My boyfriend of 2 years and I celebrated our wedding in a 4-part event across 2 cities.
The engagement - the only part in Mumbai was hosted on my father's farm, some 100 km from the city. He had recently designed and built a 2-storey house on the plot, and I convinced him to host this 200-odd people gala there - not only because they needed to see how beautiful he had made it, but also because conventional weddings in halls are not a good look for me.
For this, I insisted on creating invitation cards with my basic knowledge of Autodesk Sketchbook and Photoshop, and with the blessings of all the talented designers I have had the privilege to work with and learn from. That's quite a handful of work, even for a 4-month sabbatical.
As a digital copywriter, I tried to make as many invitations for sharing on WhatsApp, and with personalised content. Still, most had to be printed, and happy to report, they were received with a lot of love.
These are the invitations for the event at the farm.
The events in Bangalore included a sangeet, the wedding ceremony, and the reception party. I decided to call only my closest friends (98% of my ex-colleagues from the award-winning Webchutney team), and give them a brief the way they know it.
Nearly all of them turned up.
That's it.
