classic handmade bicycle anniversary invitations

I recently had the pleasure of creating some save-the-dates for a 50th anniversary party happening this summer in upstate New York.  Inspired by a photo from Anne & John Fay’s 1963 wedding in County Kildare, Ireland I designed the piece to take a page from a photo album of yesteryear.  Using a whimsical font, black and white photo prints, photo corners and luxurious letterpress we certainly set the mood for what will be quite the celebration.  A #10, fig, paper source envelope and wraparound mailing labels completed the package.  The Fay’s have been known to tool around town on their bicycle built for two and have enjoyed a bit of notoriety for it, so we paid a little homage to this most amazing pastime.  Hope you like them as much as I do!

The Fay’s celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary in upstate New York at the end of July.  Here’s how the rest of the invitation suite turned out.  Mighty fine, I’d say!
