Seersucker + Letterpress Wedding Invitations

I just cannot stop staring at these gorgeous letterpress wedding invitations, designed by the ladies at Ice Cream Social and printed by Gilah Press:

The crisp red + white color palette is perfect for a summer wedding – but can we just talk about the details for a minute?  The seersucker fabric pouch with the gocco-printed apple + peach tag? The little red polka dots on the back of the rsvp postcard?  The darling monogram (and I’m not usually a huge monogram person) inspired by vintage fruit wrappers? Love, love, love.

Rocket Ship Birthday Party Invitations

Yesterday it was hot air balloons, today it’s rocket ships!  I love these invitations that Brooke from inchmark made for her 5-year-old’s recent birthday party – each invitation is made from cut office supply paper and is therefore unique:

 

 

I think my favorite part is the hand addressed (and hand delivered) envelopes.  I don’t have children yet, but when we do this is definitely a tradition that I’d like to incorporate into birthday parties.  More over at inchmark right here.

{woodgrain + country-inspired letterpress invitations}

So it turns out that some of you have already used the embossed woodgrain paper from Gmund – excellent!  Spark Stationery sent over photos of this letterpress pocket invitation that they printed for an upcoming winter wedding:

I love the way the woodgrain texture complements the silver and blue palette of the invitations.  And since I was poking around on the Spark Stationery blog, I couldn't help but also include these country-inspired wedding invitations:

These gorgeous invitations feature fabric and stitching details – and I'm completely in love with the faux-cross-stitched detail in the font used for the names.  Very cool.

Woodgrain Embossed Paper

You guys are the coolest.  Really.  So remember Sarah's ridiculously adorable Save the Dates, printed on some pretty fabulous woodgrain embossed paper that couldn't be found anywhere?  Well, one of my amazing readers, Jackie, managed to track some down for us!

These woodgrain embossed papers are all available over at Gmund.  I haven't actually seen these in person yet, so I can't completely vouch for them, but I have confirmed with Gmund that the following colors in the Savanna style all feature a woodgrain embossed finish:  Limba, Tindalo, Bubinga and Glowing Makassar (the swatches above are of Limba, Tindalo, and Glowing Makassar).  If any of you decide to give these papers a try, please come back to share the results!
