"New Year's Eve Gala"  

This groom had quite a story to tell about the interesting way he proposed to his bride-to-be. So I asked him to write the entire story down for me. It was so intriguing, we decided to print it on a vellum overlay and place it over a concept card featuring a black-and-white photograph of Arthur’s Seat in Scotland, the exact spot where he proposed.

I also asked him to write a short story about how he and his bride met many years ago, and we used that on a vellum overlay of the bride's shower invitation.

Then we thought the bride should have a turn, so she too wrote down her special memories. Then I designed custom thank-you cards with her story overlaying a photo of the blissful couple kissing at midnight.

In addition, since this was a New Year's Eve wedding, we sent everyone a little white box filed with confetti and a festive blow horn, with a short note telling them to be sure to “Save-the-Date”!
