Classic Monogram Letterpress Wedding Invitations | Washington DC | St. Regis
A Timeless Black Tie Invitation for a Washington, DC Wedding
We loved creating this classic monogram invitation suite for Allie and Mark as they planned their Washington, DC wedding at the St. Regis. One of our favorite suites of all time, from the refined monogram and elegant typography, to the vintage DC map, to the subtle use of gold foil and the soft gold organdy ribbon belly band that brings the suite together. The result was a wedding invitation suite that feels at home in a classic black-tie setting, while still carrying warmth, personality, and a sense of occasion that reflects the couple and their celebration.
Letterpress and Gold Foil Craftsmanship
The invitation, reply card, and rehearsal dinner card are printed using traditional letterpress, creating a textured impression you can see and feel. Gold foil is used sparingly and intentionally, adding warmth and a subtle glow without overwhelming the typography.
Each element is designed to work together, from the classic serif and script typography to the balanced layout and generous white space. This is a suite meant to feel timeless now and decades from now.
Vintage Washington, DC Map Reply Card
The reply card features a vintage Washington, DC map design, adding a meaningful local touch and a sense of place. This element works especially well for couples who love incorporating subtle geographic or historical references into their wedding details.
The contrast between the classic map artwork and the refined typography keeps the design grounded and timeless.
Monogram and Belly Band Details
A custom monogram anchors the design and appears in gold foil at the top of the invitation. The suite is finished with a gold organdy ribbon belly band that is affixed to the invitation and wraps around the back, holding the additional cards neatly in place.
This detail adds a soft, romantic layer while also serving a practical purpose. It creates a beautiful moment when the suite is opened and reinforces the sense of ceremony.
Designed as a Complete Wedding Stationery Experience
While these photos highlight the invitation suite, we began with a save the date and continued through the full wedding paper journey. From invitations and reply cards to day-of pieces such as programs, menus, escort cards, and signage, we design everything to feel cohesive from start to finish.
