Regal Letterpress and Foil Invitations

This couple wanted their invitations to be graceful, elegant, and enduring, and they certainly made that happen. Hannah and Burton worked with our dear friend Jena of Big City Bride to customize our Carmichael design. These letterpress and foil invitations are regal, effortless, and peak sophistication.

A delicate wreath-inspired monogram adds a personal detail and crest-like feel. A thin line border in powder blue frames the invitation, while edge painting in our deep blue ink, a slightly darker hue, adds depth and a burst of color. A vellum gatefold wraps around the invitation and is secured with a decadent silk ribbon. Floral artwork digitally printed in white adorns the gatefold for a subtle yet impactful look.

Our Bella Smooth Cotton stock in bright white is crisp and plush and holds a deep letterpress impression, making it the perfect foundation for this design. The ornate script font cascades across the paper, adding tradition and romance. The use of gold matte foil for the script text further emphasizes the font’s swooping flourishes.

Design elements from the invitation appear thoughtfully throughout the suite. The welcome party card and rehearsal dinner invite reverse the invitation’s color palette and feature white digital printing on our dark blue stock. The floral pattern from the wreath encircling the monogram and the gatefold is letterpress-printed on the reception card and blind-embossed on the rehearsal dinner invitation. The border on the details card matches the border on the invitation. These deliberate design choices ensure consistency across all of the cards.
