Bold Wedding Invitations

Wotjek and Ann wanted an invitation that represented the four nationalities of their families, so Ann van Poperingen, a designer based in Germany (and the bride herself!) created travel games, passports to add a little fun to the wedding suite . What I love about this invite is the combination of different typefaces, and the way the letters are used. I think Ann did an amazing job.
