All this yucky winter weather has really got me longing to be somewhere warm. With sand. And a drink. That comes with an umbrella. Which reminds me that one of my best friends is getting married in Key West in April and not only am I going - but I designed the wedding invitations (duh!)
Lyndsey and Brain wanted something original, bright and fun - while also expressing the whole traveling-to-Key-West thing (which is the BEST part!) So, I decided to use a silhouette of the Florida Keys juxtaposed with a colorful, tropical pattern and accented with other beachy elements (sanddollars, starfish, seahorses, etc.) To keep the whole travel concept going, I used a long and skinny layout with a perforated reply card - so it functions like an airplane ticket! Super fun! I also carried the beachy elements throughout accompanying materials sent with the invite.
I can't mention destination weddings without mentioning my Vintage Postcard Save the Date. I love seeing all of the different places where my clients are getting married!
And I've even taken the design international!
You can even show off your state pride with my State Pride Save the Dates!
Destination wedding doesn't have to mean beach wedding. I have done PLENTY of invitations that just highlight the bride or groom's hometown.
And don't forget about fun bachelorette trips!
This couple wanted to highlight the bride's hometown of Pittsburgh (a lot of guests were traveling from the South)
This couple was having their reception on a evening cruise ship that sailed around Washington DC.
Ah, and we are back to the beach! This couple wanted a fun beachy feel but didn't necessarily want to showcase their specific location. I love the square shape and rounded corners and the bride really spiced it up by using 3 different, awesomely bright colored envelopes.
Now I am DEFINITELY ready to go to get my beach on! Too bad my trip is not for a couple of months... sigh...
Book plates are sold in batches of 16 (4 of each design) and are available on my Etsy site! Be sure to check them out!
And, congratulations to Theogeo for winning last Friday's giveaway! Please contact me (info@jpressdesigns.com) with your info so I can get your Swatch Numbers Print out to you! 
Adorable, right?!? I have decided to exploit my new found talent and sell them on my Etsy Shop. They are so cute for kids (above), and not bad for adults either (below).
Use them for your Save the Dates and incorporate them throughout your wedding.
I am uploading them to my Etsy Shop soon - until then just contact me directly if you are interested in having your own custom silhouette created! Also - I am having a giveaway this Friday and I bet you'll never guess what it is...

Up next, we have my Western Inspired Save the Date. I love the mix of fonts and the juxtaposition of the rustic type and the swirlie design. 
Now we come to my Rustic Plaid Save the Date. I love the rounded corners and the simple yet charming design. 
And last but not least we have my Citrus Shower invitation. Perfect for a brunch or a summertime get together!
And all of these hot-n-fresh designs are available on my Etsy Shop - check 'em out here!
Shady Nasty in the hizzy! (Long story - and it happened way before "Always Sunny" did it...) We ordered more hoodies as well...
And these babies are flying off the shelf! They are printed on American Apparel Organic cloth so they are super soft and luxurious (and green to boot! ) If you are interested in purchasing, just let me know and I'll be in touch!
