Black and White Foil Stamp Calligraphy Wedding Invitations

When a stylish boutique owner gets engaged and teams up with a design maven like Lauren of Blue Eye Brown Eye for her wedding stationery, you just know that invitation is going to pack a punch! These black and white foil stamp calligraphy wedding invitations are bold yet totally refined and elegant, and are complemented by colorful marbled envelope liners and curated vintage stamps! Lauren’s calligraphy is beautifully incorporated throughout and I love how the day of stationery pieces incorporate gold into the overall design aesthetic. Bold, unique, and timeless – what a great combo!

Black and White Foil Stamp Calligraphy Wedding Invitations

From Lauren: Vintage stamps. Marbled Liners. Classic black and white with pops of color. All of the makings of a beautiful and timeless wedding suite. Enter couple Sara Kate and Jason, a stylish match made in heaven. The bride is the owner of Sara Kate Studios, an eclectic boutique, styling company, and interior design power house out of Oklahoma City, and had a distinct vision to match her impeccable taste.

Black and White Foil Stamp Calligraphy Wedding Invitations

Mixing classic black and white with pops of color in the envelope liners and vintage stamps, their invitation perfectly represented them as a couple. We had a lot of fun pulling together the vintage stamp collection, representing artists, florals, a mix of colors, and geodes, which went along with the hand marbled envelope liners in shades of pinks, blues, golds, and blacks. Each liner was different, a detail I love to incorporate. It gives each invitation its own special and individual personality.

Black and White Foil Stamp Calligraphy Wedding Invitations

We incorporated foil printing in each element for this project, from invitations to day of pieces. For the invitation, black foil printing on thick, white cotton stock made the text pop and stand out, and white the white foil printing on black envelopes added drama. Mix that with white calligraphy on a black envelope, and you get a distinct look (and a personal favorite of mine).

For day of pieces, we transitioned from black and white to gold, incorporating calligraphy into the menu designs, and a custom hand drawn laurel wreath with their new last name monogram – L. We carried the gold through to the escort cards in a unique display: using a vintage bulb frame, a special piece of the bride’s.

The bride used her impeccable styling skills and composed each vignette for the paper prior to the wedding, making the images all the more special because they have her special touch.

Navy and White Mediterranean Inspired Wedding Invitations

The essential ingredients of a Mediterranean-inspired wedding invitation? A gorgeous navy and white color palette, deckle edge paper, and absolutely stunning hand painted envelope liners. Camille of Robinson Paperie created these bespoke navy and white Mediterranean inspired wedding invitations inspired by the bride and groom’s favorite global destination: southern Italy! Every detail, down to the deckled edges on the invitation, brings a whole new meaning to the word handmade – and makes us daydream of quaint seaside towns on the Amalfi Coast!

Navy and White Mediterranean Inspired Wedding Invitations by Robinson Paperie

From Camille: When I was contacted by Leah and Skyler to design their wedding suite, it was their story that inspired me more than anything. The couple had just returned from an epic trip around the world: South America, Malaysia, Indonesia, New Zealand, Australia, you name it! I was eager to hear what part of the globe their wedding inspiration was going to come from and… it was Italy!

Navy and White Mediterranean Inspired Wedding Invitations by Robinson Paperie

Most people who think about Italian inspiration may think of wine, rolling hills, vineyards, olive branches, etc. But Leah and Skyler were eager to make their invitation feel traveled – as if guests might actually be joining them in Italy for the big day! After some thought, we found the perfect balance of “old and wise” and “new and fresh.”

Navy and White Mediterranean Inspired Wedding Invitations by Robinson Paperie

We pulled design inspiration from the Mediterranean, sketched art, organic fibers, textiles, natural papers, and more. Leah and Skyler really loved the idea of making everything look “done by hand” so we did just that. The edges of the invitation were deckled by hand, and all the envelopes were hand lettered with white opaque ink.

The sketch of the church across the street from their wedding venue was hand illustrated. Even though the suite itself was simple in terms of the design, the watercolor tile liner was hand painted and given a cotton texture to make it look a little distressed. This was JUST the extra “pop” it needed! We carried over the textile design to the rehearsal dinner card and changed the shape to make it stand out. It was an honor to help this couple relive their travels through their wedding suite, and more importantly, share it with all their guests!

Whimsical Floral Adoption Baby Shower Invitations

Baby showers are just the best. They’re both a chance for parents-to-be to celebrate with family and friends and stock up on a few new baby essentials (OMGbabiesneedsomuchstuff). And seriously, there really are so many things that new parents need – including moms and dads becoming parents through adoption. I’m beyond thrilled and honored that the talented Kristy Rice of Momental Designs is sharing her whimsical floral adoption baby shower invitations with us today! The invitations feature Kristy’s signature vibrant hand painted florals, rose gold foil printing, and fabric envelope liners, these festive baby shower invitations – perfect for celebrating Kristy’s newest addition!

Whimsical Floral Adoption Baby Shower Invitations by Momental Designs

From Kristy: These invitations were very special for me as I created them for my own baby shower for my recent adoption. The invitations are loosely based on the paintings of artist, Frida Khalo, and a blooming cactus watercolor painting that I did. They are very whimsical, featuring a variety of different fun elements to help the overall aesthetic come to life!

The highlights of the design for me were the rose gold foil printing, fabric elements, and the individually hand painted components of the invitations. All pieces are hand painted using various techniques like gold spatter, bold aqua watercolor washes, and fuchsia free hand outlines on the menus.

Each guest wore paper flower crown, even the babies! Made from handmade, painted papers and greens, each crown had its own personality. Each seating card featured a personal free hand watercolor sketch that I made for guests based on their favorite flowers, favorite pet, favorite collectibles, favorite food, or a nickname. Seating cards were hung on a dip dyed fabric backdrop featuring a calligraphy laser cut wood sign and greenery.

The menus were die cut on shimmering gold stock with a nearly-neon pink painted edge. The edge painting was done a bit differently than usual as it was painted on the face of the menu along with the edge. Each menu was unique depending on how much pressure was applied to the brush during painting.

The vibrant floral aesthetic continued throughout the party with floral watercolor pattern placemats featuring dahlias, mulberries, vines and ranunculus. I had a blast putting together all the elements for this special day and making my vision come to life.

Timeless Black and White Wedding Invitations

When it comes to timeless wedding invitations, it really doesn’t get any better than classic black and white with a dose of gorgeous calligraphy. These timeless black and white wedding invitations from Megan of Ruby the Fox feature black letterpress printed text, spot calligraphy from Angelique, Ink, blind impression palm trees and mountains inspired by the Ojai, California wedding location! Add in a couple of modern touches, including black edge painting and colorful botanical envelope liners, and you’ve got one seriously gorgeous invitation suite!

Timeless Black and White Wedding Invitations by Ruby the Fox

From Megan: This Ojai Valley Inn wedding for Mia and Douglas was an absolute DREAM to work on! I was contacted by Amber Weir Events to create this timeless suite for the most lovely bride. Her vision was super refined, yet organic, and I was honestly smitten with every element of her big day.

Timeless Black and White Wedding Invitations by Ruby the Fox

We started the design process with a pared down palette of black, white, and pops of red. After the bride had mentioned she wanted her out-of-town guests to really embrace and enjoy the beautiful venue, we decided to incorporate a blind (no ink) letterpress printed silhouette of the mountains and palm trees. This touch pulled in the gorgeous California scenery while still letting the design feel really fresh and clean. It was such a treat to work on a black and white design that was honestly a bit out of my design element (in the very best possible way!).

Timeless Black and White Wedding Invitations by Ruby the Fox

We utilized stunning modern calligraphy from Angi Phillips of Angelique, Ink for the names of the bride and groom, the addresses, and the venue titles. The rest of the invitation text was done in a classic serif font. Using spot calligraphy is one of my FAVORITE ways to really personalize a design. The cards were letterpress printed on white extra heavy cotton stock and were finished with a bold black edge painting. The letterpress printing was done in black ink and a blind (no ink) impression — really showcasing the impression and letting the process shine!

Timeless Black and White Wedding Invitations by Ruby the Fox

The crisp white envelopes were lined with a beautiful vintage botanical print, which gave the perfect pop of color and mimicked the flowers used at the ceremony and reception! The bride’s vision came together perfectly and I must say, this is one of my favorite wedding invitations to date.

Unicorn and Gemstone Inspired Birthday Party Invitations

These unicorn and gemstone inspired birthday party invitations are perfect if you’re in the mood for something magical, festive, and just plain fun! This bright pink invitation suite, complete with the most adorable gemstone envelope liner, was designed by Briana of Flyover Design Co. I imagine that quite a bit of giggling ensued while guests played pin the horn on the unicorn!

Unicorn and Gemstone Inspired Birthday Party Invitations by Flyover Design Co.

From Briana: We designed this unicorn-themed invitation suite for a lucky four-year-old girl’s upcoming birthday party. The client’s main request when contacting us to help with the party was to incorporate hand-drawn unicorns, watercolor washes, and geometric elements while staying in the desired pink color palette.

Unicorn and Gemstone Inspired Birthday Party Invitations by Flyover Design Co.

Our process began with the illustration of the unicorn—we hand-drew a few variations of unicorns for the client to choose from. Once the unicorn design was selected, we started on the main 5×7 invitation. The final invitation includes all of the party details with design elements including: watercolor, hand-lettering, and gold-foil printing. After completing the main invitation, we moved on to the envelope liners to accompany the suite. The liners incorporated the same geometric gemstones from the 5×7 invitation while staying in the pink color palette. From there, we created party favors for the event.

The favors and details we created include laser cut wood unicorns that were wrapped around the invitations and the napkins at the party with gold and white twine. We added holes and ribbon to hang the poster. We also created stickers in six color variations as party favors for guests to take home from the party, along with a 10×20 Pin the Horn on the Unicorn Sign with a hand-drawn unicorn on a 10×20 poster board and cutout horns for the guests. Finally, we printed place cards with the gemstone motif for the number of guests specified, then hand-lettered each card with a black paint pen.

Once finished, the overall suite and favors create a cohesive look for the birthday party. By sticking within the same palette and including the two main elements—the unicorn and gemstones—throughout, it stays consistent and gives off the magical, girly feel that the client was looking for.
