    Wedding Invitations for Jon & Christen
    February 9, 2012

    Letterpress Wedding Invitations

    Today we’re posting photos of a wedding invitation we printed for Jon & Christen for their Long Island summer wedding. Jon, creative director at Long Island Press, designed the invitation suite. We wanted to share the set because it mixes letterpress and flat printing, something that we’ve been doing more of lately. You can check out Jon & Christen’s wedding website at sasalas.com.

    Letterpress/Foil for Korissa & Ken
    November 14, 2011

    Korissa & Ken Foil/Letterpress Invitations

    A stylish save the date and invitation designed by Korissa Tsuyuki

    We’ve worked with Korissa before – printing her business cards – so we new we were in for a treat! She designed this custom save the date and invitation using a perfect mix of patterns and typography. We had almost as much fun photographing the finished pieces as we did printing them. Check out the mix of foil stamping and letterpress after the break.

    Invitation Ideas: Combining Letterpress & Digital
    September 21, 2011

    Letterpress & Digital Wedding Booklet

    A special invitation booklet we recently produced.

    Combining printing techniques isn’t something new to us but we think the use of digital and letterpress printing in these custom wedding booklets is really smart! The booklet was designed by the groom, Aramazt Kalayjian, as a way to keep all of the information neatly organized.

    We’re no stranger to envelopes stuffed full for a wedding suite and sometimes it can be a bit much to keep all of the pieces together. A booklet is definitely a great choice if you’re having a destination wedding. This is our second post in our new series on Invitation Ideas (previous post: RSVP Liner), let us know what you think about this set after the break.

    Wine Bottle Letterpress Wedding Invites
    August 31, 2011

    Wine Bottle Letterpress Invitation

     We love the playful use of type as a background for these invites.

    Fayna & James were getting married at the NY Botanical Gardens, a wonderful place filled with natural beauty. They worked with Mark & Stef (www.marketstef.ca), a design duo based out of Verdun, Quebec in Canada to create the suite of pieces. We really loved the combination of all the pieces, each one had its own style. The finished pieces were definitely something that anyone would be proud to hang up on their fridge.
