Say What Now?!!! More Great Feedback from our Absolutely Awesome Clients!

This would have been the best decision I would have made. If I had to do it all over again, I would not change a thing!!!!!!!! Kelli A.

Absolutely Inviting is Absolutely Amazing! From my initial meeting with the team I knew that I would be pleased with the quality of work and professionalism of the process. The service that I received exceeded my expectations. Absolutely Inviting provided the entire stationery for my wedding including invitations, programs, escort cards, menu cards and signs. They were patient and provided a timeline that kept me from feeling overwhelmed. When I called the night before the wedding to say that I needed additional signage they happily came to my rescue! The feedback from my guests about my stationery was great and I would recommend Absolutely Inviting without reservation. In pricing stationery I am confident that I got value for my money spent and they were willing to work within my budget. They exhibit the ideal of "No Job is to Big or Too Small". Absolutely Inviting was our favorite vendor and they helped to make our day beautiful and memorable. - Christy B.

"Falling" in love :)

We met this bride a few months ago when she contacted us after seeing the stationery we did for the wedding of a relative.  The couple tied the knot in early November.  Absolutely Inviting created ceremony programs, menu cards, table numbers, and a seating chart for the fabulous event in a colour scheme of gold and orange (very fitting for the fall).  Enjoy this quick pic of some of the stationery from the event!

Purple Passion...

Over the past few months, it seems as though the vast majority of our clients selected purple as the main color for their weddings, with gray/silver being a top pick for accent colors!  We are sharing a few of the pieces we did for a recent wedding...thanks to one of the guests who shared the photo of the wedding program we did.  We love seeing our stationery in action!

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!

What our clients are saying!

Sorry we have not been able to update our blog as frequently as we would like, but we have been very busy moving into our new location; however, we thought we would share what some of Absolutely Inviting's clients have been saying:

"Thanks Dameeka. Absolutely Inviting did an AWESOME job on our wedding programmes!! We couldn't 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!!!!" Tremaine & Elwood Harvey  (Wedding December 2011 in Orlando, Florida)  - See highlights from their wedding HERE!

"Good Morning Absolutely Inviting, I am writing to thank you for the invitations. I knew that your work and skill was untouched and mastered; but now that I have your actual product in my possession, I can truly say that your work reflects everything that you say about your company.
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.  Thank you so much!" Kelli & Steffan Adderley (Wedding July 2011 in Nassau, Bahamas - See highlights from their wedding HERE)

"Our June 11, 2011 Wedding has gone international....as it has been featured here on the Absolutely Inviting Blog site - it was recently selected by designer Dameeka Roberts of Nassau, Bahamas.

Our New Home: Absolutely Inviting - "The Boutique"!

Wedding Feature: Tremmaine & Elwood - "It's all in the details"

As we mentioned in our last wedding feature, we absolutely LOVE when we have an opportunity to showcase our work beyond the borders of the Bahamas. We were once again given the opportunity to provide the stationery for an international wedding when we were contacted by the bride Tremmaine, attorney and owner of Tremm Jocale - a jewelry and accessory business based in the Turks and Caicos- about her upcoming Orlando, FL wedding to Elwood, a network and systems analyst.

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

As promised in our recent blog post on Pantone's Color of the Year 2012, here is an invitation mock up we did using "Tangerine Tango". This color can be paired with muted/neutral colors such as Blacks, Browns, Creams, Grays etc. for a bold yet classic look (typical of winter and fall weddings), or it can be paired with festive colors such as Greens, Yellows, and Pinks for a fun and flirty look (think spring and summer weddings)!

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

Last year, we featured the Pantone color of the year which was honeysuckle shown below:

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!


Next month we will be featuring an international wedding we did in December using both of these colors. Until then stay tuned for a "tangerine tango" invitation sample we did ...we will be sharing it VERY SOON!

Wedding Feature: Absolutely International - Lakeisha & Vincent

We absolutely LOVE when we have an opportunity to showcase our work beyond the borders of the Bahamas! Our last wedding for 2011 was held in Orlando, Florida, and we are so excited that our most recent booking is for yet another international wedding! For this reason, we thought it fitting that our first blog post for the year feature an international wedding.

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:

Congrats to a beautiful couple!
