Billboard { the BIG debut }

Thursday, April 4th, 2013

Letterpress wedding invitation: Not your average wedding invitation, the 2012 How International Merit Award winning Billboard invitation suite is a playful one-of-a-kind design that will make a BIG impact (literally). This quirky design depicts tongue-and-cheek copy, vibrant colors, a plethora of lively typefaces, and dynamic typesetting that is perfect for your unconventional event. The smart, cheeky invitation is playfully oversized (well, “Jumbo” actually), and each collateral piece is equally clever and fun in its own right. Your guests will have a great time discovering and savoring the witticisms unique to each piece! The Billboard invitation suite is also a perfect option for Bar Mitzvah invitations, Bat Mitzvah invitations, or for custom party invitations with a fun and funky vibe.

entry #1: our LOVE NOTE invitation inspiration

Friday, January 6th, 2012

We are totally smitten with our new Umi 2 album invitation called ‘Love Note.’ As soon as we got the idea to use standard loose leaf notebook paper for an invitation concept, we were overcome with excitement about all the different ways we could infuse the idea of passing notes in class and young sweethearts writing love notes. This ridiculously cute and clever invitation package is so perfect for the couple looking to infuse some personality into their wedding celebration. We say go for it, be creative and have FUN with it.  Your guests will be catapulted back to their youth right along with you. Stay tuned for more mood boards from our brand spankin’ new Umi 2 album!
