A soft color palette, a relaxed yet elegant font, and a playful die-cut shape make these garden party invitations modern and whimsical and perfect for a springtime afternoon spent enjoying brunch and mahjong. Debbie and Arin, the hosts, worked with our dear friend Sara of Inviting Place to create these charming letterpress invitations, complete with a custom converted envelope.

Our smooth cotton paper is pillow-soft, and using the 2-ply ensures a deep letterpress impression. The bright white stock is crisp and perfectly showcases the gentle pastel hues. The invitation is die-cut, creating scalloped edges that feel playful. The wavy edges add movement and softness, as well as a handcrafted feel. A whimsical font makes the invitation feel like a handwritten note from a friend while still retaining a sense of formality.
