Watercolor Letterpress Wedding Invitations

Watercolor and Letterpress Invitations

A beautiful watercolor flowers design and a letterpress print came together in this perfect spring wedding invitation. This custom wedding invitation was created for a bride who wanted a rich forest and flowers feel, with lots of greens, purples, and pinks. Wildflowers rising out of the earth symbolize new life and a new beginning for the couple on their wedding day.

Luxurious Papers and Colors

The original watercolor design was reproduced digitally on Crane Lettra paper, with a deep green letterpress print for the text. A forest green cardstock was applied to the back of the invitation, and also used for the inner envelope liner. The forest colors were rounded out with fresh spring green edge painting.

Custom Watercolor Design

If you love the look of both watercolors and letterpress, this type of combination would be perfect for your own custom wedding invitations. Watercolor flowers are a beautiful and happy decoration for your wedding invitation, whether you’re getting married in a spring garden or are just in a spring mood!

Invitations in Stop Motion, Another Way to View Our Design Work

We recently decided we were going to see if we could showcase our work another way and thought we’d give it a shot with stop motion and animation. We have 6 videos as of December 2013 and will add another half dozen or so to our 2014 Custom Wedding Invitation channel on Vimeo. If you like what you see, just leave a note in the comments. We hope you enjoy our sense of humor and style.

Modern Black and Blue Bar Mitzvah Invitations

Blue Foil Stamp on Black Invitations

There’s nothing more impactful than bright blue foil stamping on a black background. The combination just jumps out and makes a dramatic impression that looks clean, crisp and elegant. This black pocketfold Bar Mitzvah invitation made a statement without needing photos, graphics or even showy designs to liven it up. With just a simple silver border to tie it all together, this invitation used rich texture and great letterpress to make a lasting impression.

Masculine Invitations for the Growing Man!

What better way to represent a young man’s transition into manhood than with a simple masculine Bar Mitzvah invitation? Dylan’s family decided on a clean black pocketfold invitation, complete with a simple gray RSVP card, to send out to guests. No childish bells and whistles. Just a great looking, mature message.

Personalizing Your Event

You can also get a rich textured invitation like this. If you have a simple design in mind, we can transform that into a strong and memorable event invitation. We just need to know your ideal colors, typography design, and paper choice. Want shiny foil stamping? Choose from dozens of colors, from silver and gold to blue and black. Imagine how you want that foil stamping to be laid out and what fonts will look best. Foil stamping looks amazing against a solid matte finish paper, but maybe you want the invitation to really shine – so a metallic finish might be what you have in mind. There are so many design touches that can really help personalize your invitation to capture your tastes and quirks. Give us a call today and let us help you get started on your invitation!

Seattle Bat Mitzvah Invitations

City Skyline Graphics on Cotton Paper

Do you love your city? Or hometown? Do you stay connected to your Jewish community and get involved in your temple’s events? A Jewish community is a wonderful thing and for any little girl being called to the Torah as a Bat Mitzvah, it is this group of extended family and friends that will share in the joy and excitement of such a momentous time. For this party, the family decided to go with a Seattle themed invitation to capture their home and community. A classy photo of Seattle’s skyline gave the whole event a big city feel.

Make the Bat Mitzvah the Event of the Year!

Just like an event being held in a city’s entertainment district that draws in tourists and stars, this Bat Mitzvah invitation was designed to give the impression of an A-Lister party that shouldn’t be missed! The invitation package included an RSVP card for guests to choose the events they would be attending. The whole weekend celebration was jam-packed with a Shabbat Dinner, Kiddush Luncheon, the Bat Mitzvah Celebration and a Farewell Brunch.
