  • 50th Anniversary Surprise

    After the overwhelming success of Elisa’s invitation set last spring, she’s back with party invitations for her parents’ anniversary.

  • A Wedding Between Two Ferns

    Last month we featured Luke and Robyn’s Mount Hood wedding invitation set. Sticking with the Oregon theme, this time we head south for Julia and Detlev’s wedding on the Umpqua River. Both the wedding ceremony invitation and the rehearsal dinner invite feature fern imagery – somewhat abstractly on the main invite and more realistically and delicately for…

  • Business Set For Force Majeure Vineyard

    Washington’s Force Majeure Vineyard makes lovely Bordeaux and Rhone-inspired wines. We’ve been lucky enough to sample from their limited production and we think their wines pair beautifully with our custom letterpress stationery.

The grooms-to-be had created an online video save-the-date for their guests, but for the invitations, they decided that letterpress would help underscore the formality of the occasion. The…

  • Grand Tetons

Both their families were very connected to Jackson Hole — a beautiful spot in Wyoming nestled in the valley of the Teton Range — and so they knew they wanted to have their wedding there. They also wanted to incorporate the famous landscape in their invitations.…

  • Autumn Paisley

    Jennie and Mark found the perfect necktie for him to wear at their autumn wedding — the pattern was a stylized paisley in orange and brown, with some lilac. That purchase turned into the inspiration for their wedding invitation. They loved letterpress, and after searching a bit for a good, independent printer, they found Parklife…
