I LOVE seating charts!


Here is another seating chart I did for a couple last month. They had it displayed as guests walked into the reception and not only was it decorative and coordinated with the rest of their wedding, it was easy for their guests to see.
Contact me at jytdesign@aol.com for details on having a custom designed chart for your wedding or celebration. These are great for Bar and Bat Mitzvahs also.

Beyond weddings


Designing invitations for birthdays, etc. are so much fun! I was looking through my files and found this one I had done last October and thought I should share it. Her daughter gave me this picture to use and it was perfect as she was holding an envelope in her hand which I converted to her favorite color red and used it to add some spice to the invite. I enjoy coming up with these poems that put all the details in rhyme. I used just a portion of the picture on the envelope so the recipient also has a surprise of their own and when I found the "Celebrate" stamp, it completed everything perfectly. I would love the opportunity to create an invitation for your next event that fits whatever style you are, write me at jytdesign@aol.com with details.

Seating Charts for all occasions



Seating charts have always been a favorite of mine as an alternative to place cards. They are so decorative and make a wonderful keepsake long after the event has ended. Most venues have easels that can be used to display them and other options are available. Contact me at jytdesign@aol.com and let me come up with the best seating arrangement for your upcoming event.

Invitation poems & more


Another one of the things I offer is putting the details of your event to rhyme. Here is a recent example. These are especially good for Milestone age birthday parties but can be done for any event. Bar and Bat Mitzvah candle lightings are another of the many services offered by Just Your Type Design. Contact me at jytdesign@aol.com with your event details.

Creative Envelope Addressing



This is how I started out and it is still one of my favorite things to do. While I have made complete wedding invitation ensembles, most brides I have dealt with prefer thermograph invitations, where the ink is raised. The machines that do this process are very expensive. However, the same companies that do the thermograph invitations are unable to provide the personalized envelope addressing that I offer. Here are 2 examples of recent envelopes I have done that used the original invite fonts and ink colors.
Show me your invitation and I will come up with a truly unique addressing style that will WOW your guests. Contact me at jytdesign@aol.com to find out more about my many services for wedding, bar and bat mitzvahs and other special events.

A favorite wedding program



This bride from Chicago wrote me after attending a wedding of another client. She liked what I had done and asked me to come up with something unique for her. We incorporated the place card as part of the program so the guests did not have to fuss after the ceremony with finding their seats. The rice paper outer cover is semi-transparent allowing the bride and groom's name to show through. The inside explains the traditions of the Jewish wedding and I was even able to copy her ketubah and put their names with the Hebrew meaning inside the trees. She was so pleased and this remains one of my favorite wedding programs.

Bar and Bat Mitzvah Invitation Envelope Addressing





Since this is where it all began, I thought I would start by showing some of the envelopes I have addressed for Bar Mitzvahs. These are always so much fun as they seem to run the gamut of colors and designs. I am a fontaholic as it is and if the invitation contains a font that is not in my library of thousands, I will get it. Matching typestyles and colors are of utmost importance to me.

I have had customers from all over the country and am able to design an unique envelope design for your special event utilizing e-mail and regular mail. If you are in the Tampa Bay or West Bloomfield, Michigan area we would be happy to meet with you in person to discuss your needs. Send an e-mail to jytdesign@aol.com with your name and phone number and we will contact you about setting up an appointment.


Envelope Addressing isn't all we do! Custom invitations, wedding programs, custom event maps, placecards, seating charts are just a few of the items we can design for you. And if you prefer to get your invitation from a book, Jansson, Encore, and Regency are just a few of the companies we carry.
