    Jina Dots Wedding Invitation
    November 7, 2008

    Jina Dots Letterpress Wedding Invitations - Whole Set

    Jina is a designer we have worked with in the past (grape vine letterpress wedding invitations) and if you have seen her designs you know that she is very talented. She designed this invitation set for her own wedding and we are very happy with how they turned out. The invitation features a beautiful vector flower design letterpress printed in purple ink and text in dark gray ink. The invitation is printed on 179# 100% cotton paper that has a slight texture (which is different from our house stock which comes in 110# and 220#).

     The reply card continues the floral theme with a single flower and text printed in purple ink. This 179# paper is great if you want wedding invitations printed on paper that isn’t heavily textured. The RSVP card is paired with an envelope that has a great purple polka dot design letterpress printed on the front with the address in dark gray.

     Jina also designed what we think is just about the coolest map and direction card around. The direction card incorporates the purple and dark gray colors as well as the polka dot theme and is the same size as the invitation. The invitation set envelope is lined in a bright purple and white polka dot paper which is a great match for this set. Take a look at our letterpress wedding invitation album on flickr for more pictures of this set.

    Monogram Letterpress Wedding Invitations
    June 4, 2008

    Grace & Arthur Wedding Invitations - Whole Set

    Grace and Arthur contacted us because they wanted a classic invitation to compliment their wedding, so we put together a simple yet elegant design. The invite features a monogram in chartreuse and text in gold ink letterpress printed on cotton paper, wrapped with a matching ribbon and mounted on stardream paper. The combination of textures on the invitation between the ribbon, the letterpress design, and the stardream paper give it a unique look and feel which we love.

    The addresses on the invite and RSVP envelope were wax printed and the invite envelope was lined with a chartreuse swirl vine design which brought a little extra flair to the invitation set. The RSVP card was letterpress printed on the same cotton paper using gold ink which matched the shimmer of the stardream paper used on the invitation.

    The last unique part of this invitation set are the custom pink pineapple wax seals with adhesive backs. They are a great way to bring extra flair to your wedding invitations. We are now offering custom wax seals in any size, PMS color, and design for invitations, announcements, stationery, or for whatever your want. We can even go as far as scenting them. More details on the wax seals will follow shortly. For more information, please feel free to contact us.
