This is a concept project for Cards designed for a wedding. The style is elegant and sleek with a unifying Typography choice present throughout out the designs.
The Wedding invitation itself is the first attention grabber, with the happy couple in the prominent center and a welcoming type choice that gives a level of elegance to the card.
With the save the date card, more emphasis is placed on strong type choices which are indicated by the most prominent point in "save the date" and next by which date should be saved.
Similar to the save the date the R.S.V.P is also a notice first and foremost with the most important point of the text becoming the center of attention followed by some text and checkboxes.
The thank you card is the last piece the invited receive so I wanted to place the most emphasis on a photo taken during the wedding as a keepsake for those that attended.
