Lest tEats Unis
by Malina Trading design with textured header and blendable monochromatic colors.
Invitation Details With tis particular design, you will need to work with your printer in order to get the correct saturation of paper based on your particular paper weight & choice.
Why go with Les Etas Unis
This style is similar to those I found at Shadycard.com. Shady is a British firm with extended roots in the the Royals made popular by the semblance of deep tradition and quality. The Royal family is hush hush about their private affairs but it is rumored that Shadty is their go-to designers and printers. Since george is British, I thought this would be great for the 2 of you - infusing romance & tradition.
* Invite Fun Facts & Considerations provided by the bride.com: styles, fads and trends are great for the moment but brides should choose designs that stay timeless so they may look back and still be satisfied. According to the invitationconsultants.com: Nothing is as sacred as tradition. Invite your guests with elegant borders on classic ivory or ecru paper. These timehonored wedding invitations will create a formal atmosphere. View our traditional wedding invitations and order using our easy online ordering system

Invitation Dates Additional cost considerations are as follows:
Local & Non-Holiday - If you're having a local wedding on a nonholiday weekend, it is not necessary to send out save-the-date cards. Instead, just send the invitations out about six weeks before your wedding date. Long Weekend - For a wedding taking place on a long weekend—which is often centered around a holiday— save-the-date cards are a great idea because people tend to make special plans early for these weekends. Drop save-the-dates in the mail about five months before your big day. Invitations for a long-weekend or holiday wedding should be mailed out a little bit earlier, as well. (Aim for about two months in advance.) . Destination- save-the-date mailing should go out about 9-12 months prior to the wedding. This gives guests plenty of time to make travel arrangements and to plan to take extra time off from work if they want to stretch your wedding into a vacation of their own. The actual invitations for your far-away fling should be sent 2 ½-3 months prior to saying "I do."

Image Customization creative image manipulation
Realizing your request for no pictures, maybe I could do something after you two tie the know. Please see the expert advice from shadycards.com.
Effects The most common effects in wedding photography.
B&W - black & white is the easiest way to manipulate an image. It is extremely easy to do in iPhoto. I did not include B/W in the examples because it takes extra time to process. Boost Color: please be wary of printers who charge a premium for the Docutech. Because of it’s popularity, it is approximately 30% reduction in cost. Due to this, Xerox mandates that printers pass those savings on to their clients. Fade Color - fade is a cross between B&W and color. It is great if you and George can not agree on how to process a picture. De-noising- de-noising is all encompassing. It is technically re-touching but denoising is what is used in the printing world.

A Special Love Between Us
Expert’s Advice
© Angela Gutierrez, I was only 18 at the time and didn’t know what to do by Shadicards.com I actually had no clue. But we decided that we wanted to see you. As time If the whole world were put into one scale, went by and you grew inside of me I just knew that you were going to be special. Now it’s time for my little angel to and my mother in the other, the whole world see the world. Now it’s time for me to be a mom would kick the beam. ~Lord Langdale I cried and cried tears of joy to be a mom to this little (Henry Bickersteth) one. Ten little finger. Ten little toes. One big smile. My heart never had so much love for someone that I knew nothing about. As you grew older and I learned about you I think back to the day that I had you. Now you are going to be 8 and you are getting smarter. Just never forget that things will get harder. And that mommy will always be there. We may have our time of arguments and disagreements. But in the end we will work through it. Just remember that not only can I be your mom I can also your best friend in the end. Don’t get worried that you’ll never have anyone to talk to. Cause right next to you is where I always will be. Holding my arms out. Waiting for my little angel to come into my arms. Just as you were born. I love you more then words can express. I never thought that in a million years I could be a mother. I enjoy every moment of you in my life. Never will I regret the decision that I made to have you. You are the colors to the rainbow. The light to the moon. The twinkle to the star. And the smile to my face. I love you with all my heart. Mommies little girl

Watermarks
Watermarking adds a great deal of customization to the overall invite and event. Advanced iPhoto Options.
Sania & George
The Overall Process
Considerations Additional cost considerations are as follows:
Watermarking - adds a great deal of depth to an invite but it adds to the business. From what I saw online, there were a ton of invites that were all too busy. However, whatever you need me to do, I will accommodate.
Sania & George
Tinting - I can try for other colors. You can go to coloulovers.com and make a customzed color that is only yours and I can mix in iPhoto.
S&G
Fonts - I have a small fortune of fonts that I found online. You can choose another font and I will do the rest. There are plenty of free online resources: fontspace.com has the best selection.
The above pictures were originally black & white photos as that is the best way to create a watermark. I can try to do a color photo but would be experimenting. Monograms with letters are awesome, too. I added one above. It seems very British-y to me. Below is color tinting. Once you choose a color, I can customize for you.
