Here’s what Get Carded has to say about their business:

Get Carded is a unique invitation design studio, owned and operated by husband and wife design duo, Erika (aka Riki) and Ron Whistler. They are traditionally trained Graphic Designers working together to create beautiful invitations. Having created the occasional invitation for bridal showers, baby showers and parties, Erika was quite familiar with the thought process and the commitment put forth to capture the essence of a well planned event. Their own wedding invitation was truly the start of their passion for specializing in invitation design. They loved the idea of branding their love story and thought it would be exciting to design invitations that fully express the unique bond between two people, a one of a kind masterpiece exclusive to only the couple. Through an interview and concept process, Get Carded creates personal relationships with their clients and generates a visual story that announces the most precious moments of their lives. These One of a Kind invitations are treated much like a Graphic Design studio’s projects, offering several design concepts complete with presentations andany necessary services to create exactly what the client desires. In addition to One of a Kind services, Get Carded is currently putting together a Collections option of invitation designs as new product offerings that allow unique design construction and artwork for multiple clients across many budgets.

This one was one of my favorites – this particular couple liked the park, so a park theme, complete with bunnies scampering about, was creatively designed.  Love the gatefold!

Get Carded also has it’s own in-house letterpress!  This was my first encounter with a letter press, and it is quite fascinating!  The machine weighs over a ton, and is from the early 1900′s!

Erika loves unique designs, including custom die cuts to set off your invitation.  Here was another One of a Kind design:

And – Get Carded does invitations and announcements for ALL occasions – not just weddings.  Here’s a cute baby announcement:

And, last but certainly not least – meet Erika and Ron, such a nice couple!
