If you love paper cuts as much as I do, then chances are you're already familiar with the lovely work of paper cut artist Rob Ryan. Rob recently updated his etsy shop with a bunch of new handprinted tiles – these are a few of my favorites:

I’m such a sucker for place cards and escort cards – I just love them! And I just about squealed when I saw these fun and sunny yellow escort cards, from this gorgeous wedding over at the Bride’s Cafe yesterday:
The combination of yellow + use of an old door as a display is just perfect for a summer wedding. And I’m totally digging these flowers as well:
Love it. Lots more right here.

I’m completely in love with these letterpress, gocco, AND stitched (!!) wedding invitations featured over on Studio on Fire:
Designed by the bride and groom, Studio on Fire printed the long fold-out letterpress invitation, including a perforated RSVP card. They printed the fabric insert (containing the invite text) separately using a gocco. After the printing was complete, the bride and her mom then had a field day stitching everything together.
Wow. Fold-out letterpress invitation? Gocco-printed fabric insert? My jaw is kind of on the floor right now, I’m so impressed by these invitations.  These are stunning!

Bird and Banner was one of the first invitation design studios that I featured here, just after I started blogging back in September. I love, love, love the work of Bird and Banner, so I wanted to save some of their work for a later time – and what could be a better occasion than my 300th (!!) post?
So, continuing my recent infatuation with handkerchief wedding save the dates and invitations, this gorgeous invitation suite was hand-printed on vintage hankies and post cards:

This engagement announcement was inspired by the groom’s regular trek from DC to NY via the Chinatown bus:
This invitation suite combined hand-printing on fabric with letterpress for an unbelievably gorgeous result:
