Soooo everyone wants to add a personal touch to their wedding invitations, right?! A little something so when your guests open the envelope and pull out this beautiful presentation of important information they kinda know...it's from you. 

We were uber excited when Asha and Mike, from Reading, PA came to us wanting to incorporate their pretty pooch Max into their wedding invitations.

We started with a handmade square, white pocketfold. Like most of us, Asha and Mike adore their pretty puppy and wanted to incorporate him into this special process. Max was nice enough to pose with a red bow tie and let us post him all over the internet:) This fancy photo was then bordered with a thick black cardstock and placed on the center cover of their pocket fold invitation. We layed red and white gingham ribbon under the photo and wrapped it all the way around to the inside of the invitation. We made the pockets with silver brads and lined it with a piece of red linen cardstock for an added touch of color. To keep the theme flowing, we printed a strip of red gingham border on the top of both enclosure cards. The invitation was printed on a bright white cardstock and backed with a thick black cardstock, leaving enough space to show the red and white gingham ribbon which was wrapped around the front of the the pocket. Altogether, the invitation set turned out beautifully. Showcasing their beautiful boxer was a wonderful way to add not only a personal touch, but some personality too!
