Best of 2012: Silhouette + Bow Tie Birthday Party Invitations

I’m already looking forward to Sophie’s first birthday party, if for no other reason than the opportunity for seriously cute party invitations! When designer Emily Ley celebrated her son’s first birthday she turned to her friend Amber from Pitbulls and Posies to create these incredibly adorable silhouette and bow tie invitations. Isn’t that just the best combination for a little boy?

Best of 2012: Nature-Inspired Laser Cut Wedding Invitations

The laser cut technique is such a great way to add dimension and texture to a wedding invitation suite, and Georgie + Dave’s nature-inspired invitations by Amy of Saint Gertrude Design and Letterpress are a perfect example. The tree silhouette is beautiful as a stand alone piece, and is even more beautiful when combined with letterpress printed pieces!

Best of 2012: Lindsay’s Hand Lettered Wedding Invitations

Of all the gorgeous wedding invitations I’ve had the pleasure of featuring this year, these beautiful and whimsical invitations – a collaboration between the bride, Lindsay, and lettering artist Molly Jacques – are definitely at the top of my list. I’m completely smitten with every detail, from Molly’s beautiful hand lettering (of course) to the silhouettes and mixture of patterns and textures. Just gorgeous!

Quick Pick: Sesame Letterpress Silhouette Stationery

I don’t think I’ll ever tire of silhouette motifs, particularly when they’re this pretty!  I first came across these silhouette cards and stationery sets from Sesame Letterpress at the National Stationery Show, but was reminded of them while looking around for the calendar round up. Just lovely!
