Monday, January 2, 2012 at 3:37PM Welcome to 2012 everyone!
Feel like taking a trip? Perhaps you'll need your passport...
We loved creating these travel themed invites this past year - it was definitely one of the trends of 2011, and promises to continue into 2012.
Congratulations to Carolyn & Aaron, Ingrid & Arthur, and Natasha & Tyler!
We'll have more from Carolyn & Aaron's invitation set coming soon...

Dana & Tom found us all the way from Arizona & we’re so glad they did. Dana’s criteria for her invitation was for it to be striking & unusual yet portray a simple elegance while incorporating traditional red & gold in respect of her father’s Chinese heritage. The ceremony was held at the cutest little rustic chapel in Tucson while the reception was at an upscale restaurant, so it was important that the invitation be a reflection of both of these locations & the inherent elegance of both. She decided on a beautiful red silk gate fold folio with gold ribbon & ornate crystal clasps we had made and shipped from China specifically for these invitations. Each invitation was wrapped in gold tissue and mailed in a glossy red box with custom address labels. We loved working with Dana & always appreciate the trust it takes in working with a vendor from so many miles away!

Michelle, from the Great Events group, came to us with the great theme of Four Seasons.
She was looking for something fun and whimsical for her Save the Dates, and brought forward the idea of the "fortune teller" game - I think it works perfectly!
Can't wait to work on Michelle & Cyprian's wedding invites - working with this creative couple, I guarantee they'll be spectacular!
P.s. I can now fold these in my sleep :)

Once you open the folds, you see the couple's monogram. Each triangular flap has additional wedding details.
The folded game was inserted onto a 5" x 5" flat card with instructions.

Loved, loved, loved this set we did for a couple embracing the theme of "follow your heart." She was based in Vancouver, he was based in Boston, and what better way to illustrate their long distance love than with a clever heart and map graphic.
The invite was letterpress printed on double thick Cranes bamboo stock, and the postcard response card was letterpressed onto heavy weight chip board. The final product was tied together with twine, the perfect rustic finishing touch.
Have a look!
For a personal touch, we added hearts and "travel lines" to all the locations where the wedding guests would be travelling from.
A pale pink envelope liner accented the set perfectly.
The Bride wanted something out-of the ordinary for her thank you cards, so we went with a landscape oriented folded card, and used matching pink striped washi masking tape on the inside.
The beautiful couple! Congratulations Taylor & Chris!
Many thanks to Renee at Aird Events in Vancouver for the reccommendation!

Kraft, chipboard, letterpress, map, pink in Client, Top 11 of 2011, custom Friday, November 18, 2011 at 3:05PM It's a cold one here in Calgary today, and nothing warms us up more than a heartfelt review from one of our past cherished clients. Thank you for your kind words Dana & Tom, we wish you a wonderful future as husband and wife.
Let me preface this review by saying that I am probably a pain-in-the-arse type of bride to work with. It's not that I'm a bridezilla or a nitpicky about details, rather, I tend to be flakey and can drop the ball on the communication front. So with that in mind, let me additionally say that Dione Dashoney from Plush Invitations is an absolute SAINT.
She was exceedingly patient with me, always positive, and the one "big" crisis I had, she mitigated, found a solution for, and defused the situation before it even became a thing. :) All of our business was conducted via email, and even though Plush Invitations is in Canada (I am in the United States), we received all of our products in a very timely manner and packaged really well. Because of the time constraints that I had and the distance, Dione did not send me any physical proofs, but the pictures she sent were good enough. Still, I was BLOWN AWAY by how gorgeous my invitations were when I received them.
They are so stunning, so detailed, and just well, is the epitome of elegance and couture. I knew that I wanted a gatefold invitation, but I had really no idea that from the gorgeous thick quality of the paper to the silk-wrapped folio of the invitations, how nice it would look all put together. I cannot even begin to say how many compliments I received for the invitations - people called me up to talk about them and I had guests bringing the invitations to work so that they could show them off to other people, lol.
Dione also put together napkin jewels for me (a small jewel on a ribbon to tie around the napkins for the reception place settings), as well as an insert that went inside of the box to our wedding favors. In fact, I will be sending Dione one of these wedding favors when I get the chance. :)
Dione was wonderful to work with. She was prompt with replies, had great suggestions, and overall has a solid work ethic. I would recommend Plush Invitations to anyone who is looking to create unique invitations for their wedding that nobody else will have.

Wedding: October 15th, 2011
