We worked with Rugg Road Paper Company to create these sophisticated Fitzroy rehearsal dinner invitations. Simple and elegant, these invitations were letterpress printed in our ocean ink and feature Plaza, one of our exclusive calligraphy fonts.

These letterpress rehearsal dinner invitations from Stationer on Sunrise are so simple and sweet. We created several inserts for this set — including invitations for the welcome party, rehearsal dinner, and brunch — which were all tucked inside of the cutest monogrammed invitation sleeve. Coral and ocean edge-painting added an extra pop of color and a pretty finishing touch.

We love the way these rehearsal dinner and brunch invitations tie several different patterns together. Our Emory frame cartouche is included on all of the cards, but varying patterns surround the frame on the rehearsal dinner invitation, brunch card, and reply card. The airy, tropical color palette of sea mist and papaya helps set the tone for these fun wedding weekend events.

In August, we had the opportunity to be a part of Gus and Ruby’s 4th Birthday! We wanted to share some of the amazing photos taken by Emilie Inc Photography from the event. I jumped on the chance to travel to Portsmouth, New Hampshire to help them celebrate, and what fun we had! Samantha and Whitney are some pretty incredible ladies, and their impeccably curated store shows their passion and knowledge for beautiful paper goods. The space was dressed to the nines for the event, complete with a huge display of Smock product, a treats table (did someone say Blueberry Lemonade Popsicles?), and a pinwheel craft station. All in all, it was a perfect way to celebrate 4 successful years of business….here’s to 40 more!
