By Invitation Only

Every aspect of the wedding preparation plays an important role in the build up and ANTICIPATION of your day. I stumbled across IJORERE The Invitation.

         Architect by day, Invitation Extraordinaire by night, IJORERE The Invitation is one of many expressions of Ola-Tokunbo’s creativity & appreciation for what she views as Art. With her production team passionately working on beautifully hand-made earth-friendly specialties, her contemporary invitations celebrate a new innovative culture of inter-diversity with influences of her Nigerian-American background.

         Her most celebrated design & accomplishments includes her IJORERE Signature wooden box© enclosures and her upcoming posh baby papery, IJOBABY. IJORERE renews the appreciation of receiving “The Invitation” and continuously create exquisite Innovative designs guests will rave about for years to come.

         Pronounced E-Jaw-Ray-Ray and derived from a Yoruba-Nigerian meaning, Ijo Rere is actually two words made one. ‘Ijo’ means Day and ‘Rere’ means Grand. Ijorere sums up how your special occasion should be…A day that is Grand.

Imagine getting one of these invites in the mail!!

Be Inspired

As an entrepreneur I’m always looking for inspirational stories of other bold and aspiring business owners.  This story spoke to me because Jacqueline Nwobu, along with her husband Chike Nwobu started, Munaluchi Bridal a magazine for BRIDES of color.

 

The bi-annual luxury magazine is carried in the United States, Nigeria and The United Kingdom and is sold in all Target stores – quite a feat for a publication that launched only a year and a half ago.

 

Watch below as Jacqueline talks about starting her business and the many challenges she overcame.
