Pretty purple and blue letterpress Bat Mitzvah invitations

We always love seeing what kind of Rainier customizations our clients will dream up next. These pretty purple and blue letterpress Bat Mitzvah invitations are a perfect example of a harmonious color combination. Pansy, Gossamer, and Azure all came together in different ways throughout this suite, yet still tied back to the original invitation color palette. The Rainier pattern was another consistent element used in different ways that created visual interest and gave each card a sense of individuality. To give the set an extra dose of playfulness, an envelope liner was added to tie all the colors and pattern together effortlessly.

These fun surprise birthday party invitations were printed for Steve’s 65th birthday celebration. We customized our Rainier design in a sleek color palette of platinum shine foil paired with taupe letterpress ink. A custom belly band with the word “Shhhhhh…” was the first thing guests would read upon opening this handsome invitation. Rainier patterned envelope liners added an elegant finishing touch.
