The summer has flown past us, and as we were looking through all of our wedding sets, we came across this beauty! This couple chose our Elegant Monogram design and added some illustrative elements to the other pieces in the set. The black tie optional invite looks perfectly formal in navy ink, and the sailboat, Brooklyn Bridge and champagne glasses provide great contrast printed in slate blue ink. Doesn’t a sunset cruise in NYC sound such a special wedding event?

This photo captures quite a grouping of animal themed notecards from this past year - lions, foxes and beetles, oh my! We love getting to print these fairly unique cards in between our wedding work. Take a look at the detail on the porcupine - the impression of the letterpress shows off each of its quills in fine detail. We’re also partial to the bright green beetle trying to crawl across the card.

The theme of this summer’s weddings seems to have been Maritime, and we never tire of printing this beautiful wave illustration. This set was for a couple getting married in Sag Harbor, so the ocean and whale elements align with their theme perfectly. The whole design was printed in slate blue ink on warm white paper in a modern font. We especially like the addition of the hydrangea on the RSVP card, as it softens the entire look.

We have been fielding questions about wording for RSVP cards lately, and one that often comes up is how to address food allergies. This response card is a good example of a simple way to allow your guests to notify you of any food allergies, so you can provide an alternate meal choice, if possible. It’s also a great example of how to ask your guests to reply to the events they will be attending, and to choose a meal option for the wedding reception.

We came across this beautiful set of invitations that we created for a New York City wedding last summer. The entire set is printed in navy blue ink, giving it a formal but lighter feeling. The icons on the invitation and rsvp card are NYC landmarks, and the envelope liner is a vintage map of New York, as well. Each cards has a simple border to tie them together and frame the text. We love the last image that shows details of the imagery up close, where you can really get a sense of the letterpress impression in the warm white paper.

Labor Day spells the official end of summer for most, with schools starting in New York and some leaves starting an early fall. We’re trying to soak up the last bit of summer, though with these fun custom note cards that we have printed recently. The bright pink, blue and yellow inks are perfectly sunny and cheerful!

A belated congratulations go out to Mattie and Jeremy who were married last month at the Woolverton Inn! We absolutely love this set, from the navy and blush pink color combination, to the pairing of an airy script with sans serif type. The floral illustrations on the invitation and website cards lend the perfect amount of romance to the design. They also opted to include a Weekend Guide card detailing all of the events and pertinent information for their guests.

Congratulations to Abigail and Edison on their wedding this Labor Day weekend! There couldn’t be a nicer way to end the summer than at a gorgeous wedding on Martha’s Vineyard with friends and family. We worked with this couple on their Save the Dates and invitation set, both using our Maritime themed design. The combination of seagulls, waves and lighthouse are the perfect imagery for a wedding on Martha’s Vineyard. The save the date and invitation were printed in slate blue and navy ink, with the other pieces in solid navy. In addition to the wedding timeline card, we created a small Covid-19 information card to relay that important information.
