This amazing wedding invitation was designed by husband & wife, Christine and Ian of Wood & Grain. The couple decided to design and fabricate the invitations themselves, opening up customization possibilities that, if printed professionally, would have been near impossible.
They employed their trusty ink-jet printer, a laser cutter at a local TechShop, and a whole bunch of patience to product what is one of the most stunning invitation packages I’ve seen in quite some time.
They also found the time to do a complete write-up on the process and materials they used so be sure to check out the Wood & Grain Blog for all the details.
