Letterpress Wedding Invitations with Bucolic Belly Band

The inspiration behind these invitations is our Sedna design. The couple chose to maintain the invitation layout and keep the same fonts, but then they got creative. While they kept the belly band, they swapped out the Art Deco shell pattern of the inspiration design for artwork depicting a nature scene. The belly band secures all the cards in the suite when in the envelope. In this instance, it also introduces vibrant pastoral artwork. When wrapped around the invitation, the belly band also covers a part of the invitation that is void of printing. This attention to detail allows the pieces to complement one another.


The details card is equally stunning. This 6-panel accordion fold card features the full rundown of events during the wedding weekend. Everything from the Friday golf outing through Sunday brunch is represented on a panel. Each panel features artwork or a motif from our design library, with a hand-drawn look that coordinates with the custom artwork on the first panel. The final panel provides reply details, allowing this piece to serve as both a details card and an RSVP card.

The rehearsal dinner invitation takes a much more simplified approach, while still coordinating with the other pieces. Spruce letterpress printing matches the envelope liner, while a digitally printed wedding band motif serves as the only adornment. This card is understated and charming.
