Botanical Postcards
This two-sided client-designed save the date postcard combines light warm gray letterpress ink for the front with flat inkjet printing on the back. The botanical image has wonderful ornate detail while the R+B monogram on the back is simple and clean. The two styles work beautifully together. When printing two-sided, we can use letterpress for both, but it’s…

Lavender & Mint in Scappoose
Here’s a lovely wedding set for Parklife’s favorite brother and his favorite new wife. For the save the date we used two custom inks on thick 600g ecru paper. For the invitations, we carried through the same inks, paper, along with a few variations on the Gotham typeface. On the back of the invitation we added…

Leaves in Motion
This cheerful set was based on Parklife’s Antiquity. It’s one of our most popular designs. As we describe on the site, “The overlapping light and dark motifs give this invitation a sense of motion that’s unlike anything else in our collection.” This version has been modified a bit: the couple chose pearl white paper and…

Kindly Save the Date
Halloween’s over, midterm elections are in the rear-view mirror, and we’re barreling toward Thanksgiving (which, in our modern era, is a blink away from Christmas and New Year’s). Then, the recovery from all that, followed by the dull expanse of winter. HOW DID IT GET TO BE FEBRUARY ALREADY, you ask? Well, take a breath;…

Gold Leaves
Here’s a set we did which shows off new technique. (Well, new to this blog … the technique itself is hundreds of years old.) Overall, it’s sort of a modified combination of elements from Whirl and Vignette, with a custom, gold-foil-stamped art element. This set included an RSVP card with printed return address envelopes, and…

Calistoga Oak
This design is a testament to inspiration and collaboration, and to taking aspects from different designs to create your your dream union of design elements. To follow that metaphor, this set is a sort of marriage of the Californian and Vignette designs, with some art adopted from an earlier set. The oak tree illustration is…

Perforation Perfection
This was a really fun set. Designed by graphic designer (and groom) Derek Howles — who, incidentally, also designs these super-cool cartography poster prints — it was interesting and unconventional. And art-y! Which is fitting, since they got married at the North Carolina Museum of Art. The set was comprised of a save the date…

Roses in Rockville Centre
This was a set based on the Franklin design. Printed on 600g Pearl White stock in Marine and Periwinkle inks, the design has striking text printed over a delicate, floral background. The invitation, along with a reception card, RSVP card and envelope, were held together within the outer envelope by a monogrammed belly band in…

Getting to the Chapel
Everyone has a smartphone, right? Or a car with some fancy navigation system? After all, it’s 2014! Through the magic of satellites, people can just enter an address, then follow along as their moving-blue-dot avatars progress to their destination. OK, for one thing — that isn’t true. Smartphones are everywhere, but even if every last…

Get With The Program
Ah, the wedding program. Do you really need one? Isn’t it just one more thing to do, on what seems like an interminable list of pre- “I do” to-dos? Won’t people get the general idea, and understand that they are gathered together, that day, to join together two people in matrimony? Well … yes, it…
