Gold Foil Hand Lettered Wedding Invitations

Happy Monday everyone! Before I head off for a few days in the sun, I just had to share these gorgeous wedding invitations from Arley-Rose and Morgan of Ladyfingers Letterpress! Created for a wedding in the Dominican Republic, these invitations feature Arley-Rose’s signature hand lettering in stunning metallic gold foil, a beautiful rainbow roll sunset, architectural laser cut details, and a pop of bright neon edge painting. Love, love, love!

From Arley-Rose and Morgan: It didn’t take long for Michelle and Geoff to knock us off our feet and inspire us to make some of our most favorite invitations we’ve ever made! Influenced by their correspondence through adorable hand-written cards, genuinely sweet emails, and giddy phone calls filled with excitement and pure joy, we put our heads together to come up with some invitations fit for some of the sweetest clients we’ve ever had!

Since their wedding is going to be held in the Dominican Republic, they wanted an invitation suite that reflected the excitement and love they have for each other, while relaying the modern simplicity of their beautiful ocean-side venue.

Their hand-lettered invitations were hot foil stamped in bright gold foil onto thick, 220lb cotton Crane Lettra paper. On the backside of the invitation, a drawing of the sunset from the Casa Kimball infinity pool was rendered as a dual-split letterpress rainbow roll. Hot pink edge painting was applied to the edge of each piece, giving just the perfect amount of pop for each invitation!

The design for their enclosure mimics a pattern found in one of the architectural features at the venue. The pattern was then laser cut out of a Shimmer Ice paper and assembled with a pocket in the back to hold the RSVP card and envelope.

Their bright gold outer envelope is lined with a soft blue paper that was letterpress printed with a serene ocean design, and a letterpress return address. In the end, we were sad to see these invitations leave our studio, but happy to know that they were going to a good home. Sure enough, every time we come across the extras that we made here in the studio, we think of Michelle and Geoff and are reminded how fortunate we are to be able to make beautiful things for wonderful people!

Happy Weekend!

So… you may remember that I booked my family a little beach vacation a couple of weeks ago. Well, we’re off to warmer weather next week! We’ll be visiting Puerto Rico for the very first time and we’re all very excited. Luckily, the wonderful Courtney from Swiss Cottage Designs has agreed to help hold down the fort here next week, along with a few regularly scheduled posts – so you’ll be in great hands! But in the meantime…

Jaymie + Miles’s Calligraphy Gold Foil Wedding Invitations

This beautiful invitation suite from Melissa at Atheneum Creative combines so many of my favorite things: a love of travel, gorgeous calligraphy (in collaboration with the talented Anne Robin), and elegant gold foil! Inspired by the idea of a luggage tag, Melissa designed a keepsake leather tag tied to the invitation suite with twine. Love that idea!

From Melissa: Jaymie and Miles love to travel and it was important to them to keep their shared travel history a focal point of the design in an elegant way. Jaymie also wanted to attach a luggage tag to her wedding invitations without being too clunky. Knowing we wanted to incorporate leather into the invitation suite, we decided to create a leather tag inspired by a traditional luggage tag that could be attached to the invitation with twine. We tested tons of leather stain options to see which one engraved best and printed the invitations and envelopes with gold foil for an overall elegant look.

Urbanic Faves | A High Five

Hey everyone! So glad to be back. I can’t believe it’s been a month already since our last post! Around here at Urbanic Paper Boutique we all work pretty hard each day (as I’m sure the majority of you do). Let’s face it, we all need a high five every now and then to keep the momentum up on projects and our spirits high in the midst of a busy work day. Nothing says team camaraderie like an arms up, solid hand slap. We use them for small things …. Look! I just found the earring that a customer lost in the shop last week – HIGH FIVE!  and for bigger deals … I just entered, received, and tagged 500 rolls of washi tape in 10 minutes – HIGH FIVE! 

Today I’m rounding up some of my favorite things from around the shop and beyond in recognition of this celebratory hand gesture. How many people can you think of right now that could use a dose of encouragement? xo – Audrey
