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!

For Sadie’s Bat Mitzvah, we customized our Robson design with a sophisticated color palette of yolk and midnight inks. The suite included Sadie’s letterpress Bat Mitzvah invitations – complete with a vibrant yolk patterned backing – along with reception cards, reply cards, a petite transportation card, and a flat social note. Finishing touches included a pearl patterned envelope liner, yolk edge painting, and a custom postage stamp design to match.

We worked with Jackie at Orrganics to customize our Finley Bat Mitzvah invitations for Elisabeth’s November celebration. The invitations featured gold matte foil stamping and yolk letterpress ink on our ultra thick 3-ply bamboo paper, with blind debossed floral accents adding a subtle design element. The invitations were corner rounded and edge painted in yolk ink, which coordinated with the pop of yellow on the invitations as well as the patterned envelope liners.

Talia and James put a unique spin on our rustic Cimarron invitation suite for their September wedding. The couple replaced the arrows in the Cimarron monogram with a crossed fork and knife, and their save the dates incorporated this motif along with fruits and veggies like pumpkins, cherries, apples and pears. We letterpress printed their save the dates and wedding invitations in lime ink, then edge painted the set with yolk ink. This fun invitation set was finished off with cheery yolk envelope liners in our Sherbrooke pattern.

We’re all for making an invitation suite all your own – and truly having fun when choosing customizations that reflect your personality. Our pewter and yolk inks shine in this cutting-edge letterpress Palmer suite – and we just can’t get enough of the fun embellishments seen throughout this set. We love that our plymouth die cut shape is carried through on the reply card, website card and accommodation cards. This peppy and colorful suite makes it difficult to shake the good vibes we’re feeling. We’re in the midst of the summer wedding season – and are excited to showcase a set with its own sense of style. Not to mention this invitation includes even more glam with a folio printed on both the interior and exterior – in very ultramodern patterns. The letterpress belly band in our ness pattern makes the perfect touch with a beautiful textured look. We’d like to give a HUGE thank you to our friend Enisha at The Dandelion Patch in Vienna, Virignia for sending us this imaginative customization!

We have Liz at Paper Place in Austin, Texas to thank for submitting this bright and beautiful Dawson invitation to us for printing. Lively and cheery are definitely adjectives that come to mind when taking a look these beauties! We feel that pairing our ocean and yolk inks together is the perfect choice for a wedding in early spring. When this is the time of year we’re used to seeing softer color palettes – pastels, too – it’s refreshing to see such a bubbly and bold invitation. The couple also chose a custom letterpress sleeve which adds even more pizazz!

Paper Place was also sweet enough to send along the accessory pieces they printed in house to coordinate with the letterpress wedding invitations we printed. The reply card, information card and rehearsal dinner card were sent along with the invitations. The larger reception invitation and registry card were sent separately by the groom’s parents. We love that the vibrant color palette is maintained throughout this set. We always adore working with the lovely ladies at Paper Place – and we’d like to give a huge THANK YOU to them!
Randi, owner of the Printed Page in Atlantic Beach, New York customized a bright and beautiful bridal shower invitation for her daughter, Kelly. We often design small cards for our Smock dealers in order to display our promotions, and the card that we designed for our free envelope printing promotion just so happened to inspire Randi.
Randi had mentioned that the shower would be held in April and would have an “April showers” theme. She explained that the party favors were going to be pink and yellow umbrellas and wanted an elegant invitation to tie everything together. She states, “The inspiration came from one of your designs that reminded me of a modern heart. Since this is a shower invite, I thought it was both feminine and relevant. I bought pink and yellow umbrellas for give away gifts for all of the guests, and I am attaching hang tags with the same design to the umbrellas with ribbon. The tags will be the place cards and the umbrellas will add color and fun to the place card table!”
Randi, congratulations to you and your daughter! These invitations are perfect!
