invite english khmer

Yeah, I got married earlier this year, and it was my job to make the invites. Our wedding wasn’t in any way a traditional one ( no walking down the isle, no groomsmen/bridesmaids etc. ) so I wanted the invite to reflect that a little. Sure, I love white and lots of it, but I wanted something different.

I like green, and my wife likes green, and our wedding was to be outdoors so green it was. I wanted it to have some feel of Josef Müller Brockmann in it so naturally I used Helvetica as the typeface. The figures were illustrated using Illustrator ( naturally ) and the grass and leaves were standard Photoshop brushes.

English on one side, Khmer on the other, printed on 300gsm matt cards.

I also designed an RSVP page for the guests, which made working out the numbers much easier.
