"Marie Antionette" Themed 50th Birthday

Happy Thursday!!!
I'd wanted to blog these gorgeous invitations for a while now but just been too busy. We created the invitations below for a very fabulous lady. And when I say fabulous, I mean like Sofia Vergera type fabulous. Honestly, this woman looked too good for her age. Okay enough of that (lol). We met Mrs. Rincon through her wedding planner - Alia Rdissi with Belle of the Ball events. It's always fun working with Alia and her clients and this wasn't an exception.
 
She was planning a Marie Antoinette themed 50th Birthday celebration in Aruba. She fell in love with the design below from Paper Nosh. So I contacted Paulette about the artwork and below is the finished product. Some of the invitations were done in Spanish while others in English. We letterpress them, presented each invitation in a silk Box with Lace overlay and completed the look with a Cameo brooch. Love the look of letterpress!!!
 
Letterpressed Invitations
 
The Invitations were presented to each guest in a Luxurious Silk Box

The enclosures were also letterpressed.

The Silk Boxes were placed in Boxed Mailers and sealed. Ready for mailing.

For the Menu cards, I wanted to create something a different but keeping with the theme. I suggested laser cutting the menu cards (to look similar to the Cameo Brooch). And below is the end result. Aren't these GORG!!!

Alia was kind enough to send a phone photo of the menu cards displayed on the table. Just too gorgeous!!!

Hope you enjoy your weekend!!!
