This save the date is elegant and understated, thanks to khaki letterpress and blind deboss accents. The couple, Nicole and Leo, worked with Bella Figura NYC to create not only a lovely save the date but also coordinated social stationery in the form of a flat thank you card.
The design is based on our Lawrence save the date. Nicole and Leo’s interpretation is the same size and die-cut shape. They eliminated the serif font from the original and utilized the script font more. The khaki letterpress on our ivory paper is very subdued, setting a tranquil tone, while the blind deboss pattern printed across the entire card adds a tactile element.

The couple decided to print coordinating thank you cards at the same time. The thank you card design closely mimics the save the date. The blind deboss pattern appears on the back of the thank you card, maintaining consistency across the pieces while allowing for a smooth surface to write a note. The save the date and flat thank you card are the same size, so one style of envelope works for both.

This invitation suite from our dear friends at RSVP in Omaha, Nebraska, features clean lines for a modern, sophisticated look. However, the whimsical liner adds an unexpected yet perfectly coordinated touch of personality. See all the pieces up close and discover what makes this blind embossed wedding invitation so special.
This client’s job is a customization of our Sherah design. At first glance, the final printed piece strongly resembles its inspiration, including the same die-cut shape combined with a beveled and painted edge. This custom wedding invitation swaps out foil stamping for letterpress printing in our vine ink, giving the card a more vibrant and springlike appearance. The bride and groom’s names are still blind embossed. The crisp, raised text provides a stately and sophisticated feel.
The Quinn liner, a fun floral pattern, replaces the art deco-inspired Sherah pattern featured in the original. The liner adds some whimsy while still maintaining the elegance of the invitation. The foil and digital Quinn pattern is repeated on the belly band and pocket panel, along with a few accent flowers on the reply card.
