Environmental Invitation Set

Meg's fiance is a rancher, so of course, all of their wedding stationery needed to be natural and rustic with a bit of elegance. We used a plantable seed paper for the save the date. For the invitation, we blind debossed a tree and letterpress printed the wording in green on double thick bamboo cardstock. To complete the rustic elegance, the envelope and response postcard were kraft-colored environment papers.

Featuring: plantable seed cardstock for save the date, bamboo 200lb cardstock for invitation, desert storm environment cardstock for response postcard, letterpress printing and blind debossed tree on invitation, custom drawn map, custom designed envelope liner, baker's twine and website tag

Blind Debossed Wedding Invitations

When meeting with Meghan, it was so nice that she already had a vision for her invitations. She loves letterpress printing and wanted to incorporate flowers into the design. Since I'm obsessed with letterpress printing, I couldn't wait to get started. I designed a 5" x 7" invitation, letterpress printed in gray with the floral design blind debossed into the 110lb Crane's Lettra cover stock. I love the subtle look of the flowers as it brings in a vintage style to it.

Features: Letterpress printing, blind debossing, 110lb Crane's Lettra cover stock in Pearl and computer printed calligraphy (of guest addresses) on face of envelope.

Romantic Garden Wedding

What's more romantic than getting married in a garden?! With that in mind and incorporating colors of blush pink, silver and ivory, I created an invitation with a whimsical yet elegant frame overlaying a pink floral lace design.

The invitation and response card were letterpress printed on Crane's Lettra cotton cover stock. Edges of the cards were given soft round edges. The invitation was affixed to a beautiful silver metallic cardstock and backed with another layer of the Lettra cotton stock. The two backings added depth to the invitation as well as weight. 

I custom designed a monogram for the couple and had it printed on pink metallic cardstock to act as a belly band wrapped around the invitation.  Finally, the envelopes were lined in the same pink metallic paper.

The letterpress printed foldover thank you notes complemented the invitation design and incorporated their monogram; a pink metallic envelope was used.
