The typography is the star of these contemporary blind emboss wedding invitations. It is modern and fun yet still traditional and perfect for a formal wedding. Dara and Charles worked with our dear friend Melissa of Paper Parfait to customize our Neville design for their nuptials held at Valley Rock Inn & Mountain Club in Sloatsburg, NY.

The couple’s names appear in Sophia, an ornate script font that boasts charming flourishes and a flowing form. Each name is aligned independently, creating a cascading wave. The look juxtaposes the formality of the script font with a contemporary layout. The names are blind embossed, a technique that creates a raised impression. The raised detail further highlights the curves of the script font and contrasts the letterpress impression of the supporting text.

A custom envelope elevates and complements the invitation design. The velvet envelope liner features a custom die-cut scallop edge to mimic the layout of the bride and groom’s names on the invitation. The asparagus velvet introduces a whisper of serene color.

The details card borrows the same script font and formatting as the invitation, and the asparagus velvet and scalloped die-cut shape from the envelope liner, resulting in a fun, whimsical card.

The rehearsal dinner invitation is elegant and adheres to the theme. The swooping font and off-kilter layout add character, while the contrast with the serif font adds an element of grandeur and restraint. To prepare for mailing, the cards were stacked in order of size, with the largest, the invitation, on the bottom and secured with metallic thread, ensuring a lovely presentation.
