Travel style invitation

When I saw this stunning invitation on Etsy, I got so excited and felt I just had to share it with our readers. Though it's a designer in the USA that created it, I'm sure it we can do something similar with our own unique Elsje Designs take on it. We admire such clever and fresh concepts in invitations!!

The designer writes: This invitation is styled after a vintage map, with your names, wording, and a little X over where you are getting married. The map will fold up and fit into a square 6x6 envelope, complete with a tag and baker's twine holding it all in place. You can choose any map you like, whether it's a specific state or another country, just ask!

Extended Winter Warmer Freebie!!

We have decided to extend our special on our handpicked range of designer Save the Dates. This winter warmer is just in time for all the year end weddings! Please contact us for more information.

Since the 1930's movie Water for Elephants, was such a visual inspiration, we decided it must be one of our themes for the Save the Date catalogue. I predict that this theme will be a very popular style for decor and stationery in the coming season.

And finally, its always nice to end off with a love quote...

Welcome to our new studio manager!

Happy days are here again, the lovely Vinette has joined our team on the 1st of June. She spent the last almost 3 years working as the Functions Co-ordinator at the Two Oceans Aquarium. We received about 700 CV's (crazy). Vinette stood out, as she has been an avid admirer of Elsje Designs for sometime, so it was essentially her dream to be part of our family! Also her vibey and organized energy is contageous. Welcome Vinette, I hope you would feel loved and appreciated in our close knit family.
