Spanish Wedding Invitations

How amazing are these wedding invitations by Studio on Fire?  The invitations were letterpress printed in both English and Spanish to suit the needs of the bride and groom.  I love all the details, from the bright pops of green and orange to the overprint detailing and simple floral graphic and scallop borders:

So lovely, and overall just beautiful printing as always by Studio on Fire.  Head on over to Beast Pieces for more photos and background on the design and printing process behind these gorgeous invitations…

The Groomsmen Poster

A reader sent me a note to let me know about this poster that a friend's husband designed as a gift for his groomsmen.  Some of them used to be in a band together, so the poster was his way way of personally thanking his buddies for standing up with him on the big day:

Neat idea, huh?  If your soon-to-be husband is on the hunt for a unique and personal groomsmen gift, let him know that he can get his own totally customized poster via Droplet Studio on etsy.

Muslamb Paper Goods

The month of Ramadan started last week, and I'm usually a bit stumped when it comes to finding suitable cards (much less letterpress) to commemorate Ramadan and Muslim holidays.  When I saw these beautiful letterpress cards from muslamb paper goods on poppytalk yesterday, I just had to pass them along for anyone who might be looking to wish friends or colleagues "Ramadan Mubarak" (blessed Ramadan) or "Eid Mubarak" (blessed festival) at the end of Ramadan:

There's also a few more Islamic letterpress greeting cards and invitations in the muslamb paper goods etsy shop, and lots of photos of past work on the muslamb paper goods flickr page here.

Happy Weekend!

I don't know about all of you, but this week has just flown by for me – I almost can't believe it's Friday already!  I'm super-excited for the weekend, since tonight we're going to see the Flaming Lips and tomorrow I get to meet Jenna!  But in the meantime…

That's it from me for this week — but I'll be back next week with more real invitations and details about the giveaways for my upcoming one-year blog anniversary!  So.  Excited.  I hope you all have a lovely weekend and I'll see you back here on Monday!
