This gorgeous bookmark is a wonderful example of a unique Save the Date. This book loving couple paired romantic roses with their literary theme in a custom bookmark card. We love the subtle detail of the flowers, contrasting with a dark gray ink. A dusty rose envelope adds another layer of color to the design that we love. Creating and printing interesting designs like this makes our days in the shop very fun.

Congratulations to Jo-Ann and Michael on their wedding in Brooklyn this weekend! The Boathouse at Prospect Park is a gorgeous venue for a fall wedding. We designed their invitations based on our Hudson design, with a custom illustration of the boathouse as a beautiful accent. Their invitation cards were printed in sage green, with gold bee website cards - a pretty and cool fall color combination.

Although this design was from a year ago, we still love the combination of soft ginger and rich black ink. The Hudson design was set off with NYC icons, like the Brooklyn Bridge and subway car, customizing it to it’s urban venue. The set began with Save the Dates, printed with a vintage map of the city, and was completed with custom thank you notes with the couple’s names.

Congratulations to Laura and Kyle on their wedding in the Hamptons this weekend! We just love their custom monogram, marrying a floral wreath with a lighthouse. It ties all of the elements of the Hamptons together in a special way. Their set was based on our Blossoms design, with the sweet dotted border and romantic font combination. Our favorite part is the Weekend Timeline card, especially the book and cocktail illustrations for the welcome party at a library - what a unique venue!

The summer has flown past us, and as we were looking through all of our wedding sets, we came across this beauty! This couple chose our Elegant Monogram design and added some illustrative elements to the other pieces in the set. The black tie optional invite looks perfectly formal in navy ink, and the sailboat, Brooklyn Bridge and champagne glasses provide great contrast printed in slate blue ink. Doesn’t a sunset cruise in NYC sound such a special wedding event?

The theme of this summer’s weddings seems to have been Maritime, and we never tire of printing this beautiful wave illustration. This set was for a couple getting married in Sag Harbor, so the ocean and whale elements align with their theme perfectly. The whole design was printed in slate blue ink on warm white paper in a modern font. We especially like the addition of the hydrangea on the RSVP card, as it softens the entire look.

We have been fielding questions about wording for RSVP cards lately, and one that often comes up is how to address food allergies. This response card is a good example of a simple way to allow your guests to notify you of any food allergies, so you can provide an alternate meal choice, if possible. It’s also a great example of how to ask your guests to reply to the events they will be attending, and to choose a meal option for the wedding reception.

We came across this beautiful set of invitations that we created for a New York City wedding last summer. The entire set is printed in navy blue ink, giving it a formal but lighter feeling. The icons on the invitation and rsvp card are NYC landmarks, and the envelope liner is a vintage map of New York, as well. Each cards has a simple border to tie them together and frame the text. We love the last image that shows details of the imagery up close, where you can really get a sense of the letterpress impression in the warm white paper.
