Our now-retired Ninette design is the perfect inspiration for Alex and Gage’s save the dates. This couple worked with our dear friend Jessica of Prickly Pear Press to create these gorgeous cards, the perfect mix of a floral and coastal aesthetic.
The florals immediately set the tone. Soft pinks, dusty blues, creamy whites, and gentle greens are arranged in a loose composition. The artwork has a vintage botanical illustration quality, but the spacing and layout of the florals, anchored asymmetrically to one side, keep it fresh and modern.

The typography elevates everything. The names are set in a refined yet extravagant serif font. Gold matte foil stamping adds a sense of understated luxury and draws the eye to the flourishes. The smaller text appears in a more subdued serif font and is letterpress-printed in our Wedgewood ink, which gives it a breezy, seaside feel, perfect for a wedding on Martha’s Vineyard.
The card is a no. 10 size, which measures 9.19” x 3.81”. This size is unexpected and modern. The landscape orientation builds on that modern feel. The envelope liner is a single-color digital flood of Wedgewood, ensuring a perfect color match with the letterpress printing.
These save the dates are polished and relaxed while still maintaining a formal feel. Work with one of our dealers to find and customize the perfect save the date for your wedding!

Traditional Japanese Chiyogami paper, or washi paper, serves as the envelope liner and the backer for the details and events cards, adding vibrant colors and patterns while tying all the pieces together.

For the invitation, cobalt blue letterpress is paired with our Bella smooth cotton 2-ply in white, creating a timeless, high-contrast look that feels both formal and fresh. The layout is minimal and airy with strong negative space, allowing the typography and color blocks to stand out. Everything about this design feels balanced and intentional.
The square invitation is modern and edgy, while the cobalt blue edge painting further highlights the invitation’s shape. Metallic thread is tied around the finished letterpress wedding invitation.

The circular die-cut shape of the reply card plays off the square invitation.

The inspiration behind this baby shower invitation is our Rosalie wedding design. While the baby shower invite has a lot of similarities to the inspiration design, swapping the colors and artwork made it perfect for a baby shower. Navy letterpress printing on our sky paper is perfect for a mom-to-be welcoming a baby boy. The whimsical die-cut shape is both fun and playful, and the printing along the edge emphasizes its unique shape.
This invitation features a custom converted envelope, meaning it was custom-made in our shop to coordinate with the card perfectly. The envelope features text-weight stock in sky and digital printing in navy, as well as powder blue, so the colors match the paper and ink of the card. The scallop edge of the flap mimics the die-cut edge of the card for a cohesive appearance. The inspiration design envelope liner was reimagined using our wide selection of motifs to create a pattern that fits the theme and design.
