Oh So Beautiful Paper

If only I’d known about these invitations last week!  Kathryn posted this gorgeous wedding on Saturday, and I love, love the silhouette-inspired hard-bound invitation books that the couple created for their guests!

The bride, Katie, is a stationery designer, so I happily clicked over to her stationery website, Chellé Paperie, and flickr page to learn more about the invitations and Save the Dates.

From Katie and Ben’s flickr page: The invitation is a hard cover book. We printed a full bleed on this beautiful oyster colored bookcloth and flush mounted it to the hinged covers:

The invitation was an 8 page hand-stitched signature, bound with red & white bakers twine:

The reply card is a perforated postcard.  Each book was personalized with a bookplate for the recipient, as well as a handwritten note to every guest on the last page of our book:

Some of the invitations were hand-delivered in boxes wrapped in woodgrain papers:

In addition to the post card rsvp and hand-written letter to each guest, the invitation book contained the main invitation, a map and directions, and weekend itinerary:

In addition to these gorgeous invitations, Katie also created a double-sided Save the Date poster, sent via custom mailing tubes:

Gorgeous!!  I love the personalized details throughout the entire package – and the overall design is just so, so lovely… swoon.
