When our dear friend Erin from Smitten Boutique sent us this invitation design, we knew it would be stunning. This invitation is modern and sophisticated with a luxe edge and is paired with a one-of-a-kind envelope liner. These invitations are a custom design, loosely based on our now-retired Augusta. We no longer maintain samples when a design is retired, but we can still borrow elements or replicate the entire look for your custom invitations.

Our maize 1-ply is bold yet warm, ensuring the belly band stands out. The event date appears in blind emboss for a subtle, yet impactful look. The use of the cartouch around the date and the placement in the center of the belly band are very traditional choices; however, the vertical formatting of the date, which is edgy and modern, provides contrast.

The mix of fonts keeps the look contemporary while still being black-tie appropriate. Placing the couple’s initials and event date in the top-left corner is unexpected and a nice personal touch. Including this detail in gold matte foil is glamorous.

The initials and date are repeated on the rehearsal dinner invitation. This card features gold matte foil stamping on our ultra black stock, which drastically ups the glamour factor.
