Elegant Foil Stamped Wedding Invitations featuring our Palmes Design

Today we’re thrilled to share the photos of Lauren & Jonathan’s custom Palmes wedding invitations! Lauren is a style editor for BizBash and worked with AaB Creates for her custom wedding invitations, which featured gold shine foil stamping and letterpress printing in our mulberry ink. Lauren worked with Little Flower Calligraphy & Gifts for the beautiful hand calligraphy on her envelopes, and she even ordered custom postage to match the invitation design! Many thanks to  Lauren for sharing these photos that her photographer, Jonathan Young, captured on her big day!

Classic Vettore Letterpress Invitation Suite

Today we’re excited to share photos from a couple who recently tied the knot! Elissa and Chris worked with Cambridge Street Papers for their classic Vettore wedding invitation suite, and were kind enough to share a few of the beautiful photos from their May wedding. We love the way the postage stamps tie in with the wedding bouquet — such a thoughtful touch!

Bat Mitzvah Letterpress Invitations inspired by our Dawson design

We had the joy of printing these GORGEOUS letterpress Bat Mitzvah invitations for our wonderful friends at PS Paper in San Anselmo, California.  We don’t think this suite could really be any sweeter, the submitted hand calligraphy used for the Sydney’s name adds a nice whimsical touch and the soft color palette keeps this set appropriate for a young girl’s important celebration.  The frame on the invitation is inspired by our Dawson design – and helps maintain the contemporary vibe.

Minimalistic Helani Bar Mitzvah Invitations

Write Next Door in Bethpage, New York sent in these contemporary Helani Bar Mitzvah invitations for printing.  Letterpressed in our espresso and grass inks, this earthy color palette helps keep this set looking youthful, but sophisticated and the three letter monogram at the very top is so classic.  The envelope is lined in our merritt pattern which we also adore because it matches perfectly to the bond border on the invitation.
