One of our brides recently submitted these photos from her Santa Barbara wedding that were featured on this week’s Style Me Pretty! We were excited to work on a variety of items for this wedding - escort cards, placecards, maps, totes and favor boxes.

We often talk about maps being used as save-the-date cards and part of welcome gift bags, but another very popular use for maps is as itineraries.

Here you can see this adorable Philadelphia map, of course showing all of the couple’s important places of interest (the church, their favorite Philly cheesesteak locale {yummy!}, the Liberty Bell) but it also features the “Weekend Activities” on the reverse side.

One of our recent clients loved the idea of a Save-the-Date map, but wanted to do something different and more “emotional.” We came up with the idea of a “life map” and the result was fantastic! You can see both the bride and groom’s journeys growing up until they met in June of 2006. The map continues to their engagement and, ultimately, their 2009 wedding. It really is a great idea to showcase their most important accomplishments both as individuals as well as a couple. We were even able to incorporate interests and things they enjoy - such as oatmeal for the both of them! In addition to the adorable map, we are also creating custom Zazzle stamps with the icon of the campfire where they met!

Take a look at this amazing letter press invitation suite by Nessa Sander of Cardgirl. The bride and groom ordered their invitations, reply cards, itinerary with map on the reverse side, welcome cards for their welcome packages, escort cards and even personalized notecards for their thank yous - all in warm shades of brown and sepia. The “outdoorsy” look is exemplified through not only the custom invitation design, but also the shimmery brown envelopes and calligraphy in two different shades.

We’ve worked with two separate couples that have gotten married on Isla Mujeres, a small island off the coast of Mexico. We did a complete matching set for this couple including thank you cards with the adorable hotel icon that was threaded throughout their printed materials. They really made use of their map design, since once we had it all set they incorporated the icons into every aspect of their wedding, starting from the save the dates, all the way to the rehearsal dinner and wedding reception.

The escort cards looked so sweet as did the table signs (which used icons, instead of numbers). Being a destination wedding, they included a weekend itinerary on the reverse side of their map (I just love all the tropical icons!), and also had a welcome bag for their guests featuring the monogram that we created for them. You can also see that they used their monogram for personalized stamps on their wedding invitations - it was a great way to tie everything together and use small touches to make their day special!

Last month, we received these pictures from a bride in St. Petersburg, Florida. The bride was stunning on her big day, and the ceremony and reception were a wonderful celebration for the happy couple and their guests. The colors were green, blue and white, which were threaded throughout the event. While the bridesmaids wore blue, the florals were lovely arrangements of green and white.

A happy couple recently asked us to create the save the date for their Miami, Florida wedding. They wanted to share the places close to their hearts with their future wedding guests. You can see that they point out where they met (Islamorada) and also where they each grew up. It’s a great way to let your guests know why the area is special to you!

Representing Florida, this whimsical map is filled with manatees, Florida Gators, fish, sailboats, shopping and golf. It also includes architectural hotspots Vizcaya Museum and Gardens and the Freedom Tower. We even included a seashell as the compass!

How could I resist posting this map for a wedding in Islesboro Maine? It was a destination wedding for my lovely client Gina and her fiance Christopher, that took place on this small island off the coast of mainland Maine.  It’s a land of lobsters and fishermen, and the map displays it all. The gals got beautified at the Cutting Edge Salon while the men sailed around Penobscot Bay on the Schooner Olan, depicted in Camden Harbor.

Since the wedding took place over 4th of July weekend, how could the map be complete without a display of fireworks? This couture designer map is the perfect addition to an invitation set or a welcome basket!

A great map for a wedding last year in Oahu, calligraphy in upright script. It details locations important to the bride and groom, plus offers suggestions on the island’s popular tourist attractions. If you are interested in these adorable maps as postcard save the dates, traditional save the dates, invitation enclosures or for your welcome baskets please contact me for pricing. I also had someone request the maps to be printed in one color on their cocktail napkins! How cute would that be?

Here is a little sampling of some hand drawn maps we have done. I always love the map card. I think it adds such a nice visual element to the invitation suite. It’s also a chance to include fun locations, or alternate places for your guests to visit. Hope you enjoy!
