Telegram Postcard Wedding Invitations

06/30/2009

Like many of you, I was completely smitten with this gorgeous 1920s-inspired wedding on Once Wed yesterday (love, love, love that the bride, Ginny, used a vintage library card file as her guest book!).  And as much as I loved each and every detail from this wedding, I just had to focus in on the wedding invitations for a minute:

We’ve all seen lots of postcard RSVP cards, but this couple used a postcard as their entire wedding invitation.  Printed by Greenwich Letterpress in a single color on both sides, the invitations refer the guests to a website containing all the additional information that would normally be included in a full invitation suite, such as accommodation information, additional weekend activities, or directions.

Not only was this telegram-style postcard completely perfect for their 1920s wedding style, but it’s a fabulous way to stay within budget while still having gorgeous letterpress wedding invitations.  I think the etched heart detail on the reverse side is my favorite part…

Absolutely Awesome Baby Announcements

06/30/2009

I think this birth announcement might be the coolest I've ever seen:

6a00e554ee8a2288330115718e1315970b 500wi Absolutely Awesome Baby Announcements
6a00e554ee8a22883301157098e09e970c 500wi Absolutely Awesome Baby Announcements
6a00e554ee8a22883301157098e103970c 500wi Absolutely Awesome Baby Announcements
The announcement was designed by the parents, Tosh and Victoria Brown, and letterpress printed in four spot colors on Crane Lettra paper by The Mandate Press.  The overall design kind of reminds me of The Royal Tennenbaums, don't you think?  Either way, I just love the simple, yet completely non-traditional and unique, design of this baby announcement.
Check out more photos over on The Mandate Press flickr stream – the good folks over at The Mandate Press also recently launched a new website where you can find a lot more of their fabulous work, check it out right here!

…this sunny office and writing desk:

Can’t you just feel the creative energy and motivation flowing through those windows along with all that fabulous sunlight? I can.
