During the Spring, I had the pleasure of working with 2 NYC doctors who were getting married. The bride is Vietnamese with a little Chinese so they wanted to incorporate Vietnamese traditions and symbols into the invitation and the wedding. We used a dragon and phoenix image to represent the male and female and well and the double-happiness Chinese symbol.
The biggest dilemma the couple had was deciding on which color pocket-fold to choose. The colors of the wedding were red and gold so I showed them mock-up invitations using a bold red matte pocket and the other in a metallic champagne gold. She loved the gold but he loved the red.
The best thing about custom-designing an invitation is that you have the flexibility to mix and match. I told them it was no problem to do half and half, which thrilled the couple. They were so happy with the invitations and kept emailing me saying the responses from the invitation were so positive. In fact, they heard from one older relative that wasn't planning on attending the wedding but after receiving the invitation said he couldn't miss it!
The couple asked me to do the program, menu, place cards and table cards which complimented the invitations perfectly. I was really happy with everything and was told by the event planner it was a huge success!
