Ocean inspired 50th Birthday Party invitations

A lavish affair calls for a special invitation! We customized our Walsh design for Jeffrey’s 50th birthday party invitations by changing the orientation and adding a conch shell from our motif library. We also included ocean inspired motifs on the events card, which outlined the various activities being offered to guests during the three day celebration.

Romantic custom letterpress wedding invitations + save the dates

We worked with Raegan at Papel New York to create Carrie & Dan’s custom letterpress wedding invitations and save the dates.  We letterpress printed their 3-color invitations, which featured beautiful, hand-drawn roses and flourishes, while the reply cards included a sweet illustration of their precious pup. The set also included a hand-illustrated map, complete with custom artwork depicting Nashville and key locations like hotels and the venue – the Cheekwood Botanical Garden & Museum of Art

Roxbury B’not Mitzvah Invitations + Festive Party Ideas

For our Roxbury B’not Mitzvah invitations, we picture a vibrant celebration filled with lots of color and style. This invitation suite features a variety of our patterns in sea mist and papaya inks, so for a Roxbury-styled party we’d have colorful candy, fun fizzy drinks and a cute photobooth backdrop with colors and patterns to play off the invitations.

Vibrant glacier + gold foil stamped wedding invitations

We love when our clients customize their invitations and have fun with all of our patterns! These custom wedding invitations from Lion in the Sun were inspired by our Palmes customization and feature our van pattern on the front and our lashar pattern on the back. Gold matte foil stamping ups the elegance factor while a pretty patterned envelope liner in our papaya ink adds an extra pop of color.

Cheerful Aneto letterpress wedding invitations

It’s still cold and snowy here in Central New York, but these cheerful Aneto letterpress wedding invitations have us dreaming of warmer days! Our vibrant papaya ink was used throughout the entire set of these happy, floral invitations, which included a small square accommodations card as well as a separate reception card. A colorful papaya envelope liner in our fete pattern tied everything together!

Playful patterned rehearsal dinner & brunch invitations

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.

Colorful Odin Letterpress Save the Date

Every client has a set budget and it can be difficult to balance cost with design.  Judy Paulen Designs knows just how to do this. By scaling the save the date size down from the standard, they free up a little room to add all the bells and whistles the client was hoping to include. The Odin design is pretty dynamic to begin with and when given the opportunity to add embellishments, the back pattern and envelope liner served as a perfect compliment.
