What a fun idea...to have a big co-ed wedding shower at a Vintage Train Station. This couple is so precious and will be living and serving in Zambia. So a travel theme seemed fitting. This was a collaborative effort with my friend Kim . (love her design skills!) Kim Grant, Ink & Such

The fun suitcase has the couples Registry Information

many loving hands...hand cut our
"pop-up"couple.


Love Kim's saweeet' envelope train liner

Vintage San Diego Wedding Invitation





Well, this is one of those wedding invitations I can't look at enough. the soft iridescent feel makes this suite kinda magical. (just saying') It starts with a metallic vellum logo wrap.
 
The Balboa Park Artwork was from a 1915 Program. I toned down the colors to give it a soft romantic feel.

The outer envelope was lined with a metallic Pyrite liner.
Another custom Stamp design ties the ribbon on this package.



The Map was backed with the same pyrite color. I love little round maps.



Love the custom stamps!
