Happy Monday everyone! We’re starting the week with fun and casual wedding invitations from Gus & Ruby Letterpress inspired by Scrabble tiles! Samantha and Whitney created these playful invitations for a wedding this past summer, mixing bright colors with non-traditional wording and illustrations created by the bride – all letterpress printed on thick cotton paper.
From Samantha and Whitney: We designed these wedding invitations for a super rad couple getting married in Brewster, Massachusetts. Rachel and Josh wanted their stationery to reflect their fun-loving, casual, family-oriented personalities and the tone of their event. For the entire suite, we played off illustrations that the bride created of Scrabble tiles spelling out their names.
We then used bright colors, a mix of casual fonts and a ruled-paper background to give the pieces lots of personality and fun. Personal and non-traditional wording played off the Scrabble theme and set the tone for a celebratory event. Of course, all the pieces were lovingly letterpress printed by hand on our antique press (c. 1896) on beautiful, textural, super thick 220# 100% cotton.
Thanks Sam and Whit!
