This invitation suite, from our friend Shayne of Ink Papery, embodies a classic, timeless style. The design is partially inspired by the clean layout, generous spacing, and restrained typography of both our Alcott and Theon designs. The couple, Kara and Matthew, added lovely personal details to transform their wedding stationery suite into something truly memorable.

An intertwined monogram of the couple’s initials is the centerpiece of the suite. This opulent monogram is an endearing, individualized touch. Guests caught their first glimpse of the custom monogram on the save the date.

The layout of both the save the date and the invitation provides generous spacing, so each element of the design can stand out. These cards rely on proportion and balance to create a look that is sophisticated and elegant. The typography is simultaneously traditional and contemporary.

All of the cards feature our cotton paper, which provides a soft, plush texture and holds a crisp letterpress impression. Holly letterpress ink adds subtle, unexpected color while maintaining a classic, enduring vibe. 

A hand-drawn sketch of the venue adorns the reception card. This inclusion creates a focal point and gives the suite a sense of place. The highly detailed architectural illustration provides yet another meaningful, personal component.

This entire wedding stationery suite is refined and traditional and so thoughtfully curated that it will never go out of style. It was an honor to help bring Kara and Matthew’s vision to life, and it’s always a pleasure to work with Ink Papery. Do you like the idea of wedding stationery that is elegant and timeless?
