Nautical Themed Reception Menus
A lovely double sided menu that features the couples names in navy ink on one side, and then the actual menu details in slate ink on the reverse. The whole shebang was offset printed on a text-weight version of our bamboo paper and submitted by our friends at Seaside Papery.

Guest Post: DIY Hand-Lettered Invitations on Smock Lettersheets from Rock Paper Scissors!
Here’s how she did it:
- Using a fine tip blue marker, she wrote out the details of the event in fun styles on plain computer paper.
- She then scanned her design and used Photoshop to scale it to the proper size.
- After adjusting her computer’s printer settings to accommodate the size of the stationery, she simply fed the stationery sheets into her printer to create perfectly printed, customized invitations.
- To complete the look, she dolled up the envelopes with rubber stamps in nautical designs and bedecked them with the addresses of her hopeful attendees.
- Dropped them in the {SNAIL} mail and waited for her guest’s reactions!
The party itself was decked out in Smock goodies—from the birthday present from her parents (using Smock’s double-sided Oxford gift wrap) and the cupcake liners (also using the gift wrap), Courtney’s party sent us sailing! We love this custom, hand-lettered invite and party details and can’t wait for the next opportunity to celebrate EVERYTHING with creative paper goods! 
Thanks so much to Lisa for sharing this fabulous DIY project and nautical party with us! Have a creative DIY project of your own that features Smock products? Send it to us today!
Wash away in a sea of love with these Custom Letterpress Save the Dates
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!

Coastal Letterpress Invitations in Glacier Ink
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!

Go under the sea with these nautical inspired letterpressed invitations!
We’ve really fallen off the deep end for these custom, nautical-inspired letterpress wedding invitations submitted to us by our friend Annie at Hitched in Washington DC. We can’t argue that this is the perfect match to the couple’s wedding venue at South Seas Island Resort in Captiva Island, Florida. We adore the reply card printed in our hot pink for a real pop of color! The simplistic look and delicate feel of this set nearly has us overboard!
