Submitted to us by our good friends at Gus & Ruby Letterpress, we’ve really fallen over the deep end for these nautical wedding invitations. With a pairing of navy letterpress ink and gold shine foil stamping, the color combination is chic and perfectly accented by an adorable anchor motif. Love the look? Check out the couple’s nautical save the dates for more inspiration!

When we saw this autumn wedding at The Brooklyn Botanic Garden we were immediately smitten. The rich fall hues enhanced the already picture-perfect grounds, and the letterpress menus featuring our Mimosa design in espresso + mesa inks paired perfectly with the floral arrangements displayed at the wedding.

Congratulations, Caroline and Luke – we wish you all the best!

Rachel (of Rachel Zimmerman Design) created this rustic custom design for her son’s Bar Mitzvah invitations. With a bold monogram at the top of each card we know this day is all about – Corey. A careful (and brilliant) selection of two custom letterpress inks really made this design come to life.

You met the one, you have the ring, you set the date – now you need to make the big announcement! Save the dates are a great way to let your guests know when you plan on getting married. Save the dates are the first glimpse of what’s to come when it comes to your wedding, so make sure they deliver the style and vibe you’re going for. Save the dates can also be a little less formal than invitations, so this gives you a chance to get creative!

[If you can’t find a save the date that fits your style we can create a custom design for you — or we can accept custom submitted designs so that your save the dates are 100% you!]
[Impress your guests with custom hand calligraphy like our Amor save the dates.]

[If you’re getting married in specific city, why not make that the theme? Our Charmed Washington DC is perfect for any event in the nation’s capital.]
Save the dates are typically sent 6-12 months before the wedding. We have save the dates in all different styles, from vintage to rustic to modern. If you need help figuring out which design would work well for your wedding, please feel free to contact us! We offer a comprehensive personal shopper survey to help narrow down colors, designs, and choices, too, so don’t worry if you’re not sure where to start. And if you’re stuck trying to figure out how to word your save the date, be sure to check out our etiquette suggestions.
