The invitation features the layout of our Ines design. Gold matte foil on our holly paper is elegant, while the 2-ply stock features a deep impression. Foil edging in gold matte adds even more decadence. The envelope also features our holly stock with gold matte foil stamping on the flap. The artwork is our Everly vine motif. All of our motifs can be reimagined as accents on any piece in a suite, from cards to envelopes.
The Everly vine motif is also found on the reply card, creating consistency between the pieces. Our Leone reply card is the design inspiration behind Megan and Conner’s reply card. For this card, the holly color is introduced via letterpress printing.

The details card combines gold matte foil with our holly paper and a vellum overlay, held in place with a gold grommet. The inspiration behind this piece is the details card from our Ichabod design. The concept was reworked to fit within this suite, and the design is seamless.
Events Card
deboss: blind
foil stamping: gold matte
fonts: la luxes + adobe jenson
paper: bella cotton white 2-ply
card size: a-5

The events card borrows the honeycomb artwork from our now-retired Sweet Christine design. The text appears in gold matte foil, while the patterned artwork is blind debossed, or printed without ink. Our 2-ply paper holds a crisp impression, even when the foil-stamped text overlaps. The honeycomb pattern also appears on the envelope liner, although this iteration is in foil. Pearl shine foil adds a subtle shimmer.
The entire suite is held together with metallic gold thread wrapped around the stacked pieces in a criss-cross pattern before being slipped inside the envelope.
This charming wedding invitation suite includes nature motifs and geometric patterns, as well as different print methods and various paper stocks, and everything beautifully works together in a perfectly orchestrated way. We wish the best to Megan and Conner, and we are so appreciative to Smitten Boutique for bringing us such a lovely design.

Nicole and Sean worked with our friends at Papermade Studio to create their beautifully vibrant wedding invitations. Our Loley florals feature throughout the suite. Bright persimmon and fuchsia letterpress inks set the perfect tone for a joyous summer wedding. The suite also features a digital photo overlay, tied with our metallic copper thread.
Lauren and David worked with Debbie at RSVP Today to create these beautiful blue invitations. The suite features a bevel with a Carolina painted edge, RSVP tag, and the watercolor style liner from our Paseo suite. Everything came together to create a perfectly fresh invite suite for a summer wedding.

We offer many options for organizing your enclosure cards, to create a personalized invitation suite. It can be difficult to visualize the different options, so we’ve pulled them together here to make that easier!
Back Pockets
Back pockets are adhered to the reverse of the invitation card, holding all the enclosure cards. We have both horizontal and vertical back pockets for our invitation sizes in our library. We can also create a custom pocket, for a fully custom look.
Our Richmond suite features a horizontal back pocket
Belly Bands
We offer belly bands in any of our text weight papers. These can be printed with a pattern or text or plain. They come to you scored with adhesive to help you assemble your invitation suite once they are ready for mailing. Typically belly bands are 1.75”, though we can also create a taller belly band if you’d prefer.

Folders
Folders are two panel folded pieces, with the invitation mounted to the interior, and a pocket on the opposite side. They can be be printed or unprinted, and made out of nearly any of our papers.
Our Neve suite features a folder with tawny shine foil stamping.
Gatefold Wraps
Gatefolds are a great way to add a pop of color to your invitation suite, while also adding a touch of drama. We can create a gatefold using any of our colored papers, including our metallic papers and vellum.

Metallic Thread
Another option is adding metallic thread to subtly tie your pieces together. It can either be simply wrapped around the invitation card, or used to tie on a tag.
Vero features a vellum overlay, with metallic thread, while Aviva features a die cut tag and metallic thread
Mounted Belly Bands
Mounted belly bands are adhered to the back of the invitation card, with a separate unprinted card. They keep all of your enclosure cards contained, while keeping the front of the invitation clean. They can be printed or unprinted.
Our Hadaway design features a mounted belly band printed with cheerful florals
Pocketfolds
Pocketfolds are mini folders that include a pocket for your enclosure cards. Typically your invitation would be mounted on the pocketfold. We offer both horizontal and vertical pocketfolds for (all of the) our invitation sizes in our library. We can also create a custom pocketfold, for a fully personalized look!
Our Sibgha and Parrish designs feature printed pocketfolds
Pocket Cards
Pocket cards are separate from your invitation card, and hold your additional enclosures like details cards, itineraries, reply cards, and more.
Pocket panels can hold your invitation and additional pieces all together, or we can adhere the invitation onto the front of the panel before shipping it to you. The Tannis suite features a printed pocketpanel, with the invitation mounted on the front.
Our pocket panels are available with either round or square pockets
Ribbons
Another way to add romance and drama is by adding a silk ribbon your suite, either tied in a traditional bow or knot, or mounted to the back of the invite card to create a mounted belly band.
