New York City, a city of historic landmarks, towering sky scrapers and lush Central Park, was the location for Kelly and Rob’s Autumn wedding. With the reception taking place at The American Museum of Natural History, Kelly and Rob wanted a simple wedding invitation with a little vintage flair.
The Inspiration
The Invitation
We designed a pocket-fold invitation, complete with custom wax seal. The reply card played up the reception venue location with a sketch of the museum, and “admit” and “no admittance” for the reply options. The hotel information and direction card was in the form of a book, with a vintage New York City map as the cover.
For Kelly and Rob’s escort cards, we also played on the reception location by naming the tables after animals in the museum. Escort cards were made to resemble little brochures, all with a question and fun fact about the animal your table was.
