Hi! I'm back with Episode 3 of my special series highlighting fan favorites and my picks for the best of what we’ve seen across 15 years and 655 shows.
This week, I’ve got the best of event invitations, and this is a category that had so many great candidates, it was really hard to decide. I’ve narrowed it down to 6 outstanding ideas that go from simple to complex:
- Event invitations are usually designed outside the lines of standard marketing and branding and can feature some really fun themes.
- We’ll see a range of solutions, finishes, papers, and strategies that will make you want to get even more creative with your next project.
And that's Episode 3 - I hope you enjoyed it! If you celebrate, I wish you a lovely and restful holiday, and I'll see you in two weeks for episode #4! Thanks for watching — I appreciate you.
