Layered Envelope Wedding Invitations

Ever since seeing Cheree Berry’s Matryoshka doll-inspired save the dates over the summer, I’ve been kind of obsessed with the idea of wedding invitations that incorporate layered envelopes – giving the recipient the feeling of unwrapping a beautifully packaged gift.  These invitations from Erin Jang are a perfect example with the main invitation was enclosed in a small envelope placed on a letterpress card:

I’m a big fan of the long, skinny layout of the main invitation – which complements the rest of the invitation suite in a really unique way.  And behind the fold-out invitation were a reception enclosure with perforated rsvp postcard and a map of the wedding location, both beautifully letterpress printed by Studio on Fire:

Lovely! You can read more about these invitations and see additional photos of these wedding invitations over at The Indigo Bunting.

The Working Proof

I recently learned about a fantastic new project, called The Working Proof, which features a series of limited edition prints from some of my favorite artists for a great cause.  Anna and Sean from Sub-Studio started The Working Proof as a way to promote art and social responsibility by donating 15% of the sales from each print to a charity of the artists choice.  The Working Proof releases one new print each week, including the prints below from Heather Smith Jones and Samantha Hahn:

 {"burden" by samantha hahn}

Upcoming artists include Yasmine Surovec, Justin Richel, Julianna Swaney, Ben Javens, Catherine Ryan, Dan Funderburgh, and lots more. You can read more about the project right here, and learn more about each new weekly print on The Working Proof blog.

And speaking of Heather Smith Jones, I love the quiet beauty of this print, inspired by her husband's restoration of a home built in the 1800s:
