Creative RSVP cards

What is my favorite part of designing an invitation? The RSVP card! This is a place where you can get really creative, and also tie in your theme! Today, I will feature two of my favorite RSVP cards from recent clients.

This RSVP was for a video game themed Bar Mitzvah. We played around with the wording of this card to make it seem like the guest was actually playing a video game and not filling out a RSVP! Adding the graphic of the Wii remote helped tie in the theme even further.

This fun RSVP was for a Willy Wonka themed party. We put the oompa loompas on there, and created a cute little rhyme reminiscent of the oompa loompa songs from the movie.

So when it comes to RSVP cards, let your imagination and creativity run wild! Anything goes!

Photofetti Save the Date!

When I saw this wedding save the date idea on Creature Comforts, I immediately thought this would be perfect for a bar/bat mitzvah if you replaced the confetti with photofetti!

Here are the resources you'd need for this project:

1. Vellum envelopes at a place like Paper and More

2. Photo confetti from Photofetti

3. Custom rubber stamp from The Rubber Press on Etsy

Here are some sample stamps from The Rubber Press:

Simply stamp your personalized save the date info on your vellum envelope (let dry for at least 24 hours because vellum has a waxy surface that ink takes a while to absorb into). Fill with your custom ordered  photofetti and mail to your excited guests! How adorable!!

Damask Invitations

For printing, you can either print them at home or bring them to a place like Kinko's or Office Depot.... They can also cut them for you (I bring my work to Kinko's for cutting--it costs next to nothing and the edges look so much cleaner!).
