Silver & Dove Letterpress

The aptly named silver and dove inks make this letterpress wedding invitation set look both rich and tranquil.  Gus & Ruby Letterpress strikes again with this custom Engadine invitation.  The two-tone look draws the eye and the use of a #10 invite with a business card-sized reception card makes this one of our favorites.

Engadine Design – Elegance with a Touch of the Contemporary

Our navy and hot pink inks have never looked so pretty together! Gus & Ruby Letterpress in Portsmouth, New Hampshire submitted this elegant letterpress wedding suite featuring our Engadine design, which looks amazing next to the bouts of color included on the folio. Hot pink envelope liners add a gorgeous pop of color that guests might not be expecting when opening their invitation.

Smock in the Press – Fall 2012

Letterpress wedding invitations and greeting cards from Smock have been spotted in some amazing places lately, and today we’re excited to share the features that Smock has been a part of this fall! For their Fall 2012 issue, Inside Weddings magazine included a custom wedding invitation set from Smock that featured a letterpress sleeve and combined two of our most popular designs: our floral Rhon design paired with elements from our more modern Dawson design.

Brides magazine featured one of our new, foil stamped wedding invitation designs and matching invitation sleeve — our whimsical Tatra customization — as part of their November issue.

Coastal Living included several of our products in their October 2012 issue as part of their “8 Steps to a Stress-Free Work Zone” feature. Our Bicyclette and Chatham scratchpads ($7 each) and our Breakers notebook ($9 each) are perfect reasons to take a break from technology to write down notes the old-fashioned way.

Letterpressed Dawson Suite Looking Flashy in Orchid Ink

We were overjoyed to print this unique and flashy one color Dawson suite.   Submitted by our friends at RSVP in Plymouth, Michigan – this playful and chic set features just a few of the cool embellishments Smock has to offer.  Our orchid ink helps make this set look royal, while still maintaining the modern feel.  We’ve offset the back of the invitations and reception cards in our polka pattern in lime ink, which cleverly matches back to the dots on the invitation.
