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.

As promised, we have one more fun customization of our Dewdrop letterpress wedding invitation design to share this week. This unique customization, printed for a wedding in Hawaii, makes the most of bright tropical colors perfect for this wedding held on the island of Maui. The letterpress invitation itself features the same vibrant spring green and garden inks of the original design, but plays with pairing our Salzburg script font with the clean lines of a simple sans serif font. The letterpress reply card, printed in punchy shades of papaya and fuchsia, really plays up the tropical feel and sets the stage for a celebration in the Hawaiian islands. Using two different ink colors for the reply card is also a really fun and festive way to work four ink colors into a design and add a personal touch to your letterpress wedding invitations. Have we mentioned before how much we love Dewdrop? Because we really really love seeing how couples make this design their own and getting the opportunity to print so many cool variations.

Our Cartoccio letterpress wedding invitation design has become a fast favorite and it’s easy for us to see why – it is so incredibly chic! This customization is one of our favorites that we’ve recently printed, because it’s so lovely and so luxurious. Printed on our 2-ply ivory paper in 2-color letterpress, this invitation set is an absolute showstopper. Featuring garden and antique gold inks, it’s a look that is modern, but with the all of the subtle formality of a more traditional letterpress invitation design. Paired with fabulous letterpress printed envelopes with beautiful metallic gold liners, this invitation is rich in detail and personality. Even the reply cards are printed on our luxurious 2-ply paper for a finished look that is completely polished. We can’t get enough!
While we certainly love elaborate 2 or 3 color letterpress wedding invitations, we get really excited to print fabulous designs in one fantastic ink color. Not only is it a budget-friendly letterpress option, but it really adds a special touch to the design. Especially if you’re only planning to incorporate one primary color in your event, or if you’re still debating colors to pair with your favorite shade as you plan, 1-color letterpress wedding invitations are stunning. Both of these customizations feature 2-color designs that have been turned into really lovely 1-color invitations.
This vibrant version of our Dewdrop design is printed in mango. We love how it is both elegant and fun, a bit of a modern edge paired with beautiful hand calligraphy. It’s a little bit unexpected and a whole lot beautiful.
Mimosa is one of our favorite new designs and this custom version, printed in garden ink, is no exception. Printed for an outdoor wedding at a riverfront camp in Texas, this letterpress wedding invitation is the perfect complement to the natural setting of the event.
