Sydney and John worked with our dear friend Colin of Pulp and Ink to create these lovely invitations for their lakeside wedding. The design blends elegance and luxury in an elevated and intentional way.

• envelope liner: classic color pattern in pms 7748 u
• envelope: white cotton text
• envelope addressing: pms 7748 u digital on the front and the back
• job: 76454

The flowing script font for the names is classic and traditional, while the refined serif font for the body text provides balance and extenuates the curves and flourishes of the script font. A custom sage green ink is perfect for the garden-party vibe of the reception and appears throughout the suite for a cohesive feel. Our handmade paper is luxuriously soft, and the feathery deckle edge adds another tactile element to the invitations.

The events card is a four-panel accordion fold that is simply delightful. Each panel of this letterpress-printed card features details about the big day. The card is printed on our Smooth Cotton paper, which is decadent, soft, and holds a crisp letterpress impression.

Rehearsal Dinner Invitation

• digital ink: pms 7748 u
• fonts: guyot press + juliette
• paper: bella cover white
• card size: a-2
• job: 76454

The rehearsal dinner invitation flips the script in a way by digitally printing a flood of the couple’s signature green on our cover stock. The text is created by the void in the printing, giving the illusion of color paper with white printing. This technique ensures a perfect color match across all of the stationery items. The digital printing was pulled back slightly from the edges, exposing the unprinted paper and creating a stately border.

Menu

• digital ink: pms 7748 u
• fonts: guyot press + juliette
• paper: bella smooth cotton 1-ply white
• size: 4” x 9”
• job: 78018

The final piece in this lovely wedding suite is the menu. Three versions of the menu were printed based on the menu selections, with each customized with the guests’ names. This detail is thoughtful and inviting.

It was a pleasure to work on Sydney and John’s wedding stationery, and it’s always a delight to work with Pulp and Ink.

Lovely details, quite sophistication, and plenty of texture have us fawning over Emily and Shelby’s blind emboss wedding stationery. We had the absolute pleasure of creating this couple’s save-the-date and invitation suite with our dear friend Carlyn of Lee’s Paperie.

Save the Date

• letterpress ink: mineral
• emboss: blind
• fonts: abramo serif + granjon
• paper: bella handmade white
• card size: a-6 deckle edge
• envelope: white cotton text
• envelope addressing: mineral digital on the front / mineral letterpress on the back
• job: 75082

Everything about these custom pieces is gorgeous in an understated way. Handmade paper is always lovely and introduces so much texture, from the feathery deckle edge to the soft, pillowy surface. The use of blind embossing, which creates a raised area, for the bride and groom’s names on both the save the date and the invitation, adds even more of a tactile component. Letterpress printing in mineral for the remaining text is subtle and lowkey. Abundant negative space proves that less is more and balances the layout, further emphasizing the couple’s names.

The custom liner for the invitation is an irregular stripe pattern that adds a somewhat muted pop of color while still maintaining the aesthetic. Whether you want the soft texture of handmade paper or an understated, minimalist design, we, along with our dealers, can help you create the perfect wedding stationery for your big day.

These invitations blend refined luxury with breezy tropical charm. The invitations are classic and opulent, while the belly band and envelope liner lend the entire invitation suite an elevated, tropical estate elegance. Rachel and Trevor worked with our dear friend Diane of Sincerely Yours Diane.

The crisp, minimal layout is clean and airy. The flowing script font features extravagant flourishes to emphasize the couple’s names and key details. The gently sloping bevel edges are formal and sophisticated, perfect for a black tie wedding, while gold matte foil accents the bevel, highlighting the angle. The reply card and rehearsal dinner invitation closely follow the same design for a cohesive feel across the entire suite.

A lush custom watercolor illustration of the wedding venue, The Addison, appears on the envelope liner and the belly band. The warm-toned artwork is soft and creates a painterly, destination feel while providing guests a sneak peek of the grand estate. The sun-washed artwork sets a golden hour vibe and personalizes the overall suite, making it unique to this couple and their wedding.

Work with one of our dealers to create the perfect invitations for your wedding, whether you want something with tropical estate elegance or mountain chalet charm, or anything in between.

Marisol and Terence’s foil-stamped wedding invitations have an old-world charm and plenty of refined details, plus some unexpected design elements that keep things light, fun, and glamorous. This couple worked with our dear friend Carolyn from Quintessence Fine Papers and Gifts to create these invitations.

At its core, this custom wedding invitation design leans into classic formality. The couple’s initials appear in a custom, ornate crest at the top, immediately setting the tone. A traditional layout, coupled with a flowing script font and a classic serif font, creates a balanced, structured feel. Champagne matte foil stamping is elegant, while the broad, foil-stamped border adds a decadent touch.

The envelope liner features a custom illustration of the Chicago History Museum, the location of the reception. This is a lovely personal element that is completely unique to this design. The envelope liner features bold white digital printing on walnut text, adding a contemporary feel to the invitation suite.

The reception card is a stunner, featuring foil stamping on our cocoa velvet. The velvet is adhered to our metallic sand 1-ply, giving the card structure and a hint of glimmer. An oval die-cut shape further distinguishes this card, while the broad foil-stamped border aligns with the invitation design.

The whimsical details card also features our metallic sand stock, but this time it’s die cut into the shape of a butterfly. This is a charming card that succinctly conveys important info while introducing a fun, unexpected design element.

A timeless aesthetic with soft, romantic detailing has us head over heels for these monogram letterpress invitations. The entire stationery suite is sophisticated and intentional. All of the elements effortlessly work together, and it was a joy to bring this vision to life. Hannah and Vincent worked with our dear friend Jill of Jill Elaine Designs to create their custom invitations.

The monogram immediately catches the eye and sets the tone. The circular crest monogram at the top is elegant and instantly elevates the design, lending it a formal, traditional feel. Our pillowy-soft Bella smooth cotton paper in 2-ply holds a crisp letterpress impression, showcasing the subtle detailing of the border surrounding the monogram.

The floral envelope liner adds a whisper of color and a formal-garden vibe, perfect for a summer wedding.

All of the cards are neatly secured in a pocketfold. This piece ensures a stunning presentation while the stripped cover picks up on the thin borders of the invitation and reception card.

These letterpress wedding invitations have a refined coastal minimalism feel with plenty of tactile elements, creating an elevated look that is perfect for a beachside affair. Megan and Harrison worked with our dear friend Kayla of Papermade Studio to customize our Sedna design, and it could not be more perfect.

Invitation

• letterpress ink: toast
• emboss: blind
• fonts: ivy ora display + mr eaves mod
• paper: bella smooth cotton 2-ply white
• size: f-8
• envelope liner: metallic oyster text (no printing)
• envelope: clay text
• envelope printing: black digital on the front and the back
• job: 77226

Everything about this invitation suite is beach-ready while maintaining an elevated aesthetic. Toast letterpress ink on our smooth cotton 2-ply paper is quietly sophisticated and infuses a serene vibe into the design. The couple’s initials are blind-embossed in the upper-left corner, creating a sleek, modern monogram. Embossing introduces a raised component that contrasts with the letterpress printing, which is pressed into the paper and oriented in the bottom-right corner.

Belly Band

• foil stamping: clear shine
• emboss: blind
• paper: metallic oyster text
• size: f-8 horizontal belly band (1.75” x 17.49” open, 1.75” x 8.43” closed)
• job: 77226

The belly band expands on the soft, sand-inspired color palette. Clear-shine foil adds a subtle glimmer to our metallic oyster paper, while the repeating seashell pattern introduces some art deco glamour. The subtle contrast keeps everything feeling airy and modern while still warm and inviting.

Reply Card

• letterpress ink: toast (front)
• deboss: blind (back)
• fonts: ivy ora display + mr eaves mod
• paper: bella cotton 2-ply white
• size: 5” x 5”
• die style: cd-341
• job: 77226

The die-cut reply card is absolutely darling. The seashell shape is minimal and refined, preventing it from becoming kitschy. Toast letterpress printing on the front coordinates with the invitation. Blind deboss printing on the back, which is essentially letterpress printing without ink, mimics the natural dimension of a shell while adding even more texture.

It’s always a delight to work with Papermade Studio, and we are thrilled to have worked on Megan and Harrison’s letterpress wedding invitations. Are you dreaming of something coastal, monochromatic, with a hint of ocean-inspired minimalism? Or do you want something with a romantic seaside elegance? Or does the idea of a fun die-cut inspire you? Whatever you’re dreaming up, we can make happen. Work with us or one of our dealers to create your perfect invitations.

A new home is an exciting time, and the Martin family wanted to share the good news with their friends and family. Given the timing, they also chose to include another card conveying Easter well wishes. The family worked with our dear friend Lindsey from Mrs. Post Fine Stationery & Gifts to create a whimsical new home announcement, a thoughtful Easter card, and a lovely gatefold with custom artwork. The overall feel is soft and sentimental.

Details Card

• letterpress ink: chambray
• digital ink: cmyk
• fonts: itc galliard pro roman/italic + sophia script regular
• paper: bella smooth cotton 2-ply white
• Size: sq-5
• die cut shape: cd-654
• envelope printing: cmyk + chambray digital on the front, interior, and back flap
• custom converted envelope: white text
• envelope die: e-400 
• job: 75675

The details card shares the couple’s new address and contact information. Floral watercolor artwork hugs the gentle scallop edge. The extravagant script font beautifully coordinates with the floral border. The design is fun and fanciful. 

The announcement card features a more traditional design and shares an Easter sentiment. The airy script font makes a statement while the remaining text appears in a refined yet understated serif font that anchors the typography. The crisp letterpress border frames the text while outlining the edges of the card.

The gatefold is an absolutely charming piece that secures the cards in the envelope while also showcasing the couple’s home. An illustration of the home appears on the interior and is visible when the cards are removed. Artwork featuring the home is also printed on the exterior of the gatefold and aligned in such a way to showcase the structure when the gatefold is closed. The same floral artwork from the details card delicately cascades along the exterior fold line, framing the home when recipients remove the gatefold from the envelope.

All of these pieces have a storybook feel with charming watercolor artwork and personal touches. It was a complete joy to work on this job. Are you interested in custom stationery to commemorate a milestone and spread your good news? Do you love the concept of a gatefold that reveals a custom illustration when the panels are closed? Whatever your stationery needs, our dealers can assist you through the process to create the perfect pieces.

Gorgeous letterpress printing on handmade paper with a decadent deckle edge and some serious sun-drenched vineyard vibes ensured Nicole and Jonathan’s wedding invitations were elegant yet relaxed. The couple worked with our dear friend Jenny of Jenny’s Paper, Ink to create their custom letterpress invitations.

Clay letterpress ink on our white handmade paper is exquisite. A delicate script font highlights the couple’s names. The layout is traditional, airy, and perfect for a black-tie wedding. Amethyst metallic thread adds even more texture and hints at the details card. The reply card follows the same luxurious vibe as the invitation.

The envelope liner and details card break from the expected, but still fit the aesthetic. The digitally printed liner features a stunning sunset photo of a vineyard, tying into the wedding’s venue. The warm tones and golden glow create a strong sense of place.  

Details Card

• foil stamping: white matte
• fonts: lucia + warnock + rosella
• paper: bella lilac 1-ply
• size: 4” x 14.5” flat, 3.5” x 4” folded
• job: 75382

The details card is fun and introduces a subtle color accent without overpowering the neutral palette. The five-panel card folds compactly yet still conveys a lot of information about the rehearsal dinner, farewell brunch, transportation, and more. White matte foil stamping on our lilac paper is sophisticated and low-key glamorous.

Overall, the style blends wine country romance with elegant, relaxed luxury, creating an invitation suite that feels both polished and warmly inviting. Do you want wedding invitations with a rustic charm? Are you envisioning subtle references to the venue or region? Work with one of our dealers to create the perfect invitations that bring your vision to life.

These custom-designed invitations blend delicate botanical illustration, refined typography, and thoughtful details to create an invitation that feels fresh, graceful, and quietly luxurious. The airy floral border, made up of soft watercolor-style flowers, is the defining feature. The blooms feature pinks, blush tones, purples, and soft greens, loosely arranged to feel like a natural meadow. This look gives the design an organic, romantic aesthetic that feels light and seasonal.

An indulgent, looping font for the couple’s names is dramatic and eye-catching. The supporting text appears in a classic serif font that balances the layout and emphasizes the extravagance of the script font.

Letterpress printing in our denim ink introduces a darker tone, balancing the airiness of the digitally printed watercolor artwork. The blue-gray silk ribbon complements the color palette, adds even more tactile luxury, and serves as a lovely finishing touch.

This design blends classic elements with subtle modern touches, creating something that is both timeless and fresh. Hanna and Alex worked with our dear friend Lori of Uptowne Papers to customize our now-retired Lennox design. Our designs are always available to be turned into something custom, but we no longer maintain samples once retired. So if you see something that is retired, you can still customize it for your wedding invitations.

The design puts a modern spin on the concept of a monogram by spelling out the couple’s first names. Parallel lines above and below the names break up the accompanying floral artwork. The floral artwork visually anchors the names while maintaining a neat and structured composition. The look is contemporary yet still embodies classic design elements and botanical elegance.

The typography balances formality with a graceful softness. In the invitation text, the couple’s names appear in a handwriting-inspired font, adding warmth and a personal vibe. The layout is symmetrical and utilizes generous spacing for a polished look.

Foil stamping is always stunning, but the mix of white matte foil on our metallic vista paper is lovely and sophisticated. The flat finish of the foil contrasts with the paper’s shimmer.

The envelope liner reverses the color palette of the cards and features our lilac shine foil on white text. Nothing says formal quite like a floral envelope liner, but this design continues to put a modern twist on traditional design. The enlarged floral artwork is off-center, creating a more current, on-trend feel. The liner adds a romantic garden feel without becoming overly ornate.

Do you want something modern, but still has a classic feel? Or do you like the idea of mixing matte foil and metallic paper? Whatever you dream up, we can help turn your vision into your wedding stationery. Contact us or work with one of our dealers to create your perfect wedding invitations!

Elizabeth and Mathew’s letterpress wedding invitations are classic, refined, and gorgeous with plenty of romantic undertones. The look perfectly set the tone for their scenic summer wedding. The couple worked with our friend Kristyn of Oliver’s Twist to customize our Hadaway design.

Invitation

These invitations expertly balance classic formal elements, such as calligraphy and letterpress printing, with modern design and botanical charm. The flow of the calligraphy is stylish and airy, while the letterpress border framing the invitation adds a contemporary elegance. Our garden letterpress ink is fresh and perfect for a summertime affair.

Delicate florals adorn the liner in a symmetrical pattern, providing plenty of color and a traditional garden-inspired look.

The welcome party card maintains the floral look but uses blind embossing. The floral border is more organic and less structured than the envelope liner, keeping the overall look fresh and unexpected. The raised detail contrasts with the depth of the letterpress printing, while the same ink color and graceful, agile flourishes of the calligraphy tie into the invitation design.

These letterpress wedding invitations have us dreaming of summertime weddings, floral arrangements, and calligraphy accents. Are you ready to design your perfect wedding stationery? Contact us or work with one of our dealers to get started!

Invitation

• letterpress ink: vine
• digital: clover
• font: austin

For their wedding stationery, Katrina and John envisioned something modern and minimalist, yet still soft, with an emphasis on their wedding venue in Southern Italy. The couple worked with our dear friend Carolyn from Just Paper and Tea to create the perfect Mediterranean wedding invitations.

Our Kailua design was a great starting point. Instead of the seaside scene of the inspiration design, the couple opted to showcase imagery of the venue, Masseria Le Torri in Polignano a Mare. It blends clean contemporary design with organic, Old World texture. The look is effortless but still very much intentional. The monochromatic ink choice of our vine letterpress over clover digital gives it cohesion and calm. The color palette also evokes the coastal landscape and olive trees that dot the region.

The layout plays with scale and adds depth. Bold, large-format names in all uppercase create a presence and structure. In contrast to the delicate body text, for visual drama. The same font appears throughout for simplicity and consistency.

The events and details cards maintain the same look. Instead, both cards feature an illustration of a prickly pear cactus, which also grows in the area. The envelope liner features the same illustration. It leans coastal Mediterranean, which keeps the look modern and location-driven.

Are you interested in finding a way to feature your venue in your invitation design? Whether you want Mediterranean wedding invitations or invitations showcasing a different area, work with one of our dealers to design the perfect invitations for your big day.
