In addition to a great line of wedding invitations, I was delighted to discover that Alee and Press also does adorable letterpress baby announcements. Even while providing a wide variety of styles and wording options, these announcements still manage to be both simple and completely fun at the same time.

As much as I love paper, I love the idea of wedding invitations printed (or in this case laser engraved) on unusual materials like wood and fabric. Â Oslo Press creates some truly lovely wood invitations with an understated elegance that works for either an informal outdoor wedding or a formal black-tie affair. Â They also create beautiful letterpress accents, like envelopes and rsvp cards. Â So unusual and so very beautiful… here are a few of my favorites:

While I absolutely love the look and feel of letterpress, I also love it when creative couples decide to use a non-traditional material in their wedding invitations, like fabric or even invitations printed on thin sheets of wood veneer (more on that later). I particularly love the result of these English garden floral wedding invitations from the lovely Peonies and Polaroids:
Using fabric to back DIY invitations seems like such a great way to personalize invitations without the expense of a custom wedding invitation design. And with so many great fabrics to choose from, you can easily find one that ties together your wedding theme and color palette, giving your guests an idea of what to expect on the big day.
I love the way that the simple construction and elegant, but understated, floral pattern perfectly captured the feel of her lovely wedding last month:
Just lovely… you can read more about the invitation assembly process here and here.

These invitations from Kristina at Lovely Morning are just beautiful – the ribbon, the honeycomb pattern, the blind impression, the calligraphy, it all just works so well together…
