When we met with Ashton and Thurman we were really excited to start creating their wedding invitations. They came to us with a 1940's theme and wanted to blow away their guests once they opened their invitations. We did just that with this over sized layered invitation Hollywood invitation set. Three layers of shimmer paper were used: black, deep red and ivory. A ivory ribbon was wrapped around the back to hold their reply post card. These would be the colors that would match the bridesmaids dresses and shoes.  These beautiful card stocks used weren't the only dazzling thing about this invitation how about the posh format??!! We mixed art deco fonts with classic script emulating a 1940's movie style poster. All the traditional invitation information was included and had its own special section all ending with a
 "Enjoy the Show!" .





Speaking of posters...our couple decided to ix nay the place cards and chose a seating board instead. We used the same papers and fonts as the invitation to create this matching seating board with titles capturing the theme using lingo such as
"co-stars" and "featuring".






What a GLAMOROUS wedding!!! Which is why we decided to name this invitation just that, Glamorous:)
