Kathryn from Blackbird Letterpress let me know about the incredibly sweet way that one of her customers asked her friends to be bridesmaids in her upcoming wedding.  Meryl used Kathryn’s Grizzly Bear Hug die cut cards, inserted some photobooth photos that she’d taken with friends over the years, and a tiny banner containing the relevant question.

Meryl reports that she received many hugs and yeses in return.  Yay!

Such a cute idea – thanks Kathryn and Meryl!

The first set of real wedding invitations come to us from Tina at Joie Studio, a custom letterpress studio in Los Angeles, California.  Tina recently printed the wedding invitations for actress Constance Zimmer‘s October wedding.  Designed by art director Eliza Kenan, the invitation features a gatefold layout with custom silhouettes and other personal details in a navy blue color palette, as well as a double-sided rsvp postcard:

Constance and Russell chose to have their daughter host the wedding for the invitation wording – too cute!

Constance even used vintage stamps on the outer envelopes – do actresses read wedding blogs, too?

Constance loved the invitations so much, she also had Tina screen print a few vintage handkerchiefs to give to her bridesmaids as gifts.  Aren’t they pretty?

Too cute!  Thanks so much for sending these over Tina!
