Our Nantucket letterpress wedding invitation design is a favorite with our brides and grooms and it is easy to see why – it’s just so elegant and sophisticated, perfect for weddings of many styles. Recently we had the chance to print these letterpress reception menus and letterpress table numbers and just love how elegant and timeless they are.

Printed in Cloud 9 and black inks, the letterpress reception menus feature Spencerian hand calligraphy accents paired with a classic serif font for a look that is formal elegance at its best.

We love the touch of class and luxury letterpress reception menus and table numbers add to an event and these are right up there among our recent favorites.

And a really fabulous dress from Claire Pettibone that was soft, shimmery and ethereal.
