Bennett Simple Letterpress + Foil Birthday Invitations

There is nothing quite like a modern letterpress and foil printed birthday invitation suite. Our Bennett Simple (by Ian Koenig)  looks sleek in a combination of aquamarine and silver matte foil inks. We love that the year 1962 is emphasized on each piece and the edge painting really makes everything pop. Thanks Hitched for submitting these amazing invitations.

Three Color Letterpress – Bold + Beautiful Wedding Invitations

This destination letterpress wedding invitation is charming in pumpkin, pewter, and pale gray inks. The couple chose Debi Zeinert‘s Clermont hand calligraphy for all of the text, and we love how refined and clean cut this looks. This custom design (inspired by our Classic Destination invitation by April Wong) definitely has a contemporary feel, but looks romantic in its own right.  We think it has an “I’d go to the ends of the earth for you” kind of a feel.

inks: pumpkin + pewter +  pale gray | calligraphy: Clermont hand calligraphy, by Debi Zeinert | paper: 2-ply ivory | invite size: f8  | liner: custom in navy + pewter | edge paint: navy | customization #: 13013 |

Joie de Vivre in Foil and Letterpress

Kamal‘s Joie De Vivre design was an instant trendsetter as soon as it was released in 2011, and it’s still one of our most popular designs.  This one, though, is just such a gorgeous example that we had to share.  The invite  includes two foil colors and one letterpress ink – for a look that complements the design beautifully and looks incredibly rich.  We don’t show pricing on our site for invites with more than two colors, so if you’re looking for something like this for your own invites please contact us for a custom quote.

Simple Dot Save the Dates for a December Wedding

Our wonderful friend Samantha at Gus & Ruby Letterpress in Portsmouth, New Hampshire submitted these classic, yet stunning letterpress and foil stamped save the dates.  The bold, while still understated look is refreshing on the Simple Dot design (by Sarah Walroth) – and we’re smitten with the perfect combo of our silver shine foil and black letterpress ink.  We adore the fact that these save the dates set the tone for a classic winter white wedding.

Custom Ashwell Save the Date and Invitation set

While there’s no rule saying you have to stick with the same design for both your save the dates and invites, we definitely love seeing a design carried through for all of the wedding stationery of a couple.  Take this set for instance.  This couple chose to take our classic Ashwell design, and to jazz it up with a custom wreath design that they used for both the save the dates as well as the invitations.  Thanks to Union Street Papery for these orders!

Bella Figura Real Wedding: Kristen and Michael’s nautical Maine wedding

We worked with our friends over at Gus and Ruby for the nautical invitations for Kristen and Michael’s Maine wedding, and we love seeing the way the set coordinated with the rest of the wedding day details! The couple chose our Harbor Beach invitation design for their June wedding, and added custom envelope liners featuring a map of York Harbor (where the wedding was held) as a finishing touch. Their reception took place at the Dockside Guest Quarters and was filled lots of chic nautical touches, including a rope-wrapped bouquet, oars for a guest book, and “captain” buoys as chair decor.
