The couple’s initials, along with an imprint of the LOVE sculpture, were letterpressed onto their stationery. Pretty postage from Champion Stamp Co. was included on the envelopes.

A simple design route was taken for this invite, which was hand lettered in a Spencerian style script by the bride. The more prominent lines and the couple’s names, were inspired by old advertisements and embellished letters.

Laser-cut bands tied in these letterpressed invitations to the wedding's lilac, light blue, and blush-pink palette.

The stationery suite included a blind impression of the couple's monogram, navy edging, a die-cut response card, and calligraphed envelopes.

A quirky coat of arms featuring an Alaskan musk ox and herring (a reference to the groom's time spent in Alaska) adorned this couple's letterpressed invitation suite.

This wedding's letterpressed suite started with the monogram designed by Megan Davis of Toast & Laurel. Rosemary, a spade, and a pitchfork helped announce the "farm formal" mood and dress code of this wedding.

The same flourishes used to create the couple's initials were calligraphed on each envelope to elegantly frame the address.

The bride, who designed this invitation, drew inspiration from swatches of Liberty of London fabric, keeping the color palette neutral with accents of soft greens and red. She also incorporated a bear illustration found in an old French book to represent the outdoor setting of their nuptials.

Gray letterpressed hand-written calligraphy on heavy white paper stock creates this simply elegant look.
