Speaking of cousins... I once took a trip out to NYC with one of my real cousins in 2008. He ended up flying out there before me. As I waited in the Long Beach Airport terminal all by my lonesome, I noticed a girl & a guy that I had recognized. HaaaZaaaa.... it was Gigi & Ryan waiting to board the same flight to NYC. What.A.CowinkyDink! What are the chances that I would be on the same flight to NYC with this wonderful & oh-so-cute couple. Sadly, I still sat by myself. I had finally met up with my cousin & visited my best friend who lives there. We all met up with Gigi & Ryan for some drinks during there stay. But how is this for crazy..... My trip to NYC was kind of a weird 4 day 3 night stay like in the middle of the week AND guess whose was too!!!! Gigi & Ryan of course! We were on the same flight back. CRAZY right!?!?!
Gigi & Ryan have been the coolest clients to work with. They are so hip & trendy. I totally dig their style. I was so excited to hear the news that these 2 love birds were engaged through Facebook. It was through this social network site that I had complimented her on her UHH-Mazing food truck The Buttermilk Truck. The food truck was in my area & I was jazzed to go with my husband, who was less jazzed, to go stand in line in the rain & try her food, along with saying hello to an old friend. On Facebook, I wrote on her wall saying how much I enjoyed her red velvet chocolate stuffed pancakes AND a huge Congrats on their engagement. Well it was that comment that has brought us to this post.
Gigi, Ryan, & I collaborated on their Save-the-Date design. They wanted a modern, contemporary, hip, clean, no fuss kind of design for their Save-the-Dates. We went with a postcard design, with a bold number "2" on the front. For their wedding stationery, they liked to stay with a basic monochromatic palette, dark gray & white. I LOVE their choice in design & simple creativity.
For the back side of the post card, we also made it really simple & clear for guests to get the info to Save-the-Date for their upcoming wedding in September.
And just because I like to help promote my friends & their businesses, please come out to My Delight Cupcakery in Ontario, this Saturday from 12pm-4:30pm & enjoy some cupcakes & fresh cooked yummies from The Buttermilk Truck & other delish food trucks as well. For more info, follow them on twitter or "like" their Facebook pages.
Stay tuned for a later post of their OH-EMM-GEE, I cannot wait for, invitation designs. I'm so thrilled to be designing these beautiful pieces of art.
