Whether you’ve just started your path or have found your life’s mission, landing a new job is an exciting thing to celebrate! Here are a few cards that tell someone that you’re proud of this accomplishment and that their hard work to get there has not gone unnoticed. — Tashia

Wedding Congratulations Cards from 9th Letter Press

I’m loving the sweet and whimsical style of these letterpress greeting cards from 9th Letter Press, a relatively new letterpress and design studio based in Winter Park, Florida.  9th Letter Press incorporates illustration and hand lettering into pretty much everything they do, from greeting cards to wedding invitations.  Beautiful!

Andrea + Taylor’s Pink and Orange Modern Wedding Invitations

This vibrant pink and orange wedding invitation suite comes to us from one of my favorite stationery shops – Lion in the Sun in Brooklyn.  The in-house design team at Lion in the Sun began by creating a save the date inspired by the wedding venue in Hilton Head, South Carolina.  The bright color palette continued for the invitation suite, which also incorporated a classic script font and gold edge painting for added sophistication.

From Melinda and Dave of Lion in the Sun: Andrea and Taylor’s wedding in Hilton Head started out with a fun and festive save the date featuring the Daufuskie Island Lighthouse illustrated in house by our talented design team.  Bright pink and creamsicle inks were used throughout the wedding from start to finish.

When the time came to design the invitations, Andrea and Taylor spent lots of time making sure that the style was was formal but still fun!  We used Bickham Swash for their names and added gold edging to give the invitation some formality.  Then we added fun motifs and graphics to get the guests excited about all of the fun wedding activities.

For the day-of stationery, Andrea ordered brightly colored cocktail napkins with her favorite drink recipe printed on them for a personal touch to the cocktail hour.  We loved working on this gorgeous invitation suite!

Lauren + Arman’s Floral Block Printed Wedding Invitations

I’m a huge fan of the block printed stationery and textiles from Katharine Watson, so I was thrilled to hear that she started offering custom wedding invitations earlier this year!  Katharine sent over this beautiful invitation suite that she created for a recent wedding, all hand printed using hand carved linoleum blocks.

Katharine used two different linoleum blocks to print the floral designs on the invitations, accommodations card, rsvp card, and corresponding thank you cards in a dark magenta ink.  The text was digitally printed in gray ink, then combined with kraft paper envelopes.  You can read more about the block printing process right here.

Carly + John’s Modern Blue + Orange Wedding Invitations

Happy Monday everyone!  We’re starting the week with two absolutely gorgeous wedding invitations.  First up, this modern striped invitation from Melissa and Amy from Atheneum Creative.  In addition to the beautiful invitation suite, Melissa and Amy created day-of stationery, from ceremony programs to magnet escort cards.  I’m loving the neutral blue and gray color palette combined with seriously fun pops of orange!

From Melissa + Amy:  Carly and John asked us to create a very modern invitation for their wedding and gave us a great blue, gray, and orange color palette to work with.  They are a very fun, whimsical couple and basically let us do our thing.

For ceremony programs, we designed a simple card printed digitally on both front and back – which helped keep the budget in line.  We also created small booklet welcome letters that were places inside the welcome packages.

We used magnets in various colors as escort cards – all displayed on a large magnetic chalkboard at the reception venue.

In keeping with the modern wedding invitation style, we designed a set of notecards for the couple to use after the wedding.  Lastly, we created stickers that were used on the invitations as well as the favors.
