We spend the early months of the year designing and printing invitations for spring and summer weddings. It's a welcome escape from winter to imagine and design for an upcoming celebration in a garden or by the sea. While we don’t share images for weddings that haven’t taken place yet, we love looking back at some of our favorite invitation suites from the past summer—like this elegant coastal wedding at Shining Tides on Cape Cod.

It was a pleasure to collaborate with Maggie and Robert to create their custom letterpress wedding invitations for a summer celebration in Mattapoisett, Massachusetts. They were looking for stationery that felt classic and elegant, but also fun, bright, and full of personality.

Weddings are often an opportunity to introduce friends to a location that is meaningful to a couple. We worked closely with Maggie and Robert to capture the vintage, preppy feel of a Cape Cod summer vacation while maintaining a sense of understated elegance. Starting with our semi-custom pictorial invitation design, we refined the details together and letterpress printed the entire suite in pink. The invitation cards were finished with hand-painted pink edges, for a subtle, polished detail.

A pink belly band with initials added another layer of color while keeping the pieces neatly together inside soft pink envelopes.

We truly loved creating this invitation suite and the wedding day paper goods. Maggie and Robert—and their families—put so much thought into their guests’ experience, and we wanted the stationery to reflect this, balancing thoughtful, personalized design with a sense of fun.

We’ve had the pleasure of working with so many lovely couples this year to design and letterpress print their wedding invitations. The wedding we’re sharing today, though, is my personal favorite! It was a bit of a dream come true to collaborate with my sweet niece and her fiancé to create their custom wedding stationery. I’ve printed birthday party invitations, graduation announcements and business cards for her over the years but this was my favorite of our collaborations!

They’re thoughtful, sincere, and joyful — and their design choices reflected those qualities. For a modern take on a classic New England wedding, they paired a traditional script with crisp copperplate text printed in a vibrant red ink. The invitation card was clean and elegant, with the focus on the bright colored text. They incorporated imagery throughout the rest of the suite and drew their own illustrations for the “toile-inspired” envelope liner. We used a pale pink card stock for the response cards and envelopes, and created a pennant tag tied around the assembled sets with blush cotton ribbon from our friends at Studio Carta. Each envelope was sealed with a bright red wax seal embossed with their initials.

For the wedding day, we designed stationery to complement the invitations. The programs, menus, table cards, and place cards were printed digitally, while we letterpress printed additional tags to tie around the pink dessert favor boxes. The reception was in a tent on a yacht club lawn and the decor was minimal with bright, cheerful flowers, candles and really happy friends and family!

This beautiful wedding suite in navy is a custom version of our Elegant Monogram design. It includes a timeline card and a custom floral envelope liner.

This beautiful wedding set emphasizes Boston using a custom map liner with an elegant Navy colored envelope. The combination of the script and serif typefaces with the border add a touch of formality, and the images add a pop of playfulness.

We loved designing and printing this invitation suite! The script in dusk blue looked so elegant and the duck at the top made it exceptionally sweet. It is so nice to see happy photos like this from the wedding day!
