These are gatefold invitations I designed for a bridal shower. My client, the groom's mother, wanted to include two adorable childhood photos of her son and soon-to-be daughter in law and created rhyming text to link the images with the invite. Since the shower is to be held at the beginning of spring, I decided to adorn the card with flowering trees and 'love-birds' perched within the branches. I housed the photos within chinoiserie-inspired pagoda 'bird cages' and used vibrant yet sophisticated spring colors. The centers of the flowers on the exterior of the card have a touch of hand-applied glitter for an extra sparkly touch. The invitations were printed on linen-finish paper to complete the chinoiserie look and feel.
