Oversized letterpress wedding invitations for Kiera and Patrick’s fall wedding in NYC. We pressed tined white and black inks on thick 600g Lettra paper. Blind letterpress is an option here too, but the tint really helps the detail pop on the paper.
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.

Lovely client-designed invitation for a Crested Butte wedding. Deep Plum ink and Gold Satin foil on our 600g Pearl White cotton paper.
Duplexed, edge-painted, blind-debossed business cards for Portland's BRIGHT DESIGNLAB.
Since the subtlety of the blind-pressed pattern on the front of the card is crucial, we couldn't press both sides of the paper. So we printed the front and back on separate 300g sheets, the glued, trimmed, and edge-painted.

EDGES Black
Client-designed invitations with simple gray letterpress on the front and gold foil on the back. We printed the front and back on separate sheets then duplexed after printing for a thick card with no impression show-through.

FOIL Gold Shine
We've printed all sorts of variations on our Bookplate invitation design since we introduced it in 2011. This may be the starkest, simplest version — with Black ink on Pearl White paper.
Jennifer & Haley gave us their own logo/monogram to add to the reply card and envelopes.
