Not So Traditional Beach Theme Wedding Invitations

Beach Theme Invitation

What do you do when it’s time for invitations for your beach wedding, but you don’t want it to be too “beachy”? We decided to focus on the flow of the water and waves and an elegant letterpress presentation to give the right feel for Lisa & Bryant’s wedding on Cape Cod. It also had to match the “Tie Optional” vibe, so it definitely called for some bubbles and waves to give it some fun! The groom’s parents live here in Washington, DC so we enjoyed working with them in person to come up with a set of pieces that would get everyone excited about the big event.

Time for a Pocketfold

This wedding had many details to include, from the information on accommodations that needed to be booked well in advance, to a rehearsal dinner clambake, to a day-after brunch. The perfect time for a pocketfold to hold everything together! This pocketfold was done in pearlescent silvery paper, closed with a belly band with the couple’s new monogram letterpressed in silver. All wrapped up in an organized package to help everyone plan.

This design is also available as a digital print through our Zazzle store.

Stop Motion From Our Studio

We’ve been playing around with stop motion photography in our studio and came up with a few videos. Here’s one just for this invitation set. Watch for the jumping fish.

Modern Calligraphy Invitations

Modern Calligraphy Style

As time passes by and trends change with every season, one thing remains true… the beauty and charm that calligraphy can add to your invitation set. The stroke of a quill spelling out the day you marry your best friend can represent so much. Isn’t calligraphy too traditional or stuffy for my new age wedding, you may ask. Not with our Modern Calligraphy Style! We have captured the essence of calligraphy but with a whimsical, modern typeface. This style can fit a broad range of wedding themes from a super modern chic wedding to a formal black tie affair.

Shiny Gold Foil

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.. but who doesn’t find shiny gold foil printing beautiful!? The gold gilding on this particular set has added so much personality. The navy blue text alongside the sparkle of a foil stamped name is beyond chic. Let us show you what the world of foil and letterpress has to offer!

Thick Letterpress Paper

Do you ever wonder what your guests will do with the invitation AFTER the event? Well no one will want to part with this gorgeous artifact once they fall in love at first feel. The texture and weight of this paper is shockingly beautiful. You will appreciate the cotton texture and deep imprint that any design will have on this 220lb stock.
