Time to Toast Talent

Welcome to the first edition of "Time to Toast Talent." I will be dedicating a series of posts to honoring some of my incredibly talented fellow entrepreneurs who I also have the pleasure to call my personal friends ::insert toothy grin here::.

Let's start with my good friend Cindy who is gifted with the ability to transform a plain piece of card-stock into a gorgeous and elegant invitation. I call her the Paper Goddess:)

Case in point, my husband and I will soon be hosting an evening of dinner and dancing to honor our 5th year anniversary, we have planned an elegant and fun event.  To set the tone for this joyous celebration, lovely Cindy offered to create our invitations and I very gratefully accepted her wonderful gesture.


To start with,  I provided her with this inspiration picture. I wanted a similar color scheme and loved the elegant simplicity of the invite:

Cindy went to work creating her magic, and this is what she came up with. I believe a picture tells a much more eloquent story than I ever could, so let's let the following images do their job:

The gorgeous, incredibly detailed packaging and wrapping Cindy delivered the invites in, she made sure to deliver each component separately so to ensure that the invites remain flawless and would not be bent.  She thought of every detail, even including extra glue and adhesives so that I could easily assemble and address the invitations.

And here are the invites themselves…. I was absolutely floored at how beautiful they turned out!!!! The paper is of the highest quality as was the finish. The black cardstock she chose has an almost satin consistency and the  fuschia swirl was the perfect accent, she also added a mini swirl to the RSVP card, perfection.  Cindy was also wonderful at providing me with the exact wording on the invites and in the exact format that I asked for, I also asked if we could include a little bling to the invite in the form of two rhinestones and she readily heeded my wishes...
