A new home is an exciting time, and the Martin family wanted to share the good news with their friends and family. Given the timing, they also chose to include another card conveying Easter well wishes. The family worked with our dear friend Lindsey from Mrs. Post Fine Stationery & Gifts to create a whimsical new home announcement, a thoughtful Easter card, and a lovely gatefold with custom artwork. The overall feel is soft and sentimental.

Details Card

• letterpress ink: chambray
• digital ink: cmyk
• fonts: itc galliard pro roman/italic + sophia script regular
• paper: bella smooth cotton 2-ply white
• Size: sq-5
• die cut shape: cd-654
• envelope printing: cmyk + chambray digital on the front, interior, and back flap
• custom converted envelope: white text
• envelope die: e-400 
• job: 75675

The details card shares the couple’s new address and contact information. Floral watercolor artwork hugs the gentle scallop edge. The extravagant script font beautifully coordinates with the floral border. The design is fun and fanciful. 

The announcement card features a more traditional design and shares an Easter sentiment. The airy script font makes a statement while the remaining text appears in a refined yet understated serif font that anchors the typography. The crisp letterpress border frames the text while outlining the edges of the card.

The gatefold is an absolutely charming piece that secures the cards in the envelope while also showcasing the couple’s home. An illustration of the home appears on the interior and is visible when the cards are removed. Artwork featuring the home is also printed on the exterior of the gatefold and aligned in such a way to showcase the structure when the gatefold is closed. The same floral artwork from the details card delicately cascades along the exterior fold line, framing the home when recipients remove the gatefold from the envelope.

All of these pieces have a storybook feel with charming watercolor artwork and personal touches. It was a complete joy to work on this job. Are you interested in custom stationery to commemorate a milestone and spread your good news? Do you love the concept of a gatefold that reveals a custom illustration when the panels are closed? Whatever your stationery needs, our dealers can assist you through the process to create the perfect pieces.

Gorgeous letterpress printing on handmade paper with a decadent deckle edge and some serious sun-drenched vineyard vibes ensured Nicole and Jonathan’s wedding invitations were elegant yet relaxed. The couple worked with our dear friend Jenny of Jenny’s Paper, Ink to create their custom letterpress invitations.

Clay letterpress ink on our white handmade paper is exquisite. A delicate script font highlights the couple’s names. The layout is traditional, airy, and perfect for a black-tie wedding. Amethyst metallic thread adds even more texture and hints at the details card. The reply card follows the same luxurious vibe as the invitation.

The envelope liner and details card break from the expected, but still fit the aesthetic. The digitally printed liner features a stunning sunset photo of a vineyard, tying into the wedding’s venue. The warm tones and golden glow create a strong sense of place.  

Details Card

• foil stamping: white matte
• fonts: lucia + warnock + rosella
• paper: bella lilac 1-ply
• size: 4” x 14.5” flat, 3.5” x 4” folded
• job: 75382

The details card is fun and introduces a subtle color accent without overpowering the neutral palette. The five-panel card folds compactly yet still conveys a lot of information about the rehearsal dinner, farewell brunch, transportation, and more. White matte foil stamping on our lilac paper is sophisticated and low-key glamorous.

Overall, the style blends wine country romance with elegant, relaxed luxury, creating an invitation suite that feels both polished and warmly inviting. Do you want wedding invitations with a rustic charm? Are you envisioning subtle references to the venue or region? Work with one of our dealers to create the perfect invitations that bring your vision to life.

Zachary and Priyanshi’s wedding invitations have a soft, romantic, garden-inspired elegance that sets the perfect tone for their late-summer wedding. These custom invitations came to us from our dear friend Andrea from Blacker and Kooby, and we cannot wait for you to see them.

These custom-designed invitations blend delicate botanical illustration, refined typography, and thoughtful details to create an invitation that feels fresh, graceful, and quietly luxurious. The airy floral border, made up of soft watercolor-style flowers, is the defining feature. The blooms feature pinks, blush tones, purples, and soft greens, loosely arranged to feel like a natural meadow. This look gives the design an organic, romantic aesthetic that feels light and seasonal.

An indulgent, looping font for the couple’s names is dramatic and eye-catching. The supporting text appears in a classic serif font that balances the layout and emphasizes the extravagance of the script font.

Letterpress printing in our denim ink introduces a darker tone, balancing the airiness of the digitally printed watercolor artwork. The blue-gray silk ribbon complements the color palette, adds even more tactile luxury, and serves as a lovely finishing touch.

Are you dreaming of watercolor details or swooping, looping fonts? Work with one of our dealers for their expert guidance and tips to help you design your perfect wedding invitations!

This design blends classic elements with subtle modern touches, creating something that is both timeless and fresh. Hanna and Alex worked with our dear friend Lori of Uptowne Papers to customize our now-retired Lennox design. Our designs are always available to be turned into something custom, but we no longer maintain samples once retired. So if you see something that is retired, you can still customize it for your wedding invitations.

The design puts a modern spin on the concept of a monogram by spelling out the couple’s first names. Parallel lines above and below the names break up the accompanying floral artwork. The floral artwork visually anchors the names while maintaining a neat and structured composition. The look is contemporary yet still embodies classic design elements and botanical elegance.

The typography balances formality with a graceful softness. In the invitation text, the couple’s names appear in a handwriting-inspired font, adding warmth and a personal vibe. The layout is symmetrical and utilizes generous spacing for a polished look.

Foil stamping is always stunning, but the mix of white matte foil on our metallic vista paper is lovely and sophisticated. The flat finish of the foil contrasts with the paper’s shimmer.

The envelope liner reverses the color palette of the cards and features our lilac shine foil on white text. Nothing says formal quite like a floral envelope liner, but this design continues to put a modern twist on traditional design. The enlarged floral artwork is off-center, creating a more current, on-trend feel. The liner adds a romantic garden feel without becoming overly ornate.

Do you want something modern, but still has a classic feel? Or do you like the idea of mixing matte foil and metallic paper? Whatever you dream up, we can help turn your vision into your wedding stationery. Contact us or work with one of our dealers to create your perfect wedding invitations!

Elizabeth and Mathew’s letterpress wedding invitations are classic, refined, and gorgeous with plenty of romantic undertones. The look perfectly set the tone for their scenic summer wedding. The couple worked with our friend Kristyn of Oliver’s Twist to customize our Hadaway design.

Invitation

• letterpress ink: garden
• calligraphy: custom (supplied by client)
• font: aria text
• paper: bella smooth cotton 2-ply white
• size: f-8
• envelope liner: custom pattern in cmyk digital on white text
• envelope: white cotton text pointed flap
• envelope addressing: garden digital on the back
• job: 76334

These invitations expertly balance classic formal elements, such as calligraphy and letterpress printing, with modern design and botanical charm. The flow of the calligraphy is stylish and airy, while the letterpress border framing the invitation adds a contemporary elegance. Our garden letterpress ink is fresh and perfect for a summertime affair.

Delicate florals adorn the liner in a symmetrical pattern, providing plenty of color and a traditional garden-inspired look.

Welcome Party Card

• letterpress ink: garden
• emboss: blind
• calligraphy: custom (supplied by client)
• font: aria text
• paper: bella smooth cotton 1-ply white
• size: a-5
• job: 76334

The welcome party card maintains the floral look but uses blind embossing. The floral border is more organic and less structured than the envelope liner, keeping the overall look fresh and unexpected. The raised detail contrasts with the depth of the letterpress printing, while the same ink color and graceful, agile flourishes of the calligraphy tie into the invitation design.

These letterpress wedding invitations have us dreaming of summertime weddings, floral arrangements, and calligraphy accents. Are you ready to design your perfect wedding stationery? Contact us or work with one of our dealers to get started!

Invitation

• letterpress ink: vine
• digital: clover
• font: austin
• paper: bella smooth cotton 2-ply white
• size: f-8
• edge paint: vine
• envelope liner: custom pattern in clover digital on white text
• envelope: white cotton text
• envelope addressing: vine digital on the back

For their wedding stationery, Katrina and John envisioned something modern and minimalist, yet still soft, with an emphasis on their wedding venue in Southern Italy. The couple worked with our dear friend Carolyn from Just Paper and Tea to create the perfect Mediterranean wedding invitations.

Our Kailua design was a great starting point. Instead of the seaside scene of the inspiration design, the couple opted to showcase imagery of the venue, Masseria Le Torri in Polignano a Mare. It blends clean contemporary design with organic, Old World texture. The look is effortless but still very much intentional. The monochromatic ink choice of our vine letterpress over clover digital gives it cohesion and calm. The color palette also evokes the coastal landscape and olive trees that dot the region.

The layout plays with scale and adds depth. Bold, large-format names in all uppercase create a presence and structure. In contrast to the delicate body text, for visual drama. The same font appears throughout for simplicity and consistency.

The events and details cards maintain the same look. Instead, both cards feature an illustration of a prickly pear cactus, which also grows in the area. The envelope liner features the same illustration. It leans coastal Mediterranean, which keeps the look modern and location-driven.

Are you interested in finding a way to feature your venue in your invitation design? Whether you want Mediterranean wedding invitations or invitations showcasing a different area, work with one of our dealers to design the perfect invitations for your big day.

These letterpress invitations have playful botanical illustrations with a clean contemporary layout, creating a look that is cheerful, stylish, and slightly vintage. Hayes and Nick worked with us to customize our retro-inspired Cyrus design for their big day.

The eye-catching floral artwork is lively and organic, and reminiscent of Scandinavian or mid-century textile patterns. The repeating pattern gives the artwork structure and a modern vibe, while the ample blank space along the edges of the card allows the bold artwork to stand out. The use of red and orange hues is perfect for a fall wedding, especially on the East Coast. Cherry edge painting adds an unexpected pop of color. Our Bright White smooth cotton stock is the perfect background, showcasing the stunning hues.

The typography mixes a casual script font for the couple’s names with a clean sans-serif font for the text. This complementary pairing balances playful elegance with a modern structure. The layout further emphasizes the square card.

A highly functional details card provides information for a welcome event, specifics for the big day, and also serves as a reply card. An accordion-fold design provides plenty of space for details and looks good, thanks to the artwork on the first panel and the bold color palette throughout.

Whether you have your heart set on something retro-inspired, want a bold, seasonally appropriate color palette, or want the functionality of an accordion fold, we can make it happen. Contact us to learn more about our design process and get started creating your dream invitations.

This entire stationery suite is stately yet exudes effortless elegance. The mix of textures, soft botanicals, an elaborate monogram, and a fun post-toast card makes for a memorable look. This suite celebrates a series of pre- and post-wedding events honoring Christian and Jack throughout their special weekend. This highly curated collection of cards was brought to us by our friend Jessica of Rock Paper Scissors in Franklin, Tennessee.

• finishing: assemble with rehearsal dinner invitation

Each card in this suite has a different shape, from the Winston die-cut rehearsal dinner invitation to the oval events card, the rounded-corner post-toast card, and finally the square-corner brunch card. This variety adds visual interest, but the soft green color palette of the spruce letterpress ink, asparagus velvet belly bands, and the spruce paper for the brunch card creates a cohesive feel.

A flourishing script monogram with elaborate scrolling detail and leaf-like tendrils adorns the rehearsal dinner invitation and both belly bands. The monogram adds drama, romance, and a bit of vintage charm. For the rehearsal dinner invitation, the monogram is letterpress printed in our spruce ink, so it is pressed into our luxurious Bella cotton 2-ply paper. A blind emboss wreath encircles the monogram. Embossing creates raised detail and provides a striking contrast to the letterpress monogram. The same floral detail appears as accents on the brunch card, and the full pattern is visible on the envelope liner.

For the belly bands, the monogram again appears in our spruce letterpress ink, but this time on our asparagus velvet, creating a subtle yet impactful tonal look.

The card that stands out from the rest is the post-toast card inviting guests to a casino night after the rehearsal dinner. The fun, playing-card-inspired design features the couple’s initials for a personal touch and adds a bit of glamour to the suite with mink matte foil stamping on our metallic sand paper.

Are you thinking about a custom monogram, velvet belly bands, elaborate floral detailing, or other ways to introduce personality, fun, and a luxurious undertone into your wedding stationery? We can make it happen. Work with one of our dealers to get expert tips and guidance to create the wedding stationery of your dreams!

Bailey and Noah chose to customize our Underwood V.2 design for their wedding. The couple made some simple but significant changes to elevate the design and make it their own. They worked with our dear friend Johnna of Big City Bride to create these lovely tone-on-tone wedding invitations.

The structured typography and clean layout keep everything polished and intentional. The bold serif font for the names and the delicate sans serif font for the text introduce a modern feel. A muted, earthy color palette feels organic and grounded, and is perfect for a fall wedding. The use of tone-on-tone printing is elegant yet trendy. Subtle debossed florals create texture. Blind debossing presses into the paper without ink and, in this instance, adds charm to the look without feeling busy. 

Invitation

• deboss: blind

The same floral artwork also appears on the envelope liner, digitally printed in black on our ballet text. The use of black ink on the light, delicate pink paper is striking, making the florals the highlight of the liner, while they play a supporting role on the invitation.

For the reply card, the debossed floral artwork from the invitation is rearranged into a bouquet and letterpress printed in our rosebud ink. This creates consistency across the pieces while still keeping things fresh and unique.

The delicate florals and tonal printing soften the modern look, creating a dreamy, elegant wedding suite. It was a pleasure to create these lovely wedding invitations for Bailey and Noah, and it’s always a pleasure to work with Big City Bride. Work with one of our dealers to create the tone-on-tone wedding invitations of your dreams! 

Our now-retired Ninette design is the perfect inspiration for Alex and Gage’s save the dates. This couple worked with our dear friend Jessica of Prickly Pear Press to create these gorgeous cards, the perfect mix of a floral and coastal aesthetic.

The florals immediately set the tone. Soft pinks, dusty blues, creamy whites, and gentle greens are arranged in a loose composition. The artwork has a vintage botanical illustration quality, but the spacing and layout of the florals, anchored asymmetrically to one side, keep it fresh and modern.

Save the Date

• letterpress ink: wedgewood
• foil stamping: gold matte
• digital ink: cmyk
• font: brilon + coldiac
• paper: bella smooth cotton 2-ply white
• size: no. 10
• foil edging: gold matte
• envelope liner: classic color pattern in wedgewood digital on white text
• envelope: white cotton text
• envelope addressing: wedgewood digital on the front and the back
• job: 76268

The typography elevates everything. The names are set in a refined yet extravagant serif font. Gold matte foil stamping adds a sense of understated luxury and draws the eye to the flourishes. The smaller text appears in a more subdued serif font and is letterpress-printed in our Wedgewood ink, which gives it a breezy, seaside feel, perfect for a wedding on Martha’s Vineyard. 

The card is a no. 10 size, which measures 9.19” x 3.81”. This size is unexpected and modern. The landscape orientation builds on that modern feel. The envelope liner is a single-color digital flood of Wedgewood, ensuring a perfect color match with the letterpress printing.

These save the dates are polished and relaxed while still maintaining a formal feel. Work with one of our dealers to find and customize the perfect save the date for your wedding!

Sara and Adam created a memorable save the date that was sure to get their guests excited about the invitation. A bold custom illustration is the standout feature of this card. The presentation is soft and tailored, and the design is completely custom.

The gorgeous, symmetrical crest has an old-world medallion-style feel. The raised detail of the embossing stands out on our 2-ply paper. No ink is used for a blind emboss, so the texture of our cotton paper stands out, and the lack of color gives the ornate artwork an almost minimalist feel. The raised artwork contrasts with the letterpress text, which is pressed into the paper, adding an extra layer of visual interest.

Save the Date

• letterpress ink: spruce
• emboss: blind
• paper: bella cotton 2-ply white
• size: a-6
• envelope liner: cloud text
• envelope: white cotton text
• envelope addressing: vine digital on the front and the back
• job: 73032

A member of our design team took care of the illustration based on direction from the couple. We offer custom illustration services, so let us know what you have in mind, and we can make it happen.

The cloud text envelope liner keeps things simple while adding a whisper of color, but still keeping the focus on the card. This entire design radiates an understated luxury.
