Jitney's Journeys : Original Handlettering for Wedding Envelopes

Remember those lovely burlap centerpieces I made for Ashley, one of our Etsy clients? Well, after she received the package, she sent me an email kindly asking if I would be interested in addressing the envelopes for the Aguiar wedding. 

You better believe I responded with a resounding "YES!" From what she's told me, she and her fiancee love the outdoors and their decor will feature beautiful autumn elements (I don't want to ruin the decor surprises for her guests!). The wedding will be held at a charming, rustic lodge in a local state park (one of their favorite hangouts). With all of the inspiration she gave me, it was easy to come up with a quite a few options for address formats. After much deliberation, this was the design she decided on... 

Jitney Annual Soundtrack Release!! Three Lucky Winners Will Receive a Copy!

Last week, we FINALLY sent out our annual Jitney Soundtrack. Wondering what it is? Check it out

here

.

Our theme for designing the CD cover was

Air Mail

. We designed the cover so that it had postage and passport stamp images from all of our travel destinations throughout our two years of marriage (including Barbados, Bahamas, Hawaii, Israel, Germany, France, Austria and Switzerland). 

*Please note that we have blurred / erased some parts of the photo to protect the names and addresses of friends. No worries, we created a super cool, fake address for our CD so you could get the feel of it:

Who wouldn't want to live on 1000 Kisses Avenue with her husband?!?

For the envelopes, we used these from

The Container Store

. Aren't they just marvelous?!

I used Faber Castell PITT Artist Pens to write the addresses (specifically the M, F, S, and 1,5 tips). These are, HANDS DOWN, my most favorite pens to use. And trust me... I have tested out a plethora of pens and markers!! Check the artist pens out

{If you're looking for a less expensive marker / pen, I also love

Paper Mate's Flair Felt Tip Pen
