From the front, Sam’s custom designed Bar Mitzvah invitations are the epitome of old-school sophistication, featuring Copper Shine foil, Prussian Blue letterpress ink and a formal font. Turn them over for a playful and fun moniker letterpress printed in subtle French Vanilla ink. Our Vintage Stripes envelope liner ties it all together, making for a masculine, elegant yet age appropriate invitation.

If you’ve never seen hand calligraphy on a Bar Mitzvah invitation before, you aren’t alone. But why should weddings have all the hand lettered fun? Here our Belle calligraphy adds a touch of graceful whimsy to the clean, modern layout of our Irving invitation design. Our Brooklyn motif makes an appearance on the envelope liner and the thank you card, paying homage to the city William calls home.

Our Birch invitation design is always a favorite around here – and this customization for Benjamin’s Bar Mitzvah is no exception. Barely there birch trees printed in blind deboss (an impression without ink), a whimsical Natural Woodgrain envelope liner and a formal yet modern font add just the right amount of grown-up sophistication.

We loved seeing how our Simple Charms invitation design set the tone for Allison and Nowell’s stylish backyard bohemian California wedding. They customized the design by including a fun and colorful patterned envelope liner in our refined mosaic pattern in sherbet, sand and pewter inks. Vibrant patterns were used throughout the wedding decor, too, and personal touches were sprinkled in throughout the day. From mini margaritas to one of the prettiest table runners (sewn by the mother of the bride!) we love all of the thoughtful details that were woven into this wedding. See even more photos from this real wedding on Style Me Pretty!
Congratulations Allison and Nowell! We hope you enjoyed every moment of your wedding.
