			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Are you looking for affordable letterpress wedding invitations? Look no further &#8211; our invitation designs can be customized to fit within a budget. Not sure where to start? We selected 15 of our <a title="2012 design gallery" href="http://www.bellafigura.com/letterpress-wedding-invitations.html#ajax=true&amp;feature=2012-designs" target="_blank">new 2012 letterpress invitation designs</a> and provided pricing for 3 popular quantity tiers. Find out which price point will work for you depending on how many invitations you&#8217;ll need. Keep in mind, 75 invitations traditionally leads to 150 guests, 125=250 guests, and so on!</p>
<p><strong><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-7794" title="75invitations-under$1500" src="http://www.bellafigura.com/letterpress-inspiration/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/75invitations-under1500.jpg" alt="Pricing ideas from Bella Figura for an order of 75 letterpress invitations for under $1500" width="700" height="851" /><br />
</strong></p>
<p>In love with <a href="http://www.bellafigura.com/letterpress/vintage-charm.html">Vintage Charm</a>? Why not order invitations that are 1 color letterpress printed on 1-ply paper with edge painting in one of your favorite ink colors? You can include reply postcards that are 1 color letterpress on 1-ply paper with outer envelopes (letterpress printed with your return address in 1 color and lined) for <strong>$1,335</strong>.</p>
<p>If your wedding won&#8217;t be complete without the <a href="http://www.bellafigura.com/letterpress/la-salle.html">La Salle</a> design, you can order invitations and reply cards both in 1 color letterpress on 1-ply paper, along with 1 color printed outer envelopes  and reply envelopes for only <strong>$1,045</strong>.</p>
<p>Our <a href="http://www.bellafigura.com/letterpress/gotham.html">Gotham</a> design is modern and refined. You can keep the invitation looking sleek by letterpress printing it in 2 colors on our 1-ply paper but make the rest of the set 1 color: choose a 1 color, 1-ply reply card, outer envelopes and reply envelopes (both printed in 1 color letterpress) for a total of <strong>$1,180</strong>.</p>
<p>If you are looking to mix <a href="https://www.bellafigura.com/letterpress/customize/letterpress.html">letterpress</a> and <a href="https://www.bellafigura.com/letterpress/customize/foil-stamping.html">foil stamping</a> but you are on a budget, try this option! Order our <a href="http://www.bellafigura.com/letterpress/amadore-antique.html">Amadore Antique</a> invitations with 1 color letterpress and 1 color foil on 1-ply paper, and then add foil edging! It gets better &#8211; a website card that can direct your guests to rsvp via email or your wedding website printed in 1 color foil, on 1-ply cotton paper will eliminate the need for a reply envelope (and extra postage!), so you&#8217;ll only need outer envelopes with 1 color letterpress printing. This set rings in at just <strong>$1,310</strong>.</p>
<p>Are calligraphy wedding invitations one of your &#8220;must-haves&#8221;? Pick one of our newest calligrapher’s <a href="http://www.bellafigura.com/letterpress/mitty-calligraphy.html">Mitty Calligraphy</a> design! Order invitations in 1 color letterpress, on our luxuriously thick 2-ply paper. Choose an A6 sized direction card that includes wedding details and a website for an electronic rsvp that is 1 color letterpress and opt for 1-ply paper. Lastly, choose outer envelopes that are both letterpress printed in 1 color and embellished with a chic envelope liner for only <strong>$1,435</strong>.<span id="more-7566"></span></p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-7795" title="125invitations-under$1500-light" src="http://www.bellafigura.com/letterpress-inspiration/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/125invitations-under1500-light.jpg" alt="5 ways to order 125 letterpress invitations for under $1500 from Bella FIgura " width="700" height="870" /></p>
<p>For a modern, trendy look choose our <a href="http://www.bellafigura.com/letterpress/classic-chevron.html">Classic Chevron</a> invitation. Select invitations that are letterpress printed in 2 inks on our 2-ply cotton paper, and keep the rest of the suite streamlined with a 1 color, 1-ply paper reply postcard and 1 color outer envelopes. <strong>$1,490</strong>.</p>
<p>Our <a href="http://www.bellafigura.com/letterpress/santa-fe.html">Santa Fe</a> invitation is trendy and elegant, so why not order invitations that are 2 color letterpress on 1-ply paper to show off the fantastic design elements? Add a 1-color reply card (on 1-ply paper) and don’t forget envelopes! Select outer + reply envelopes in 1 color letterpress to complete the set, and your grand total will be <strong>$1,390</strong>.</p>
<p>Love calligraphy? Our gorgeous <a href="http://www.bellafigura.com/letterpress/hayes-calligraphy.html">Hayes Calligraphy</a> is breathtaking. Order invitations and reply cards in 1 color letterpress on 1-ply paper, and select 1 color letterpress outer &amp; reply envelopes to complete the traditional look for just <strong>$1,415</strong>.</p>
<p>Make a bold choice with our <a href="http://www.bellafigura.com/letterpress/bold-stripe.html">Bold Stripe</a> design. Pick invitations that are 1 color letterpress on 1-ply paper. Go with an A6 sized information card that includes a website, accommodation information and RSVP details and have it printed in 1 color letterpress on our 1-ply cotton paper. Get your envelopes letterpress printed in 1 color, and your suite will total up to just <strong>$1205</strong>.</p>
<p>The <a href="http://www.bellafigura.com/letterpress/traditional-script.html">Traditional Script</a> design is a definite show stopper: it shows off both letterpress + foil for a design that is formal yet unique. Mix and match invitations in 1 color letterpress and 1 color foil on 1-ply paper. Use a website card that is 1 color letterpress, on 1-ply paper and make the outer envelopes shine in 1 color foil. Yes you can fit foil and letterpress into your budget for only <strong>$1,315</strong>.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-7796" title="175invitations-under$1500" src="http://www.bellafigura.com/letterpress-inspiration/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/175invitations-under1500.jpg" alt="Bella Figura's tips for making 175 invitation sets fit into your budget of $1500 and under" width="700" height="825" /></p>
<p>Simplify our <a href="http://www.bellafigura.com/letterpress/divya-formal.html">Divya Formal</a> and make it a 1 color foil invitation with a 1 color letterpress website card. Print everything on 1-ply paper and have your outer envelopes letterpressed in 1 color for only <strong>$1,315</strong>.</p>
<p>Our stunning <a href="http://www.bellafigura.com/letterpress/revival-calligraphy.html">Revival Calligraphy</a> can be made a reality by choosing invitations and reply cards in 1 color letterpress on our soft, 1-ply cotton paper. Have your outer envelopes letterpress printed in 1 color and your set will total up to<strong> $1,340</strong>.</p>
<p>Make a statement with our <a href="http://www.bellafigura.com/letterpress/byzantine.html">Byzantine</a> design. Select invitations and reply postcards in 1 color letterpress, and have your pieces printed on our 1-ply paper. Round off the set with outer envelopes in 1 color for <strong>$1,390</strong>.</p>
<p>Our edgy <a href="http://www.bellafigura.com/letterpress/fugue.html">Fugue</a> design is not for the faint of heart. If you want a design that packs a punch then this is the design for you! Choose invitations that are foil stamped in 2 colors for maximum contrast on our 1-ply paper. Seal the deal with outer envelopes foil stamped in 1 color for <strong>$1,350</strong>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Our latest letterpress <a href="http://bellafig.createsend1.com/t/y/l/yhitkuy/l/jr/">wedding invitation release</a> was full of many <a href="http://bellafig.createsend1.com/t/y/l/yhitkuy/l/jy/">modern gems</a>, but today we&#8217;re sharing the top 6 modern invitations so far from 2012. We&#8217;ve noticed neon shows its pretty little head in a sophisticated way (or think about neon edge painting on a very formal invite!). Black ink on a modern letterpress design keeps things formal while still feeling new. Foil, of course, is on the list &#8212; we are especially loving double foil (think matte silver and shiny silver, or silver paired with gold). You&#8217;ll find names in oversized fonts, along with slightly untraditional text layout and minimal design. Want to see more? Check out all of our <a href="http://bellafig.createsend1.com/t/y/l/yhitkuy/l/jj/">modern wedding invitations here</a>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a title="Before &amp; after part 1" href="http://www.bellafigura.com/letterpress-inspiration/2012/01/bella-figuras-2012-letterpress-invitation-designs-before-and-after/" target="_blank">Last week</a> we showed you a look at some of our new 2012 letterpress invitation designs before and after they were customized, and this week we&#8217;re back with more design transformations! We&#8217;ve redone 5 of our favorite new modern invitation designs to show you just how much different an invitation can look with a color change, new fonts, and some design adjustments.</p>
<p><a title="Neo Luna" href="http://www.bellafigura.com/letterpress/neo-luna.html" target="_blank">Neo Luna </a>by Ian Koenig is charming and simple in the original design, but takes on a bolder look with a font change, added color and silver shine foil stamping. <strong><br />
Suggested embellishments: </strong>We think this design would look stunning with surf edge painting and a colorful envelope liner in the sea stripes pattern, printed in surf, marigold and mesa inks.<br />
<strong><em>Details: </em></strong><em>letterpress ink: surf | foil stamping: silver shine | fonts: ollie + swiss | paper: bella cotton white 2-ply | size: f-8 | rounded corners<br />
</em></p>
<p><a href="http://www.bellafigura.com/letterpress/neo-luna.html"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-7731" title="Bella Figura Neo Luna" src="http://www.bellafigura.com/letterpress-inspiration/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/neo-luna-2up-011.jpg" alt="A before &amp; after look at one of Bella Figura's 2012 designs, Neo Luna" width="700" height="500" /></a></p>
<p>The <a title="Drawing Room" href="http://www.bellafigura.com/letterpress/drawing-room.html" target="_blank">Drawing Room</a> design by in-house designer Sarah Walroth features fresh new fonts and a custom pocket-fold, but takes on a more whimsical look after a bit of customizing. We love this design as a square invitation with corner rounding, along with a playful font and fuchsia ink for the names.<br />
<strong>Suggested embellishments:</strong> A white cotton pocketfold, letterpress printed with prussian blue ink and a blue pearl metallic envelope liner would add the perfect amount of shine to this pretty invitation set.<br />
<em><strong>Details: </strong>letterpress inks: fuchsia + prussian blue | fonts: saint-andrew + lady rene | paper: bella cotton white 2-ply | size: sq-7 for pocketfold | pocketfold: white,  letterpressed in prussian blue ink</em></p>
<p><a href="http://www.bellafigura.com/letterpress/drawing-room.html"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-7729" title="Bella Figura Drawing Room" src="http://www.bellafigura.com/letterpress-inspiration/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/drawing-room-2up-011.jpg" alt="A before &amp; after look at Drawing Room, one of Sarah Walroth's new designs for Bella Figura for 2012" width="700" height="500" /></a></p>
<p>Ellie Snow designed the <a title="Classic Chevron" href="http://www.bellafigura.com/letterpress/classic-chevron.html" target="_blank">Classic Chevron</a> invitation, which features on-trend chevron patterning, two lines of Belle <a title="hand calligraphy" href="http://www.bellafigura.com/letterpress/customize/calligraphy.html" target="_blank">hand calligraphy</a>, and pretty sea-side and jade letterpress inks. The switch of jade ink to mustard and the repositioning of the chevron pattern gives this design customization a retro feel with a modern twist.<br />
<strong>Suggested embellishments: </strong>A pretty <a title="custom postage" href="http://www.bellafigura.com/letterpress/customize/custom-postage-stamps.html" target="_blank">custom postage stamp</a> along with a custom envelope liner featuring the sweet polka pattern in mustard + sea-side inks would be lovely accents for this wedding invitation.<br />
<em><strong>Details: </strong>letterpress inks: mustard + sea-side | fonts: sans capitals + hollow | paper: bella cotton white 2-ply | size: f-8 </em><a href="http://www.bellafigura.com/letterpress/classic-chevron.html"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-7728" title="Bella Figura Classic Chevron" src="http://www.bellafigura.com/letterpress-inspiration/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/classic-cheveron-2up-011.jpg" alt="A before and after look at Classic Chevron, one of Bella Figura's new designs for 2012" width="700" height="500" /></a><span id="more-6995"></span></p>
<p>Kamal&#8217;s <a title="New Washi" href="http://www.bellafigura.com/letterpress/new-washi.html" target="_blank">New Washi</a> design goes from playful to sophisticated with a few simple changes: new ink colors give the invite a more subtle, formal look (and the all-over positioning of the washi pattern in cream provides an elegant, patterned effect) and the use of hand calligraphy makes for a romantic touch.<em><strong><br />
</strong></em><strong>Suggested embellishments: </strong>We think a metallic bronze envelope liner along with <a title="calligraphy addressing" href="http://www.bellafigura.com/letterpress/customize/calligraphy-addressing.html" target="_blank">hand calligraphy addressing</a> by Maybelle would tie this set together beautifully.<strong><br />
</strong><em><strong>Details: </strong>letterpress inks: cream + espresso | fonts: henry | paper: bella cotton white 2-ply | size: f-8 | rounded corners | hand calligraphy accents: gigi style<br />
</em></p>
<p><a href="http://www.bellafigura.com/letterpress/new-washi.html"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-7732" title="Bella Figura New Washi" src="http://www.bellafigura.com/letterpress-inspiration/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/new-washi-2up-011.jpg" alt="A before and after look at the new Bella Figura design &quot;New Washi&quot; by Kamal, an invitation design based on washi tape. " width="700" height="500" /></a></p>
<p><a title="Indie Twill" href="http://www.bellafigura.com/letterpress/indie-twill.html" target="_blank">Indie Twill</a>, a new design by Jamie Lea Bertsch, is a modern invitation which features a subtle, textile-inspired pattern. The invitation takes on a new look when the size and design placement are switched up. Pale gray and black inks make the original design a bit formal, but olive and sea mist inks make this design perfect for a more laid-back affair.<br />
<strong>Suggested embellishments: </strong>An envelope liner in our elegant ombre pattern printed in sea mist ink would complement these invitations beautifully.<br />
<em><strong> Details: </strong>letterpress inks: olive + sea mist | fonts: ruby + hollow | paper: bella cotton white 2-ply | size: f-8<br />
</em></p>
<p><a href="http://www.bellafigura.com/letterpress/indie-twill.html"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-7730" title="Bella Figura Indie Twill" src="http://www.bellafigura.com/letterpress-inspiration/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/indie-twill-2up-011.jpg" alt="A before &amp; after look at the Bella Figura design Indie Twill, new for 2012" width="700" height="500" /></a></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We tend to focus a lot on all the lovely wedding invites we create around here, but truth be told we also print a TON of Bar and Bat Mitzvah invitations (and they&#8217;re always a blast!).  We can adapt any of our invite designs into a Bar/Bat invite very easily by changing up the wording, adding Hebrew characters, or &#8211; as is the case with this <a href="http://www.bellafigura.com/letterpress/amici.html">Amici</a> (from designer <a href="http://www.bellafigura.com/designers/koenig.html">Ian Koenig</a>) customization, by adding a small star of David from our <a href="http://www.bellafigura.com/letterpress/customize/wedding-motifs.html#tab:objects">motif library</a>.  Loving the simple beauty of this one.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Our <a href="http://www.bellafigura.com/letterpress/harbor-beach.html">Harbor Beach</a> design (by <a href="http://www.bellafigura.com/designers/tierney.html">Jessica Tierney</a>) looks ultra modern in this letterpress wedding invitation submitted by our friends, <a href="http://francisorr.com/">Francis Orr</a> in Corona del Mar, California.  The color combination of sand and charcoal inks are so subtle, yet crisp. The anchor motif is replaced with a simple monogram and repeated throughout the suite. Charcoal grounds this set from the <a href="http://www.bellafigura.com/letterpress/customize/edge-painting.html">edge painting</a> to the solid <a href="http://www.bellafigura.com/letterpress/customize/envelope-lining.html">envelope liner</a>. We love the beauty and simplicity that makes the letterpress printing shine.</p>
<p>inks: charcoal + sand | fonts: holden + aurora  | paper: 1-ply white  | invite size: SQ7 for inner envelope  | liner: classic color pattern in charcoal ink | edge painting: charcoal | client coordinator: christie jones | in-house designer: racheal decker</p>

	<p>Are you looking for affordable letterpress wedding invitations? Look no further &#8211; our invitation designs can be customized to fit within a budget. Not sure where to start? We selected 15 of our <a title="2012 design gallery" href="http://www.bellafigura.com/letterpress-wedding-invitations.html#ajax=true&amp;feature=2012-designs" target="_blank">new 2012 letterpress invitation designs</a> and provided pricing for 3 popular quantity tiers. Find out which price point will work for you depending on how many invitations you&#8217;ll need. Keep in mind, 75 invitations traditionally leads to 150 guests, 125=250 guests, and so on!</p>
<p><strong><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-7794" title="75invitations-under$1500" src="http://www.bellafigura.com/letterpress-inspiration/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/75invitations-under1500.jpg" alt="Pricing ideas from Bella Figura for an order of 75 letterpress invitations for under $1500" width="700" height="851" /><br />
</strong></p>
<p>In love with <a href="http://www.bellafigura.com/letterpress/vintage-charm.html">Vintage Charm</a>? Why not order invitations that are 1 color letterpress printed on 1-ply paper with edge painting in one of your favorite ink colors? You can include reply postcards that are 1 color letterpress on 1-ply paper with outer envelopes (letterpress printed with your return address in 1 color and lined) for <strong>$1,335</strong>.</p>
<p>If your wedding won&#8217;t be complete without the <a href="http://www.bellafigura.com/letterpress/la-salle.html">La Salle</a> design, you can order invitations and reply cards both in 1 color letterpress on 1-ply paper, along with 1 color printed outer envelopes  and reply envelopes for only <strong>$1,045</strong>.</p>
<p>Our <a href="http://www.bellafigura.com/letterpress/gotham.html">Gotham</a> design is modern and refined. You can keep the invitation looking sleek by letterpress printing it in 2 colors on our 1-ply paper but make the rest of the set 1 color: choose a 1 color, 1-ply reply card, outer envelopes and reply envelopes (both printed in 1 color letterpress) for a total of <strong>$1,180</strong>.</p>
<p>If you are looking to mix <a href="https://www.bellafigura.com/letterpress/customize/letterpress.html">letterpress</a> and <a href="https://www.bellafigura.com/letterpress/customize/foil-stamping.html">foil stamping</a> but you are on a budget, try this option! Order our <a href="http://www.bellafigura.com/letterpress/amadore-antique.html">Amadore Antique</a> invitations with 1 color letterpress and 1 color foil on 1-ply paper, and then add foil edging! It gets better &#8211; a website card that can direct your guests to rsvp via email or your wedding website printed in 1 color foil, on 1-ply cotton paper will eliminate the need for a reply envelope (and extra postage!), so you&#8217;ll only need outer envelopes with 1 color letterpress printing. This set rings in at just <strong>$1,310</strong>.</p>
<p>Are calligraphy wedding invitations one of your &#8220;must-haves&#8221;? Pick one of our newest calligrapher’s <a href="http://www.bellafigura.com/letterpress/mitty-calligraphy.html">Mitty Calligraphy</a> design! Order invitations in 1 color letterpress, on our luxuriously thick 2-ply paper.

	<p>Our latest letterpress <a href="http://bellafig.createsend1.com/t/y/l/yhitkuy/l/jr/">wedding invitation release</a> was full of many <a href="http://bellafig.createsend1.com/t/y/l/yhitkuy/l/jy/">modern gems</a>, but today we&#8217;re sharing the top 6 modern invitations so far from 2012. We&#8217;ve noticed neon shows its pretty little head in a sophisticated way (or think about neon edge painting on a very formal invite!). Black ink on a modern letterpress design keeps things formal while still feeling new. Foil, of course, is on the list &#8212; we are especially loving double foil (think matte silver and shiny silver, or silver paired with gold). You&#8217;ll find names in oversized fonts, along with slightly untraditional text layout and minimal design. Want to see more? Check out all of our <a href="http://bellafig.createsend1.com/t/y/l/yhitkuy/l/jj/">modern wedding invitations here</a>.</p>

	<p><a title="Before &amp; after part 1" href="http://www.bellafigura.com/letterpress-inspiration/2012/01/bella-figuras-2012-letterpress-invitation-designs-before-and-after/" target="_blank">Last week</a> we showed you a look at some of our new 2012 letterpress invitation designs before and after they were customized, and this week we&#8217;re back with more design transformations! We&#8217;ve redone 5 of our favorite new modern invitation designs to show you just how much different an invitation can look with a color change, new fonts, and some design adjustments.</p>
<p><a title="Neo Luna" href="http://www.bellafigura.com/letterpress/neo-luna.html" target="_blank">Neo Luna </a>by Ian Koenig is charming and simple in the original design, but takes on a bolder look with a font change, added color and silver shine foil stamping. <strong><br />
Suggested embellishments: </strong>We think this design would look stunning with surf edge painting and a colorful envelope liner in the sea stripes pattern, printed in surf, marigold and mesa inks.<br />
<strong><em>Details: </em></strong><em>letterpress ink: surf | foil stamping: silver shine | fonts: ollie + swiss | paper: bella cotton white 2-ply | size: f-8 | rounded corners<br />
</em></p>
<p><a href="http://www.bellafigura.com/letterpress/neo-luna.html"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-7731" title="Bella Figura Neo Luna" src="http://www.bellafigura.com/letterpress-inspiration/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/neo-luna-2up-011.jpg" alt="A before &amp; after look at one of Bella Figura's 2012 designs, Neo Luna" width="700" height="500" /></a></p>
<p>The <a title="Drawing Room" href="http://www.bellafigura.com/letterpress/drawing-room.html" target="_blank">Drawing Room</a> design by in-house designer Sarah Walroth features fresh new fonts and a custom pocket-fold, but takes on a more whimsical look after a bit of customizing. We love this design as a square invitation with corner rounding, along with a playful font and fuchsia ink for the names.<br />
<strong>Suggested embellishments:</strong> A white cotton pocketfold, letterpress printed with prussian blue ink and a blue pearl metallic envelope liner would add the perfect amount of shine to this pretty invitation set.<br />
<em><strong>Details: </strong>letterpress inks: fuchsia + prussian blue | fonts: saint-andrew + lady rene | paper: bella cotton white 2-ply | size: sq-7 for pocketfold | pocketfold: white,  letterpressed in prussian blue ink</em></p>

<p>Ellie Snow designed the <a title="Classic Chevron" href="http://www.bellafigura.com/letterpress/classic-chevron.html" target="_blank">Classic Chevron</a> invitation, which features on-trend chevron patterning, two lines of Belle <a title="hand calligraphy" href="http://www.bellafigura.com/letterpress/customize/calligraphy.html" target="_blank">hand calligraphy</a>, and pretty sea-side and jade letterpress inks. The switch of jade ink to mustard and the repositioning of the chevron pattern gives this design customization a retro feel with a modern twist.<br />
<strong>Suggested embellishments: </strong>A pretty <a title="custom postage" href="http://www.bellafigura.com/letterpress/customize/custom-postage-stamps.html" target="_blank">custom postage stamp</a> along with a custom envelope liner featuring the sweet polka pattern in mustard + sea-side inks would be lovely accents for this wedding invitation.<br />
<em><strong>Details: </strong>letterpress inks: mustard + sea-side | fonts: sans capitals + hollow | paper: bella cotton white 2-ply | size: f-8 </em><a href="http://www.bellafigura.com/letterpress/classic-chevron.html"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-7728" title="Bella Figura Classic Chevron" src="http://www.bellafigura.com/letterpress-inspiration/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/classic-cheveron-2up-011.jpg" alt="A before and after look at Classic Chevron, one of Bella Figura's new designs for 2012" width="700" height="500" /></a><span id="more-6995"></span></p>
<p>Kamal&#8217;s <a title="New Washi" href="http://www.bellafigura.com/letterpress/new-washi.html" target="_blank">New Washi</a> design goes from playful to sophisticated with a few simple changes: new ink colors give the invite a more subtle, formal look (and the all-over positioning of the washi pattern in cream provides an elegant, patterned effect) and the use of hand calligraphy makes for a romantic touch.<em><strong><br />
</strong></em><strong>Suggested embellishments: </strong>We think a metallic bronze envelope liner along with <a title="calligraphy addressing" href="http://www.bellafigura.com/letterpress/customize/calligraphy-addressing.html" target="_blank">hand calligraphy addressing</a> by Maybelle would tie this set together beautifully.<strong><br />
</strong><em><strong>Details: </strong>letterpress inks: cream + espresso | fonts: henry | paper: bella cotton white 2-ply | size: f-8 | rounded corners | hand calligraphy accents: gigi style<br />
</em></p>
<p><a href="http://www.bellafigura.com/letterpress/new-washi.html"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-7732" title="Bella Figura New Washi" src="http://www.bellafigura.com/letterpress-inspiration/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/new-washi-2up-011.jpg" alt="A before and after look at the new Bella Figura design &quot;New Washi&quot; by Kamal, an invitation design based on washi tape. " width="700" height="500" /></a></p>
<p><a title="Indie Twill" href="http://www.bellafigura.com/letterpress/indie-twill.html" target="_blank">Indie Twill</a>, a new design by Jamie Lea Bertsch, is a modern invitation which features a subtle, textile-inspired pattern. The invitation takes on a new look when the size and design placement are switched up. Pale gray and black inks make the original design a bit formal, but olive and sea mist inks make this design perfect for a more laid-back affair.<br />
<strong>Suggested embellishments: </strong>An envelope liner in our elegant ombre pattern printed in sea mist ink would complement these invitations beautifully.<br />

	<p>We tend to focus a lot on all the lovely wedding invites we create around here, but truth be told we also print a TON of Bar and Bat Mitzvah invitations (and they&#8217;re always a blast!).  We can adapt any of our invite designs into a Bar/Bat invite very easily by changing up the wording, adding Hebrew characters, or &#8211; as is the case with this <a href="http://www.bellafigura.com/letterpress/amici.html">Amici</a> (from designer <a href="http://www.bellafigura.com/designers/koenig.html">Ian Koenig</a>) customization, by adding a small star of David from our <a href="http://www.bellafigura.com/letterpress/customize/wedding-motifs.html#tab:objects">motif library</a>.  Loving the simple beauty of this one.</p>

	<p>Our <a href="http://www.bellafigura.com/letterpress/harbor-beach.html">Harbor Beach</a> design (by <a href="http://www.bellafigura.com/designers/tierney.html">Jessica Tierney</a>) looks ultra modern in this letterpress wedding invitation submitted by our friends, <a href="http://francisorr.com/">Francis Orr</a> in Corona del Mar, California.  The color combination of sand and charcoal inks are so subtle, yet crisp. The anchor motif is replaced with a simple monogram and repeated throughout the suite. Charcoal grounds this set from the <a href="http://www.bellafigura.com/letterpress/customize/edge-painting.html">edge painting</a> to the solid <a href="http://www.bellafigura.com/letterpress/customize/envelope-lining.html">envelope liner</a>. We love the beauty and simplicity that makes the letterpress printing shine.</p>
<p>inks: charcoal + sand | fonts: holden + aurora  | paper: 1-ply white  | invite size: SQ7 for inner envelope  | liner: classic color pattern in charcoal ink | edge painting: charcoal | client coordinator: christie jones | in-house designer: racheal decker</p>
