Happy Anniversary Kendra & Matt!

If you've been looking for a custom designed beach wedding invitation - look no more! This beautiful invitation exudes everything beach in all the right ways. The invitation is printed on a piece of smooth ivory cardstock and has a strip of sand (yes, real sand right from the beach:) cascading down the side. The invite is bordered with a stunning piece of  aqua shimmer cardstock that simply shines. The entire invitation is attached in a custom designed pocket made of a rich and thick brown handmade paper. The invitation is attached with two hemp knots, signifying their uniting. The reply card was printed on ivory, bordered with the aqua shimmer cardstock and attached with a hemp knot. With a mix of local and traveling guests, the couple had both direction and accommodation cards detailing all the necessary information. The accommodation card that was printed on ivory cardstock and bordered with the aqua shimmer paper, was much needed as the couple invited many of the guests to stay for the weekend at the hotel and beach where the wedding was taking place. ALL of these cards are tucked away easily and neatly in the bottom portion of this pocketfold, which is enclosed with a hemp ribbon. When folded, this pocket fold invitation is wrapped and tied with a hemp ribbon and an outer tag displaying the couple's names. The completed invitation was then placed in an aqua shimmer inner envelope with an ivory outer envelope. We made matching return address labels printed on ivory with fonts matching the invitation.

For the big day, we designed matchbook style programs alternating both the ivory and aqua colors used in their invitations, with a small touch of the brown handmade paper. But don't stop there, to keep everything flowing we design coordinating menus and use starfish that double as a favor and escort card with printed tags displaying the guest and table number.

This gorgeous invitation couldn't have been more perfect for a barefoot beach wedding at the beautiful Tradewinds Resort on St. Petersburg Beach, Florida. Keep in mind all of these paper colors can be altered to perfectly match your wedding colors. Email us @ invitationsbythisandthat@live.com for pricing and more invitation options.
