THE SEARCH FOR SOMETHING EXTRA
I knew from the beginning that I didn’t want xx, yours truly to be just another rental service. It had to feel luxurious and elevated from the start, which meant stationery that screamed main character energy. So, I set out on a quest for the perfect designer.
MEETING TANJA: THE VISIONARY BEHIND OUR STATIONERY
One night, my boyfriend and I went to an industry event—one of those stiff, after-work scenes that wasn’t exactly our vibe. But then, across the room, I saw Tanja. She was a legend in the world of fine-art stationery, known for her minimalistic, white, and beige masterpieces. And right then, I had this feeling that she was meant to be a part of xx, yours truly.
So, I did what any inspired girl would do: I marched right up to her, introduced myself, and told her, “Hi, I’m Lydia, and I don’t know why, but I know I need you for something big I’m planning.” Poor Tanja had no clue what I was talking about, but she was intrigued. After the event, she texted me, asking what this “big plan” was all about.
THE FIRST MEETING (TANJA HAD NO CLUE)
A few months passed—months of plotting, designing, and bringing xx, yours truly to life—and finally, I knew it was time to reach out to Tanja. We met up in this adorable restaurant in Munich, and I remember being so nervous. I shared my vision, showed her the themes, and asked if she’d be interested in creating custom invitations and stationery for each one.
Her response? A resounding “yes.” Tanja understood the vision instantly. But being the honest queen she is, she looked me dead in the eye and asked, “Lydia, am I the right person for this? I’m all about minimalist, fine art design—and some of these themes are bold and wild.”
WHY TANJA WAS THE PERFECT MATCH
Her honesty was what sealed the deal for me. I knew right then that Tanja was the perfect designer because she wasn’t just in it for the project; she was in it for the vision. She told me, “The world needs this; I’d book it myself!” And from there, we were off.
THE FINAL RESULT: SLAYING THE STATIONERY
Can we all just agree that Tanja slayed the designs? Each piece of stationery is pure perfection, elevating every party theme to main-character status. From luxurious wedding vibes to bold themes like “Funeral” and “Rumble in the Jungle,” she found a way to create pieces that make every invitation feel like the beginning of a grand adventure.
Working with Tanja to design stationery that embodies the spirit of xx, yours truly has been a dream. Her creations are so much more than paper; they’re the opening scene of an unforgettable experience. So if you’re ready to throw a party that’s all about the main character energy, know that the vibe starts the moment you send out your invite.
