A "Wonderful Life" Party

I love, LOVE it when my clients send me their invitations. It is just so fun receiving them and seeing what all the guests have received in anticipation of their big day. Plus, I can incorporate that into their photography as well, as explained here.

Yesterday, I got the invitation for Silva and Felipe's reception in the mail. I thought it was so clever that I had to share it.
Silva and Felipe are already married, but they are having a reception in Madison in July with family and friends at the Orpheum Theater. So it is very fitting that they have chosen to use the "It's a Wonderful Life" idea for the occasion. And they used a postcard of the Orpheum's marquee for their rsvp card. I just love it. It fits the event, the venue and their attitudes perfectly.
I have to say though that I would be sad to part with such a nice rsvp card - I wonder if that was an issue for their guests as well.
Needless to say, I'm really looking forward to shooting their party.

Silva and Felipe got their custom cards from moo.com, though it looks like they designed them themselves. The back of their card has a small sticker of the original poster. Moo has tons of fun prodcuts, including those stickers and one day I will find a use for their mini-cards if for no other reason than they come in a fun box.
