3 Part InvitationMegan and Ashish, what a fun wedding to work on! We needed to design 3 different wedding invitations that featured a little bit of Indian style, Megan's style, and a combo of both.

One invitation enclosure card featured information for the Indian ceremony held at Cross Culture Restaurant and the other invitation inviting guests to the ceremony held at Le Club Avenue.
