Over the past several months we’ve continued printing a lot of fabulous letterpress save the dates for upcoming spring and summer 2010 weddings. Recently we printed two customizations of a save the date design that we absolutely loved and couldn’t resist sharing both with you!

This version of our Champagne letterpress save the date is printed in fuchsia and pewter inks and features corner rounding for the perfect finishing touch.

This very different version of our Champagne design is printed in wine and clover inks. It’s a perfect example of how one design can be personalized in two unique ways and be equally perfect for two very different events.

Today is an exciting day! Just a few short weeks after the launch of our new letterpress wedding invitation designs, we’re already designing and printing some really lovely customizations for couples planning their upcoming spring and summer weddings. This Bradford letterpress save the date was the first of our 2010 designs off the press and we love it! Before sharing all the details, here is a little peak at the Bradford sample design:

It’s printed in navy ink on our white paper and features chartreuse edge painting. It also comes paired with an envelope lined in navy. On the other hand, this fun customization is printed in olive ink on our ivory paper and boasts a bright fuchsia envelope liner. It’s a really fun and cheerful interpretation of our Bradford design and we can’t wait to print more!

The classic beauty of our Deveril design has long made it a favorite, and we loved the opportunity to print this version in vibrant fuchsia ink. This is a letterpress ceremony program in a tea length size, featuring all of the applicable ceremony details from order of events to wedding party information.

We had a lot of fun printing this cool letterpress wedding invitation, our Birds design printed in fuchsia ink like the original design, but with a few extra touches to make it unique.

Paired with the fuchsia ink, the letterpress invitations and reply cards feature edge painting in plum and a custom patterned envelope liner printed in plum. We also printed fun double-sided custom letterpress coasters to coordinate, printed in fuchsia, which we featured previously on our blog. This suite was fun, unique, and completely tailored to this couple’s event.

As promised, we have one more fun customization of our Dewdrop letterpress wedding invitation design to share this week. This unique customization, printed for a wedding in Hawaii, makes the most of bright tropical colors perfect for this wedding held on the island of Maui. The letterpress invitation itself features the same vibrant spring green and garden inks of the original design, but plays with pairing our Salzburg script font with the clean lines of a simple sans serif font. The letterpress reply card, printed in punchy shades of papaya and fuchsia, really plays up the tropical feel and sets the stage for a celebration in the Hawaiian islands. Using two different ink colors for the reply card is also a really fun and festive way to work four ink colors into a design and add a personal touch to your letterpress wedding invitations. Have we mentioned before how much we love Dewdrop? Because we really really love seeing how couples make this design their own and getting the opportunity to print so many cool variations.

We printed these festive letterpress invitations for the rehearsal dinner of Jo and Jared for their New York City wedding. In our Buttonpom design, they are festively printed in navy and fuchsia inks and are a bit informal, but a whole lot festive – perfect for a rehearsal dinner celebration! We can think of no better way to invite your friends and family to join you for dinner and merriment than with a fun letterpress rehearsal dinner invitation. These are officially a new favorite!

Custom letterpress coasters are among our favorite things to print. There is truly no better way to add a special, unexpected and unique touch to your wedding, anniversary party or fiesta than with gorgeous letterpress coasters. We love when couples incorporate a special monogram or recipes for signature cocktails, but they’re equally as fun when printed with motifs to match their letterpress wedding invitations. If you’re looking for that perfect way to infuse your event with personal flair, letterpress coasters are a must have.

Printed in one color letterpress in our dusty pink ink, these coasters perfectly coordinate with the couple’s Pavilion letterpress wedding invitations for their glamorous nuptials in Indonesia. They are both chic and oh so pretty.

These two-sided letterpress coasters are printed in fuchsia ink and feature the same design as the couple’s Birds letterpress wedding invitations. Along with a recipe for the signature cocktail served at their wedding, the back of the coaster also features the custom pattern used for their envelope liners – a perfectly coordinated and really fun way to personalize their event.

These letterpress coasters feature a custom hand calligraphy monogram, making them truly one of a kind. Printed in cardinal ink, they could be equally as special for an anniversary party or graduation celebration as for a wedding.

Circolo 1 is one of our favorite designs, but we especially love it when printed as a great letterpress coaster. Printed here in antique gold ink, this coaster is nothing short of modern and hip, again featuring a recipe for the couple’s signature cocktail. When we print great coasters like this, we know our couples’ guests are in for a real treat!

Excuse us if we gush about the colors of this letterpress wedding invitation (in the Somersby invitation design) but — we are in love with these colors! The inks are perfect and stylish and sophsticated shades of pink: papaya & fuchsia that play off each other and interact in this lovely way. And check out the reply card – mainly papaya, but with a line of fuchsia (wow!). Monochrome colors will be a hot wedding trend for 2009, we’re predicting. You choose a color, then choose shades of those colors, and then everything looks perfect together. Monochrome colors offer a clean, eye-pleasing look, and make choosing flowers, decor, and even bridesmaid dresses easier (choose any shade of pink, for instance!). Monochrome letterpress wedding invitations are (trust us) also very, very pretty. Enjoy!
