Custom Invitations with Hotel logos


It's always more impressive if your Hotel Accommodation Card or Map have the logo of the hotel that you're directing your guests to. Especially if it can be printed in your colors! It looks professional and has the added bonus of being custom! If you're not getting invitations from My Creative Wedding does your invitation person do this for no additional cost? It's YOUR invitation, YOUR blank canvas. Whatever you decide to design it with is up to you! At no additional cost!

We've done all types of logos. The ones in the picture above: Verandas, St. Regis Monarch Hotel, Doubletree, Dreams Cancun, Sheraton Park, Pala Mesa Golf Course, Outrigger Hawaii, Hilton, The Portofino Redondo Beach, and 7-Degrees Laguna Beach.

Get your hotel / venue logo on your invite...I did! I got married at the Lion's Lighthouse for Sight located near the Aquarium of the Pacific. My talented friend Amanda is a professional Illustrator and drew the lighthouse logo for me to help with the wedding, which I used for my engagement invitations and plan to still use when we send out invitations for our renewal of vows.

If you're still shopping for invitations, ask the others if they provide this custom design service and more importantly for how much?

How to make your Wedding Invitations personal to you!

So many brides want their invitations to be different, unique, they want them to stand out from the rest, and look creative but don't have the opportunity to find anyone that will do it for a reasonable price. Well that's where we fit in. Did you know that when we say custom...it really is! Here are a few samples of My Creative Wedding invitations that have the personal touch:
Debbie and Steve, one of my favorite couples, are getting married this May. They wanted an invitation that had Steve's family crest:
They loved the way that we incorporated the family crest in the design of the invitation.
Or Ana and Mario who wanted wedding invitations with a rose design from:
To this:
And I love how my bride Gillian found inspiration for her invitations from her wedding cake from Erica O'brien
And if you can't make up your mind with the colors, see them in different colors without finding the mistake after it prints:
And one of the weddings I can't wait for: Tiffany and Jeff who are getting married on 08.08.08! They have a carnival theme. Our inspiration: the farris wheel.
Used with striped grosgrain navy blue ribbon and hot pink metallic paper!
You want to know what real customization means? It means incorporating WHATEVER they want! Don't let stationary "boutiques" tell you that your theme isn't "etiquette". If we listened to them, we'd all have white invitations with tissue in between them!
My hat's off to Tiffany and Omar! They're getting married on October 31st! That's right Halloween! Inspired by their love for theater and the movie "Nightmare before Christmas" their theme will set the tone for their wedding. And their invitations...custom designed pocket-fold coffin invitations!

Amada Wedding Preview

Tonight we met a lot of brides at the Amada Wedding Preview. We are a preferred vendor for the Amada as well as many other hotels. Amada's packages include wedding invitations which sets them apart from the rest. The atrium roof opens up to reveal the stars at night. It's a beautiful place and on top of that, the food is great!

We are also listed vendors for the Los Coyotes Country Club
And the Doubletree Anaheim:

And the Doubletree LAX:
And the La Mirada Holiday Inn:
These are our featured hotels/venues that we love to work with. They've done the research for vendors and have their vendor referred lists, which is great for brides! The venues do the foot work work for you. It's great! Not to mention, our brides get a better invitation rate!

My Creative Wedding Contest for 100 FREE Custom Thank You Cards and Envelopes

Sometimes I wonder how many brides/groom actually read this blog? So to test it, My Creative Wedding is holding it's first blog contest! My Creative Wedding will be giving away 100 Free Thank You Cards and Envelopes to the bride/groom that leaves the most comments on our blog in the next month. Only one comment per bride/groom per post counts. You can have relatives/friends leave a comment on your behalf. Just have them mention "REFERRED BY..." and then your name! The contest will begin February 26 and end on March 26th. I will be posting a new blog entry EVERYDAY (which will be my challenge). You must leave a comment to this post to qualify.
Terms and Conditions: No purchase necessary. Incentive product is a $150.00 promotional value. Not redeemable for cash value.

THANK YOUs

I'm dedicating this first contest post entry to the concept of wedding thank yous. How do brides and grooms say "Thank You" with style? With favors of course! Wedding favors express your gratitude and happiness for your guests' presence on your special occasion. Me? I gave bamboo wind chimes that were imported from Thailand. Until now I find that most of my guests still have them up in their patio or backyards. It's great to know that they actually used it! But for the most of you that will be giving away delicious treats, favor packaging has become standard. But who wants standard? We all want the unique cute favor at each place setting. Here's a spin on the same favor purse box wrapped in different ways.

And your typical white box with My Creative Wedding creative dust sprinkled on it. It makes everyone happy. Your guests will think that the box is the favor!



It's all in the packaging. Plain white paper boxes can be done up in countless different ways. Wrap them with colorful paper, tie them with ribbon, and seal them with a My Creative Wedding personalized sticker!

Lace Invitation Sample



Had the pleasure of doing a few samples for a bride of mine.
Using trim for invitations always adds a little elegance and interest. The invitation is double matted and pulls out of the lace trim. The RSVP envelope hides behind it. Dark chocolate brown canvas paper adds more texture. Simple, elegant and just beautiful.
The table numbers, favors, place cards and menus can all carry the lace trim detail throughout the wedding reception.

Another invite bites the dust!

Another sample of an invite that didn't make the cut!

I love the how the pink and orange compliment each other.
The couple is from Boston, MA. She has a "present" theme. Which I thought was different. And in this industry, different is great!
This design is up for bids! Call me if you're interested!
