Kyra and Ethan customized our Giles design, making it entirely their own. The original design has a formal black-tie flair. The customization retains the elegance of the original, but it has a more modern feel. The couple opted to use the same font for all the text, a contemporary sans-serif font. The custom monogram was explicitly designed for this pair. The monogram features a serif font enclosed in an oval border. The minimalist design proves that less is more. The monogram is blind debossed on the invitation and appears letterpress printed on the rehearsal dinner invitation and pocket panel. The custom monogram was also used to create a pattern that appears on the envelope liner.

This invitation suite from our dear friends at RSVP in Omaha, Nebraska, features clean lines for a modern, sophisticated look. However, the whimsical liner adds an unexpected yet perfectly coordinated touch of personality. See all the pieces up close and discover what makes this blind embossed wedding invitation so special.
This client’s job is a customization of our Sherah design. At first glance, the final printed piece strongly resembles its inspiration, including the same die-cut shape combined with a beveled and painted edge. This custom wedding invitation swaps out foil stamping for letterpress printing in our vine ink, giving the card a more vibrant and springlike appearance. The bride and groom’s names are still blind embossed. The crisp, raised text provides a stately and sophisticated feel.
The Quinn liner, a fun floral pattern, replaces the art deco-inspired Sherah pattern featured in the original. The liner adds some whimsy while still maintaining the elegance of the invitation. The foil and digital Quinn pattern is repeated on the belly band and pocket panel, along with a few accent flowers on the reply card.

We had the pleasure of printing this stunning suite from our friends at Soirée Signatures in Mobile, Alabama. A 3-ply, double-sided, beveled invitation was slipped into a custom embossed pocket panel with a cut-out to highlight the couple’s duogram digitally printed on the reverse side of the invitation. The attention to detail is remarkable and truly showcases the talent behind these custom-designed pieces.
Even the menus received the luxury treatment, die-cut into custom shapes. Everything about this invitation suite is custom. The event was a special day full of so many beautiful moments and items, and we are honored to have played a part in creating some of the beauty.
We love seeing our clients’ ideas come to life! All of our designs can be customized to fit your vision, even creating your own design. Contact us to learn more and create a one-of-a-kind wedding invitation.
We worked with our friends at Seaside Papery to bring Logan and Stjepan’s stunning invitations to life. They drew inspiration from our Euphrasia and Giles samples. The black envelope opens to reveal the euphrasia liner pattern in champagne matte, and a sleek black pocket panel printed in black shine. The invitation card features champagne matte foil, and clear shine embossing. The enclosure cards are black with champagne foil, or white with black letterpress and border. The mix of tones creates a modern cascading effect when assembled in the pocket.
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.

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.

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.
