Telegram Postcard Wedding Invitations

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…

  1. I love the simplicity of these–and I can’t stand how cool they are. Why don’t I think of these things?
