New locations!

I've updated our website today to reflect 2 new locations of JDK Invitations coming soon! The first is Indianapolis, Indiana where my friend Amy Sample will be a sales consultant and support the Indy area. The second is Lousville, KY/southern Indiana where my sister Nikki DiGuiseppe will be selling. I'm so excited to expand this much already! And I know both of them will do really well. Check out our contact page to contact either of them. I hope to have them both up and running at the start of the new year. Yay!!

2 consultations today

I know it's been a while since the last blog update, but things have been busy! I (Jeana) found out that I am pregnant, so doctors appt's and such have been keeping me busy!
On to wedding invitations! I had 2 consultations today on the East side of Clevelad.
The first was with Laura Miller and her mom Rhonda. Laura wanted more of a traditional look -so I showed her invitations from our McPherson's Affordably Inviting Book. She picked a beautiful cream seal and send invitation with a floral design - very classy. This consultation went quick, they knew exactly what they wanted, and Laura had to get back on a plane to NJ where she lives! And I found out her fiance is from Switzerland - how cool!

My next consulation was with Jenna Wolfberg and her mom. Jenna was looking for something modern. She found this in our custom side pocket invitation. We put together the colors of metallic pewter, black, and metallic snow white. We are also going to do a custom monogram for her and her fiance to be used throught her invitations and accessories. We will also be doing circle menus (love them!), thank you cards, and placecards.

Photos of samples to come!

Julia and Chris

I met with Julia and her mom last night in Fairview Park - I loved them! Julia wanted to do aqua, black, and white. They especially liked our custom invitations--our long jacket invite and our triple layer invite. Julia had a hard time narrowing down her choices (we can't blame her!), so I am going to send her photos of both invitations so she can think about it. This is a good option for brides with time to spare (she isn't getting married until July). She will then decide and I will do an exact sample for her to sign off on.

Heather and Will

I am now back from a wonderful Western Europe vacation. It was amazing! Before I left I met with Heather and Will, getting married next August. Heather's mom found us on the web, go Heather's mom! I met them at Heather's house and went over potential invitations. They loved our custom pocket invitations, as well as some samples in our Affordably Inviting Carlson Craft catalog book. I am working on some samples now of our customized invitations, I hope they love them! Heather and Will were nice to meet with, really easy going and agreeable. Their colors will be black, white, and raspberry. Here's 2 samples I did for them:

Rachel and Robbie

Just got back from a great meeting with a client in Lakewood. Rachel and her fiance Robbie live in Cleveland for the time being, but are from California, and are getting married in California in January. I will be working on sample invitations, save the dates, and placecards for them. Their reception will be held at a venue in the desert with beautiful views! Their colors are deep purple/plum and silver. I suggested adding a charcoal gray and cream to the mix. Here's 2 sample invitations I did for them as well as a Save the Date and placecards:

Mary Ellen and Jason

I met with Mary Ellen and Jason yesterday evening for their consultation. Their wedding sound slike a blast, they are having a very casual ceremony and picnic reception at Meadow Ridge Farm in Windsor, Ohio. It is a huge field of 140 acres with a pond where they've had festivals and concerts. They are having a tons of activities at their reception and are offering the option for their guests to camp out that night as well. Sounds like fun! They wanted an outdoorsy invitation, we discussed a floral image in yellow, forest green, and pink on white stock with a tropical green backing layer and a tropical green outer envelope. I can't wait for them to get their sample!
Here's photos of their sample:

New Photos
