I love Lucy (well, Jess) shower invitations

Another fun project... this shower invitation idea come right from a customer.

They are throwing an I Love Lucy themed bridal shower for the bride, and wanted appropriate shower invitations.  This means... polka dots and a red heart!

They decided on navy (dark) blue for the border color.  Inside of "I love Lucy", it's "We Love Jess".



The card is about 4.5x6 inches, folded, and has printing on the inside as well.  The customer came up with poetic wording about how Jess could use some recipes for the upper-inside panel.  A recipe card is held inside the lower panel of the card via two angled slits.  The recipe card is about 3.5x5 inches, and guest's will mail them back with a written recipe using another small (included with the mailing) envelope.

For those interested in getting their own set of these: (as of 2016) pricing is around $2.50-$3.00 each, minimum of 20.  Envelopes included.

And you can also get these without the recipe cards.  Or maybe you could get color envelopes!  At STDO, it's all custom made by a person, so you don't have to stick with exactly the original idea.

You could switch to a flat card instead, with printing just on the front:
Pricing for the flat version (as of 2016) is around $1.50-$2.00 each, minimum of 30.  Envelopes included.
