Introducing Pantone's 2013 Color of the Year...
Yesterday, we shared Pantone's Spring 2013 Color Report on our Facebook Page HERE, but today we share that Pantone's has selected Emerald as its Color of the Year 2013! Described as "a color of elegance and beauty that enhances our sense of well-being, balance and harmony", we wonder if this color will emerge as a top choice for weddings in the Bahamas!
"Lively. Radiant. Lush… A color of elegance and beauty
that enhances our sense of well-being, balance and harmony."
Check out Pantone's website HERE for more on this color.

Quick Share: Christy & Marc - July 2012
We just thought that we should quickly share some of the stationery from our clients' July wedding. This wedding was branded with the couple's customized logo/monogram starting with the wedding invitations straight through to the bridal shower invitations, wedding programs, menu cards, table numbers, candy bar signs, escort cards, and other event signage....the epitome of event branding! We cannot wait to see the professional photos from their gorgeous event!

Wedding Feature: Tremmaine & Elwood - "It's all in the details"
After one telephone conversation and a few e-mail and instant messages, during which the bride advised that she wanted hanging programs which incorporated the colors fuchsia and orange, we created a design which was classic and clean yet bold and youthful.
Here’s what the bride had to say:
“Absolutely Inviting did an AWESOME job on our wedding programmes!! We couldnt have done a better job on the monogram which we will continue to use! The programmes were absolutely stunning and you made our vision a reality! We will definitely be recommending you to others!! Absolutely inviting rocks!!!!”
The ceremony programs were ivory and incorporated the colors of fuchsia and orange in the monogram element and the ribbon. We also created seat signs for the bride and groom, table numbers, and place cards where the couple included hand written notes/keepsakes for the guests.
We loved the décor; it was absolutely breath taking. With this wedding it was definitely “all in the details”. See below for a sneak peek into their event:

"Tangerine Tango" Inspired Invitation by Absolutely Inviting
For our sample, we decided to do a three layered square invite with a simple damask inspired graphic. Because we know how hard it is sometimes to visualize your completed invitation, when you order your invitations at Absolutely Inviting, you can receive a 'true to life' digital proof like this one prior to us finalizing a design for your invitation mock up!

Quick Share: Pantone Color of the Year 2012


This year, we are delighted to see the bold and vibrant color "Tangerine Tango" as Pantone's 2012 Color of the Year. We have already seen this emerging as a popular color in some of the weddings we did in the latter part of 2011. The future looks extremely bright for this color!


Wedding Feature: Absolutely International - Lakeisha & Vincent
When it comes to dealing with potential vendors for any event, reliability/dependability is a crucial deciding factor. Imagine then having to deal with a vendor, that you have never met face to face...who as a matter of fact was located in a totally different country...yet you had to depend on them to deliver a crucial component of your dream wedding.
Well this was the case with the bride Lakeisha, who decided to entrust Absolutely Inviting with the creation of the ceremony programs for their beautiful wedding in Grand Turk, Turks & Caicos Islands after we were recommended by a family member. Lakeisha was then able to view some of our work on our blog, along with the testimonials from some of our clients, and at the end was beyond pleased with the service and product she received.
The ceremony programs incorporated the colors of fuchsia and lagoon (aqua). We created a tea length booklet using metallic papers held together by a flat tied ribbon.
Here is some of the feedback we received on the programs:
"Wow! Simply fabulous and elegant" LGW
"Your work was flawless, beautiful and definitely a crowd pleaser in Turks Island - keep doing the awesome job you are capable of" LD
We love how the colors were incorporated in every detail of the wedding and we loved seeing the programs in action at the ceremony! See below for a sneak peek into their event:

Event Tip: Table Cards: Names v. Numbers



We can all agree that assigned seating has many benefits including the quick seating of guests, and ensuring that your invited guests are seated in the event that uninvited persons show up to your function. In our opinion, assignments are a must have at larger weddings/dinners. Some people opt to assign tables and allow guests to determine their seat at a particular table, while some people opt to assign specific seats (this is where our place cards come into play).
A table card is a necessary tool for events where there is assigned seating. After you have already advised your guests of the table where they will be seated (using a customized Seating Chart from Absolutely Inviting of course :) you will need to clearly identify each table. This is where the table card comes in.
For table cards you can keep it traditional and use numbers, or you can get creative and "name" your tables (some of our table numbers have combined numbers with names also). The name option is excellent as it eliminates any perception of hierarchy such as being placed at table 20 when other colleagues are placed at table 8...The main reason we prefer table names is that it allows the couple/host of an event to express their personality, or to execute the theme. Here are some suggestions for table names:
- Having a beach themed wedding? Why not use names of your favorite beaches? or sealife - think seahorse/starfish etc.
- If you attended the same college you can use the names of various dorms/buildings etc.
- You can use places you have been as a couple or would like to visit
- Names of flowers
- Movies if you are movie buffs
- Songs if you are a walking jukebox :)
- Sports teams
- and this list can go on and on..

Wedding Feature: An Absolutely Plush Event!

The suite used the base colors of cream and tan with coral to add pops of color. Metallics, Patterns, Transparent Papers, and Lush Ribbons were combined to make an Absolutely Plush set. The detail at this event was simply astounding - from the decor, to the amazing groom's cake which symbolized the groom's love for his fraternity, to the candy bar where guests were provided with bags with customized labels to fill up with their favorite candy.
When we first met, I gave you my ideas and you listened to each detail. But better still, you brought that detail to life in your work. You gave me exactly what I asked for and more. I can see and have great appreciation for every hand-crafted detail that was placed into the invitations; each lined and sealed to perfection.
Thank you, Absolutely Inviting. You are and continue to be a great force within the local stationery industry; but I am sure that that greatness lies ahead for you above and beyond the local industry. Your work continues to speak for itself.

We thought we would share!
Now we all take inspiration from somewhere (for example the pocketfold style invitation started in one place, but now they are found at just about every major paper retailer and used by a vast majority of invitation designers!); however, your designer/planner should be able to make it all about YOU. At the end of the day, anyone can try to copy a design, but what about the ability to customize and translate the customer's vision into a final product? What about the quality of the work? What about the professionalism and ability to deliver? This is what Absolutely Inviting is all about!
We thought that we would share this very interesting article by Preston Bailey. Click HERE & Enjoy!
