A few months back, Chuck, a professional photographer friend of mine, gave me a tutorial on shooting pics of my Premium invitations. He loved the invitations, but noted that photos really didn’t do them justice. It’s the experience of holding the envelope, opening it, and discovering the invitation inside that is so special! Chuck suggested I take a series of photos to illustrate this experience (as much as one can online) – an invitation animation, as it were.

Here, then, are a couple of my Premium invitations “in action.” An actual animation would be better, but until I figure out how to do that, just imagine…

Thank you Chuck!

We’re past “Wedding Season”, and although I’m enjoying having more time to create art, dance Argentine Tango, and work on my upcoming CD Online Dating Blues, I must admit my bank account is looking forward to Wedding Season ramping up again!

“Bar/Bat Mitzvah Season,” however, is year-round, and I’ve been getting a lot of calls lately for invitations.

I love creating bar/bat mitzvah invitations, and it’s always a treat when I get to work with a client to create the perfect invitation for their celebration. I’ve created variations of this Tree of Life design (which started life as a ketubah very similar to the one in the previous post) for wedding invitations, baby name certificates, birth announcements, and bar/bat mitzvah invitations and certificates. Right now I’m actually in the middle of a wedding invitation job using this same tree with a red ribbon, mounted on red cardstock – should be cool! I’ll post pics when it’s done, but in the meantime, here’s a pic of one of my most popular bar mitzvah and bat mitzvah invitation designs:
