Announcement, font: Exmouth size 36pt for names, 28pt for the "and"; Monotype Corsiva 14pt for the rest of the text.
Dimensions: 6.5 x 4.5
We decided on having the ceremony in Las Vegas because it would be the cheapest place for everyone to fly and because it looks like a place that has at least something for everyone.
Accommodations, font: Edwardian Script ITC size 30pt for "Accommodations"; Monotype Corsiva 14pt for the rest of the text.
Dimensions: 6.5 x 4.25
All of this is tentative since my fiancee and I still need to check out venues, figure out who we want to go through and set the date. I saw that you can get discounts for some airlines from another friend that got recently married but I'm unsure how to get this. Definitely will get hotel discounts but we'll figure this out later.
RSVP, font: Edwardian Script ITC size 30pt for "RSVP"; Monotype Corsiva 14pt for the rest of the text.
Dimensions: 5.125 x 3.625
I'm trying not to have too many children attending the wedding so I will either write out or print everyone's names to discourage that. This is not to say that I don't like children, I just don't want to have to deal with them on this day if I can help it. Also, we plan on having the event streamed so those who can't make it because of time conflict, financial strain or whatever can still watch; just not sure how to word this until we figure out how guests access the stream.
Escort Cards, font: Monotype Corsiva 48pt for the names, 30pt for "Table" and the numbers.
Dimensions: 5 x 3
I have an idea although I'm not sure how I'm going to do this but instead of having a guest book to sign I want the escort cards to double as something to write on and submit to the card box so people don't have to find the guest book, wait to sign it or have other people read what they write if they don't want to. For now this will just be as it is but eventually I'll play around with some paper, layouts and whatnot to see if I can get this idea to work.
Table numbers, font: Porcelain size 60.99pt for "Table"; Monotype Corsiva 257.68pt for the number. The sizes are a bit odd because I altered the text box after I typed in the text.
Dimensions:
4 x 4
or
4.5 x 4.5
eventual background:
4.5 x 4.5
or
5 x 5
Just plain old numbers for me. My fiancee wanted to do themed tables, but I figure it's easier for everyone to find their tables if they're numbered and have some order to them. Maybe I can incorporate both somehow but for now they stay as numbers. I'm still playing around with these; I could just go out and buy some 4 x 6 frames and design the table numbers to fit them. Again, still playing around
All the paper for this seemingly daunting task hasn't been ordered but I have gotten swatches from anchopaper.com and the fiancee and I have decided that we like: Lunar Blue cover weight by Astrobrights Glisten, Bronze cover weight by Stardream Metallics, and 96 Carrara White cover by Nekoosa Linen. We haven't figured out how much and what sizes of each color we're going to get but there's still plenty of time to think about that. Also, to start off we originally wanted to do wax seals to close the pocket folds up but after reading around the knot boards I've been finding that it's going to cost extra in postage to incorporate the seals. Instead I'm trying to figure out some sort of image to either stamp or print on a square piece of paper to hold it shut instead of a monogram. I've been scouring the web for some cherry blossom flower stamps that come close to my design or try to figure out how to either order my own stamp or create my own from scratch. As of now there hasn't been much progress but something will be figured out eventually.
