Written By: Nani Hapa—Party planners in the know understand that one of the first things you need to get right is your invitation. Invitations are not just informative mailings with logistical details—they offer guests their first glimpse into a party’s aesthetic. Ola Tokunbo Oluropo Enitan, printmaker, graphic designer and owner of the flourishing notecard company Ijorere the Invitation, creates invitations for grand occasions. ("Ijo" means "day" and "Rere" means "grand.")
By day Ola-Tokunbo works as an Architect and at night, she is once again a Designer, with her production team passionately working on beautifully hand-made invitations. Passionate, detail-oriented and style-conscious, her invitations are modern and contemporary invites with hints and reminders of her Nigerian/American culture and the many influences of all the different cultural backgrounds that have crossed her path. Her notecards are intricately detailed, whether it’s a monogrammed invitation set featuring a damask pattern or a collection showcasing colorful Ankara-inspired prints.
