The invitation features disco-ball artwork that corresponds to the circular die-cut reply card. Silver shine foil stamping mimics the mirrored surface, adding sparkle, dimension, and a celebratory feel to these pieces. The double-sided reply card features black letterpress printing on the reverse (not shown in the pictures).
The bride and groom’s names appear on the invitation in silver shine foil, while the remaining text appears in black letterpress. A thick border is letterpress-printed in a delicate pink hue, introducing romance and glamour and balancing the modern sophistication of the black letterpress and silver foil.
The rehearsal dinner invitation and welcome party card flip the look of the invitation. These cards are letterpress-printed with a pink flood. This technique creates the look of color paper while ensuring a perfect color match to the invitation and the envelope liner. These cards are then foil-stamped in silver-shine foil, complete with a thick border framing the text.

These engagement party invitations have a refined botanical design that is classic and elegant with a touch of vintage charm. Our velvet stock adds warmth and texture and holds a crisp impression for both the letterpress printing and foil stamping. This invitation is a customization of the welcome party card from our Kinsley design and came to us from our dear friend Lindsey at Mrs. Post Fine Stationery & Gifts.

Velvet paper is soft and dreamy and introduces a wonderful texture. The cascading foliage in the design is almost rustic and complements the velvet’s texture. The branches gently bend and curve, creating a delicate wreath-like frame that encircles navy letterpress-printed text. The sheen of our ice shine foil elevates the design, creating a luxurious, upscale vibe. The velvet front is duplexed, or adhered to our spruce paper in 1-ply, giving the card structure and a more substantial feel.
A reimagined version of the foliage artwork appears as a pattern on the envelope liner. Velvet stock in asparagus is again paired with foil stamping in ice shine for a cohesive feel. The look is formal but still relaxed.
Congratulations to Abbey and Hunter on their engagement, and as always, it’s a pleasure to work with Mrs. Post Fine Stationery & Gifts. Are you thinking about romantic, garden-inspired engagement party invitations? Or do you want your invitations to feature the glimmer of foil against the texture of velvet?

Amanda and Ryszard’s wedding invitation suite has a classic, refined, and timelessly elegant style with a modern luxury twist. This couple worked with our dear friend Kristyn from Oliver’s Twist to create these sophisticated and formal invitations.
A clean, minimal layout with generous white space draws the eye to the bride and groom’s names, set in a modern, sweeping script font. The use of foil stamping further emphasizes the couple’s names and adds some glimmer and contrast to the black letterpress printing. The same color foil, tawny shine, also appears on the beveled edge, highlighting the sharp 45-degree angle.

The wide belly band, featuring the couple’s initials in tawny shine foil, adds an upscale vibe. The way the monogram merges the letters is symbolic and romantic and completely fits the look and feel of these bevel and foil-edge wedding invitations.
The envelope liner is neutral and subtle. Our Richmond pattern, which is both formal and geometric, is foil-stamped in tawny shine on our metallic sand text-weight stock. The look is elegant and perfectly coordinates with the entire suite.

The reply card switches up the color palette from the invitation and features white digital printing on black stock. The design is modern and dramatic while maintaining the formal aesthetic. The event card follows suit by featuring black digital printing on our metallic sand stock. Multiple versions of the event card were printed to address the various events held during the wedding weekend.

We worked with our dear friends at Ellis Hill to create these bright, cheerful, and garden-inspired birthday party invitations. This invitation blends vintage floral artwork with modern typography for a classic yet still contemporary look. The card is modeled after our Gweneth save the date design, and it’s a great example of how our designs can be customized for various events.

Bold floral artwork introduces a celebratory tone and anchors the design. The guest of honor’s age is foil-stamped in copper matte over the digitally printed floral bouquet. The overlapping foil adds some glimmer and contrast against the lush, detailed flowers. Our Bella Smooth Cotton paper, in bright white, perfectly complements the bold, vibrant florals and the letterpress printing in our persimmon ink. The refined, flowing script font announces Sue’s Novetañera, or 90th. The supporting text appears in a serif font and is clean, structured, and easy to read, balancing the ornate florals.
The envelope liner is a statement piece on its own and showcases the lively, full-coverage floral pattern. The liner pattern uses the same floral artwork from the card over a digital flood of our persimmon ink, and is borrowed from the Gweneth invitation.
This birthday party invitation is joyful, celebratory, and absolutely perfect for such a milestone event. We hope Sue had the happiest of birthdays, and thank you to our dear friends at Ellis Hill for entrusting us with this job. Are you in need of invitations for an upcoming event?

When our dear friend Erin from Smitten Boutique sent us this invitation design, we knew it would be stunning. This invitation is modern and sophisticated with a luxe edge and is paired with a one-of-a-kind envelope liner. These invitations are a custom design, loosely based on our now-retired Augusta. We no longer maintain samples when a design is retired, but we can still borrow elements or replicate the entire look for your custom invitations. See more and get the details on Anita and Brian’s luxe wedding invitations.
Our maize 1-ply is bold yet warm, ensuring the belly band stands out. The event date appears in blind emboss for a subtle, yet impactful look. The use of the cartouch around the date and the placement in the center of the belly band are very traditional choices; however, the vertical formatting of the date, which is edgy and modern, provides contrast.

The mix of fonts keeps the look contemporary while still being black-tie appropriate. Placing the couple’s initials and event date in the top-left corner is unexpected and a nice personal touch. Including this detail in gold matte foil is glamorous.
The initials and date are repeated on the rehearsal dinner invitation. This card features gold matte foil stamping on our ultra black stock, which drastically ups the glamour factor.

Possibly, the standout piece of this wedding invitation suite is the envelope liner. The client supplied the artwork, which consists of many iconic album covers.

Anita and Brian’s wedding invitations are chic and formal with a touch of modern glamour. The design is also fun and personal to the couple.

Megan and Manuel worked with our dear friend Hollis of Bering’s to create their stunning letterpress and foil-stamped wedding invitations.

The intricate frame on the invitation appears in our sea mist letterpress ink. The light color allows the text, which appears in gold matte foil stamping, to stand out. The three fonts work together perfectly to introduce a fanciful, playful vibe while still maintaining a formal feel. The floral and foliage artwork beautifully coordinates with the garden elements of the artwork featured as the envelope liner.
The envelope liner features La Primavera, an artwork by Italian Renaissance artist Sandro Botticelli. The painting, believed to have been completed between 1477 and 1482, is located in a gallery in Florence and depicts a group of mythological figures in a lush garden setting. The painting is often interpreted as being a celebration of love.
The frame from the invitation was reimagined for the reply card. Breaking apart the artwork and using components of it in two corners maintains the consistency and formality without being identical. The reply card features the same fonts used in tandem to create an eccentric feel, perfectly suited for this whimsical affair.
Megan and Manuel’s letterpress and foil wedding invitations are lovely and personal, and it was a pleasure to help bring this couple’s vision to life. Whether you want to create an aesthetic with typography, use artwork for the envelope liner, or add personal details to celebrate you and your partner, we can help make it happen.

Everything about these stylish anniversary party invitations is timeless and elegant, from the die-cut shape to the combination of letterpress printing and foil stamping, and the foil-stamped envelope liner. We had the pleasure of working with our friend Lisa from Mark Harris Stationers to create these lovely die cut anniversary party invitations celebrating Robert and Marilyn.
Our Bella cotton paper is plush yet firm and holds a deep impression. Gold matte foil stamping creates a border that mimics the shape of our Franklin die-cut, accentuating the die-cut shape. Robert and Marilyn’s names appear in a script font that is formal yet still has a contemporary edge. The font’s flourishes add drama and contrast against the straight lines of the foil-stamped border.

Everything about Christiane and Shepherd’s wedding invitation suite is charming and dreamy. This couple said ‘I do’ at Château de la Croix, located in the French Riviera, and their wedding stationery struck the perfect balance between a rustic French countryside feel and a black-tie affair.

Our viola pattern appears on the liner and the belly band. This rustic floral pattern has a refined yet moody vibe. We offer a wide array of patterns that make excellent envelope liners, and all of them can also be repurposed for use on belly bands, the back of cards, gatefolds, or anywhere else. The edges of the invitation are lined in copper matte foil, introducing a sense of glamour.

The invitation features a delicate border with thin, alternating lines in gold matte foil and black letterpress, along with a ladder-like pattern in foil. Letterpress sunbursts accent the corners. The frame is geometric and highly detailed, and does an excellent job of drawing the eye to the text. The text also alternates between letterpress and foil stamping, with the names appearing prominently in a larger script font and foil-stamped in gold matte.
The gatefold is a showstopper. This enclosure features an Art Deco shell pattern on the exterior. The bride and groom’s first initials appear on the front, but on opposite sides of the opening, lining up perfectly when the gatefold is closed. Opaline shine foil gives the gatefold an ethereal quality.
We are delighted to have had the opportunity to bring Julia and Alexander’s vision to life, and we wish them all the best. Do you have your heart set on an Art Deco wedding invitation or a luxurious gatefold?

Natalie and Benjamin chose our Mirabella design for the nuptials, which was a perfect choice for their big day. The couple worked with our NYC store to create their letterpress and foil wedding invitations, and the results are stunning.
The grandiose invitation design perfectly set the tone for Natalie and Benjamin’s wedding, which was held at the St. Regis New York. This iconic venue is an excellent example of Beaux Arts architecture, and the extravagant foil-stamped frame of the invitation beautifully coordinates with the venue. The venue even made an appearance on the custom envelope liner. An illustration of the St. Regis New York appears in antique gold digital printing on the liner.
