If script fonts on wedding invitations generally make your stomach turn, this invite layout should provide some typographic Alka-Seltzer. That’s what happens when a great interactive designer gets married. Designed by the groom himself, Jamey Erickson principal over at Sevnthsin in Minneapolis created his invites with a simple and bold typographic layout. Check out some Sevnthsin interactive work here. (They did this great website recently for P.O.S.)
The column layout using justified type accents information and creates heirarchy in a way unique to wedding invitations. The invite set was letterpress printed in our studio with black and silver ink on a single press sheet to keep costs reasonable. (just the little dotted lines of hearts are in silver) The whole invitation set uses Crane Lettra 110lb Pearl White cotton paper stock with matching envelopes. The program card was printed separately closer to the wedding date. It is a very long and narrow card format with printing on each side to handle all the program information. All in all, simple type, done up proper.

I have always wanted to design a wedding invite in sans-serif, this looks so hot.
Love it, love it, love it.
I love it so much!!!
Very cool.
It looks really fantastic, especially when you compare it to the standard twee invitations you see every time. My only problem is with the ‘J’ in ‘Jamey’. If text is justified, make it all the same. Why does the J stick out?
I have to say though, it is a small problem and I really love the overall look and feel. They would have been wasted on my family!
I absolutely love these, elegant layout with a not so elegant font, still gorgeous!
Agreed on the J, I can see that it’s lined up with the stem in the K, but still stands out as strange.
Anyone else notice the parents are Jim and Pam? Office fans? Anyone??
I would slag on Bryant. It’s a nice typeface that is cheery and fun to work with. The idea that weddings need scripty type is for sorority girls that watch Gossip Girl. I hope that in the future I could convince a girl to just have RSVP, DIRECTIONS, etc… in Helvetica Bold. That would make my heart melt. haha
I meant wouldn’t. Sorry
