Gold Invitations with Vellum

We worked with our friends at Paper Twist to create these lovely invitations. Gold matte foil stamping on white and black stock sets the tone for the events perfectly. A vellum host card with black digital writing overlays the larger invitation. Both envelopes are lined with the hector patten in gold matte.

Tawny and Holly Holiday Cards

We worked with our friends at Paper Place to create these beautifully holly holiday cards. Our Charlton Holiday was the starting point for the design. The card was updated to a folded card, with message on the interior. The front features the Charlton boarder, in which the client will add a family photo. The suite is completed by a foil liner in the matching tawny shine on holly.

Ordering Extras vs. Ordering and Reordering

We’re here to help make your wedding stationery process a wonderful and stress free experience!  When it comes to quantity, it’s always better to overorder than underorder.

We recommend ordering extras, in case of guest list changes, mailing mishaps. It’s also important to ensure you have enough for keepsakes and photography.  

We fully understand that things change and move quickly, and sometimes reorders are necessary.  We’re here to do whatever we can to make all orders, including reorders, as seamless as possible.  

Many people and processes help create these keepsakes, and this process happens whether it’s an initial order or a reorder. The same amount of care, materials, and dedication of time is put into each order, so the cost of ordering 100 + 10 is significantly higher than the cost of 110.

To help save you stress and cost, below we’ve broken out the cost difference for ordering 110 in an initial order, versus ordering 100 and a reorder of 10.

Modern Black Mitzvah Invitations

We worked with our friends at Sweet Paper to bring Bryce’s bar mitzvah invitations to life. Our Pura Vida sample was the starting point, to which we added the motif from our Arches save the date. The Regina liner in black is the perfect minimal pattern to complete this modern suite.

Introducing Dahlman: Vintage Christmas Inspired Holiday Design

We’re always interested to learn about our designer’s inspiration. Our designer Cassidy created the Dahlman holiday card for our 2023 holiday collection, and walks us through her inspiration:

Dahlman was inspired by the vintage Christmas ornaments from my great grandma’s mini Christmas tree! I’ve always loved her tree so much so I knew I had to illustrate my favorite ornaments and turn them into a pattern. I named the suite after my Oma’s maiden name Dahlman, as she’s always encouraged and inspired me to live out my dreams as an artist and designer

The color palette and illustration style was heavily inspired by Christmas cards from the 50s/60s, but especially the 1950s collection of Christmas cards designed by the amazing animator Thorten Hee. You can see these below, along with some real vintage ornaments.

The champagne matte foil and pink pearl shine give the card that retro feel and the red shine foil brings in the holiday cheer! For the typography, I used Dark Paradise for the title and Altesse script to help give the card a retro feel and Avenir helped to add a modern touch.

The card can be printed in multiple different colorways and the illustrations can be moved and adjusted to create something truly personalized. Pictures could also be added inside the big circle cutouts of the ornaments to place photos of your family or pets! I’ve mocked up some alternative color ways below.

Dahlman Option 1 – Holly paper with green shine foil, red shine foil, and champagne matte foil

Dahlman Option 2 – Backer option –  Bella white paper with green shine foil, red shine foil, and champagne matte foil 

Dahlman Option 3 –  Bella bright white paper with pink pearl shine foil, ice shine foil, & champagne matte foil
