This trendy text based offset invitation suite was submitted to us by our wonderful friend, Liz at Gus & Ruby Letterpress in Portsmouth, New Hampshire. We were told the couple was looking for a type driven suite with a playful type – and we think this invitation encompasses that vision perfectly. We’re loving the cool hues and the simplicity of this creative suite. Our taupe and apricot inks simply blend so beautifully on our ivory bamboo paper. When picturing your own wedding invitation – you should toss in a bit of your own creativity to match back to your wedding venue or personalities.

It’s easy to get in the party mood when seeing these custom and vibrant offset invitations! These colorful invitations were submitted to us by our great friend Kerri at Anne Grace Designs in Dallas, Texas. We think you’ll agree that the color combination of coral and robin’s egg brings the perfect balance of bright hues. Not many people are aware that seahorses are a symbol for happiness and these invitations definitely have us feeling good vibes. Now, who’s ready for a fiesta?

If you’re looking for an autumnal feel in a wedding set and still want an elaborate design, then look no further! Shelby at Seaside Papery delivered a one-of-a-kind invitation set that pieced together tangerine, espresso, and grass inks in a way that just speaks to us.
Based on the Helani design, this one had a little bit of everything and has been used as a great example of how to celebrate in the fall.

We are so excited to kick off another round of the Smock Design Contest! Over the next 10 days, we’ll be honoring some really gorgeous designs that have been sent to us by our Smock retailers. So without further ado, let us begin by showcasing our first honoree!
Joellen and the team at Bennett Schneider, Inc. brought us what may be the perfect color selection for the letterpress wedding Aberdeen suite.
The tangerine ink helps this wedding announcement pop in such a way that it doesn’t overpower the design or distract from the details. Sometimes all it takes is a little tweak to make a letterpressed card look fantastic, and that is just what they did!

The last of our honorees from our latest Smock Design Contest, these letterpress bat mitzvah invitations were brought to us by two-time honoree LS Amster Co in Scarsdale, New York. They featured a vibrant customization of our Piedmont letterpress invitations, printed in hot pink and tangerine inks. The reverse features brilliant patterned backing in hot pink with envelopes lined in our rowe pattern. Hot pink edge painting is the perfect finishing touch, for a suite that is joyful and celebratory and perfect for this very special occasion.
These bright and elegant letterpress bat mitzvah invitations were printed for our good friends at Aileen Invitations in Miami. Featuring our Rhon design, they were printed in espresso and tangerine inks with envelopes lined in our payette pattern in tangerine. Pretty calligraphy accents and Hebrew text are the perfect finishing touch.
Today we’re excited to share this lovely custom letterpress wedding invitation design, second runner-up in our latest Smock Design Contest. Brought to us by our good friends at Judy Paulen Designs at Bloomingdale’s, it features a colorful mix of color and pattern that we just adore. The letterpress invitations were printed in mango and espresso inks and the inserts were letterpress printed in slate and espresso inks. All of the pieces were backed in our champlain pattern in mango and the envelopes were lined in champlain printed in reverse, white on mango.
Our special guest judge, Kristen Magee of Paper Crave says of her pick for second runner-up, “This suite oozes class without being staid, and the fantastic color choices and patterns give it a very modern feel. I also love the playfulness of the language on the reply postcard and rehearsal card. But the detail that put this invitation in my top three is the incredible patterned envelope liner. Love it!” Thank you to Kristen for helping us out with the judging and lots of love to Judy Paulen Designs for sending us this beautiful design!
