Some months ago, I got to put together a set of custom cards that someone wanted to send to wedding vendors that he wanted to connect with, namely wedding planners and coordinators. The challenge was to create something that would work for both sexes, so I tried really hard to steer away from general wedding themes. Therefore, I had more fun with this than I had anticipated.

At the end of my brainstorming session, I put together what the desk space of a wedding planner/coordinator might look like — a journal, a checklist, pencils, scratch paper, a cup of coffee, and even a color swatch book that you can actually flip through!

This card is one my favorites I’ve ever had to make because it’s of my good friend, Daniel Usenko. Custom ordered by someone to thank Daniel for his help, I found it to be so amusing to finally put him in paper form since he has been one of my biggest motivators in my stationery business — and I never once thought of thanking him by cutting him out of paper myself. Why does someone else always come up with the best ideas?! His paper self is all dressed up in one of his signature outfits — a gingham shirt, black shorts, and his New York Yankees cap.
