Safari At The Zoo Passport Invitation

To celebrate a 5th birthday, at the Detroit Zoological Society, Metro Luxe Events Candice Vallone wanted to capture the true spirit of the day in the invitation.

Calling on the talents of Celeste Simpson of Impress Me Designs, a day at the Zoo Safari Passport invitation was the perfect mix of message and motivation to attend.

The Safari Zoo Passport Invitation by Impress Me Designs developed into a 6 page booklet bound in natural raffia with an outside cover made from cream heavy canvas.

The inside of the passport booklet was printed on a natural desert colored paper and the corners of each page were individually rounded. To give the look and feel of a true passport. Impress Me Designs used natural elements and earth tone colors to mimic the feel and textures one might find on safari in Africa.

Each animal was accentuated by matching "flocked" papers outlining the borders of each page with patterns representative of the Zebra, Giraffe and Cheetah. Texture was an important element designed to bring each animal to life. The animals and details were printed in a dramatic black to jump out at you.

To bring more interest to the background, different passport destination stamps were subtly watermarked into the paper. No detail was overlooked. Even the return address had a rhinoceros making an appearance. The envelope was sent with a custom postage stamp designed to compliment the safari theme.

Luxurious Wedding Recommends... For your Safari theme event use a creative Safari Invitation designed to explore all the possibilities your guests will encounter. For more creative invitation ideas view all our Luxurious Wedding Invitation Designers

On the left...A hand painted and hand lettered seating chart from Jan Boyd. In the center, Angela Welch of Pen and Pauper designed the monogram. Then the bride made custom cuff links for the groom.

Photobooths Are Essential For Chic Weddings Because You Leave On Your Honeymoon With An Album Of Memories

Your wedding is formal. Your wedding is over the top. What could possibly be missing? Maybe nothing if you have included a Photobooth!
We love Photobooths. They are fun. They are interactive. They are conversation makers. They mix it up. They give the guests something to do and they create excitement. Kick the festivities off at the cocktail hour by unveiling the Photobooth. What a great ice breaker while your guests mix and mingle waiting for your arrival. A Photobooth creates a joyous atmosphere because a Photobooth is the essence of fun. It brings out the child in everyone, not to mention the romance. These are the pictures your wedding photojournalist will never capture, and the pictures you don't want to miss. From the bridesmaids squishing themselves into the booth to a quiet moment together for the bride and groom, these uncensored images tell a 'behind the scenes' story that will keep you laughing and amused long after the wedding. One of our favorites is NYC Photobooth who covers the Eastern seaboard with this delightful addition to your wedding and other festivities. And the best surprise of all is that you get to leave on your honeymoon with pictures from your wedding! A big hooray to NYC Photobooth and thanks for such a great idea!
