Our Bella smooth cotton stock in 2-ply holds a clean, deep letterpress impression, adding a subtle texture. Lavender ink is romantic, almost ethereal, and regal. This color also coordinates with the venue, The Ritz-Carlton Montréal. The script font used in the inspiration design was highly stylized, but swapping it for something more delicate, graceful, and refined changes the entire look while setting the tone for this elegant and traditional affair. The sophisticated serif font balances the flourishes of the script font.
A generous layout with ample white space creates a minimalist composition that allows the custom monogram crest to stand out. The monogram features the couple’s initials and a fleur-de-lis, making it personal and elevating the look while paying homage to the location of the nuptials. Our design team crafted the custom crest based on the couple’s direction. A letterpress border is pressed into the stock, framing the entire invitation and showcasing the thickness of the paper.
Our toile pattern in lavender adds a vintage vibe to the envelope liner and beautifully complements the botanical accents that adorn the crest.

The reply card follows the same style, but features plum letterpress ink on our lilac paper, for a stylish monochrome look. The monogram crest from the invitation is replaced with a stately fleur-de-lis, providing a focal point. The Welcome Party Card features a darling watercolor illustration that highlights the location. The crest makes a second appearance on the menu, providing consistency with the invitation.

These swoon-worthy blind emboss invites are lovely, and we can’t stop thinking about them. A velvet tag and reply card, both with foil-stamping, add so much style and texture, and take this stationery suite to the next level. Rachel and Benjamin worked with our dear friend Diane of Sincerely Yours Diane to create their custom wedding stationery suite.

The look blends soft romance with a modern luxe edge. The typography is stately and traditional. There is a delicate formality to the fonts, which work together beautifully for a timeless look. Blind embossed floral artwork subtly fills in the generous blank space without overwhelming the design. Blind emboss is letterpress printing without ink, so you get the impression pushed into the paper without the color. The feel is elegant and intimate with plenty of tactile details. The botanical artwork from the invitation is digitally printed for the envelope liner. The detail gives the flowers a vintage feel and creates consistency between the invite and the liner.
Mocha velvet for the tag and reply card adds warmth and even more texture. There is a slightly western, mountain vibe to the mocha velvet, perfect for this Colorado wedding. The serif font monogram is refined and gracefully toes the line between a black-tie and ranch aesthetic.
This wedding suite is equal parts luxury celebration and western romance. It is warm and inviting, yet still black-tie formal, and we can’t get enough of it. Are you daydreaming of blind emboss invites with velvet accents? Do you want hints of Western style or a monogram tag? Work with one of our dealers to create your perfect wedding stationery suite!

A swooping, driving script font highlights the couple’s names, which are foil-stamped in champagne matte. Their venue, the Mandarin Oriental, also appears in champagne matte foil. The remaining text is letterpress-printed in charcoal ink. Generous spacing keeps everything airy and elevates the look.
Perhaps one of our favorite features of this design is the use of our 3-ply cotton paper. This paper is soft and plush, with a slight texture. It holds a clean and crisp impression, really showcasing the depth of the printing. A 45-degree bevel edge gilded in champagne matte foil further highlights the thick stock.

If you envision the invitations for a black tie wedding that is city-chic and opulent yet romantic, then Lauren and Han’s invitations are it. The couple worked with our friend Debra of Informally Yours to create their decadent wedding invitations.
Our now-retired Anastasia design served as a starting point for Lauren and Han’s invitation set. The couple opted to remove the floral accents for a more traditional look. They kept the formal layout, but swapped out the fonts, selecting a sweeping script font for their names.

Our smooth cotton paper is soft and satiny, and the bright white color is crisp, providing a sharp contrast to the navy letterpress ink. Our 3-ply paper is luxurious and holds a deep letterpress impression. The invitation is nestled within a velvet gatefold and secured with metallic silver thread.

These charming birthday party invitations are pure chef’s kiss. When our friend Colleen of Pen and Paper came to us with this design, we knew the printed cards would be amazing. While this invitation drew inspiration from our Midge save-the-date, the design took a very different yet equally creative and stunning direction.
The style is playful and has an effortlessly retro twist. One side bears ravioli-inspired artwork that is fun, whimsical, and minimalist. The other side features the text. A scalloped edge border mimics the shape of the artwork on the reverse side, creating consistency. The typography demonstrates an effortless balance between a breezy script for personality paired with simple, structured sans-serif text to keep it grounded. The soft, rounded corners reinforce that friendly, approachable feel and keep everything casual.

Warm goldenrod letterpress paired with our ivory smooth cotton paper gives the invitation a vintage sun-washed vibe, reminiscent of the Italian coast. Our luxuriously thick 3-ply paper lends the invitation a lavish, tactile component. The striped liner adds a subtle preppy touch, giving just enough pattern without overwhelming the clean layout. These birthday party invitations are casual yet curated. They are light, laid-back, and celebratory, and perfect for a gathering involving good food and good company. We hope Todd had an amazing birthday, and we are so happy to have brought this vision to life. Do you have an idea for charming birthday party invitations?

A sweet design with a touch of whimsy and a polished, refined edge has us enamored of these bridal party invitations. The coordinating menus are equally charming and feature a personalized touch for each guest. These invitations, celebrating the bride-to-be, came to us from our friends at Great Events.
A charming bee motif on the envelope’s exterior sets the tone for these garden party invitations. The honeycomb pattern grounds the design while adding a modern, geometric structure. The fresh and modern double-line arch border separates the background from the text, creating an airy, open feel. Soft florals along the bottom break up the crisp lines of the background and the rounded top of the border. The clever ‘bride to bee’ text and the bride’s name appear in a swooping script font that is both elegant and romantic and has a slightly vintage vibe.
The arch frame from the invite also appears on the menu, providing consistency between the printed pieces. This time, the garden-inspired floral artwork is transformed into a background. A die-cut shape mimics the border’s gentle curve. Each guest’s name is printed on the menu, allowing the card to serve as a placecard as well.

Angela and Corey’s wedding stationery boasts refined elegance with a metropolitan edge. The look is both glamorous and deeply personal. We worked with this lovely couple at our New York City store to create their custom NYC-inspired wedding invite and an equally charming gatefold wrap.
The invitation features our deep, rich bordeaux letterpress ink and mink matte foil on our 2-ply Smooth Cotton paper. This color combination adds warmth and drama and exudes an upscale feel. The sleek typography lends the invitation a daring, modern look, while the thin line border balances the design with a sense of formality.

The details card features digital printing on our metallic sand paper for a subtle shimmer. An illustration of the venue, The Box House Hotel, is centered at the top.
The gatefold wrap is a stunning addition to this stationery set. Line illustrations of classic NYC architecture and icons, including the venue artwork from the details card, are expertly placed to create a one-of-a-kind pattern. This pattern is foil-stamped onto the gatefold. The couple’s initials appear on the back of the gatefold for a romantic, personalized touch. The look is distinctive and full of personality. The gatefold feels like a love letter to NYC, which is the setting for Angela and Corey’s love story.
We can create custom illustrations based on your vision, or you can browse our extensive collection of motifs to find the perfect artwork for your wedding stationery.
This NYC-inspired wedding invite is full of unforgettable charm, intimate details, and iconic style. It was a pleasure to work with Angela and Corey, and we wish them the best. We would love to work with you to create your dream wedding invitations!
Delicate botanical illustrations, highlighted with foil accents and a rich, dramatic color palette, are perfectly blended into this romantic invitation set. Hannah and Clay worked with our dear friends at Needle In A Haystack to customize our Arden design.
Deep plum and muted purple tones give the invitation a vintage feel, while the copper foil accents add a layer of warmth and luxe shimmer. The asymmetrical floral framing keeps it organic and airy, creating an effortlessly chic feel.
Typography plays a huge role here; the sweeping script font for the names feels elegant and romantic. A classic serif font provides balance and keeps everything polished.

The floral toile pattern from the inspiration design appears as a border on the invitation and brunch card. The border is more organic on the brunch card, while a blind embossed double-line border separates the text from the floral artwork on the invitation. The embossed border shape of the invitation is a recreation of our Charleston die-cut, which is used for the reply card. The thick letterpress border of the reply card follows the gentle curves of the die cut and mimics the invitation’s dual-line border.
The color palette is warm and gentle. The use of a single ink color for each card in the suite is monochromatic and on trend, but it’s also simplified, approachable, and effortlessly classic. The silk ribbon tied in a bow adds a couture touch.

A mix of serif and sans-serif typography anchors the design. Generous spacing establishes a sophisticated presence, while the oversized names create a bold statement. There’s a beautiful contrast between the structure of the text and the softness of the color palette.
Our Bella Cotton paper is lush and pillowlike and holds a crisp letterpress impression, making it the perfect choice for this stationery set. All of the printing is done using an ombre fade technique with our shell and mesa letterpress inks. Shell ink appears at the top, with mesa ink at the bottom. During the printing process, the inks converge near the middle, creating a stunning and gradual transition. There is a slight variation to the fade as the cards are printed, ensuring each invitation is unique.

The details card and menu feature an identical design, which we think was an excellent choice because the look is so lovely. The illustrated coastal redwood silhouettes introduce a subtle rustic element that ties the suite to the venue, the Mighty Arrow Ranch in Occidental, California. Because the artwork is tonal, it feels elegant, setting a more atmospheric vibe.
