Elegant Die-Cut Luncheon Invitation
The invitation has a romantic, feminine, and slightly whimsical aesthetic. The scallop die-cut shape is decorative without feeling overly ornate, balancing a playful shape with delicate typography and a restrained, sophisticated color palette. This design came to us from our dear friend Olivia at Ellis Hill and is based on our now-retired Hadaway save-the-date design.

The standout feature of this thoughtfully designed invitation is the scalloped, flower-inspired die-cut shape, which gives the card a soft, organic quality. The fun yet unexpected shape creates a sense of movement. A graceful script font for the guest of honor’s name adds a vintage feel, while small, all-caps serif lettering lends a classic, formal quality.
The envelope liner adds a floral influence that feels fresh. The digitally printed pattern introduces rich, saturated color, while the fine-line floral outlines resemble vintage botanical illustrations. The pattern is printed in reverse, so the areas between the artwork are printed while the artwork remains unprinted, allowing the paper to be visible. This contrast between the bold green and the white stock gives the design visual depth without overwhelming the delicate details.
There’s a lovely interplay between traditional and contemporary elements throughout this elegant die-cut luncheon invitation. The classic typography and floral motifs feel timeless and add a vintage vibe. The unexpected die-cut shape and vivid liner make the design feel more current and on-trend, as well as distinctive.
