One of my recent side projects was designing an invite for my
family’s upcoming Memorial Day Pig Roast. For the past 6 years we have
celebrated Memorial Day as an unofficial start to the summer, bringing
together old and new friends to enjoy a weekend in upstate New York.
I was inspired by the theme of classic southern BBQ’s along with the
patriotic color palette of Memorial Day events. I love the festive and
casual feel of the design along with the bold typography.
I think these invites would have looked incredible if they were
letterpress printed, although because of the limited budget I chose to
instead incorporate a subtle texture in the background. This gives the
feeling of textured paper, without raising the cost of the project.
The red envelopes were a fun addition, adding an extra pop of color
to the invitation suite. Overall, I am really happy with how they turned
out and they look great up on the fridge! Thanks again to Design Work
Life for featuring them on their website.
