Chapman Bar Mitzvah Invitations with Chevron Patterned Backing

We customized our Chapman design for William’s Bar Mitzvah invitations. The invitation featured pewter and dove inks, with a pop of persimmon on the monogram, edge painting, and patterned backing. The reply cards were printed in persimmon ink and the directions card was printed in pewter. Colorful chevron envelope liners combining all three colors  tied the entire set together.

Custom Letterpress Rehearsal Dinner Invitations

We worked with Elizabeth at Fresh Ink to create these custom letterpress rehearsal dinner invitations. Printed in gold and mocha letterpress inks, the invitations featured our plaza calligraphy font and a custom patterned backing. The invitations tucked neatly into a Juliette style sleeve, which included a gold letterpress printed monogram and our Balsam Wreath cartouche. A separate invitation for evening cocktails was also created to coordinate with the set, and the custom pattern that was printed on the back of the rehearsal dinner invitations was repeated for the envelope liners. All of the pieces combined to make an incredibly elegant invitation set!
