Onward to the Invitations........

In keeping with the Mexican wedding theme already established by the save the date cards, I decided to work with the Loteria cards that I had earlier purchased. After a few days of unsuccessfully putting together mock up and assemblies, I enlisted the help of my good friend Nick. Nick and I had collaborated on several projects in the past from playing in bands together to working on projects during art school. If there ever was a creative problem, Nick is who you want to help solve it.

Immediately, we decided that using the Loteria cards as a backing to the invite was the way to go. What took some playing around was how to get the gold band on the top and bottom of the card. We bought some foil tape at Michaels but realized after trying some out that it was not going to cut the mustard. Luckily, Nick has an arsenal of supplies in his truck including both gold spray paint and painters tape...specifically frog tape. Fully fueled on churros and Mexican cokes, we returned from Olvera street with 40 miniature sarapes and were ready to start spraying.

These will be the RSVP cards. One Loteria card per RSVP. Both sides have the gold bands and the flip side will eventually have the RSVP info done in stamp format akin to the save the dates



The invite. The bingo side is the back while the side with the gold bands and sarapes will house the info (time, place, etc). Again, the info will be hand lettered and put into stamp format like the save the dates.
