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.
