Invitations provide the perfect personal touch for everything from private events to opening nights. You’re Invited! is the definitive guide to this versatile and charming medium.

We all love to be invited. The wedding of a relative; a friend's garden party; the launch of a new fashion label. Whether private party or corporate affair, a special occasion deserves a special invitation. You’re Invited! provides alluring invitations fashioned with hand-lettering techniques, fine paper choices, innovative printing methods, and more.

Carefully crafted, the examples within span the spectrum from the whimsical to the elegant: a wedding invitation takes inspiration from the board game Jumanji with a detail of dice inviting all to join the adventure of matrimony; Rifle Paper Co. designs notepads to shoes with the owner’s own wedding being the catalyst for her creative business venture; and Aurora Creative Studio thrives on creativity and eschews templates. Brands are allowed a freedom of expression through the intimate nature of an invitation. Clients enjoy receiving tokens from corporate affairs or garden parties. Friends treasure a handmade reminder for years to come. You're Invited! welcomes you to open, and even push, the envelope.

With designers constantly working for clients and having a limited amount of freedom in much of their work, the chance to strike out on their own and do something truly original and personal is a real luxury. The cards included represent some of the most creative design available so are a wonderful source of inspiration for all types of projects. All designers and design firms, whether in-house or freelance, create their own greeting cards which serve not only as a greeting card, but as an opportunity to show off their work in a totally unique and uninhibited light. In addition, they are the perfect project because they are small enough so they are not incredibly time consuming nor are they very expensive to produce -- even with unique materials or treatments.

Even in this current day and age, where we are all senders and receivers of voluminous emails, handmade greeting cards, stationery, and invitations never lose their charm or fail to touch the heart. This book is a delightful showcase of 1000 exciting and contemporary hand-designed greeting cards, with examples that feature a wide array of paper craft techniques, including: paper cutting, paper stencils, stamping, punching, stitchery, monoprints, screenprints, paper piecing, and more.

Greetings often provide designers with the chance to truly stretch their creative wings through personal expression. The follow-up to 1,000 Greetings, 1,000 More Greetings highlights a diverse cross section of current trends in graphic design. Corporate cutbacks and increased electronic connectivity are each variables that have contributed to the democratization of design in recent times, and the collection in this book reflects that. Everything from mass-produced to limited-edition pieces, from hand-drawn to computer-generated art, from conventional to renegade printing methods are all represented side-by-side in this compilation.

The book includes a broad definition of greetings that include everything from announcements from new baby to new company information; invitations from weddings to gallery openings; as well as moving cards; event posters; holiday greetings; birthday cards; gift cards; and more.
