Nicole and Michael worked with our Bella Figura NYC store to customize our Hadaway design for their destination wedding. The nuptials were held at the Ottolire Resort in southern Italy, and these letterpress invitations, complete with hand calligraphy, captured the romance of the couple’s love story and the region.

The overall color palette creates a look that feels both charming and refined. The rich letterpress border adds depth and formality, while the delicate hand calligraphy by Virginia Lucas Hart introduces a sense of timeless romance. The mix of flowing calligraphy for the names and clean serif text for the details strikes that perfect balance between traditional and contemporary.
The striped envelope liner adds a playful, preppy touch, infusing the design with a lighthearted vibe. Paired with the deep burgundy envelope, the look feels cohesive.
A mounting card with a belly band is adhered to the back of the invitation. A custom monogram featuring the couple’s initials adorns the belly band, which secures the reply and details cards. This ensures all cards are held in place within the envelope and allows for a neat presentation.

Hand calligraphy in the Opulent style by Debi Zeinert ensures the invitation stands out. The flowing calligraphy was done specifically for this stationery suite, with each card including at least a couple of lines. The use of calligraphy throughout the suite ties all the pieces together from a design standpoint while adding a touch of extravagance to each card.
The invitation features engraving, a classic printing method that creates a raised impression. That raised impression really stands out on our luxuriously thick 3-ply paper. This printing method also emphasizes the swirls and flourishes of the hand calligraphy.
Clover edge painting gives the invite an extra and unexpected pop of color. The mother-of-pearl silk ribbon tied in a generous bow adds a romantic, almost gift-like presentation. It’s tactile and traditional, signaling formality and intention.
The delicate floral and bird illustrations on the welcome party card introduce a subtle charm that sets the tone for this springtime wedding.

The hydrangea-shaped reception card is a standout detail. That die-cut silhouette brings personality without sacrificing elegance. This card features our Sky 2-ply paper, letterpress-printed in royal blue on both sides. The tone-on-tone printing is gorgeous and on trend.
This engraved wedding invitation suite is warmly inviting. All the details are stunning on their own, but together they create something truly special. Locate one of our dealers to create your own custom wedding invitations.
Delicate botanical illustrations paired with a springtime-inspired color palette and an elegant, stately design made us fall in love with these invitations.

The typography is elegant and formal. Even the beveled edges give the invitation a traditional feel, but edge-painting the 45-degree bevel in our goldenrod ink adds color and a fun sense of whimsy. Edge painting also helps the bevel edges stand out.
The floral pattern on the belly band was created especially for this invitation and is composed of the blue flower motif from the inspiration design suite and the yellow flower motif, which is part of our available artwork. We can create patterns using our existing motif library or based on your direction. Do you want a flower that isn’t part of our collection? Or do you want to change the color or remove leaves from one of our existing floral motifs? Let us know.
The floral accent on the rehearsal dinner invitation gives the card a bit more of a casual feel, but it’s still lovely. The details card has a slight modern feel, thanks to the vertical line digitally printed in goldenrod that separates the dates from the events. The floral artwork at the top and the edge painting tie the overall design to the other pieces.

These menus evoke an old-world tropical elegance with a hint of glamour, and we love them for that. We worked with our dear friend Heather of Posh Parties & Paper to create this custom-designed foil-stamped menu for Christina and Sam’s nuptials.
The menu text appears in gold matte foil for an elevated and luxurious look. Our 3-ply Bella smooth cotton paper holds a deep impression, while the pillowy-soft texture adds a tactile element.

A custom monogram featuring a palm tree and the couple’s initials adorns the top. This monogram also appears throughout other stationery pieces in the suite, creating a sense of consistency. The flowing script font is formal yet romantic, and the serif font keeps everything classic and balanced.
Digital printing appears on the reverse side. The muted toile illustration in the background adds depth, nostalgia, and a touch of Old Florida charm. The artwork is refined and relaxed, reinforcing the quiet luxury tone. Each menu bears a guest’s name in our antique gold digital ink. Customizing each piece with variable printing adds a personal, inviting touch.
The circular die-cut shape immediately sets it apart. The menu is soft, refined, and unexpected. The circle shape also nests beautifully in a place setting, creating a welcoming atmosphere for guests.
This foil-stamped menu feels intimate and intentional. It is polished, worldly, and timeless. It was a joy working on all of the stationery pieces for Christina and Sam’s big day, and it’s always a pleasure working with Posh Parties & Paper. Would foil stamping, toile artwork, or variable printing help set the tone for your wedding stationery? Work with one of our dealers to create the perfect stationery for your big day.
Caroline and Blake wanted something timeless, romantic, and refined for their invitation suite, and that is certainly what they received. This couple worked with our dear friends at Shindig Paperie to create these elegant letterpress invitations that feature an absolutely stunning watercolor-inspired gatefold.
The focal point of this wedding stationery suite is the chapel illustration. The artwork is digitally printed on our 40# vellum and features delicate, airy washes of green and blue. The details of the chapel are painstakingly replicated, from the coloration of the stacked stone to the window frames. The brushwork gives it an almost ethereal or storybook quality. The artwork captures the chapel’s graceful, serene nature. The placement of the chapel on the gatefold allows the invitation to peek through, offering guests a subtle glimpse as soon as they open the envelope.

The invitation’s typography reinforces that classic tone. A flowing script font creates a formal feel while maintaining a light and airy effect. The generous spacing and centered layout add to the overall sense of quiet sophistication.
The addition of our Cloud stock for the rehearsal dinner and welcome party card introduces just enough contrast to keep the suite feeling fresh.
This letterpress invitation suite sets the tone for a graceful, heartfelt celebration. It was a pleasure to work on Caroline and Blake’s invitations. Whether you want a charming gatefold, custom artwork, or tips to create something custom that fits your vision, our dealers can make it happen.

The front of the card is adorned with darling bear artwork, while a rabbit appears on both the registry and insert cards. The Serengeti Baby Bear motif and the Potter Rabbit motifs are found in the ‘Baby’ category of our motif selection. The delicate lines of the baby bear and bunny illustrations are minimal but expressive. They feel whimsical without being cartoonish. The use of espresso letterpress ink keeps the look warm and refined, giving it a classic, almost pen-and-ink storybook vibe.
The script font is light, airy, and softly curved, creating a look that is friendly yet elegant. The typography complements the illustrations instead of competing with them. The arched text adds a classic invitation touch that feels traditional and relaxed.
The bee artwork from the baby bear motif inspired the envelope liner pattern. White digital ink on our latte stock is subtle and supports the neutral color scheme.
These letterpress baby shower invitations are cozy and timeless. The design leans into a classic, nursery-inspired look while also introducing a modern feel.

Meghan and Maxwell worked with our dear friend Rachel of Bering’s to design their traditional foil-stamped wedding stationery, befitting a black-tie affair. These invitations are elegant and timeless, and feature some whimsical detailsm including a bevel edge in foil, to elevate the overall look.

The typography has a refined feel, thanks to the serif and script fonts. Gold matte foil lends the design warmth and a sense of luxury. The invitation has a 45-degree bevel edge, gilded in matte gold foil. The use of foil highlights the crisp lines and slope of the bevel.
The reply card and reception card have the same sense of understated luxury. The thick foil-stamped borders frame the text and create consistency between these cards. To add interest, the foil border on the reply card runs along the edge. On the reception card, the foil border is set within the edge of the card.
A soft floral pattern on the belly band and envelope liner balances the formality of the design. Muted colors and delicate roses surrounded by butterflies are romantic and whimsical. The pattern lends the design a dreamy element.

Our dealers are highly skilled and can assist you throughout the design process, helping you create the wedding stationery of your dreams.
Samantha and Benjamin wanted something elegant and classic with a touch of nature to celebrate their wedding, which was held in a vineyard. They were able to do just that with these letterpress invitations with botanical accents on handmade paper. This invitation beautifully merges our Leone and Novella designs. Please note that our Novella design is retired, which means we no longer maintain samples. You can still borrow elements from this design, or use it as is for your stationery.

Handmade paper has a wonderful texture, and the deckle edge always catches the eye. We love letterpress printing on this stock because it beautifully holds the impression, creating even more texture. The navy color palette is crisp and traditional, especially on white paper. The foliage accents create a loose border that frames the text. The botanical line illustrations came from the envelope liner pattern. The same botanical artwork appears in some capacity on all the cards. Using the same illustrations across all pieces creates a cohesive feel.

The layout is minimal, creating a contemporary feel. The fonts effortlessly shift among a thin sans serif, a bold serif, and a loose script. This design choice adds contrast and flow while maintaining structure. The use of a No. 10-size card is unexpected but lends the design an upscale, chic vibe. White matte foil stamping on our metallic Azalea paper softens some of the modern elements with a touch of romance.
The darling envelope liner features tiny hearts foil-stamped in pearl shine for a subtle glimmer.

This suite is inspired by a garden party with lots of refined elegance. The use of letterpress printing, which presses into the thick, luxurious stock, is juxtaposed with the sculpted, embossed floral pattern that serves as an accent. Embossing creates a raised impression, and sculpted embossing adds different heights within that raised area. This technique features a high level of detail, beautifully showcasing the intricacies of the flowers and foliage of the artwork.

We are so excited to share our brand-new wedding release with you! The 2026 release includes 30 new wedding designs and features lots of sculpted embossing, blind embossing, and debossing mixed with all of our print methods and papers. We added new engraving inks and lots of new die-cut shapes, additional piece enclosures, new envelope shapes, and mailers. Among these new and exciting offerings, the one that perhaps stands out the most is laser cutting.
There are so many eye-catching designs and lovely details. You can see everything new here, but keep reading to see some highlights from our latest wedding release.
Die Cut Shapes
Die-cut shapes add character and a memorable touch to a card or the entire suite. We have a wide selection of die-cut shapes, and we can easily create new ones. Our 2026 wedding release includes lots of fun die cuts from the Yasmin and Valerie invitations or the reception card from the Monroe suite.
There are also lots of fun tags, from the farfalle-inspired tag of Italo to the maple leaf tag from Scout.
Sculpted Embossing
Sculpted embossing is a technique that creates a raised, dimensional surface. Our Delevingne suite is full of lovely instances of sculpted embossing. Detailed floral artwork on the invitation is subtle yet stately. New for this release, we’re also offering sculpted embossing for envelope liners, and the same floral pattern from the invitation is enlarged and appears on the liner.
Laser Cutting
We recently added laser cutting to our available print methods, and it has been tremendously fun and inspiring. This technique is excellent for creating patterns and highly detailed artwork. The belly band of the Vayda design is a stunning example of what we can do with laser cutting. You can also see laser cutting in action on the Talavera save the date, the extravagantly tropical pocketfold for Hiriata, and the moody pocketfold for Tomlin.
There is so much to see in this release, and these highlights are just some of the new offerings. Check it out to see all of the dreamy details. We are so happy to share this with all of you, and we hope you love it as much as we do!
