My Journey Into Wedding Invitation Design – Featured in Voyage San Antonio Magazine
Posted by Cherin Thompson on 2nd Jun 2025
I'm incredibly honored to share that I was recently featured in Voyage San Antonio Magazine! In the interview, I talk about how I got started in wedding invitation design, the challenges I’ve faced along the way, what I offer through Ct9 Designs, and some advice I’d offer to other creatives starting out.
What started as a creative outlet has grown into a business I’m proud of—one where I get to help couples express their love stories through thoughtful, personalized design. Like most journeys, mine has had its ups and downs, but every experience has shaped who I am as a designer and business owner.
Here’s a glimpse of what I shared:
-
How I transitioned into invitation design
-
What I’ve learned from running Ct9 Designs
-
Advice for creatives who are just starting out

A Note for Fellow Creatives
One part of the interview I really enjoyed was getting to share tips for those just starting out. I talked about the value of seeking out mentors and building connections—not in a pressure-filled way, but in ways that feel natural and intentional. Surrounding yourself with people who understand the creative journey can make a real difference in how you grow.
If you're a couple looking for custom wedding invitations, or a fellow creative looking for encouragement, I hope my story resonates with you.
