NEW 2019 Letterpress Wedding Invitations

Five new letterpress wedding invitation designs are out! Let’s take a look:


FERN

Tonal green-on-green letterpress with crisp copper foil, Fern is one of three new 2019 designs on our Parklife Colors paper. Great for island weddings, rainforest rehearsal dinners, deep woods baby showers, you name it.  We like to pair the Forest green invitation with Ecru reply cards and envelopes for easier writing. But if you prefer Forest paper and envelopes all around, that's an option too.

TIMBERLINE

Timberline pairs a soft matte inkjet-printed watercolor image with stark black letterpress type on our house cotton paper. Great for the Pacific Northwest, or anywhere pine trees are found. An inkjet run is priced the same as one letterpress ink, so the Timberline set is priced as a two-color design.

NIGHTSHADE

Tonal navy-on-navy letterpress cherry blossoms alongside rose gold foil text. This one can be adapted with other sorts of flowers too. Let us know what you have in mind! As with the Fern design, we can use either dark Parklife Colors paper or white cotton paper for the reply cards and envelopes (for easier writing).

VERANDA

Airy, playful, and charming, our Veranda wedding invitation pairs nicely with any outdoor spring or summer event. If you like, swap out the seafoam ink for another light/bright color to suit your taste.

HARVEST

Gold Shine foil and Dust letterpress ink on 300g Harvest paper. The detail in the oak leaf on this one is amazing! Harvest is lovely with gold foil, but can also be printed with letterpress ink (Cocoa, Espresso, and Black are great options) and you'll save a little money. We can pair these with Harvest-colored envelopes or with our white cotton envelopes if you'd prefer.

Belvedere in Lavender

Our Belvedere invitation is traditionally rather formal — printed with a graphite ink and a blind impression for a bold but stark feel. But Maura and Matthew wanted something a little more playful and a touch more Downton Abbey. So we swapped out the Mrs Eaves text and Burgues Script for the more lighthearted combo of Carlton and Parfumerie, punched up the color with two shades of lavender, and opted for a prim and proper flourish motif.

A Gold-foiled Whirl

For Courtney and Ben's set, we started with our popular Whirl invitation, but added gold foil and edge paint for some extra pizzazz.

The original Whirl uses gold ink, which has just the slightest hint of metallic shimmer. But gold foil is something else entirely — it's extremely shiny with a reflective mirrored look. And if you'd like something in between, our gold satin foil is a little less intense than the gold shine used here.

For paper, Courtney and Ben went with our thick and textured soft white 600g Arturo in a 5x7 size with rounded corners. We finished out the set with our euro-flap Arturo envelopes and a gold foil + black letterpress flap.

Ostrich Invitations

At the time of this post, a Google image search for "ostrich wedding invitation" turns up not a single invite with a full ostrich. Ostrich feathers, sure. But no full birds. Chia and Kendall sought to change that, and we were happy to help.

Using our Fountain invitation as a template, we added a confidently-posed custom-drawn ostrich to the top, and carried the artwork through to website cards and thank you notes (notes regrettably not pictured).
