These small, squared letterpress save the dates were submitted to us by our friends at Union Street Papery. Both cards are foil edged in gold matte which enhances the gold grommets used to keep the weekend details and save the date information all in one place.

We think the combo of letterpress and foil stamping on these simplistic wedding invitations are a winning duo! The couple opted to print on our smaller rectangle size, which is a nice way to keep a set a bit more cost effective. Thanks go out to out to Union Street Papery for submitting these for us to print!

Printed in gold and coral letterpress, these wedding invitations surely are overflowing with sweetness and simplicity. With a detailed starfish motif taking center stage these modern invitations do not prefer to splash around in the shallow end. Can you see the barefoot beaches and rays of sunshine on their wedding day? We can! Thanks Union Street Papery for sending these our way.

Baby announcements are just plain fun! We love the adorable little dragon artwork that was submitted by Union Street Papery. He looks like he’s excited about the new arrival too, as he playfully bounds over the granby pattern. The use of the same pattern for the liner was a great addition when chosen to be printed in reverse.

Union Street Papery in San Francisco, California submitted these darling baby announcements to us for printing. We think these announcements letterpress printed in cherry + sky inks welcome baby boy in the most adorable fashion. Here at Smock we offer a wide array of motifs for baby – so there’s definitely a lot to inspire proud parents. We fell in love with the bright color palette – which we thought was perfect for a new baby boy.

Does it get any cuter than this? Take a look at these absolutely stunning save the dates submitted to us by our wonderful friends at Union Street Papery in San Francisco, California. Hole drilled with beautiful silver grommets attached so as the save the date swivels, you can read up about accommodations for the wedding weekend! Our Robson design looks chic letterpressed in our spring and midnight inks. We know we don’t have to tell you that these days everyone has busy schedules!

Save the dates are a great way to give your guests advance notice of the wedding date so you can be sure they’ll be in attendance for the big day!

Traditional wedding meets modern design in this wedding suite from our friends at Union Street Papery. They put together this beautiful suite using our Talmossen design, which uses a traditional feel font and pairs it with modern design accents. This suite was done on our white Bamboo paper in Taupe ink. This was a wedding that brought together two cultures with invitations done in both English and Spanish version. All the pieces were finished off with metallic silver edge painting and the inner envelope was paired with a custom offset liner (our Fleming Design in Espresso) to give it that modern look.
