I love travel-inspired elements on wedding invitations, and I’m officially a happy camper when designers combine a sense of global wanderlust with the signature red and blue pattern of an airmail envelope. Well, Kathleen from & Kathleen Design did just that with her latest wedding invitation, and the result couldn’t be more stunning!
From Kathleen: Kim & John stumbled across my work while searching for a fun airmail invitation design. They immediately hired me to design their own custom wedding invitations. Kim and John only needed an invitation card – nothing else – so we decided to make it extra special by having it letterpress printed on a thick matte cover stock paper.
I kept the colors a classic red and blue and from there designed a custom invitation within the traditional striped airmail border. Kim & John were ecstatic to receive the final prints and I was thrilled to have another happy client.
Ooh, letterpress + airmail? Yes please! Thank you so much Kathleen!

We had a blast working with Kathleen and LOVE the way they came out. They are the perfect invitations and feel for our wedding.
Thanks, Nole, for featuring these!
they turned out beautifully. i love the thick white stock. paper goods that make you want to hold onto them a bit longer are always my favorite.
I am a travel bug and absolutely love this idea! So lovely and creative =)
