Non-paper Invitation inspiration – plexiglass, scrolls (ok that’s paper), and tins

So I remember meeting a graphic designer at Pronovias (wish I remembered her name) who was presenting some cool invitations on plexiglass and velvet. Seriously? The invitation could double as a coaster!

I think my invitations are cute. Not super fancy, but interesting with lots of little details (I will post soon I promise!). They were also extremely budget friendly.

I hope people will keep them because my blood, sweat, and tears went into them. Yes, the old guilt trick. I know it will be tossed anyway, especially by the single male friends. But what would make an invitation a REAL keep sake?

1. Plexiglass invitation – durable, smooth, it could even be a paperweight!

2. Fan or scroll invitation – perfect for a warm, summer night or anything else you might decree, heehee

3. Tin cover invites – both an invitation envelope and a CD/DVD case – brilliant!

4. Finally, fabric backed invites – I totally would have used alencon lace trim if I had thought of it earlier…well and if it wasn’t $35/yard.  An all fabric invite would also be wonderfully eco-friendly!  Think of your guests using them around the home!
