While there’s no rule saying you have to stick with the same design for both your save the dates and invites, we definitely love seeing a design carried through for all of the wedding stationery of a couple. Take this set for instance. This couple chose to take our classic Ashwell design, and to jazz it up with a custom wreath design that they used for both the save the dates as well as the invitations. Thanks to Union Street Papery for these orders!

We worked with our friends over at Gus and Ruby for the nautical invitations for Kristen and Michael’s Maine wedding, and we love seeing the way the set coordinated with the rest of the wedding day details! The couple chose our Harbor Beach invitation design for their June wedding, and added custom envelope liners featuring a map of York Harbor (where the wedding was held) as a finishing touch. Their reception took place at the Dockside Guest Quarters and was filled lots of chic nautical touches, including a rope-wrapped bouquet, oars for a guest book, and “captain” buoys as chair decor.

Catherine Gretta Affairs of Distinction in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania sent us these downright adorable and unique bridal shower invitations. The mother of the bride chose fuchsia shine foil paired with fuchsia ink for these – and the end result makes for a invitation with a contemporary and flirty vibe. Toss in foil edging in fuchsia shine and a pretty ombre envelope liner in fuchsia – these have us all smiling. Of course the abundance of pink helps maintain a feminine feel, but we don’t think these could possibly look any sweeter!

This customization of our Royal Night (by Lindsy Aragona) letterpress wedding invitations, sent to us by our friends at Magnificent Milestones, is a thing of beauty!

We love the Mitty Calligraphy letterpress wedding invitation design by Nicole Black. What’s even more impressive is that this invitation suite is in Norwegian!

We also custom designed a map to go along with the style and the sea stripe envelope liner is another great choice. *Additional fees may apply.

Our Palmas design (by Beth Ann Seal) looks trendy and chic letterpress printed in pewter and fuchsia inks. The fuchsia ink adds a truly fun pop of color where the pewter gray ink tones down the pink hue just perfectly. And we love that the refreshing art deco design at the bottom adds bold character. Edge painting in fuchsia adds another colorful appeal to these letterpress save the dates.

We are loving the neon color wedding trend so when we saw our Modern Fete design (by Amy Graham Stigler) letterpressed in aubergine and our day-glo ink we fell in love!
