Navy Letterpress Wedding Invitation Suite

Navy letterpress is such a classic look that it pairs beautifully with almost any of our inks. We love how Judy Paulen Designs chose raspberry as the accent color to this letterpress wedding invitation suite. The couple also had a matching hang tags created as a miniature thank you note – a great way to say thanks at your reception!

Letterpress Fitzroy Wedding Invitations in Navy Ink

Our Fitzroy design looks rather fabulous printed in one color navy letterpress – and with all of the text in our plaza calligraphy font these text based invitations submitted by Aileen Invitations have a traditional look.  The invitations and reply cards are complete with corner rounding, which showcases the most gracious curves.  The edges of the cards are painted in navy and a solid envelope liner in navy completes this look perfectly.

Check out these personalized Tallulah letterpress baby announcements.  Our friends at Nest Paper Studio in Oxford, Mississippi submitted these precious baby announcements to us for printing.  The silhouette at the very top makes these all the more elegant and truly adds a personal touch.  We truly adore the bold color palette of our papaya and peacock inks on these.  We can only imagine how excited the proud family is to announce the arrival of their new bundle of joy!

Hope to see you Tsun-ami!!!

We printed these lovely pieces for the ultimate take-two wedding. The couples first attempt was thwarted by a hurricane, but, these newlyweds weren’t going to let a little weather ruin their special day. We went back to the drawing board with our friends at Judy Paulen Designs and whipped up these awesome Part II pieces. They combine beautiful offset and letterpress printing in our Navy ink. We were thrilled to be able to help them with their special day, even if the weather wasn’t going to cooperate.
