Tea Party!





Becki came to me with the cutest idea for a bridal shower invite. She wanted to do a tea party for the bridal show and wanted the invites to look like a tea party! How cute is that! We used a really cute "green tea" color pocket to hold the insert card. On the card I designed a cute tea cup and saucer to go along with the theme of the shower. The card was printed on a cream shiny paper and backed with a light pink shiny paper to really make it stand out and look girlie! I just love these colors and love the tea party idea! Customized bridal shower invites are such a great way to create a fun theme for a shower. The possibilities are endless! Thanks so much Becki for letting me design these "oh so cute" invites and thanks again for all the referrals!

Guest Books



Here is the guest book that I designed for Brianne! Her invites were so cute so I incorporated the same style and feel as the invites into this brown and orange guest book. The book above is an 8x8 canvas brown book with an orange ribbon to add a little extra style to it! Pink Piggy offers more than just invitations and announcements. We also do custom designed guest books, which are really cute and so much more personable, than those white books that you get from the store! You can choose from many different color books and sizes. Inside I design photo pages with pictures you provide of you and your fiancée. These are so much fun because your guests can look through the book and see your pics as well as have a place for them to sign it. Inquire about these creative books and get more info by sending me an e-mail!

Brianne Invites




This seasonal orange and brown invite has to be one of my favorites to design and I absolutely love the way they turned out! This invite was for Brianne who along with her mother have been one of my favorite clients to work with! Brianne and I came up with some really great ideas and it was fun to feed off of each other. Her colors where orange, cream, and brown which were perfectly suited for her fall wedding. We printed on cream shimmer paper with brown ink and accents of orange for the names. The invitation was backed with an orange shimmer card stock that matched the orange band around the brown pocket. These custom created pockets are a great way to organize invitations with lots of inserts and as well as being super stylish. We livened up the insert cards with an orange fall leaf design which really brought the look and feel of the colors and season together. The invite was topped off with a monogram seal which really sealed the deal! I just love it and have enjoyed the design process so much! Thanks Brianne.... you are so cute!

Baby Maddox



This is a baby shower invite that I did for Jamie and her soon to be baby boy Maddox, which I just love that name! For this invited I used a light blue shimmer paper printed with brown ink. The card was backed with a brown and blue polka-dot paper and placed in a matching polka-dot pocket. It was all topped off with a light blue ribbon to create a really cute and trendy baby shower invite.

Red Robyn!



These red invites are hotness! Red and black can be some what of a common seasonal color right now... but these red and black invites or anything but ordinary! Robyn is one of my really good friends all of they way back from junior high! I was so excited when I was able to do her invites cause she really is such a sweet girl and I just loved working with her! Robyn told me that her colors were red and black and that I can do what ever I wanted to for the design and that rocked! I wanted to do something really flashy and striking so I designed the invites with a black and white patterned backing card stock, another layer of shiny black card stock, and then we printed the perfect shade of red on top of white shiny paper with white knockouts for the names. Even though these were "just a card" with nothing fancy added to them like folded pockets or ribbon... they still looked just as awesome! That is the great thing about Pink Piggy is that we can do "just a simple card" but still make it very unique and different from any other invitations you have ever seen. I couldn't have been more happy with the way these turned out and how much fun I had being able to design something that is truly one of a kind! Thanks again Robyn and best wishes!

photography ads






Take a second look cause these are not invites to someones wedding, but they could be! For those of you who didn't know... Pink Piggy also does designs for business advertising. Don't these ads look so sleek and classy! These are actually some ads that I designed for my friend Jason with Jason McGrew Photography. He passed these unique ads out at the Bridal Extravaganza show last weekend. I just love the way that these cards turned out! I designed them using a graphite shine outer pocket envelope to hold the ads and business card together. I added kind of a funky floral design to the cards to set them off and give them a really edgy modern look. To top it all of they were sealed with silver wax and an "m" seal which was the ultimate touch in classiness! I love combining modern designs with some traditional touches to give an over all custom look and feel. These not so average ads are sure to turn some heads!

Eggplant for Kamilla




Kamilla came to me looking for something really unique, classy and most of all it had to have the eggplant color in it! (For those of you who don't know what color eggplant is.... well its a deep purple) The great thing about Pink Piggy is that we have such a wide variety of colors and papers that we can always make sure that our clients can find that exact color they are looking for, and we pride ourselves in coming up with great color combinations that compliment each other! I love the colors that we chose for this invite! The eggplant purple was really striking next to the bamboo green! We printed on white shimmer paper with metallic gold ink which really was the perfect touch! Thanks Kamilla & Jacob! It was a pleasure to work with you!

Suzette Invites!




Those of you at the Bridal Show last weekend got a sneak peak on this new invite, but for those of you who haven't seen it yet... check it out! Suzette wanted a really traditional look for her wedding invitations. She wanted her invites to look very elegant and traditional while still being unique. We used a very beautiful calligraphy font as well a traditional Roman small caps font. I love to use more than one font on invitations because I feel like it really makes the words stand out! Suzette wanted her invites printed on a cream shimmer paper with brown thermography or 'raised ink' printing. The thermography process is when the printed paper is removed from the press with wet ink, a plastic powder is sprayed on the wet ink and then blown off. The plastic powder absorbs the ink color. The paper is then heated until the plastic powder melts leaving a raised ink which you can feel. This creates the ultimate classic and rich look! We then backed the invites with a bamboo green layer and placed them in a brown shimmer pouch with matching green and cream ribbons to tie it all together! I love this color combination so much and I think they turned out truly beautiful! Congratulations Suzette!
