Told as a story across the front of six cards, the invitation was intended to serve as the ultimate heirloom of the occasion, one in which all participants could share.

The cards were printed at Evolution Press in Seattle. The envelope was printed at Secord Printing in Kirkland.

A mix of well printed materials and personal handicrafts made this an invitation to remember.

The RSVP required detaching the back of the card “foldover” and dropping it in the post. This gave me an early lesson in heirloom design: people don’t like destroying the neat things you send them.
