i showed the client all of these examples, and asked her weather she felt when the RSVP flap was closed weather the floral pattern from the menu and the floral pattern on the rsvp flap was a bit overwhelming together. she said she didnt think so and liked the designs together, however after after showing her the plain menu with the RSVP flap design she prefered the pattern to just be on RSVP without the menu floral design.

 

i printed out the designs to get a more realistic idea of what they will look like. i think the design works much better with a plain menu. if the menu worked on its own i would definitely use the floral but it was too much with both parts having illustrations on. i think the grey colour also works better behind the flowers on the RSVP flap as it makes the colour of the flowers more prominent. although the client isn't using the invitation, i have made it to show how these design can work as a wedding merchandise set. i have added my name and web address subtly on the back of the invitations to self promote myself to those who will receive the invitation.

Order of service

the order of service design was also discuseed with the client. researching the order of service, many designs/layouts are booklet formed rather than all on one page, although the client was not choosy about the layout and would be happy with the content being on one page if it would fit. 

design for booklet:
as the order of service is to be used during the ceremony i thought about illustration the church on the front of the booklet. was this style of illustration still in-keeping with the other floral illustrations?

designs for single page.
i have showed this to the client and she is happy with it on one page. if she wanted anymore information added to the list, she suggested double side printing to avoid it having to be made into a booklet.
