Amber at Hitched in Washington, DC submitted this lovely Odin wedding invitation suite to us for printing.  Letterpress printed in our navy ink and a custom purple ink, the combination of these two cool tones brings a feeling of joy to these modern invitations.  This set definitely has it all.  Each piece is letterpressed on our luxurious 2-ply bamboo paper and matches perfectly back to the charming and vivid invitation.  But we think the focal point of this suite is the letterpressed sleeve in our pastis pattern adding even more flair with the beautifully textured lines.  We thought this would be a fun and bubbly set to share with you at the start of the summer wedding season!

We’re all for making an invitation suite all your own – and truly having fun when choosing customizations that reflect your personality.  Our pewter and yolk inks shine in this cutting-edge letterpress Palmer suite – and we just can’t get enough of the fun embellishments seen throughout this set.  We love that our plymouth die cut shape is carried through on the reply card, website card and accommodation cards.  This peppy and colorful suite makes it difficult to shake the good vibes we’re feeling.  We’re in the midst of the summer wedding season – and are excited to showcase a set with its own sense of style.  Not to mention this invitation includes even more glam with a folio printed on both the interior and exterior – in very ultramodern patterns.  The letterpress belly band in our ness pattern makes the perfect touch with a beautiful textured look.  We’d like to give a HUGE thank you to our friend Enisha at The Dandelion Patch in Vienna, Virignia for sending us this imaginative customization!

This beautiful, and hardly “simple” custom design paired with a custom neon pink ink made one of the more dynamic letterpress sleeves we’ve seen yet. This was one of those letterpress invitation sets that got passed around from hand to hand, met by a series of “oohs” and “aahs.” Thanks so much to Simply Put by Ashley Woodman for all their hard work!

It’s easy to get swept away in these beautiful and delicate letterpress save the dates.  These beauties were submitted to us by our great friend, Nancy at Epitome Papers in Edina, Minnesota.  We think you’ll agree that these save the dates are current and look absolutely fabulous printed in three ink colors.  The oversized textured starfish is the perfect motif for a seaside wedding in Key Largo, Florida.  These save the dates are whimsical in their own right – while still being playful and chic.  The seahorse pattern envelope liner really makes a bold statement of what guests can expect as far as wedding atmosphere.  We can just close our eyes and feel the warmth of the golden sunshine and the white sandy beaches!

Dawson has proven to be one of our most popular letterpress wedding suites and with just the right nudge from Paper on the Avenue, the inks and patterns selected made this invitation set really sharp!

Our good friend, Shelby at Seaside Papery in Coronado, California submitted this lovely Burstell letterpress wedding suite for printing.  Talk about being pretty in pink with the most beautiful feminine touches!  We are totally smitten with the perfect pocketfold – offset printed on both the interior and exterior.  The taupe ink is such a soft, neutral tone- and when you pair this with a light shade of pink this set looks all the more delicate and truly picturesque.

We are so psyched about these recently printed custom Bar Mitzvah invitations submitted to us by our good friends at Proper Notice in Roslyn Heights, New York.   Letterpressed in navy and sky inks these invitations have that boyish charm that we’re all crazy about.  With clean lines this text based invitation looks crisp and contemporary.  Everything about this set says classic and the understated look is so endearing.  Just like any invitation would – Bar Mitzvah invitations help set the stage for the entire celebration and let guests know what to expect.  What a perfect way to celebrate this important and landmark occasion!

Our Sutton design looks prominent printed in mint and navy inks and we think you’ll find it easy to agree!  Our good friend, Jessica at Salutations in Charlotte, North Carolina submitted this letterpress suite to us for printing.  The repeating Sutton motif looks almost floral as the invitation background pattern – adding to the ornate feel.  On the exterior of the pocketfold – we have offset printed our sinclair pattern in navy – and on the folio interior the classic feel is seen within our sherbrooke pattern also in navy.  Blues and greens can be incredibly versatile ink colors when it comes to wedding invitations.  Navy ink is a superb choice for a sunset ceremony whereas mint can match back to the fauna at the wedding venue.

We’re always excited to see the creative and unique invitation orders from Michelle at Paperkiss in Balmain, Australia.  This beyond beautiful custom invitation is letterpressed in our glacier ink which adds even more to the nautical design.  Such a soft color palette makes this invitation even more charming!  We also feel the soft hue helps set a romantic atmosphere for the upcoming nuptials.  We’ve heard that starfish represent a love that cannot be measured – and this makes this invitation all the more sweet!

Our Dawson design is one of our most popular here at Smock – and we always get really psyched to see the ways couples customize this suite to truly make it all their own!  Take a look at this rustic Dawson suite submitted to us by our friend, Jahna at The Pleasure of your Company in Lutherville, Maryland.  Not only does a fresh color palette make a set all the more trendy, but richer tones also have a way of bringing warmth to a wedding invitation.  There’s almost a comforting feeling in such an earthy and bold color palette.  Then toss in our sherbrooke envelope liner for even more sophistication!
