Elegant Letterpress and Foil Wedding Invitations

Letterpress and Foil Wedding Invitations

Natalie and Benjamin chose our Mirabella design for the nuptials, which was a perfect choice for their big day. The couple worked with our NYC store to create their letterpress and foil wedding invitations, and the results are stunning.

The grandiose invitation design perfectly set the tone for Natalie and Benjamin’s wedding, which was held at the St. Regis New York. This iconic venue is an excellent example of Beaux Arts architecture, and the extravagant foil-stamped frame of the invitation beautifully coordinates with the venue. The venue even made an appearance on the custom envelope liner. An illustration of the St. Regis New York appears in antique gold digital printing on the liner.

Blind Emboss Bridal Shower Invitation

Blind Emboss Invitation

This darling blind emboss bridal shower invitation came to us from our friend Lindsay at Invite Me Invitations. The design is inspired by our now-retired Hazel save the date. The delicate floral artwork appears as blind embossing, while the text appears in spruce letterpress printing.

Letterpress Bridal Shower Invitation

Specifications

  • letterpress ink: spruce
  • embossing: blind
  • fonts: optima + antique
  • paper: bella cotton white 2-ply
  • card size: a-6
  • liner: hazel pattern in spruce + cypress
  • envelope: pointed flap white cotton text
  • digital envelope addressing: spruce digital on the front and the back
  • job: 75311

Embossing is a printing technique that creates a raised impression. The embossing for this design does not feature ink, so the raised artwork stands above the texture of the paper. The impression of the floral artwork is crisp, yet subtle. All of the text appears in spruce letterpress. Letterpress printing presses into the paper, creating a depression. This bridal show invitation creates an interesting dichotomy between the raised artwork and the pressed text. The soft hue of our spruce ink maintains the gentle balance of the design.

Blind Emboss Bridal Shower Invitation

The single floral sprig on the card appears as a pattern for the envelope liner. The pattern is digitally printed in spruce for a cohesive appearance with the invitation. While the background is digitally printed in cypress, providing contrast.

Just a reminder that when we retire a design, that means we no longer maintain samples. You can still select and customize any of our retired designs; however, samples of that design are no longer available. This customization also shows how easy it is to change the application of a design. A save the date can become a blind emboss bridal shower invitation, or any type of invitation.

Our Bella smooth cotton paper in 2-ply has a smooth surface and holds a lovely letterpress impression. Holly ink paired with the ivory paper adds warmth to the design. The velvet belly band in wine wraps around the invitation, introducing texture and even more richness to the overall aesthetic.

The bride and groom sent in a custom illustration for the envelope liner, which is so charming and adds a beautiful, personal touch to the overall suite. The illustration depicts a winter scene of the couple and their beloved dog, walking through the snow to the reception venue. The liner is digitally printed in marsala ink on ivory text-weight paper. Our marsala ink beautifully coordinates with the wine velvet used for the belly band, tying everything together.

We were delighted to work with Sydney and Leland on their letterpress wedding invitation and day-of pieces, having had the pleasure of helping this couple create their stunning save the date.

Behind the Scenes with Calligraphette & Co.

We had the pleasure of chatting with Nika Smernoff at Calligraphette & Co. in Washington, DC. Nika is a calligrapher and designer with a decade of experience in the industry. Below, Nika explains how she got her start, what keeps her going, her favorite trends, and more! 

Q: Tell us about yourself and how your studio came to be? What was your inspiration?

During my first semester of graduate school in 2015, studying the relationship between pandemics and national security of all things, I found calligraphy and quickly fell in love with spending meditative evenings practicing my letters. In 2016, I started a business doing envelope calligraphy to help pay my way through school. When I received my degree in 2018, I figured I could either wonder where Calligraphette & Co. could’ve gone or jump into working for myself full-time. I had fallen in love with the wedding industry and loved the thrill of being able to see someone else’s vision and help translate it into something beautiful and tactile.

Q: What are some of the most rewarding aspects of your job?

Weddings are just such a happy time in people’s lives. My clients are figuring out how to express their love for each other and their personality as a couple for a once-in-a-lifetime celebration. In particular, I get to make people realize they’re creative, help them make something that they didn’t realize was possible, and hopefully ease a little of the stress that other parts of wedding planning can create.

Q: What are your hopes for the future of your business?

My end goal is for my clients to have an invitation tucked away somewhere in a keepsake box, to find with their children one day, and be transported 25 years back in time to when they were engaged. Whether that means curating and personalizing a Bella Figura design or creating something from scratch, I want to create heirloom pieces for people to enjoy. Not everyone wants to take on the work it takes to create custom designs, even if they have the taste for it. If I can continue to help couples send out invitations that rise to the occasion of their wedding, I’ll always consider that a success.

Q: Do you have any current trends you’re loving?

I’m loving the trend of non-rectangular inserts! Whether it’s a circle or a custom die-cut, playing with shapes is such a fun way to bring life into an invitation suite. Velvet is a trend I’m excited to try, especially with letterpress and foil printing. Although this isn’t a new trend, I’m always a fan of putting pets on wax seals! It’s a great way to give a nod to an important family member without necessarily making them the focus of the invitation suite. Lastly, I’d say custom match boxes because they’re so unexpected and also so much fun to have after the wedding!

Q: What do you think your clients enjoy most about working with you to create their event stationery?

One theme that I’ve noticed in reviews is that I always go the extra mile and put myself fully into the design process with each client, making it easy for the client and bringing their vision to life. Almost all of my clients apologize early in the process for being picky and too detail-oriented, and I always tell them that the best clients are the ones who care about the small details. I’m always happy to refine font choices and make adjustments to colors in order to have a design reflect exactly what you see in your head, even if it’s hard to describe.

Clients usually say that I was their most responsive vendor, combining warmth and professionalism to make their decisions as easy as possible. I’m also notorious for becoming good friends with my local clients, so chances are, if you’re located in DC, we’ll be grabbing a glass of prosecco after your wedding to catch up!

Q: Anything else we should know or that you would like to share?

There can be a lot of focus on how to make your wedding about other people. Don’t get me wrong. Of course, you want your guests to have a wonderful time, for your friends and family to mingle and create memories, and for the day to run smoothly. Invitations are perhaps the one aspect of your wedding where you don’t really have to consider anyone else and do just what you want. This doesn’t have to mean spending months crafting something from scratch, but getting to play with paper and colors and discuss what designs you and your fiance like is such a joyful part of the planning process. A good stationer will make it feel like fun, with minimal to no homework for you to do, providing a glimmer of ease in an otherwise email and logistics-heavy process.

Mid-Century Modern-Inspired Engagement Celebration Invitation

Engagement Celebration Invitation

This engagement celebration invitation came to us from our dear friend Mickey of the Social Type, and it’s stunning. This invitation is inspired by our Midge design, specifically the reply card. Get the details and find out how the clean lines and a geometric pattern make this invitation an homage to Mid-Century Modern design.

The invitation is the same size as the Midge invitation, a no. 10, which measures 9.19 x 3.81 inches and features rounded corners. A floral cartouche, digitally printed in goldenrod, adorns the top and bottom, coordinating with the bride- and groom-to-be’s names. The rest of the text appears in sea mist.

The couple’s initials are digitally printed on the back of the invitation in sea mist for a charming and personal touch.

Decadent Wedding Invitation with Foil Stamped Overlay

Foil Stamped Overlay

This custom wedding invitation came to us from our dear friend Candy of Where’s the Party?, and this entire set is a stunner. Remington and Joshua chose a decadent aesthetic for their California nuptials.

While this invitation is a custom design, it pulls elements from our Sibgha and Harro designs. The couple selected our Sibgha pattern for the back of the invitation. The front of the invitation is digitally printed in plum and has a very traditional yet edgy appearance. The deep, rich ink color gives the invitation a decadent look. The invitation is complemented by a vellum overlay, featuring our Harro pattern in rose gold foil. The overlay is a luxurious touch to the already elegant invitation. The Harro pattern makes a second appearance as the envelope liner, except this time it is digitally printed. The plum envelope perfectly coordinates with the plum letterpress ink on the invitation.

The reverse side (not shown) does not feature a digital flood, creating contrast between the sides. The text appears in plum on both sides of the details card. Lastly, the welcome party card features white digital printing on our holly 1-ply paper. The white text provides sharp contrast and easy legibility, while the dark green paper adds to the moody vibe of this decadent wedding invitation set.

The bride and groom’s names appear in holly letterpress with the remaining text appearing in spruce letterpress. A single pine branch accent appears in blind emboss. Embossing is a printing technique that utilizes heat and pressure to create a raised design. The absence of ink, known as blind emboss, emphasizes the paper, adding a subtle texture.

NYC Skyline Wedding Invitation

Skyline Wedding Invitation

Joanna and Jason’s invitations came to us from our dear friend Donna of Designs by Donna. This customization of our Bright Lights design has a definite New York City vibe. See more and find out how this NYC skyline wedding invitation highlights this couple and the Big Apple.

One font is used throughout the design for consistency. The bride and groom’s names appear in vine letterpress ink while the remaining text appears in clover ink. This design choice highlights the bride and groom’s names and coordinates with the artwork at the bottom of the invitation. The NYC skyline appears as a continuous line-inspired artwork in vine letterpress. The artwork stretches completely across the bottom of the invitation. The Statue of Liberty artwork also appears on the reply card, creating a cohesive feel across both printed pieces. 

Skyline Wedding Invitation

The skyline is a fitting choice for this NYC couple, and it is even more appropriate given that the wedding was held at Liberty Warehouse in Brooklyn. Many of the landmarks noted in the line drawing are visible from the venue location.

Tropical Letterpress Invitation

Tropical Letterpress Invitation

The bold, vibrant colors and fun, tropical look of our Gigi design were an excellent starting point for Madeline and Darroll’s wedding invitations. The festivities were held in the Florida Keys, so the bright colorway coupled with beachy motifs and a clamshell die-cut card set the perfect tone. Our dear friend Kristyn of Oliver’s Twist brought us this lovely tropical letterpress invitation suite.
