Silver & Dove Letterpress

The aptly named silver and dove inks make this letterpress wedding invitation set look both rich and tranquil.  Gus & Ruby Letterpress strikes again with this custom Engadine invitation.  The two-tone look draws the eye and the use of a #10 invite with a business card-sized reception card makes this one of our favorites.

Letterpress Rehearsal Invitation

We love hand bordering! Bringing metallic gold to the front of this rehearsal card was a great way for Rugg Road in Boston, MA to accentuate the silver font and shell-colored liner. I think Cristina did a fantastic job this one. It’s simple and elegant and we were very impressed.
