This sophisticated letterpress wedding invitation is lovely and timeless, but the exquisite lace-inspired pocketfold took our breath away. This design came to us from our dear friend Jill of Jill Elaine Designs. The couple, Alexandra and Philip, designed their very own custom wedding stationery, and we are so happy they did.

The pocketfold’s cover is gorgeous and reminiscent of vintage heirloom lace or embroidered wedding veils. Khaki letterpress ink on our white Bella smooth cotton stock introduces subtle tonal details that create depth. Its scalloped edges and floral motifs create a delicate pattern, adding romance and dimension without overwhelming the clean, minimalist composition.

The layout embraces generous white space, allowing each design element to be admired and enjoyed. The beauty of this design comes from the restraint and subtle contrast. A mix of oversized, artistic initials creating a distinctive monogram and delicate serif fonts is a refined design feature.
Burgundy shine foil showcases the bevel edge while adding some glimmer. A tag bearing the invitation’s monogram, this time blind-embossed, is secured to the invitation with metallic cranberry thread. The shimmer of the metallic thread beautifully coordinates with the foil edging.
The vintage-style map envelope liner is a darling addition. A heart motif marks the location of the wedding and reception venue for a charming personal detail.

The auxiliary cards in this wedding stationery suite are just as stunning as the invite. The details card features letterpress printing on our velvet stock. Velvet adds a lovely texture and holds a crisp letterpress impression. The use of our deep blue letterpress ink on our French blue velvet creates a stunning tonal look.
The rehearsal dinner invitation is a masterclass in minimalism. Blind debossing on our Bella cotton 1-ply paper mimics the look of tonal printing while showcasing the depth of the debossing and the stock’s soft texture. Utilizing letterpress printing in our deep blue ink for the remaining text maintains consistency across the rest of the suite.

A swooping script font, gold shine foil, and decadently thick, 3-ply paper have us taking a moment to admire Stephanie and Michael’s sophisticated foil stamped invitations.

The invitation design is anchored by our Bella ultra black stock in 3-ply, elevated with warm gold shine foil that adds depth. A lavish script font for the couple’s names serves as a focal point while a classic serif font provides structure for the remaining text.
The edges are cut at a 45-degree bevel before being gilded with gold shine foil for an extravagant detail that further highlights the thick 3-ply paper.
A mounting card adhered to the back of the invitation secures a belly band, creating a spot to neatly hold the auxiliary cards. A lovely Art Deco-inspired pattern in gold shine foil adorns the belly band and coordinates with the envelope liner. Foil stamping at the bottom of the invitation directs guests to the couple’s wedding website.

The insert cards reverse the invitation design and feature a glamorous black shine foil on metallic gold leaf stock (customer supplied). Swapping the colors in this way maintains a cohesive feel while allowing the invitation to take center stage. The contrast between the black invitation and the soft neutral insert cards creates a striking visual balance that feels upscale without being overly ornate.
Are you as in love with these sophisticated foil stamped invitations as we are? Do you want your invitations to have an effortless glamour and plenty of shine? Would a belly band adhered to the back of the invitation give you the streamlined presentation you’re after? Work with one of our dealers to create your dream invitations.
This announcement, brought to us by our dear friend Erin of Smitten Boutique, celebrates a delightful milestone with soft florals, a cheerful color palette, and an adorable photo of the little one. The look was inspired by our Whitney design but beautifully customized into a charming keepsake. While this design is retired, it is still available to customize; we simply no longer maintain samples. This letterpress birth announcement is extra special because we’ve also had the pleasure of printing the announcements for baby Georgia’s older siblings.

Soft watercolor florals arranged in a wreath to frame the photo are graceful and add a vibrant burst of color while creating a delicate, airy styling. A letterpress border that follows the edge of the card adds more color and showcases the smooth texture of the 2-ply stock.
Delicate typography features generous spacing for a clean, unencumbered presentation. Georgia’s stationery-savvy mom took things a step further by also including a flat thank-you card in this suite. The child’s name appears in different versions of the same font on the announcement and the social note card. This creates a cohesive feel while still giving each card its own look. The announcement features the naive font, while the note card features naive inline, which adds some dimension and whimsy to the more subdued design.
The scalloped edge of the thank-you card introduces gentle dimension, echoing vintage stationery traditions with a fresh, modern simplicity. The edges feature a letterpress border again in our bellini ink, mimicking the look of the announcement.
A coordinating envelope liner uses the sample florals from the birth announcement’s wreath, but rearranged into a vertical pattern. Both cards have the same lovely liner. Everything about these cards is intentional and understated for a look that is elegant, fun, and timeless.
Congratulations to the entire Murphy family! Do you want a darling letterpress birth announcement with botanical accents? Or a charming die-cut thank you card? Work with one of our dealers to create the perfect stationery for whatever life events you are celebrating.
Our latest collection is now available, and we’re so happy for you to see it. These designs are reimagined versions of some of our favorites, featuring different print methods and materials to create beautiful designs. Since we recently added laser die-cutting to our lineup, we wanted to showcase some of the creative ways to feature this capability.
Laser Die-Cut Velvet
Our Melrose V.2 can best be described as botanical elegance. It feels refined, organic, and timeless. Our asparagus velvet stock adds soft texture while holding a crisp impression for both letterpress printing and foil stamping. Cyprus letterpress ink gives the design a tonal look, while bronze-shine foil adds warmth. The elaborate laser-die-cut border is artistic and sophisticated, adding depth to the design. This wedding stationery suite is romantic, graceful, and perfect for a garden or estate wedding.
Modern Tropical Elegance
Pura Vida V.2 blends clean contemporary design with lush botanical inspiration and intricate laser-cut patterns. This design feels fresh, refined, and destination-inspired while maintaining a high level of sophistication. The invitation has a tone-on-tone vibe with toast letterpress ink on our almond paper. The laser-die-cut pocket panel elevates the design while neatly securing all the cards in the suite. Bold palm fronds, geometric patterns, and a crisp color palette create an invitation that feels vibrant yet understated, balancing natural beauty with minimalist elegance.
Lattice-Inspired Gatefold
The intricate laser-die-cut lattice panels of Imari V.2 open to reveal a classic invitation, perfect for a formal wedding at a grand estate or historic ballroom. Refined typography, including a dramatic script font and a blind emboss border, elevates the look. The equally stunning liner is a twist on a Toile de Jouy pattern and features blind embossing on our sky paper.
Rustic Formal Chic
Scout V.2 delivers so many charming and unexpected details that work together to create an invitation design that is formal yet outdoorsy and inspired by lazy summer days at camp. Bold color paper and charming laser-cut details set the scene. Not one but two plaid patterns, including one letterpress-printed on the invitation, keep the look grounded and rustic, while a darling pocket panel with laser-die-cut trees ensures this design is perfect for a wedding held at a lodge.
Art Deco Glamour
An extravagant die-cut invitation with decadent gold matte foil stamping ensures that once you lay eyes on Mai V.2, you’ll think about it for a long time. A flowing script font for the couple’s names lends the design an air of opulence, while a stately monogram within a cartouche that mirrors the invitation’s shape is a perfect personalized touch.
The invitation also features a laser die-cut belly band adhered to the back, creating the perfect spot to secure additional cards in the suite. The entire bundle then slides into a stunning sleeve adorned with flowing florals. The front panel of the sleeve is also laser-die-cut, creating open spaces between the blooms and allowing the invite to peek through. The entire presentation is swoon-worthy.
Bold geometric design and sophisticated typography ensure that Bryana and Bradley’s modern color blocking wedding invites stand out for all of the right reasons. This suite embraces a clean, vibrant aesthetic that is perfect for a celebration held in the restaurant above the Museum of Arts and Design. We are so happy this couple worked with our dear friend Tracey of Written and Wrapped to bring their contemporary invitation suite to life.

The invitation features a striking, high-contrast palette of our plum and flamingo letterpress ink on our amethyst paper. The color combination is playful and elevates the look. Rather than relying on florals or ornamental details, the design uses geometric shapes, crisp borders, and bold color blocking to create visual interest. This modern design is juxtaposed with the traditional technique of letterpress printing. Our 2-ply color paper holds a deep, crisp impression, introducing a tactile element to the design.
A contemporary serif font with dramatic strokes gives the names a fashionable prominence, while clean sans-serif text provides balance and readability. The restrained use of typography allows the vivid colors to remain the focal point.

It’s impossible to miss the geometric envelope liner, which introduces abstract shapes in coordinating colors, creating a surprise element when the envelope is opened. The matching design for the reply card and rehearsal dinner invitation continues the cohesive visual identity with framed layouts, saturated backgrounds, and disciplined spacing.
Every piece feels carefully curated, embracing simplicity while making a confident visual statement. Do you love the look of clean borders and structured layouts? Do you want an abstract geometric envelope liner or bold color-blocking? Whatever you want for your wedding invites, our dealers can help you make it happen.
A clean, balanced layout with exceptional attention to detail gives these foil stamped wedding invitations warmth and a minimalist luxury sensibility. Catalina and Malcolm worked with our dear friend Staci of Sincerely Staci to create their wedding stationery, which is loosely inspired by our Margaret design.

A charming monogram at the top introduces a subtle personalized touch. The floral spring separating the initials is understated and delicate. A flowing script font is reserved for the couple’s names, while the remaining text is set in a refined serif typeface with generous spacing, creating a balanced visual hierarchy. The combination of formal script and restrained typography gives the suite a romantic yet contemporary feel. The fine lines of the text still catch the light and offer some shimmer, thanks to the bronze shine foil.
An almost imperceptible foil-stamped botanical pattern on the envelope liner adds texture and depth without overwhelming the design.
The accompanying cards maintain the same minimalist approach, relying on thoughtful typography, ample blank space, and consistent bronze shine foil stamping to create cohesion across every piece. The beauty comes from intentional design, precision, and impeccable craftsmanship.

We are so proud of our entire Bella Figura team for bringing these beautiful designs to life.

Gold Leaf Award Recipient for Best Use of Special Diecut
Tomlin, designed by Katie Magee, is romantic, understated, refined, and luxurious. Blind embossing of the floral artwork on the invitation adds depth, while foil stamping brings warmth and shimmer. The invitation is lovely on its own, but a laser die-cut folder elevates the design. The folder features the same floral artwork, perfectly positioned over the blind-embossed artwork of the invitation, but this time it is brilliantly detailed with various foils.
Silver Leaf Award Recipient for Best Use of Letterpress
Valerie, by Kait White, blends modern minimalism, fine art, and skilled craftsmanship. Dramatic embossing and a custom die-cut silhouette that flows organically along the floral artwork are striking. The typography features a combination of classic serif lettering and a delicate script font for the couple’s names. The left-justified layout balances the dramatic floral edge with clean, open space, creating a design that feels contemporary, airy, and sophisticated.
Bronze Leaf Award Recipient for Best Use of Foil/Embossing Announcement/Invitation (Ensemble)
Delevingne, by Katie Magee, features a gorgeous gatefold with a romantic, classically inspired panoramic garden landscape. The gatefold unfolds to reveal the invitation, creating an almost immersive experience. Decadently deep letterpress printing highlights the typography, while a meadow of flowers in blind sculpted embossing wraps along the bottom edge of the invitation. The highly detailed sculpted embossing is stunning and creates a continuation from the garden artwork of the gatefold to the invitation.
Bronze Leaf Award Recipient for Best Use of Foil/Embossing Announcement/Invitation
Vivien, by Leslie Johnston, embodies a tropical Art Deco style, blending glamorous vintage details with refined botanical motifs and luxurious printing techniques. Tall palm fronds create a symmetrical frame that draws the eye inward. Gold-shine foil stamping lends the design a luminous, upscale finish and features an incredible level of detail, showcasing both the heavy coverage of parts of the foliage as well as the thin, wispy splits in the leaves and the delicate, looping curves of the script font. The overall aesthetic feels sophisticated, destination-inspired, and timeless.
Moody romantic details like delicate floral embossing, decadent velvet, and hints of foil all work together to ensure Zabrina and Cristian’s wedding invitations are worth swooning over. This couple worked with our friend Lisa of Mark Harris Stationers to customize our Imari design.

The invitation is formal and refined. The graceful script font features restrained looping flourishes for an understated vibe that is still black-tie-ready. All of the text is engraved, creating a tactile raised impression.
Like the inspiration design, this customization features a monogram. The initials use the same script font as the couple’s names, keeping the look cohesive. The wreath-like florals wrap around the monogram, adding a touch of romance. The monogram crest is blind-embossed, a print technique that creates a raised impression without ink, mimicking the look of engraving while highlighting the paper’s color and texture.
The beveled foiled edge is a subtle yet showstopping detail that adds an opulent glimmer to the already stunning invitation.
The script monogram from the invitation appears again on the belly band. This time, the monogram is foil-stamped in champagne matte on our Bella wine velvet for a strikingly gorgeous look.
Whether you want to feature a custom monogram, blind embossing, sophisticated velvet accents, or any combination of these features, we can bring your vision to life. Work with one of our dealers to create your perfect wedding invitation with blind emboss and velvet.
Artful design, opulent materials, and attention to detail ensure these wedding invitations with champagne matte foil stamping are elegant, personal, and completely dreamy. Amanda and Ramon worked with our dear friend Linda of Phantastic Papers to customize our Richmond design for their special day.

Champagne matte foil stamping is regal and traditional, adding warmth and sophistication to the design. The remaining text is letterpress printed in our rosette ink for a subtle burst of color. Both the foil and letterpress printing stand out on our Bella Smooth Cotton paper, which is incredibly soft and has a satiny feel. The 3-ply weight is luxurious and allows our printers to create a decadently deep impression that is clean and crisp. Foil edging adds a glimmer that is sure to catch the eye as guests remove the invitation from the envelope.
The dramatic script font is open and airy with grand flourishes. The sweeping script font is balanced by the smaller serif font that is timeless and understated. Amanda and Ramon gave their invitation a personal touch by including a photo of themselves digitally printed on the back of the invitation. It’s a lovely photo and turns the invitation into a treasured keepsake.
The delicate envelope liner pattern appears in champagne matte on metallic crystal stock and is nuanced and understated. The pattern from the envelope liner was repurposed into a border for the reply card, creating consistency across the cards.

The invitation is refined and understated. Formal typography paired with letterpress printing in espresso is contemporary and warm.

Elements from the invitation found their way into the design of the day-of pieces. The darling butterfly pattern of the envelope liner is repurposed into a border for the table cards.

The line illustration of the couple has a romantic, vintage French vibe and immediately catches the eye. It’s adorable and fanciful, and we absolutely adore it. An interesting thing about this invitation set is that if you were to remove the illustration from the invite, it would still be a lovely suite.
Bordeaux letterpress ink is stunning and displays a richness when printed on our Bella Smooth Cotton ivory paper. The ivory gives the cards a classic, vintage feel, and the 2-ply stock holds a crisp letterpress impression, which really shows off the fine lines of the artwork and the fonts, particularly the modern font used for the bride and groom’s names. The mix of delicate italics and all capitals is edgy and modern. The typography feels elegant without being overly ornate, and it complements the minimalist artwork, which features just enough detail to be complete but not over the top.
We always love a beveled edge, and edge painting highlights the gentle slope. The other cards in the suite are also edge-painted, carrying the pop of color throughout. Bordeaux edge painting beautifully matches the letterpress ink, as well as the envelope and the liner. Using a single color throughout the stationery set is refined and contemporary.
The stars on the welcome dinner invitation call back to the dreamy moon-and-stars illustrations of the invitation. The traditional border of the details card aligns with the envelope liner’s classic stripes.
