As many of you know, I've been designing my son's Bar Mitzvah invitations for a while. I've asked several of my fellow stationery friends and the census seems to hold true for all of them: Designing for your own event is significantly more difficult than designing for someone else's event! It seemed to take me a really, really long time to pull all this together, but I'm thrilled with the outcome.
When starting the process of designing the invitation suite, I consulted the Bar Mitzvah boy himself. After discussing possible color combinations we decided on colors found on a walk in the forest. Jacob loves to hike and mountain bike. He's also very environmentally conscious, so a "theme" centering around nature is fitting. So without further adieu I give you Jacob's forest inspired Bar Mitzvah invitation suite.
The suite features shades of mossy greens and charcoal. I hand drew Jacob's Hebrew name. Jacob told me that it is his favorite part of the entire set. Included in the square envelope is the invitation which is backed with a 120 lb. onyx pearly cardstock, the reply card with stamped envelope, directions to the synagogue and "after party" invitations individually addressed to each of Jacob's friends.
Stay tuned for photos of the party! And keep your fingers crossed for lovely weather, please.
