We worked with RSVP Hingham to create these silver letterpress invitations with a nautical flair. The invitation backdrop of the sea faded so that the silver ink remains legible. Inspired by our Fulton design, they made the design their own with a vertical orientation. Two nautical motifs set the tone at the top of the affair to come. The other pieces printed in Sand and Sea Mist kept the cool color palette. The reply card uses the water background as well with the text knocked out in white. Finally, the patterned envelope liner added a graphic design element that mimics the border on the details card.
We completely transformed our Vista design to create Rachel’s pastel Bat Mitzvah invitations. An ever-so-subtle wash of digitally printed sea mist ink gave a soft, ocean-like look to the main invitations, while gold matte foil highlighted Rachel’s name and gave a glowing effect to the tiny stars sprinkled throughout the design. A striped watercolor envelope liner featured a gradient effect starting with varying shades of blue at the bottom and transitioning to the palest shade of purple at the top.

We created a minimalist floral look for Eleanor’s Bat Mitzvah invitations by customizing our Ossa design in sea mist and midnight letterpress inks. The square invitation featured a simple border and clean, sophisticated fonts, while the reply card and reception card each had a similar vibe and featured coordinating vine-like motifs. Sea mist envelope liners in our Phelps pattern tied the set together.
Printed in a soft color pairing of dove and sea mist inks, these sweet letterpress baby shower invitations for Evie feature our Ellie and Aneto motifs, along with our exclusive Clermont calligraphy font. In addition to the pertinent event information, an email address was provided for guests to reply online, and registry info was also included on the card.

Stephanie and William worked with Union Street Papery’s exclusive in-house calligrapher Mo Seder to create custom hand calligraphy for their sophisticated letterpress wedding invitations. Printed in a soft color palette of jute and sea mist inks on our ivory paper, these elegant wedding invitations helped set the tone for the couple’s recent wedding at the William Aiken House in downtown Charleston. Their invitation set included a petite website card to provide guests with additional information as well as classic reply cards. Both insert cards featured our Evans motif, which added a subtle hint of color.

We love the pattern play on these sweet birth announcements that we printed for Luke’s arrival last summer. Inspired by our Roxbury design, these letterpress birth announcements pair sea mist and midnight inks on our white paper, with a digitally printed black & white photo as the main focus. A striped patterned envelope liner added some contrast to the chevron patterning used on the announcement.

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.
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.
The sweetest little sea mist heart highlighted Liza & Richie’s special day on their Chapman letterpresssave the dates. Corner rounding and a custom stamp featuring the same little blue heart were added on as finishing touches.
We were excited to print this custom artwork submitted by RSVP Today. The whimsical floral pattern paired with our Plymouth die really enhances the overall look of the invitation. The additional pieces are charming and perfectly correspond with the invite in the sweetest color palette.
