Invitations Ink

Yo! You’re invited…

So if you’ve been to a Sacramento Kings game lately, chances are you’ve seen our customer and friend–Scott aka “Fresh”. He’s the in-arena host for the Kings who can be spotted running around during timeouts and half time entertaining us alongside Slamson. Still not sure who Fresh might be?–check out his Slam Wow and Tyreke Evans parodies.

Now that you have a better idea of Fresh’s crazy awesome personality, you’ll see why we couldn’t go with ordinary invitations. After meeting with his beautiful bride-to-be Yolanda, we decided to mirror their invitations after our {oh so popular} Eat Drink and Be Married invitations. Of course we couldn’t use the same wording, so we had to come up with something really clever and FUN! After much thought and some really bad singing in the car, we worked in the lyrics from Celebration by Kool and the Gang. The front flap was inspired by their Mexican food reception and their names–“Yo and Fresh”.

We really enjoyed creating these invitations for this amazingly fun couple and the cutest, most unexpected thing happened when I delivered these invitations to Fresh. All he could say was “I can’t stop staring at them!” <— We never get tired of hearing this, but we’re just not used to hearing it from the groom!!
