Customized Casual Invitations

I'm really excited about a new product I'm using called "in deluxe" and it allows me to take an existing invitation card or accessory and make a new look by changing the color of the design, the background color, the layout, or the fonts.

The best part about it is that it's printed "in-house" -- so the finished product is available within 2 days, usually less. Plus, there is no minimum requirement -- you can get as few as 2 invitations, or as many as you need. And, if you need to have additional ones printed later, there is no extra fee! The invitations are perfect for:

  • Rehearsal Dinners
  • Showers
  • Bridal Luncheons
  • Engagement Parties
  • Brunches
  • Anniversary Parties
  • Retirement Parties
There is almost no limit to what you can create! Here are a few examples:

Here we have a bridal shower invitation. The bridesmaid wanted to emphasize the bride's color scheme, which included light pink, hot pink and cornflower blue. So, the background color was changed from pale yellow to light pink. The leaf design became hot pink and cornflower blue instead of periwinkle and white. The bride's name was done in hot pink, and was capitalized. The text layout also changed.


So, the Engagement Party invitation on the left is set up with a light aqua background. Minimal changes were made to give it a totally new look for the Save the Date card on the right. The background was changed to ecru to give a more formal look. The couple wanted to emphasize that it was a Save the Date card, so "Save the Date" was placed inside the design. Because the design is on a neutral background, it really shows up much better! The couple was satisfied with the fonts, so these remained the same.


The Save the Date card on the left was changed to a Kitchen Shower invitation on the right. The light blue background became white, and the hydrangea flowers changed from purple to peacock blue. The text was changed to a script, with the bride's name matching the peacock blue of the flowers. And the invitation layout was changed from horizontal to vertical. Such a difference!


The anniversary invitation on the left was changed to a 25th anniversary for friends. The background color was changed from pale yellow to celadon green. The text was expanded and both the block font and the script font were changed to be more decorative. The color of the leaf design was changed from tan and brown to sage green and rust. It's hard to believe that it's the same invitation!
