Nevis is one of our hot letterpress invitation designs right now (perfect for fall or winter weddings!)–we loved seeing it as a birthday party invitation too, and the striped patterning on the back is pitch-on perfect. It’s such a classic, sophisticated design with an edge of cool. Sent to us by William Ernest Brown in Beverly Hills, California.

What do our invitations and social stationery do once the sun goes down? Good question! We were curious too. So what better way to spend a Saturday evening then sprawled on our stomachs, camera in hand, in the dark, with all sorts of creepy crawly creatures that come out in the night, to capture pics of our invitations in a very subtle light. Okay, okay, so we were also inspired by what we’ve seen in fashion magazines lately, as well as on some of our favorite blogs here and here, and also we wanted to show our invitations as being more than pretty, because they are.
