This festive yet formal design is complete with a whimsical design that carries over from the invitation to the RSVP and reception cards. It is a beautiful two color design that is available with letterpress or digital printing (shown).

One of the most striking elements of the Rana 2 invitation set is the shimmer and shine that the Petallics Beargrass paper provides. Move this invitation through the light and your eyes will see a soft, yet distinctive brilliance that few other papers can provide.

Whether you are planning a South Asian or Indian themed wedding celebration or simply love the cultural appeal, the Rana 2 wedding invitation set is sure to impress your guests!

Invitations by Ajalon Attended
The Dulhania Bazaar South Asian Bridal Expo

Wednesday, December 2nd, 2009

We were invited this year to the Dulhania Bazaar South Asian Bridal Expo in Phoenix to display our new South Asian themed letterpress wedding invitation designs.  The weekend was a total blast! I have never seen so many eager and excited brides. Vendors came from all around the country to show off their beautiful South Asian wedding garments, dishware, jewelry, accessories and of course, letterpress invitations.

Right as I walked into the main room of the event, I was greeted by an absolutely exquisite runway. The organizers decorated the walking area with a beautiful array of flower petals in an intricate design.

Of course it was not long before the music started, the lights were dimmed and the amazing fashion show started. South Asian runway models were showing off many of the latest designs for traditional brides and bridesmaids dresses. The crowd was totally enthusiastic and I could hear the ‘ohhs’ and ‘awws’ whenever a new dress was being displayed.

One of my favorite parts of the show was seeing the wedding table decorations and displays. There were some absolutely amazing designs, themes and colors that simply took my breath away. It is no wonder why South Asian wedding celebrations are so beautiful.

Overall the show was a lot of fun. We met with a great group of brides and we are already excited about attending this show next year!

New South Asian Wedding Invitation
Unique Foil and Custom Colors
Introducing Avani!

Friday, October 9th, 2009

We recently attended the Day of the Diva Bridal showcase in Orange County. Invitations by Ajalon was located in the South Asian section and unveiled many of our newest letterpress invitation sets for Sprint 2010 weddings.

Combining the beauty and classical aura that gold foil conveys with the deep emotion that textured violet paper brings, Avani was a solid hit for the bride and her guests. As well as being a favorite among the crowds at Day of the Diva!

The beautiful foil design carries over to the RSVP and reception cards. At the same time, this elegant design is perfect for any celebration, from a formal wedding to fun family reunion.

Just when you thought this invitation set could not get any better, it is available in a host of different paper selections and the color of the foil is fully customizable.

After receiving her invitation set, this bride was overwhelmed with joy:

“The invitations came out AMAZING, a million times more beautiful than I ever have imagined them. The colors all turned out to be a perfect match and the gold foil is absolutely stunning. I am speechless.” – Sindhu

Remember, everything we create is can be altered to fit your personality and wedding theme. If you like part of a design, but want to take the invitation set in a different direction, feel free to ask and it will be our pleasure to help create the perfect invitation set for you.
