These fun surprise birthday party invitations were printed for Steve’s 65th birthday celebration. We customized our Rainier design in a sleek color palette of platinum shine foil paired with taupe letterpress ink. A custom belly band with the word “Shhhhhh…” was the first thing guests would read upon opening this handsome invitation. Rainier patterned envelope liners added an elegant finishing touch.

Our Creative Director Amy Graham Stigler worked with Lindsey and Timothy on their custom letterpress wedding invitations for their wedding at the Historic Pritzlaff in Milwaukee. Debi Zeinert of the Blooming Quill calligraphed their invitation envelopes, which were adorned with an assortment of cool vintage stamps. We especially love how the couple had their vows screen printed on fabric and hung during the ceremony and reception – such a unique touch!
