New double-happiness card

The double-happiness motif we created last winter for Michelle and Joe’s wedding invitations turned out so great, I’ve been jonesing for another opportunity to use it. Which brings us to this addition to our wholesale line of greeting cards, the new double-happiness wedding card. This traditional Chinese symbol is letterpress-printed in red ink on a natural white 88# wove-finish card, which folds to 5.5×4.25 inches to fit into a vibrant red envelope. Right now, the card is for sale exclusively at the Lunalux studio store for $4. Later this year, when we get our act together and assemble updated sample decks for our sales reps, the card should start showing up in other stores too.

Design + Print: double happiness invitations

We originally worked with Michelle and Joe last fall, on invitations for their destination wedding in Mexico. Once those were in the mail, they returned to Lunalux for invitations to their wedding reception in Minneapolis. Michelle wanted the reception invites to be totally different from the ceremony invitations (except for the metallic papers – we kept that element), and was considering a few different directions: double happiness? a lovely floral motif? something really traditional and classic? After exploring her ideas, we settled on the double happiness theme, which tied into both her cultural heritage and the decor for the reception.

As with all of our wedding stationery, we tailored this invitation package to Michelle and Joe’s specific needs and style. We created two separate invitations: one for the bulk of the guests who were invited to the reception, and another for the closest family & friends, who were also invited to an intimate dinner before hand. We also created an RSVP postcard and a hotel information card to accompany the invitations. Each piece was letterpress-printed on warm white metallic cover stock. The invitations were mounted on a 5.5-inch square metallic gold card, and the whole shebang was enclosed in a square red metallic envelope.
