win one of your beautiful seating charts. I have to say though, out of all your designs I just love the romantic feel of all of Kate and Michael's details. Thanks for all the inspiring designs!
Thank you SMP, and thank you Tiffany! I had so much fun pouring all over your website!! Your portfolio is just amazing! I'm so impressed with much you personalize each and every item. The care and detail you put in really shows and it's just beautiful to look through it all.
My favorite has got to be the invitations you designed for Elyn and Jonathon. We are planning a Spring 2010 wedding in Lyon, France - so something similar to the French postmark theme you did would be *SO* perfect! What great inspiration this is to have - thank you!
I love the "Tori and Chad" invite design, (and the website design itself!) because they both are our wedding colors (navy and green) and both are so much fun--just like we envision our wedding being! :) If I had an unlimited budget, I would order up some Gourmet Invites immediately--they are all so personal and beautiful!
great site and HUGE variety/range of invitations. loved the simplicity of katherine and christopher. i also liked the colors, my fiance has strong opinions about many bridal colors being too "feminine," so that really stood out to me.
I saw the Stacey and Bryan invitations and just fell in love with the color scheme. My fiance and I both love the fall, and it was our intention to get married in late September/Early October. However, our venue (a winery in the Hudson Valley), was booked 2 years in advance for the fall. We decided we would push it back to late August, as we wanted to get married this summer. I managed to get in one of our fall colors, espresso brown, with the JCrew bridesmaids dresses. However, I didn't think we could pull of the other deep oranges and reds we wanted. So, I am settling for deep raspberry instead!
Anyways, the whole color scheme just reminded me of our favorite season in the Hudson Valley. It brought back the feeling of apple picking, hot apple cider, and our annual Octoberfest we host for our friends and family at our house each October. They invitations are inspiring, memorable, and just perfect!
I really love all the details to Kathrine and Christopher. The envelopes are awesome. I love the font!
I love Tori and Chad's invitation suite. The colors are so vibrant they exude a fun feel, which is exactly what my fiance and I are going for. We want to throw a great party and are putting our focus on creating a fun, lively atmosphere that everyone can enjoy. the circles in the bright colors add a touch of whimsy and the ribbon detail is just gorgeous.
I LOVE the Marcy and Matthew invitations. I have always loved the damask pattern. I think it says classic and fun, as well as classy.
Hi Tifany, thank you for this wonderful gift! Your designs are pieces of art and I would so appreciate having the opportunity to have one of your amazing pieces showcased at my wedding next March 20th, 2010. I am in love with your invitation set for Molly and Carl. My colors are pink and I am doing a romantic 18th century feel. You see I waited 30 years to find my soulmate we got engaged Christmas eve this past year unfortunely we live in Michigan and my fiance lost his job just shortly after we got engaged. I am trying my hardest to make our wedding day what we both have dreamed of but because of our situtation we have to make some cutbacks. However, having one of your seating charts greet my guests as they walk in would make my day all that more special! thank you!!
Hi - the seating charts are incredible, I've been wanting to do one for our wedding in December and I'm so excited to have found your site! All the invitations and design schemes are great but my favorite is Katharine & Christopher. The whole suite is incredibly simple yet luxe at the same time which is exactly what we are going for in our wedding. The colors are perfect for us too - the brown accent color is the exact color of the ribbon on my dress and our flowers are simple white and green with brown as the accent color. Probably my favorite element is the different fonts and how prominent they are in the design - I especially like the thank you cards.
Wow...I was told about your invitations and seating charts etc. by my wedding planner and when I came and looked I didn't expect to be blown away by how beautiful they all are!! You are amazing at what you do.
I have to say that I am torn between Brett and Nick and Nicole and Joshua. I love the vintage effect of Brett and Nick's invitations and how detailed you were with the ticket as the RSVP and everything it was really beautiful and something I can see people holding onto as a favor and memento not just of a wedding but an 'occasion'. And Nicole and Joshua, well I'm an avid reader and tend to devour libraries or bookstores when given a chance so seeing that old school library card was really like seeing and old friend. It was probably the cutest one for me and one that I could see myself having at my wedding (if my fiance was a bit more of a reader!).
Thank you for sharing your site with me, I really enjoyed it. And thank you for the chance to win one of your wonderful seating charts (which are beautiful as well). You are truly and artist. Thank you for sharing your talent.
The Moretto Design is beautiful. I would be honored to have such a lovely keepsake. I am getting married at what looks like a castle. This design has a romatic and royal feel.
Thank you,
Shannon
My favorite invitation design is the Christina & Patrick- dramatic but also so wonderfully cohesive because you use the motif in every single piece, but not in the exact same way so that it is too matchy, and I love the texture with the envelope (and the functionality of the flap). If I were to ever throw a formal party in the future, I would pick those! I've admired your work for a while and I love the new website design: easier to browse, though the music on the home page made me jump! Your creativity and eye to every little detail is a great gift. I made my invitations myself, but I have been telling my two sisters (one who is engaged) that it would be better to pay someone to craft a look- like you. Keep it up!
Wow, I love how custom these invitations are! Even down to the stamps! Love! I've also really enjoyed looking at the table cards. I
I really like the library design for Nicole and Joshua. So cute! Makes me secretly wish I considered getting married in a library. But as far as invites that will actually go with my wedding, I love the design done for Brianna and Jason. It's so striking, I love the pocketfold and I am now lusting after that fold-out map! But I think the design that will most fit the wedding my fiance and I are planning is the design for Jody and Bradley. We're getting married outdoors in a garden, a dream come true of mine, and roses are an all-time favorite. I gave up on finding an invitation that used them though, because everything I saw with roses seemed either too old-fashioned or too cliche. This is truly beautiful and elegant while managing to be modern at the same time and the seating chart that was designed as part of the suite looks like it was designed for our wedding!
These are so unique, personal. I love the Elizabeth and Matthew set.
Monica and Freddy!!! Their whole suite was perfect! I have been searching for something that stands out, makes your piece of mail different from all the other letters people get in the mailbox. I love the monogram with their names, not initials and that this is carried through the whole wedding. From the colors, design and execution, the invites, programs to the signature drink they are part of of a sequence and a theme for their wedding. I will be making my own invites, programs, signs etc..and this is exactly what I am hoping to get across, a story that starts from the invite in the mailbox! Thank you for sharing your new website with us!
I guess I'm biased, but my favorite invite would be the one that my fianceée Lizzy and Tifany designed together. Lizzy is so pleased and excited with the results, and I would love to surprise her with a matching seating chart. Even if we don't win, thank you so much Tifany, for making my fiancée so happy and for helping us make our wedding day even more beautiful.

Tifany thanks for the inspiration. My wedding is a little over two months away and I’ve always wanted to have programs and menus at our wedding but we had to cut cost and this was one detail of the wedding we unfortunately decided to cut. However, when I checked out your menus I noticed one that combined both the program and menu and did it with such style and elegance. This is such a perfect idea for our wedding and cost effective. We can provide guest with the important details and present it in a way that keeps with our wedding style. Thanks again for the idea and inspiration.
One word: yummy! I love all the invitations, but I have to admit, it makes me more stressed thinking about all the things that go into designing and ordering the perfect invitations! Who we are as a couple, the overall feel of our wedding and the feeling each person who receives it will have when they open the original masterpiece. It's like artwork! Our wedding and reception is in October 2010 at a museum and I think or hope we can capture the "art of love" somehow in our invitations and coordinating pieces.
I really liked the Kara + Andrew set with the bubble themed pieces. You perfectly paired whimsy and tradition together with ease.
Thanks for the contest! This was fun, as I've only just began this process!
I love the invitations you did for Courtney with the swirls. They are so romantic yet very modern at the same time. I am going for a very similar look for my wedding. Trying to incorporate that timeless elegance. I love everything on your sight tho to me honest!!
Stunning. Breath taking. Vibrant. Romantic. All captured on paper. I loved all of them, but I couldn't pick a favorite. I could tell you my favorite feature about all of them. I spent hours looking over the delicate designs trying to decide to no avail.
I adore the Marcy and Matthew invitations. Maybe I'm biased because my best friend, my mom, is named Marcy and I would love to pay tribute to her with these invitations. The damask pattern is classy just like my mom is. I know that this would not only make my day but make my mom feel special knowing we picking an invitation named after her. That would be amazing!
My fiance has decided that he is going to make our invitations since we are on a tight budget. As much as I love this man, I think he's getting in over his head. Ha!
Please no one tell him I said that.
Anyways, we've been looking for inspiration on the internet, scouring thousands of invitation sites to see what we can make that still has an impact. Something classic and simple.
I have now found some inspiration and love, no I mean ADORE Kathrine and Christopher collection.
The focal point is the font and there are no graphics to detract from the names. After all, it is about us. We're not into swirls, roses or leaves though it's a fall wedding but we are into the heavy paper, the sleek font, and the modern feel to the whole deal. Le sigh. . . fantastic collection.
Looove this seating chart idea. The green Johnson one is by far my favorite. Clean and simple. LOVE it!
Beautiful things!!! I love the fonts you use. I love the font that you used for Elizabeth and Stephens invitation. I love the menu you have designed with the thread tied around it. It reminds me of my invitation (we tied grass around our invitation). Having your seating chart displayed would be so lovely. Thanks SMP and Tiffany!
I am so dissappointed that I came across this website...because I already ordered my invitations and thought I loved them till I saw how truly intimate, artsy and yet still sophisticated these invitations are. My three favorites are the Chicago skyline...of course had it been mine, we certainly would be doing a beantown (Boston) skyline, cause I am a Boston girl! Love the colors and how the skyline was incorporated with a monogram and bold colors, yet still did not come off as tacky. I love the Hindu invite, the colors and classy scroll work...but my all time favorite and definetely THE most unique invite I have seen in a year and half of searching was the record invite, absolutely gorgeous, had I been the guest whose honor was requested, I would be shocked at how awesome and unique that invite was, it would be one for the records! These invites were definetely different from the rose, beach, etc. themed invites which have become like wholesale on the web and in stores! Fantastic work , thanks for sharing! I will be ordering some extras from this site for sure, (seating chart, menu, etc.) Thanks again. Tara
