This letterpress save the date is a customization of our Guild design. The warm espresso and french vanilla inks make it a truly stunning and incredibly elegant design, paired with that extra little touch of luxury with a rich espresso envelope liner. Printed for an upcoming winter wedding in New York City, this is the perfect save the date for a really luxurious affair.
This cheerful customization of our Floweret letterpress wedding invitation design is one of our favorite customizations of this particular design. It’s printed in champagne and cloud 9 blue inks and paired with a chic navy envelope liner. We also worked with the couple to customize the design to include more of the playful flower motif along the left side of the invitation, a change from the original design. They chose Memoir script for a really fun look that is whimsical, but still somewhat traditional. We love this personalization of our Floweret design – it’s definitely a new favorite!
Rounding out our posts of fun letterpress save the dates for the week, these are two cool customizations we printed for weddings this past summer. The first is our Surya design printed in rich amethyst and pool inks. We love this pairing of pretty jewel tones and suspect this will be a continuing trend in the months to come.
This letterpress save the date is a really fun customization of our Sailboat design in garden and navy inks. It’s really the perfect save the date for this couple’s wedding, which took place in the beautiful Thousand Islands region of Upstate NY, not too far from our studio in Syracuse.
In 2009 our New Calligraphy design has become one of our most popular and we love seeing how couples work with our designers and calligrapher to create something truly special for their event. These customized letterpress save the dates both feature the beautiful hand calligraphy of our New Calligraphy design, but beyond that are very different designs.
Printed in black ink on our white cotton paper, this customization is a true pairing of classic elegance and modern sophistication.
This letterpress save the date switches things up a bit with a vertical orientation. It is printed in tea rose ink on our 2-ply ivory cotton paper with edge painting to match.

Continuing our love for pretty letterpress save the dates, this customization of our Tuileries design is completely unique, printed in light peach and mango inks for a Napa Valley wedding next summer. We adore this entirely new and fresh take on one of our more popular designs and love how this couple truly made it their own.
While the rest of the world is gearing up for the holidays, around here we’re hard at work helping couples prepare for their upcoming summer 2010 weddings. We’ve been printing a lot of really fabulous letterpress save the dates in recent weeks and had to take a moment to share a couple of our latest favorites. Both of these customizations are great examples of how completely personal you can make one of our Bella Figura letterpress designs just by playing with ink colors, fonts and layout.
This fun letterpress save the date is a customization of our Champagne design, printed here in amethyst and garden inks. The layout is simple, keeping the emphasis on the sans serif type asking guests to save the date. A website address is provided in the lower corner so guests have easy access to further details and information about the event while keeping the design of the save the date itself clean and modern.
Using our Mimosa design, this couple opted for a vertical orientation with champagne and garden inks to make this design their own. The play between all lowercase serif type and all uppercase serif type for their names makes it a bit more playful and fun than a more traditional layout. We love these vibrant colors – they’ll be perfect for a summer wedding!
When checking out our letterpress gallery, keep in mind that all of our designs can be easily customized to suit the personality of your event. Love a design but wish it were printed in red instead of purple? We can do that and much more to help you make a design uniquely yours, just as we did with these two couples when designing their save the dates.

There is something really fun about working with couples to print letterpress save the dates for their upcoming weddings – they’re often newly engaged and completely excited as they delve into wedding planning. So, when we recently had the opportunity to print these awesome save the dates, we were beyond thrilled. In our Majorca design, printed in cream and garden inks, these save the dates actually feature two cards in our reply card size that are then fastened together with a grommet, a simple yet completely unique feature that we love!
The first card features basic save the date information including the wedding date and location – the date is emphasized in large serif type for a look that is clean and modern.
The second card features detailed lodging and travel information for guests traveling from out of town. Providing such details can prove immensely useful for guests as they prepare to join you for your celebration.
This kind of truly customized letterpress save the date is our favorite to print – we love seeing couples take our designs and play with font and sizes and colors to totally reinvent something that is perfect for their unique event.

Printing really adorable letterpress baby announcements sure is great fun for us! These customized letterpress announcements are among our favorites of those we’ve recently printed and it’s easy to see why – they are so completely cute!
This particular letterpress baby announcement is perfect for welcoming a little boy. It’s our Airplane design printed in navy and taupe inks on our ivory cotton paper. It’s a touch masculine, but still perfectly playful and child-like.
Our Owl letterpress baby announcement is one of our most popular designs. This customized version is printed in bright daffodil paired with downy ink. Yellow and gray is such a popular color for letterpress wedding invitations, so it’s no surprise that new parents also love this combination for letterpress baby announcements!
Another customization of our Owl design, this letterpress baby announcement is printed in pumpkin and garden inks. While 1-color letterpress is always fun, we love how this 2-color letterpress adaptation makes the Owl design so special.
The great thing about letterpress is how easily we can personalize a design to perfectly suit all special occasions in your life. In addition to our letterpress wedding invitations and letterpress baby announcements, we’re also happy to print for bar and bat mitzvahs, birthday parties, anniversary parties – you name it! Any of our letterpress designs can be customized for the celebration of your choice.

Recently we’ve had the pleasure of printing a whole bunch of really great letterpress ceremony programs. In different shapes and sizes and featuring a whole array of different designs, each one is personalized with the colors, fonts and designs perfect for each individual couple and their event.
These double-sided programs are in our Suyra design, printed in deep blue and butter yellow inks. They were a full F8 size, the same as our larger-sized invitations, to allow the couple to really maximize the amount of information they could include. In this case, the back of the program featured details on the members of their wedding party.
Decidedly modern in our Flourish design printed in persimmon, these 1-color double-sided ceremony programs are a true reflection of the event this couple was planning. They are fun and whimsical while still perfectly appropriate for their traditional church ceremony.
Perfect for a more formal event, these letterpress programs in our Plume design feature deep blue and antique gold inks and the undeniable flair of hand calligraphy accents. Like the Flourish letterpress programs above, these were double-sided letterpress on our tea length size. We love the elegance a lovely letterpress ceremony program can add to a wedding and look forward to printing many many more.
Using our Dolce design and printed in powder blue and antique gold inks, these letterpress dinner menus are the definition of luxurious. Printed on our super thick 2-ply cotton paper, the end result is a gorgeous letterpress creation that any guest would be excited to see awaiting them at their seat. While we always love printing lovely letterpress wedding invitations, the opportunity to print really fabulous extras (letterpress menus, coasters, ceremony programs and so much more) is always a treat – these were no exception.
We’re not kidding when we say we really really love printing letterpress coasters. They are both really fun and a bit unexpected and add a little touch of luxury to any event. These were printed in sophisticated black and pale gray inks with the couple’s monogram that they carried throughout their event. How chic!
