Modern gold foil save the dates

Courtney and Sonny combined the layout from our Rainier save the date with the design elements from our Tatra suite to create their gold foil save the dates. Their modern #10 design featured gold shine foil stamping and sage green letterpress design accents, along with solid sage green envelope liners.

Petite Rainier save the dates

For their wedding in Vero Beach, Florida, John and Alexandra chose our Rainier design for their save the dates. We letterpress printed their petite save the dates in cornflower ink, and accented the piece with tawny matte foil. Cornflower blue envelope liners in our Taihu pattern tied the set together perfectly.

Custom tropical wedding invitation suite

Tracey and Nicholas worked with us to create one of the most beautiful invitation suites we’ve ever printed! For their May wedding in St. Barths, we digitally printed their tri-fold, passport style save the dates in pretty blues and pinks, then added gold shine foil stamping. An intricate custom crest complete with palm trees and their monogram was printed on both their save the dates and their gold wedding invitations, which also featured hand calligraphy. Their tropical invitation set included an events card and a reply card, which fit inside of a vibrant invitation sleeve complete with personal motifs – like the wedding chapel, a bottle of champagne, palm trees, and even the couple’s pup! Custom envelope liners for both the save the dates and the invitations were created to match each piece accordingly.

Smock Thank You Notes featured by Bridal Guide Magazine

Today we’re extending a note of thanks to Bridal Guide Magazine for featuring some of our wedding thank you notes in their recent round-up! Thank you notes are an important component of your wedding stationery suite, and while the process of writing them can sometimes feel overwhelming, having thank you notes on hand (as well as an arsenal of ideas for what to write, like the ones included in 101 Ways to Say Thank You: Notes of Gratitude for All Occasions) can help make the process much less daunting.

Colorful jewel toned Bat Mitzvah invitations

We personalized our Brynn design to create Maggie’s jewel toned Bat Mitzvah invitations. Featuring a pretty palette of orchid, azure, royale, and violet inks, the invitations and party cards both included a modern, text-based design on the front, with a colorful pattern covering the back. Orchid edge painting and striped patterned envelope liners added additional bursts of color to this sweet set.

Ocean inspired letterpress Baptism invitations

We worked with our friends at Mark Harris Stationers to create a monogrammed version of our Walsh invitation design for Georgi’s letterpress Baptism invitations. Printed in ocean and midnight inks, the invitations feature a modern font and a pebble inspired patterned backing. Starfish and seahorse motifs added character to the set, which was letterpress printed on our white bamboo paper.

Simple Chevron Rehearsal Dinner Invitations + Sleeves

For Jenna and Eric’s rehearsal dinner invitations, we created a simple, custom invitation that tucked inside of a ticket style sleeve. We letterpress printed our chevron pattern in jute ink on the invitation sleeves, then foil stamped the names of the bride and groom within a simple cartouche on the center of the piece. Letterpress printed envelope liners in our everett pattern added a fun element of pattern play to these sophisticated invitations.

Custom Chinoiserie inspired letterpress wedding invitation suite

We created a completely custom letterpress invitation suite for Honor and Jay’s black tie celebration at Winvian Farm earlier this month. The entire suite – which included an invitation and folio, save the date, reply card, website card, rehearsal dinner invitation, brunch card, and a custom map – featured custom, hand-drawn illustrations inspired by Chinoiserie style porcelain. Little nods to the wedding venue were worked into the custom illustrations, which spanned the entire back of the invitation folio and were sprinkled throughout the additional pieces.

Vintage Rose Letterpress Graduation Party Invitations

In honor of Samantha’s graduation from the University of Pennsylvania, her parents held a celebration at the Physick House in Philadelphia. They customized our Ashbourne design for the occasion, paying homage to the graduate’s middle name with our pink vintage rose pattern serving as a subtle background. In addition to the letterpress graduation party invitations, we also printed a sophisticated set of social stationery — and both pieces included solid envelope liners in the prettiest shade of pale pink to match.
