Kate's Wedding Invitations

Part of my wedding gift to my sister was to create and send out her wedding invitations.  She wanted something simple and unique and I had so much fun coming up with different ideas and playing around in Adobe Illustrator.  

My favorite part about the invitations was a puzzle piece I included with each invite.  I made the two below posters and had them printed on sturdy cardboard.  I then cut them up into exactly the right amount of pieces and included a puzzle piece and instructions with each invite.  Each guest was to sign the back of the puzzle piece or write a short note and then include their piece in the return envelope with their RSVP card. When Kate and her fiance Justin receive each RSVP they'll have another piece to one of the puzzles, and once put together will have two commemorative wedding posters they can hang or keep in small boxes I provided.  

The picture used for the poster is an actual watercolor of the venue
where Kate and Justin are getting married.

Justin put the above quote on their wedding website and I
 just had to use it as part of their invitations!

Assembling and stacking the invitations.

I tied pale blue iridescent ribbon around each invitation and then tucked
in the return envelope, RSVP card, puzzle piece and instructions.  

I gave my sister a copy of her invitations during her bachelorette party and they were a hit!
