Sassy Snowflake Wedding Invitation for a Chic Winter Wedding
September 22, 2009
Are you a bride planning a winter wedding? I’m sure you already know that time is running out to get your wedding invitations ordered. Well, I have good news for you!
Unlike a lot of custom invitation shops who have processing times of 4 - 8 weeks or longer, the processing times at Joyful Heart Design are only 2 - 3 weeks. So, you still have time to order your wedding invitations for your winter wedding in December, January or February.
If you are looking for a unique, contemporary, colorful, chic, non-traditional winter wedding invitation, you might like my Sassy Snowflakes Pocket Wedding Invitation with its stylized snowflake design.
It is shown here in light blue, navy blue and white, but the invitation is completely customizable. You can choose from around 50 pocketfold colors, and the invitation & inserts can be printed using any color inks imaginable. They can even be printed in metallic silver or gold inks. You also get to choose your fonts. I have a large list of fonts for you to choose from so you are sure to find the perfect fonts to suit the style of your wedding.
Some polar color combinations for snowflake theme weddings are:
- light blue, navy and white
- light blue, navy and silver
- tiffany blue and silver
- purple, lavender and silver
- purple, ice blue and white
- purple and gold
- hot pink, light pink and white
- silver, black and white
- gold and white

Carry Out Your Wedding Theme with Matching Placecards and Place card holders
August 12, 2009
The difference is in the details!
A simple way to incorporate your wedding theme and your wedding colors on your reception tables is to use matching place cards and/or place card holders.
It’s a simple decorating stategy, but it’s not always easy to find matching place cards. That’s why Joyful Heart Design Custom Invitations offers matching place cards with every wedding invitation design. We can also print your place cards for you with your guest’s names, saving you lots of time.
For example, here is a Spring Garden Theme wedding invitation in yellow, green and brown, along with the matching place cards.
These were designed as tent cards, which fold and stand on their own. However, we would be glad to create the place cards as a flat card instead, to be used with a place card holder.
For instance, check out these lovely handblown glass miniature vase place card holders. Add some flowers in your wedding colors for a very elegant effect.
Or you could put your place cards inside an elegant gold frame, like the one below.
Or place them on top these adorable mini topiary place card holders.
My favorite place to shop for unique place card holders is MyWeddingFavors.com
Enter coupon code TAKE25 to receive $25 off orders over $200.
Or enter coupon code SAVE10 to receive 10% off orders over $150.
Unique Fall Wedding Invitations in Burgundy and Orange
July 31, 2009
Are you looking for unique fall wedding invitations with a modern design…
with something other than the traditional fall leaf or pumpkin icons?
My “Sassy Sunburst” design was created with you in mind. The stylized sunburst is warm and inviting. It is fun, yet formal; bold, yet simple. The squash orange and garnet red sunburst could be used on save the date cards as well as on other wedding accessories, decorations and favors to carry the autumn theme throughout the entire wedding and reception.
At Joyful Heart Design, we give you lots of options to customize and personalize your invitations to make them uniquely yours. For instance, look how different the invitation can look just by changing the color of the pocketfolder.
Pair the invite with a Cranberry Red or Burgundy pocketfolder for a very rich, almost regal look. Add an orange mat (invite backing layer) to accent the names printed in orange text.
The Copper metallic pocketfolder adds a warm glow to the invite. This color combo would go great with a rustic, outdoor theme as well as with a glamorous theme that incorporated lots of shimmery metals, like gold, bronze and copper.
Changing the fonts used can also dramatically change the mood and style of the invitation.
For a more formal, very elegant look, pair the autumn invite with the Champagne metallic pocketfolder, a Tuscany Sun (burnt orange) mat, and a satin burgundy ribbon.
You can also add further customization to the invite by adding embellishments like ribbons, seals, jewels or crystals.
This Sassy Sunburst Pocket Wedding Invitation matches the Autumn Sunburst Save the Date Card design that I blogged about earlier.

New Autumn Sunburst Save the Date Card Design
July 17, 2009
I created this new Autumn Sunburst Save the Date card and I’d like your feedback on it. It is not for sale… yet. I entered it in the Seasonal Save the Date design challenge at minted.com. If it wins or is one of the top designs, then it will be for sale on minted.com.
I used deep jeweltones to give this contemporary card an autumn feel even without the typical fall leaf or pumpkin icons. The stylized sunburst is warm and inviting. It is fun, yet formal; bold, yet simple. The squash orange and garnet red sunburst could be used on the wedding invitations and on other wedding accessories, decorations and favors to carry the autumn theme throughout the entire wedding and reception.
So… if you like it and would like to be able to purchase it, then please go to minted.com and rate it. (5 means you love it!)
While you are at minted.com, take a look at all the awesome designs submitted for the challenge and rate some others as well. (If you only rate one or two cards, then they throw those scores out.)
Also, feel free to leave me a comment either here or on minted.com with your thoughts about my Autumn Sunburst Save the Date card.

Butterfly Wedding Invitation Design and Ideas
June 10, 2009
Butterflies make a great wedding theme not only because of their beautiful colors and unique shape, but also because of their symbolism. The butterfly is most commonly viewed as a symbol of new life because it goes through three stages of life— the caterpillar (birth), the chrysalis or cocoon (death) and the butterfly (resurrection.) Butterflies can also represent change, transition, transformation, celebration, joy, beauty, love and freedom.
Butterflies are very easy to incorporate into every part of your wedding from the invitation to the wedding ceremony to the reception.
I will start with wedding invitation ideas and then present wedding ceremony and reception ideas in subsequent posts.
Pink Lacy Butterfly Wedding Invite
The trend in wedding invitations is now for invitations to very colorful with text that is not all centered but left-aligned or right-aligned or both, with modern designs that seem to fall off the edge of the paper. My Lacy Butterflies Pocket Wedding Invitation contains all of these elements, which explains why it has been so popular this year, especially for Spring and Summer weddings.
Here is what one client had to say about her Tiffany Blue and Peach Lacy Butterfly pocket wedding invitations:
“Thank you, thank you! We are working feverishly to get the invites out in today’s mail. They look terrific; I’ll send one to you for your book of collections…” —Ashley Johnson
It is shown here in the two most popular color combinations of tiffany blue & peach, and also in a range of different shades of pink— from hot pink to a medium rose pink to a light baby pink.
