Washington DC Save the Dates Letterpress Vintage Monuments

Washington DC Save the Dates

These Washington DC letterpress save the dates feature vintage images of DC monuments and landmarks, setting the stage for your retro DC wedding! Letterpressed images of the Capitol, Lincoln Memorial, Jefferson Memorial and Washington Monument are a classic skyline to get everyone in the Washington DC mood. The save the date can be done in traditional colors of gold and black, or any color that fits your style. Classic and more modern fonts both work well with the monument layout.

Vintage Monuments in Letterpress

Antique Library of Congress images of Washington DC sites were converted to a letterpress format, an appropriately antique print style to match the design. No matter what time of year you will be holding your wedding, these images of our nation’s capital are great scene-setters for your DC wedding. These letterpress save the dates were printed in 1 color on 110lb cotton paper, a thick but not too thick introduction to your wedding! For your own custom Washington DC save the date or other theme contact us in our Washington, DC studio, we’re here to make a statement with your invitations!

This design is also available as a digital print from our Zazzle store!

Great Gatsby Art Deco Wedding Invitations

Art Deco Wedding Invitations

For these Art Deco wedding invitations it was all about a glamorous and elegant black and gold affair! Letterpress and foil stamping were the prints of choice. Deep black paper printed in gold foil, with a gold paper and black foil on the back featuring the couple’s custom Great Gatsby monogram. A green edge painting, letterpress reply cards, gold with black foil reception cards, and a fantastic green shimmery envelope liner completed the set. An intricate original art deco border gives beautiful detail to this foil stamped invitation design. All the guests knew it really was time for dancing on the tables!

A Great Gatsby theme

The inspiration for the theme was a Great Gatsby extravaganza, with theme colors of gold, black, and emerald green. We carried this theme through to all of the wedding day items including cocktail napkins and programs. The champagne was flowing and a Gatsby-style part followed! Everything was created as a custom design, including the custom monogram and border.

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.
