Preppy pineapple moving announcements

Digitally printed in pink, yellow, and navy inks, these petite moving announcements bear the universal symbol for hospitality: the pineapple. The recorded history of the hospitality pineapple dates back to the late 1400’s. At the time, pineapples were an uncommon luxury, and were displayed and served to guests to provide a warm welcome. We can’t think of a better way to invite family and friends into a new home!

Parisian Bat Mitzvah Invitations

Our Dawson design received a pretty Parisian makeover for these feminine Bat Mitzvah invitations! The design was customized for Emily’s celebration with a pretty color palette of whisper and pewter inks, paired with a pop of fuchsia shine foil. French bistro inspired stripes and a simple pewter envelope liner in our Champlain pattern added to the beauty of this invitation set.

Delicate floral letterpress + foil stamped wedding invitations

This pretty take on our Keira design was dreamed up by our friends at Alpine Creative Group. They kept the design elements for these letterpress and foil stamped wedding invitations the same as the original, but traded sea mist ink for our more feminine, pale pink whisper ink. The end result is so romantic!

Pretty Pink Polka Dotted Baby Announcements

Announcing a “blue eyed baby girl with chubby cheeks” calls for a letterpress baby announcement that is pretty and pink – and that’s exactly what the Inviting Place sent over for us to print! We fell in love with the soft and feminine look of whisper and mint used throughout.

Letterpress in Beijing – The Big Day!

Seeing an order become a design is great. Seeing a design become a letterpress printed invitation is better. But when we get to see photos of our invitations in the hands of the happy couple and shots of their important day…well that just reminds us how much the hard work can pay off. Thanks so much to Michele at the Wedding Company in Hong Kong and well done to Adam Sjöberg for Ira Lippke Studios for the amazing camera work! The reception looked gorgeous and we are very honored to have played some small role in making that day special. Read our previous post about the letterpress wedding invitations.

Hong Kong knows Letterpress Invitations

This is the first order sent to us from The Wedding Company in Hong Kong and we already can’t wait to see what’s coming next! Michele uses a combination of whisper and pearl inks to give a wonderful 2-color accent to the invitation text of this Dawson-inspired design. The border chosen frames the English invitation as well as the Mandarin one in such a beautiful way. We are very happy to showcase our newest friends, particularly when this is the quality of the invitations they come up with. Well done Wedding Company!
