We are delighted to share these Joie de Vivre (by Kamal) letterpress wedding invitations submitted to us by our friends at Judy Paulen Designs in New York, NY.  This stylish set definitely has a cutting-edge vibe. We feel that the perfect pairing of mediterranean and pale gray inks is out of this world.  We think you will agree that this design lives up to its name-as the French phrase, “Joie de Vivre” translates to “a carefree enjoyment of life.” This set is customized with fuchsia edge paint and a stellar envelope liner to match!

Take one last splash into summer with these deep sea inspired Nautilus (by Beth Ann Seal) letterpress wedding invitations.  The adorable seahorse icon was featured on all of the pieces-which shows how much you can truly customize your set.  The couple took advantage of our free favor card promotion (read more about our favor card promotion here) and had the most adorable favor cards as part of their set.  The classic color mediterranean envelope liner completes their theme!  We can just close our eyes and see the waterfront and feel the sand between our toes!
