Nautical letterpress save the date

This save the date gives “tying the knot” a whole new meaning. Lianne and Nick worked with Ipanema Press to make their nautical letterpress save the date vision come to life. The majority of the card printed in Navy letterpress let the touch of Gold letterpress on the names pop off the page. Additionally, the grommeted card with twine pulled through made this petite card even more unique. Since the couple married in the nautical setting of Peconic Bay Yacht Club, this save the date matches the aesthetic of the venue perfectly.

Modern gold wedding invitations with watercolor accents

Amanda and Eric chose our Ellory design for their April wedding in Texas, opting for a gold color palette with pastel blue and green watercolor accents. We worked with our friends at Needle in a Haystack to create the set, which included a cute weekend festivities card and a response card in addition to the gold foil stamped invitations. An ocean-inspired watercolor envelope liner introduced a third color and complemented the mint green watercolor accents on each insert card beautifully.

Intricate Ballymagarvey Village letterpress invitations

Leanne and Joseph worked with Appleberry Press to create their intricate letterpress wedding invitations depicting their wedding venue, Ballymagarvey Village. Printed in classic black ink, the invitations include incredibly fine detailing — right down to the idyllic ivy vines growing along the house! Lush gold florals added a romantic touch to the invitation envelopes, and continued on to the envelope liners.

Thanking you with Gold Foil

Nothing says “thank you” like pressed foil! For an invitation order, it’s expected that a thank you card would be much simpler. However, Alisa from The Write Stuff in Tampa has found a way to enhance the card without sacrificing writing space. Using the two foils from the Tatra suite is a great way to incorporate foil into additional card types.
