The Invitation:

Internet Notes to Lori and Ed: 
Well, here is the final camera-ready art.  I hope you like it!   The invite...

About 10 days later, Lori and Ed received the completed invitations from the printer:

As you can see, the invitation has two score lines, making it a three panel invitation that folds to fit into a standard A-2 envelope. This illustration is available for your invitation in your choice of ink and paper colors. The size can be modified to fit a different size envelope. Just contact me.

The Wedding Program...

Notes to Lori and Ed: 
I moved the type and printed 2 small holes for you to punch for your ribbon.  The holes are 1/2" from the top of the paper.  I hope you like the art.

Because Lori and Ed's wedding was being held in November, they were using some holiday greenery to decorate the church.  They wanted this brought into the design of the program.  Lori needed a program cover, and she wanted a blank back sheet to match the cover paper. To save some money and time, she wanted some matching parchment sheets that she could put in her laser printer. Most wedding programs are not printed until a week or two before the wedding.  Doing it herself allowed Lori more control for last minute changes. 

I worked the church from the invitation into the program cover.  I designed a frame with the swag idea, using greenery and a wreath.  I than carried the birds and the Cross from the invitation over into the program design.  I only had to create new artwork for the frame, the church was the taken right from the invitation art (saving the bride money).  I also designed it with two dots at the top to mark where holes need to be punched to tie the pages together with ribbon.

The actual finished Program.

I really liked the phrase Lori chose for the cover, she had read it somewhere... 

"This day I will marry my friend...the one I laugh with, live for , dream with, Love."

Several of my brides have used the same phrase, or modified it slightly.

The RSVP:

Notes to Lori and Ed:  
The RSVP  (I can print your labels for return address on these!)

A postcard is a great RSVP card.  It requires less postage, and no envelope.  Of course, it also depends on how formal you want things to be...  So far, all my brides have used the postcard!  The postcard is enclosed with the invitation, fitting into the A-2 envelope. This is the artwork for print - the actual RSVP card matched the invitation and program.
