This suite is the perfect example of coordinating a fun, casual save the date with a classic, formal invitation! The cohesive look was achieved by incorporating the calligraphy font into the save the date and the coral ink into the invitation envelope liner. This has our stamp of approval!

As if the skyline doesn’t make this invitation pop enough, the mix of lemon and plum gives the suite an extra punch!

Budget tip: Save money by keeping the invitation and inserts one color. Add the second color to the belly band to give the entire suite a two color look!

A fancy wedding doesn’t have to be stuffy! Alyssa & Isreal planned a gorgeous, formal wedding without forfeiting the fun. The invitation set the tone for the fancy feast with two color letterpress, whimsical calligraphy and a soft color palette.

Hello!

My name is Katie VanderVelde and I am so very excited to be interning with Magnificent Milestones this summer!

This move was a big one for me: Moving from Kansas to the big city has always been a big dream of mine so now that I have landed in the Windy City, I am ready to take it by storm!

My style is classic meets funky. When it comes to invitations and stationery, I love a classic look with bright and chic embellishments. I carefully select everything I send: pops of color and perfected wording are must-haves. I want the recipient to become instantly cheerful after opening the envelope.

I’m so ecstatic to start this journey this summer and could not be more thrilled to learn from these amazing ladies. I believe that this summer will be a life changer for me and I cannot wait to see what it brings.

Please feel free to introduce yourself whenever you walk through the doors because I will be here to greet you!

XOXO,
Katie

A quick peek at this invitation and you can hear the jazz music and taste the cocktails!

This couple was ahead of the curve with their deco inspired wedding at historic The Blackstone Hotel. The color scheme of white, gold, blush and black kept the wedding as romantic as it was fun.

Elegance is made easy with {1} a gorgeous script, {2} a 2ply cardstock and {3} soft personal touches like a pattern liner and horizontal layout.

That’s as easy as 1, 2, 3!

We love color, but neutrals are a favorite of ours, too: they are classic and always style! But if you are looking to add a twist to an otherwise classic invitation, we suggest adding a geometric or striped envelope liner or a painted edge.
