Elizabeth and Zachary worked with our dear friend Ellen from Proper Notice to create these charming, vintage rose-inspired letterpress wedding invitations. The entire suite is lovely, from the vellum gatefold to the vintage artwork, which work together to give the cards a classic, elegant vibe.

The letterpress wedding invitations are timeless and feature a traditional layout. Our smooth cotton paper is luxuriously soft and holds a deep and crisp letterpress impression, which really showcases the flourishes of the script font used for the bride and groom’s names. A vellum gatefold wraps around the understated invitation. A vintage rose pattern is digitally printed on the gatefold, elevating the entire look. The gatefold makes the invitation almost like a present that the guests get to unwrap. Guests are also treated to the rose artwork on the envelope liner.

The welcome drinks card appears in digital printing with the same floral artwork as the gatefold and envelope liner. The text appears on a semitransparent white box. This design keeps the text clearly legible while letting the vintage artwork underneath peek through.

The reply card features a more simplified design, similar to the invitation. A QR code on the reply card makes it quick and easy for guests to reply. This straightforward layout is a good choice, because it allows guests to focus on the QR code and replying.
