We were thrilled to collaborate with Oh So Beautiful Paper and Moglea for the invitations for Paper Party 2015! The Paper Party is an amazing event thrown by Nole Garey of Oh So Beautiful Paper every year during the National Stationery Show that brings press, retailers, and vendors from the stationery world together for an evening of fun. The invitations and envelope liners feature hand painted artwork by Meg from Moglea that we digitally printed on our white Bella Smooth Cotton paper. Gold matte foil stamping added a touch of shine to the invitations, and the envelopes were calligraphed in gold ink by Michele from Meant to Be Calligraphy. Vintage Rose stamps and a dip-dyed hint of pink finished the envelopes off beautifully. Take a look!

Each one of our 325+ designs has accompanying pieces (like reply cards, menus, coasters and more) and any one of these pieces can be used as inspiration for another – like Katya and Colin’s tri-fold letterpress and gold foil save the dates. They used the reception card design from our Odeon suite to not only express their wedding style but fill guests in on the particulars – like their website, accommodation information and a tactful way to ask that the children stay home.
