“To personalize your wedding invitation, I like to start with the ambiance of your venue,” says Bunny Shestack of Invite & Write. “If it’s an old church or a Victorian mansion, we can use that theme as an overall look, or you can carry a certain color scheme throughout, which can be achieved through the color of your type, papers, and linings, and then carried through all your printed matter and into your wedding itself.”

Dubai, Nigeria, and a U.S. National Park ... Bunny recently did a wedding overseas. “It was a five-day wedding party in Dubai, with three more days of celebrations in Karachi, Pakistan.” In keeping with the look of the Middle East, which was very elaborate but elegant, the invitations were printed on pearl stock with shimmering gold ink.

“Each day there was another event, with its own separate invitation, and all were included in a beautiful plum-colored damask outer folder tied with a plum satin ribbon. The occasion cards were also printed on pearl paper with plum or gold ink, and the colors throughout the wedding were plum, gold, and pearl.”

A few years ago, she did the wedding invitation for the son of Nigeria’s president. “Their tradition was to have a big engagement party the day before the ceremony, and I did invitations for each day for 4,000 invited guests!” They had a simple invitation on ivory pearl paper. It came in a little jacket with an ivory pearl heart on the cover.

Bunny recently worked with a bride who had a very small wedding, with just 25 to 30 couples, and took everyone to a wonderful estate ranch within a national park. “So I made the invitation itself very woodsy, with colors of rust and brown. We also used a heavy textured stock, and then tied it all together with satin ribbons of rust and dark brown.”

Invitations To Treasure ... Currently she is working on an invitation for a bride whose family is from Hawaii. “Though a number of her family members cannot attend, the groom wants them to feel they are receiving a treasure when the invitation arrives. So they’re doing a letterpress invitation in shades of periwinkle blue and beige on an off-white stock, with a coordinated Florentine-lined envelope.”

Before starting her company, Bunny designed and produced fine art catalogues and invitations for the famed Pace Gallery, Museum of Modern Art, the Whitney Museum, the Guggenheim Museum, and more. “I met a lot of people who were having an extraordinary affair. They wanted to set the pace with an extraordinary invitation, of the type that the museums were producing, say, for the opening of a Picasso exhibit, which I had done.”

Touching Moments ... “A happy bride is my best reward,” says Bunny. “When she picks up her invitation and hugs me and says, ‘Thank you,’ it’s a wonderful feeling! Many send me photos from their weddings, and then invite me to baby events and Christmas dinners. Some brides send me pictures of their families through the years. It’s very rewarding.”
