These letterpress invitations have playful botanical illustrations with a clean contemporary layout, creating a look that is cheerful, stylish, and slightly vintage. Hayes and Nick worked with us to customize our retro-inspired Cyrus design for their big day.

The eye-catching floral artwork is lively and organic, and reminiscent of Scandinavian or mid-century textile patterns. The repeating pattern gives the artwork structure and a modern vibe, while the ample blank space along the edges of the card allows the bold artwork to stand out. The use of red and orange hues is perfect for a fall wedding, especially on the East Coast. Cherry edge painting adds an unexpected pop of color. Our Bright White smooth cotton stock is the perfect background, showcasing the stunning hues.

The typography mixes a casual script font for the couple’s names with a clean sans-serif font for the text. This complementary pairing balances playful elegance with a modern structure. The layout further emphasizes the square card.

A highly functional details card provides information for a welcome event, specifics for the big day, and also serves as a reply card. An accordion-fold design provides plenty of space for details and looks good, thanks to the artwork on the first panel and the bold color palette throughout.

Whether you have your heart set on something retro-inspired, want a bold, seasonally appropriate color palette, or want the functionality of an accordion fold, we can make it happen. Contact us to learn more about our design process and get started creating your dream invitations.

This entire stationery suite is stately yet exudes effortless elegance. The mix of textures, soft botanicals, an elaborate monogram, and a fun post-toast card makes for a memorable look. This suite celebrates a series of pre- and post-wedding events honoring Christian and Jack throughout their special weekend. This highly curated collection of cards was brought to us by our friend Jessica of Rock Paper Scissors in Franklin, Tennessee.

Each card in this suite has a different shape, from the Winston die-cut rehearsal dinner invitation to the oval events card, the rounded-corner post-toast card, and finally the square-corner brunch card. This variety adds visual interest, but the soft green color palette of the spruce letterpress ink, asparagus velvet belly bands, and the spruce paper for the brunch card creates a cohesive feel.

A flourishing script monogram with elaborate scrolling detail and leaf-like tendrils adorns the rehearsal dinner invitation and both belly bands. The monogram adds drama, romance, and a bit of vintage charm. For the rehearsal dinner invitation, the monogram is letterpress printed in our spruce ink, so it is pressed into our luxurious Bella cotton 2-ply paper. A blind emboss wreath encircles the monogram. Embossing creates raised detail and provides a striking contrast to the letterpress monogram. The same floral detail appears as accents on the brunch card, and the full pattern is visible on the envelope liner.

For the belly bands, the monogram again appears in our spruce letterpress ink, but this time on our asparagus velvet, creating a subtle yet impactful tonal look.

The card that stands out from the rest is the post-toast card inviting guests to a casino night after the rehearsal dinner. The fun, playing-card-inspired design features the couple’s initials for a personal touch and adds a bit of glamour to the suite with mink matte foil stamping on our metallic sand paper.

Bailey and Noah chose to customize our Underwood V.2 design for their wedding. The couple made some simple but significant changes to elevate the design and make it their own. They worked with our dear friend Johnna of Big City Bride to create these lovely tone-on-tone wedding invitations.

The structured typography and clean layout keep everything polished and intentional. The bold serif font for the names and the delicate sans serif font for the text introduce a modern feel. A muted, earthy color palette feels organic and grounded, and is perfect for a fall wedding. The use of tone-on-tone printing is elegant yet trendy. Subtle debossed florals create texture. Blind debossing presses into the paper without ink and, in this instance, adds charm to the look without feeling busy. 

Invitation

• letterpress ink: olive
• deboss: blind
• font: austin + sweet sans
• paper: bella spruce 2-ply

The same floral artwork also appears on the envelope liner, digitally printed in black on our ballet text. The use of black ink on the light, delicate pink paper is striking, making the florals the highlight of the liner, while they play a supporting role on the invitation.

For the reply card, the debossed floral artwork from the invitation is rearranged into a bouquet and letterpress printed in our rosebud ink. This creates consistency across the pieces while still keeping things fresh and unique.

The delicate florals and tonal printing soften the modern look, creating a dreamy, elegant wedding suite. It was a pleasure to create these lovely wedding invitations for Bailey and Noah, and it’s always a pleasure to work with Big City Bride. Work with one of our dealers to create the tone-on-tone wedding invitations of your dreams! 

Our now-retired Ninette design is the perfect inspiration for Alex and Gage’s save the dates. This couple worked with our dear friend Jessica of Prickly Pear Press to create these gorgeous cards, the perfect mix of a floral and coastal aesthetic.

The florals immediately set the tone. Soft pinks, dusty blues, creamy whites, and gentle greens are arranged in a loose composition. The artwork has a vintage botanical illustration quality, but the spacing and layout of the florals, anchored asymmetrically to one side, keep it fresh and modern.

Save the Date

• letterpress ink: wedgewood
• foil stamping: gold matte
• digital ink: cmyk
• font: brilon + coldiac
• paper: bella smooth cotton 2-ply white
• size: no. 10
• foil edging: gold matte
• envelope liner: classic color pattern in wedgewood digital on white text
• envelope: white cotton text
• envelope addressing: wedgewood digital on the front and the back
• job: 76268

The typography elevates everything. The names are set in a refined yet extravagant serif font. Gold matte foil stamping adds a sense of understated luxury and draws the eye to the flourishes. The smaller text appears in a more subdued serif font and is letterpress-printed in our Wedgewood ink, which gives it a breezy, seaside feel, perfect for a wedding on Martha’s Vineyard. 

The card is a no. 10 size, which measures 9.19” x 3.81”. This size is unexpected and modern. The landscape orientation builds on that modern feel. The envelope liner is a single-color digital flood of Wedgewood, ensuring a perfect color match with the letterpress printing.

These save the dates are polished and relaxed while still maintaining a formal feel. Work with one of our dealers to find and customize the perfect save the date for your wedding!

Sara and Adam created a memorable save the date that was sure to get their guests excited about the invitation. A bold custom illustration is the standout feature of this card. The presentation is soft and tailored, and the design is completely custom.

The gorgeous, symmetrical crest has an old-world medallion-style feel. The raised detail of the embossing stands out on our 2-ply paper. No ink is used for a blind emboss, so the texture of our cotton paper stands out, and the lack of color gives the ornate artwork an almost minimalist feel. The raised artwork contrasts with the letterpress text, which is pressed into the paper, adding an extra layer of visual interest.

Save the Date

• letterpress ink: spruce
• emboss: blind
• paper: bella cotton 2-ply white
• size: a-6
• envelope liner: cloud text
• envelope: white cotton text
• envelope addressing: vine digital on the front and the back
• job: 73032

A member of our design team took care of the illustration based on direction from the couple. We offer custom illustration services, so let us know what you have in mind, and we can make it happen.

The cloud text envelope liner keeps things simple while adding a whisper of color, but still keeping the focus on the card. This entire design radiates an understated luxury.

These shower invitations are absolutely delightful. A sweet die-cut shape, a silk ribbon, and a charming floral envelope liner make for a mesmerizing combination. The hostess worked with Debbie of AGI Events to customize our Lilibet design. The inspiration design started as a Valentine’s Day card, but effortlessly transformed into a shower invitation.

Invitation

• letterpress ink: amethyst
• fonts: petunia serif + petunia script
• paper: bella smooth cotton 1-ply white
• size: 6.75” x 5.9”
• die cut shape: cd-132
• silk ribbon: dark lavender
• finishing: assemble with ribbon
• envelope liner: hadaway pattern in amethyst + cmyk digital on white text
• envelope: white cotton text
• envelope addressing: amethyst digital on the front and the back
• job: 76077

The heart-shaped invitation instantly sets a sentimental, love-centered tone. It’s sweet and pairs beautifully with the graceful script font and delicate serif font. Amethyst ink coordinates with the silk ribbon, giving everything a cohesive, dreamy look.

The floral envelope liner creates a meadow of tiny blooms against a lavender backdrop. It feels vintage-inspired, like pressed wildflowers from an old garden journal, but the clean layout and crisp white envelope keep it modern and polished.

Whimsical garden romance meets classic elegance, making this design perfect for a bridal shower or any celebration, really. Are you daydreaming about the perfect shower invitation? Locate one of our dealers to bring your stationery dreams to life! 

If you’re interested in something modern with a glimmer of foil, an eye-catching pattern, and the Seattle skyline, then these invitations are for you. The design is Art Deco with moody botanical elements. The look is bold, fresh, and playful yet retains some traditional elements. The couple, Sophia and Barret, worked with our dear friend Susie from First Impression to create these striking invitations.

The design is clean, structured, and very contemporary. Copper matte foil stamping adds warmth to the ultra black stock. The typography is streamlined and architectural, mimicking the invitation’s square shape and using the blank space as a border. The thin line illustration showcases the Seattle skyline in crisp detail.

The invite is stunning on its own, but it is adhered to a gorgeous floral backer that elevates it even further. The digitally printed backer card features a bold color palette with teal, pink, and yellow. A black background anchors the bright colors while coordinating with the invitation. This floral pattern softens the drama and adds personality. The contrast between the black card and vibrant botanical prints creates a serious visual impact.

The remaining cards in the suite, the reply card and weekend card, feature a flood of digitally printed black ink with pink or yellow borders, which match the hues from the floral pattern. These cards are printed in reverse on our Bella smooth cotton in bright white, meaning the text is the unprinted area. This technique allows the text to appear in the bright white of the paper, providing a sharp contrast between the black background and the text.

Do you want invitations that are bold, with graphic-inspired artwork, or that have a moody elegance? Work with one of our dealers for expert guidance and assistance in creating the wedding invitations of your dreams.

Nicole and Michael worked with our Bella Figura NYC store to customize our Hadaway design for their destination wedding. The nuptials were held at the Ottolire Resort in southern Italy, and these letterpress invitations, complete with hand calligraphy, captured the romance of the couple’s love story and the region.

Invitation

• letterpress ink: bordeaux
• hand calligraphy: serena by Virginia Lucas Hart
• font: aria text g2 regular/italic
• paper: bella smooth cotton 2-ply bright white
• size: f-8
• finishing: assemble with mounting card and belly band
• envelope liner: custom-supplied pattern in cmyk digital on bright white text
• envelope: bordeaux text
• envelope addressing: white digital on the front and the back
• job: 75047

The overall color palette creates a look that feels both charming and refined. The rich letterpress border adds depth and formality, while the delicate hand calligraphy by Virginia Lucas Hart introduces a sense of timeless romance. The mix of flowing calligraphy for the names and clean serif text for the details strikes that perfect balance between traditional and contemporary.

The striped envelope liner adds a playful, preppy touch, infusing the design with a lighthearted vibe. Paired with the deep burgundy envelope, the look feels cohesive.

A mounting card with a belly band is adhered to the back of the invitation. A custom monogram featuring the couple’s initials adorns the belly band, which secures the reply and details cards. This ensures all cards are held in place within the envelope and allows for a neat presentation.

The invitation design is carried over to the reply card and details card. Lighter tones of letterpress ink, Old Rose and Wisteria, appear on each card, creating an ombre-like effect across all of the cards.

This entire suite is polished, romantic, and effortlessly chic. We wish Nicole and Michael the best. Are you daydreaming about hand calligraphy and romantic invitations? Do you like the idea of a mounting card with a belly band to secure auxiliary cards? Contact us or work with one of our dealers to create your dream invitations.

Josie and Harris worked with our dear friend Mickey from The Social Type to create these absolutely lovely invitations. Engraving, hand calligraphy, and silk ribbon, along with a charming die-cut details card, all work beautifully together to elevate the look of this suite.

Hand calligraphy in the Opulent style by Debi Zeinert ensures the invitation stands out. The flowing calligraphy was done specifically for this stationery suite, with each card including at least a couple of lines. The use of calligraphy throughout the suite ties all the pieces together from a design standpoint while adding a touch of extravagance to each card.

The invitation features engraving, a classic printing method that creates a raised impression. That raised impression really stands out on our luxuriously thick 3-ply paper. This printing method also emphasizes the swirls and flourishes of the hand calligraphy. 

Clover edge painting gives the invite an extra and unexpected pop of color. The mother-of-pearl silk ribbon tied in a generous bow adds a romantic, almost gift-like presentation. It’s tactile and traditional, signaling formality and intention.

The delicate floral and bird illustrations on the welcome party card introduce a subtle charm that sets the tone for this springtime wedding.

The hydrangea-shaped reception card is a standout detail. That die-cut silhouette brings personality without sacrificing elegance. This card features our Sky 2-ply paper, letterpress-printed in royal blue on both sides. The tone-on-tone printing is gorgeous and on trend.

This engraved wedding invitation suite is warmly inviting. All the details are stunning on their own, but together they create something truly special. Locate one of our dealers to create your own custom wedding invitations.

Delicate botanical illustrations paired with a springtime-inspired color palette and an elegant, stately design made us fall in love with these invitations. The couple, Abigail and Charles, worked with our dear friend Laura of Fine Lines of Katonah to customize our Burklyn design for their special day.

The typography is elegant and formal. Even the beveled edges give the invitation a traditional feel, but edge-painting the 45-degree bevel in our goldenrod ink adds color and a fun sense of whimsy. Edge painting also helps the bevel edges stand out.

The floral pattern on the belly band was created especially for this invitation and is composed of the blue flower motif from the inspiration design suite and the yellow flower motif, which is part of our available artwork. We can create patterns using our existing motif library or based on your direction. Do you want a flower that isn’t part of our collection? Or do you want to change the color or remove leaves from one of our existing floral motifs? Let us know.

The floral accent on the rehearsal dinner invitation gives the card a bit more of a casual feel, but it’s still lovely. The details card has a slight modern feel, thanks to the vertical line digitally printed in goldenrod that separates the dates from the events. The floral artwork at the top and the edge painting tie the overall design to the other pieces.

It’s the kind of wedding suite that feels just as perfect for a vineyard or lakeside venue as it would for an estate or backyard affair. The look is elevated, timeless, and deeply romantic. Do you want to include bevel edges or a custom pattern in your dream invitations? You can work with us or one of our dealers to create your perfect invitation design!

These menus evoke an old-world tropical elegance with a hint of glamour, and we love them for that. We worked with our dear friend Heather of Posh Parties & Paper to create this custom-designed foil-stamped menu for Christina and Sam’s nuptials.

The menu text appears in gold matte foil for an elevated and luxurious look. Our 3-ply Bella smooth cotton paper holds a deep impression, while the pillowy-soft texture adds a tactile element.

Menu

• digital inks: antique gold + cmyk (front)
• foil stamping: gold matte (back)
• font: aston script + adobe caslon
• paper: bella smooth cotton 3-ply white
• size: 7” circle
• die cut shape: bp-11
• job: 75941

A custom monogram featuring a palm tree and the couple’s initials adorns the top. This monogram also appears throughout other stationery pieces in the suite, creating a sense of consistency. The flowing script font is formal yet romantic, and the serif font keeps everything classic and balanced.

Digital printing appears on the reverse side. The muted toile illustration in the background adds depth, nostalgia, and a touch of Old Florida charm. The artwork is refined and relaxed, reinforcing the quiet luxury tone. Each menu bears a guest’s name in our antique gold digital ink. Customizing each piece with variable printing adds a personal, inviting touch.

The circular die-cut shape immediately sets it apart. The menu is soft, refined, and unexpected. The circle shape also nests beautifully in a place setting, creating a welcoming atmosphere for guests.

This foil-stamped menu feels intimate and intentional. It is polished, worldly, and timeless. It was a joy working on all of the stationery pieces for Christina and Sam’s big day, and it’s always a pleasure working with Posh Parties & Paper. Would foil stamping, toile artwork, or variable printing help set the tone for your wedding stationery? Work with one of our dealers to create the perfect stationery for your big day.
