Custom Letterpress Invitations with Velvet Backers
These extravagant custom letterpress invitations with velvet backers and liners are absolutely stunning. We worked with our friends at Walnut Square Gifts and Stationery to create these custom invitations for The Mystic Crewe of Zeus, a community organization, and the oldest Mardi Gras krewe in Hattiesburg, Mississippi.

These cards feature our lavish 2-ply Bella smooth cotton paper in ivory. The front is adhered or duplexed to a velvet backer, creating a decadent 3-ply card. Both sides of the card feature letterpress printing in our ganache ink. The front features text in a sweeping script font, while the back of the card bears a custom crest in honor of Zeus LXXXIV, a member of The Mystic Crewe of Zeus. Velvet is luxurious, providing a tactile element to the card, and it also holds a crisp letterpress impression. The tonal look created by ganache ink on cocoa velvet is subtle but still very impactful.
The liner perfectly exemplifies a regal aesthetic with gold matte foil stamping on our Bella velvet in cocoa. Using cocoa velvet for the card backer and the envelope liner creates consistency. Gold matte foil in the Eris pattern is both stately and grand.
These letterpress invitations with velvet backers are traditional yet very on trend. It was an honor to create these custom-designed cards. If you need an invitation for an upcoming event or want to feature a velvet backer or a foil-stamped velvet liner on your invitation, we can make that happen.
