Wedding Invitation Card Designs

These wedding card designs are arranged chronologically from the most recent to past studies. Please click on a design for a larger view.

Final Designs

Front Cover: The cover card, made by the old card company Tribell, long known before the inkjet printers came for their engraved wedding invitation cards, is folded in such a way that both side ends meet and interlock at the center. We managed to print some text over the engraved areas with a heavy-duty inkjet printer.

Cover Card, Inside: To save further on paper, the list of entourage members is now directly printed on the inner side of the Tribell folded card. As commonly practiced in the Philippines, some verses about love are written on the inner flaps at the left and right. Photos of the bride and groom have been added later.

Invitation Letter: The invitation letter is placed on a separate leaf with its upper edge pasted on the corresponding upper edge inside the Tribell folded card.

List of Entourage Members: The list of entourage members first came as a separate leaf but later printed directly on the cover card.

RSVP Card: We've included an R.S.V.P. [Abbreviation of French répondez s'il vous plaît, meaning "please respond"] card, about twice the size of a call card, and inserted it in the envelope, over the Tribell folded card.

Envelope: This is just a plain white envelope that comes with the Tribell folded card. The decorative design was printed along with the names and addresses.

Preliminary Design Studies

Invitation Leaf

Invitation Letter, Design 3 - Doves: The two-dove logo is returned.

Wedding Invitation Letter, Design 2a - Rings 2 with Borders: Border is introduced into the layout which adds some sophistication and conservativity.

Wedding Invitation Letter, Design 2 - Rings 2: The joined rings motiff in this layout have entirely replaced the two-doves logo. That is the reason this design was rejected.

Wedding Invitation Letter, Design 1 - Rings I: The joined rings design was generated from 3d software. It was rejected due to its over-familiarity. It also competes with the logo. It could have been developed to have our names engraved at the sides which would require a blown up composition for them to be readable. There was little time to go down that experimental path.

List of Entourage Members

List of Entourage Members, Design 3 - Ivy Leaves: Instead of the logo, the rejected ivy leaves design is recycled and used at the top left corner. This design was rejected for its cluttered layout and inconsistency of design motiff.

List of Entourage Members, Design 2 - Doves at the Side: The logo is placed at top left corner. This design was rejected for over-simplicity.

List of Entourage Members, Design 1 - Doves Up: The logo is placed at top center. This design was rejected for over-simplicity.

List of Holy Mass Participants

List of Holy Mass Participants: The list of Liturgy Readers and Offerers was done away with as this will pose problems later if the people involved are left unconfirmed or needs to be replaced. We also have to save on specialty paper and printing costs.

Envelope

Design 2b 2: Doves with Ribbon: This became our official logo, approved at a time when gold instead of green was the decided color motiff. The ribbons bear a lot of curves which we perceive as elegant. The two-dove motiff has survived the design process and is now golden.

Design 02a: 2 Doves Inside Heart: Strips of green ribbons form a heart frame. This looks too much like the Selecta ice cream logo but the strong reason for its rejection is its over-simplicity.

Design 01: Ivy Leaves: The ivy leaf used in this first design, besides being decorative, is a connotation of Ivy's name. It was rejected due to its unconventional use in wedding design.
