The printed version was made for the people who were truly there for our wedding — our closest family. But the digital version, which I built in Framer, was designed to be more interactive and youth-friendly.
Everything from the print was included,
just clickable. To make things even easier, I added RSVP via QR code and a direct link to the venue location — no hassle, no confusion.
I started with an illustration of myself. It was a really quick sketch — maybe half an hour — and I actually liked how it turned out right away. I had some old photos of me in a leather jacket for reference, and I was surprised how fast it came together.
My wife, on the other hand, was a bit more challenging — but honestly, still way easier than trying to photograph her on the
beach :)
Once we, as a couple, were pretty much done, the cat was next in line. And finally, my love’s first love — her dog, Stark.
And voilà — the first page of the trifold invite was done.

Designing my own wedding invitation was one hell of a process.
I still remember, about 15 years ago, seeing the first truly unique invitation made by a fellow designer friend. I told myself back then, "One day, it’d be amazing to be skilled enough to design something like that for my own wedding."
And now, after all these years, I’m just grateful. Grateful that I stuck with it, kept learning, and finally got to bring that dream to life.
I guess I did become that skilled — at least enough to design something that felt truly ours.

From the start, we knew this wasn’t going to be a traditional wedding, so the invitation had to follow.
The concept came together around the date itself, Friday the 13th, and the idea of creating something that felt more like a limited edition gig poster than a wedding invite.
The black cat became a visual symbol, tying it all together with just the right amount
of mystery.
