Opulent Letterpress Save the Date and Details Card
This bold letterpress save the date features an extravagant typography-inspired look. The couple, Elaine and Matthew, were inspired by the Gilded Era grandeur of the Metropolitian Club and worked with our NYC store to create their luxurious save the date and details cards.
The couple chose our now-retired Corwin save the date design. We periodically retire designs, which means we no longer maintain samples. Although you can still select and customize any of our retired designs.
The original design, seen above on the left, features foil stamping on our Bordeaux 2-ply paper. The couple opted to use a letterpress ink color reminiscent of the paper of the original, paired with our Bella smooth cotton white 2-ply stock, as seen above on the right. The contrast between the deep, rich color of the ink and the white paper adds to the design’s intensity, while the thick stock is luxurious and holds a deep letterpress impression, perfectly showcasing the exquisite flourishes of the sweeping script font. The text slightly tips upward across each line, creating a dramatic effect.
