You're Invited To Our Big Fat Brown Wedding!

Our invitations took me forever to finalize. I fussed and fretted over every little detail from line thickness to wording. I changed the paper, the design and I think lost my mind in the process. But I am SO glad I did because I ended up with these beauties:

This is the inside of our pocket fold style invitation. The pocket holds our homecoming reception, mendhi, directions, RSVP and response envelope. Our main invitation is mounted on the other side.

These pictures really don't do them justice. The black marks don't help either. I assure everyone that the colors are very vibrant and the gold shimmery paper glows. I think Saima used the same gold paper on Mrs. Jasmine's invitations.

I am so happy with the end results and I think Saima did an amazing job creating invitations that are modern but with classic South Asian feel. Now I'm excited to infuse some of the invitation elements (lotus flowers and our monogram) into the wedding. :)
