We were delighted to work with Sydney and Leland on their letterpress wedding invitation and day-of pieces, having had the pleasure of helping this couple create their stunning save the date. The minimalist design had an understated elegance that perfectly set the tone for their stunning nuptials held at a quintessential NYC venue.
The invitation is printed on our 2-ply cotton paper, which has a soft texture and holds a deep letterpress impression. The spruce letterpress ink perfectly coordinates with the spruce edge painting on the invitation and the envelope.

The detailed artwork from the save the date made another appearance on the back of the circular die-cut escort card. This was a charming detail guests could enjoy while at the iconic venue. With the exception of the domed fresco-inspired artwork, the entire suite is typography-focused. Featuring the geometric artwork on the escort cards only highlights this feature, making it more special and eye-catching.

Best wishes to Sydney and Leland! It was a joy to work with this couple and to help create their stunning letterpress wedding invitations. Are you inspired by the architecture of your venue or interested in a tone-on-tone look for your letterpress wedding invitation, save the date, or day-of pieces? Contact us with questions or work with one of our dealers to see samples in person and receive expert tips and guidance.
This bold letterpress save the date features an extravagant typography-inspired look. The couple, Elaine and Matthew, were inspired by the Gilded Era grandeur of the Metropolitian Club and worked with our NYC store to create their luxurious save the date and details cards.
The couple chose our now-retired Corwin save the date design. We periodically retire designs, which means we no longer maintain samples. Although you can still select and customize any of our retired designs.
The original design, seen above on the left, features foil stamping on our Bordeaux 2-ply paper. The couple opted to use a letterpress ink color reminiscent of the paper of the original, paired with our Bella smooth cotton white 2-ply stock, as seen above on the right. The contrast between the deep, rich color of the ink and the white paper adds to the design’s intensity, while the thick stock is luxurious and holds a deep letterpress impression, perfectly showcasing the exquisite flourishes of the sweeping script font. The text slightly tips upward across each line, creating a dramatic effect.

The coordinating details card uses the same script font for the heading, but utilizes a serif font for the remaining text. The liner features a vintage map of the Upper East Side of Manhattan, the location of the wedding, which is such a charming detail.
A save the date is the first thing your guests see when it comes to your big day, so choose something that sets the right tone. In this case, the couple chose a simple yet extravagant design. Contact us to design your letterpress save the date!
