Lynn + Jeremy
Mocha-licious is the word to describe this pale lime and chocolate pocket fold invitation. Just a hint of pale green, a beautiful ivory satin ribbon and a cool script make this a perfect blend of contemporary and traditional.
Jessica + John
Every once in a while we end up with an invitation that carries widespread appeal and once the finished product is hanging on our “wall of fame” we get multiple requests to duplicate it. Jessica and John’s invitation is one such example: they picked out this Anna Griffin ivory floral patterned pocket and used plenty …
Christine + Eric
Play it safe? Not always. Sometimes with invitations you should take a risk: use a palette of citrus green, crisp tangerine and hot fuchsia; print on a bright color instead of white or ivory, and use a modern floral graphic and a non-traditional font. I love this invitation because it incorporates fresh colors into a …
Ashley + Christopher
Winter Wonderland: Ashley and Christopher were planning a winter wedding in Wintersville, Ohio and chose this 5×7 z-card design, a unique design that shows off plenty of the black and gold pattern surrounding the invitation. What makes this invitation different than most is the band wrap on the right panel that houses three 3.5×5 cards: …
Casey + Dustin
This was a last minute wedding we pulled together this week (the wedding is in 10 days!) Since we had a pretty short window to work with, we used yellow topaz metallic card stock off the shelf, a classic white top layer, and then added a cool script and sunflower graphics. We tied it all …
Jennifer + Jon
Purple and silver were HOT in 2011- I can’t count how many weddings we did in this color palette! Jennifer and Jon liked the custom line because it allowed them to choose exactly the perfect shade of purple, pair it with a silver and purple plume pattern to add formality, and finish it with a …
Amanda + Ben
Sometimes simple is the way to go…three layers: chocolate brown, pale gold and a chartreuse accent and fun, contemporary fonts.
Allyson + Ben
This was an extremely meaningful invitation because it was for my very first intern at The Envelope, “Awesome Allyson” from UD. It was only a few months after we opened, and I didn’t even know I needed an intern until Ally convinced me of all the reasons why she should come to work at the …
Stacey + John
Eggplant and taupe are a warm and inviting combination in this colorful yet classic pocket invitation. Lots of metallic layers, including an understated lavender layer and a gorgeous taupe ribbon complete this pocket package perfectly. Their wedding program was a coordinating booklet using the same papers, fonts and colors.
Stephanie + Kyle
Silver. Black. A script with lots of swashes. Double-faced Midori satin ribbon. Add those ingredients together and you have the recipe for an elegant formal wedding invitation. Stephanie chose a silver metallic pocket invitation in a classic 5×7 size for her Hilton Head destination wedding because she wanted to make sure people knew it would …
Ashley + Bryan
This was the era of the 5×7 pocket fold, which is why you see several of them in our gallery, such as Stephanie and Kyle, Amanda and Matt or Jessica and John. This type of folding invitation became the go-to style for a while because brides would see one on display in the shop, love the …
Morgan + Christopher
Morgan was one of those brides who amazed me because she made planning a destination wedding seem like a breeze, on top of all of the other responsibilities she was tackling in her life (not the least of which were the twins she nannied, who accompanied her on several trips to the shop). Morgan liked …
Megan + Greg
The daughter of one of my favorite customers got married to the love of her life, and they made every effort to make sure the invitations (and the wedding) were a perfect example of who they are as a couple, right down to the surprise after-hours hot wing bar that the mother of the bride …
Laurie + David
Laurie and David had fun with the process from the first day… they were planning a Spring wedding in Las Vegas and wanted the invitations to feel formal and elegant, yet still “like Vegas” and not like a traditional wedding invitation because they still wanted to have fun with it. The ceremony took place on …
Heather + Matt
Heather and Matt got married at The Dayton Art Institute in November 2010. Their wedding colors were primarily black and white, with hints of green. To create a Fall Elegance feel, their ceremony featured amazing floral displays lining the aisle that included tall tree branches, clusters of hydrangea and glass votive candles hanging off the …
Ryan + Mike
My good friends got married at Carillon Park and had a glamorous wedding bathed in pink and silver, complete with a swanky lounge area and outdoor chandeliers. They paid attention to all the details and provided an incredible event that left their guests talking about it afterward. Their programs were simple 4×9 white micah cards …
Emily + Brendan
An oldie but goodie, this purple and black 5×5 z-card from a 2008 wedding still hangs on the wall of fame today because a) it’s purple color continues to draw the eye and b) it’s a great example of a different way to combine many pieces of information into one design. The invitation is printed …
Lisa + Matt
Lisa’s 5×7 pocket fold invitation is one of the most popular styles we design for brides, due to its versatile size and overall design that allows up to four cards to be tucked into the pocket. Lisa’s invitation was clean and classic with a more modern twist since we used nearly all Roman fonts- she …
Courtney + Dennis
The Chateau Elan in Atlanta was the perfect setting for Courtney’s “rustic elegance” wedding, and she needed an invitation that fit the feel of the wine cellar where the reception would be held. Courtney also wanted to make sure to include plenty of resort and leisure information about the Chateau for her guests who would …
Maureen + Charles
Maureen’s pink and black invitation was a pocket-style with three enclosure cards. We kept the invitation fairly simple, with a modest monogram watermark screened behind the invitation text. She wanted to use primarily black and white with punches of hot pink for style.
Lyndsay’s Vegas Wedding
I have never been as excited about an invitation as I was to work on this design for a small Las Vegas wedding. The bride-to-be came in knowing she wanted to send invitations in a box with poker chips and dice, so I knew we had to raise the bar- we had to create something …
Sarah + Ben
Something blue
As you may have noticed, we do a lot of pocket-style wedding invitations; the two main reasons they are so popular is that they are highly customizable while also being practical. The pocket provides a neat and tidy place to keep the enclosure cards for the reception, directions and reply, and everything can be done …
Chris + Michael
There was a short period of time in 2007 when I was really tired of Tiffany blue, however I got over it and I couldn’t be more pleased with how this invitation turned out. I really love printing on vibrant colors rather than neutral hues, mostly because I feel like it makes a huge impact. …
Dana + Sean
Beach weddings are the most popular type of destination wedding; Dana exemplified the destination bride with her laid back attitude…from the first day we met Dana, she put the power of creative control into our hands and told us to “just do it.” She had a few ideas of her own that she wanted incorporated …
Christina + Nick
This pocket invitation has become known as the “Christina” because it became a hit almost the instant we designed it for Christina and Nick earlier this year, and at least half a dozen brides since then have seen it and said, “That’s the one.” For Christina, we chose a graphite pocket card, with shades of …
Stephanie + Paul
Sometimes customers bring us ideas they have seen online and ask if we can create something similar…almost always the answer is, “Yes!” Usually it’s a font or graphic that draws their attention, and there was something about the typography of a certain invitation she saw online that really grabbed Stephanie’s attention, so we made sure …
Stephanie + Travis
This was a classic case of a “color matching challenge”- there was a very specific shade of coral that Stephanie was trying to match and we couldn’t seem to find the right color in our custom line so she ended up bringing us 12×12 sheets of scrap-booking paper that we cut and used as her …
Ashley + Sam
This is one of my 2013 favorites. Burlap makes everything cooler, and we paired it with an oatmeal colored PC 100 recycled stock and a darker charcoal accent layer. The fonts and layout idea were inspired by the work of one of our favorite letterpress lines, and it worked beautifully with these colors and textures. …
Stephanie + Matthew
Another destination wedding, woo hoo!! We love the hot and cool colors of the beach, shown here with a seahorse/starfish motif in Tiffany blue and bright coral.
Keren + Jeremy
This beautiful invitation incorporated cherry blossoms into the couple’s purple palette, as well as their names in Hebrew for their Spring wedding outside Washington, D.C.
Sarah + Luke
I never get tired of fuchsia and black together, and this pocket invitation didn’t disappoint. This sparkly invitation was for a spunky bride with a flair for style who “didn’t know what she wanted” but as soon as we pieced it together with her, she knew this was it. A few weeks prior to the …
Allison + Michael
This unique combination incorporated purple and a bright orange pattern, but kept a formal font so as not to downplay the elegance of the occasion.
Michelle + Camdon
A classic black pocket invitation with a monogram seal in hot pink and silver with black ink.
Andrea + Bryan
Concentric overlapping circles in shades of periwinkle, navy, and grey balance well with the traditional script.
Katie + Danny
Simple yet elegant, this invitation in pale gold and blush pink uses a prominent script as the only graphic element, which we used throughout the ensemble as a recognizable element. This soft and feminine set includes a rehearsal dinner invitation, wedding suite, and program.
Becky + Mark
Laura + Edward
Amanda + Alec
A good use of fonts, frames and minor breaks in the text frames makes this invitation pleasing to the eye, while keeping it simple.
Rebecca + Breck
One of the textured papers we carry has a tree bark grain to it, which comes in about half a dozen different colors including this dark chocolate, a lighter birch, and a cool white. This square pocket card invitation boasts a tidy pocket on the back of the invitation, which we tucked Rebecca’s RSVP and …
Kate + Kyle
The pineapple is a well-recognized symbol of Southern hospitality; I learned once during a visit to an old plantation outside of New Orleans, Louisiana that the tradition of leaving a pineapple in a guest’s room during their stay was a polite way of informing them that they had overstayed their welcome, i.e., “Here’s a lovely …
Lyndsey + Richard
This was the year of the out-of-state wedding, and this fabulous letterpress invitation was the introduction to a Fall wedding in Tennessee for Lyndsey and Richard. They chose a 600 gsm Crane lettra stock, a rich purple ink and a fantastic envelope liner to round out the set.
Lars + Laurel
Meghan + Mark
This pink floral pocket invitation was a nice remake on the classic ivory and gold version we have done several times. Meghan still wanted to bring ivory and gold into it, but couldn’t pass up the lovely pink textured pocket.

Kelsey chose one of the contemporary designs from Designer’s Fine Press for her wedding invitation ensemble and we ran with it for some in-house accessories, including her programs, menus, and “newlywed advice cards”.
Aviva + Michael
The credit for this grey on grey, half-tone monogram belongs to Eric, our intern who transplanted to Washington to work with reclaimed wood in early 2014. This was one of his projects while he was with us, and the monogram (which the bride absolutely loved) carried throughout the pieces of this no-fuss, grey and ivory wedding invitation …
Renee + Cameron

Watercolor effects made a BIG comeback in 2014, and this invitation shows off exactly why. The vibrant, hand-painted look of this card immediately makes a statement.
Caitlin + Craig
We saw a lot of coral and persimmon in 2014… Shades of orange, grapefruit, and dahlia were extremely hot, and look good with nearly any color you pair them with. The tailored stripes and traditional font were a crisp combination for this July wedding.
Emily + Rob
This Charleston, South Carolina wedding was full of southern charm and hospitality. The welcome dinner invitations included the iconic pineapple as a watermark, and a tree dripping with Spanish moss.

This one should look familiar… despite it being one of the year’s most sought after designs, this invitation never gets old. This image really shows the depth of the letterpress, and paired with the gold printed patterned envelope liners, this invitation was simply bellissimo.

Jenna had an apple-themed wedding, so we created an original apple illustration to use on everything from the invitations to the place cards and thank you notes.

Sporting Event Wedding
This couple came to me with the vision of having a sports-themed wedding. They wanted us to create an invitation that felt like a ticket to an event, so we developed an invitation, reply card and program to fit the bill.

Rustic Montana Wedding
Ok, so this was pure awesomeness. This was a collaborative effort between myself and Sam, the groom. He found someone to die cut wooden invitations into the shape of Montana, and burn the text into the material. We stepped in to find a pocket that would accommodate the shape and size of the invitation, as …

Laura + Jessica
Everything about this invitation suite was gorgeous. The paper we chose was lightly textured and felt like a letterpress stock (even though we printed these digitally). The graphics were pale green and coral succulents, and the text was all soft shades of grey. These romantic, feminine invitations were one of the last projects our intern …
Kaitlin + Jonathan
I love this invitation. It’s one of the only single layer custom invitations we have ever done that I actually loved every part of. The card stock they chose was a duplex with a dark grey damask pattern on the back, and a lighter grey solid matte on the front where we printed a luxe …
Modern Script Menu
What makes this menu stand out is the large script that bleeds almost all the way to both edges. It was a cool way to let guests know what they were being served, and matched the colors of the wedding as well, serving up a nice compliment to the table settings.
Bridal Party Silhouette Programs
This was one of our more popular designs for wedding programs during Summer and early Fall, and involved the use of bridal party graphics to provide a fun visual break in the text. Of course, we customize the colors of the paper and ink with the bride and groom’s wedding color palette, and could easily …
Jessica + Martin

Still haven’t quite had enough of the chalkboard look…Especially when it involves really fun fonts, like this rehearsal dinner invitation does.
Kelley’s Wedding Program
We keep getting requests for bridal party silhouettes on wedding programs, which is fun because we are able to change up the colors involved, as well as the style of the program. This was a trifold square program on a raw silk ecru card stock, using the bride’s colors of coral, gold and ecru.
Carrie’s Scrabble Shower
This was one of the more fun bridal shower themes I’ve heard of to date. Carrie grew up playing Scrabble, so the ladies who threw her shower thought it only appropriate to go along with her idea for a theme. They were even able to procure a bunch of Scrabble boards from garage sales to use …

This was another of my favorites this year. The invitation was neutral and formal using a palette of black, a tiny bit of ivory, and shades of gold. We used all metallic stocks, which set an extra elegant tone. One thing that was different about this invitation suite is that it included a card that listed the …

For this Captiva Island wedding, we chose one of this year’s hottest colors, a deep coral, paired it with a funky chartreuse kaleidoscope pocket, and used a blocky roman font to create balance in the design. The simple monogram kept the look modern and clean, while adding a personal touch to the outside of the …
Floral pocket program
This little pink and grey floral pocket program was fitting for the garden wedding it accompanied, and the sleeve ended up protecting the programs when it started to rain. They say rain on your wedding day is supposed to be good luck…

Green ribbon across the top ties the invitation and the program together (not literally), while the black and white and funky script makes these invitations crisp and modern.

Caroline and Matt’s program was a delightful compliment to their layered gold and ivory wedding invitation, from the layers of gold and ivory, right down to the moss satin ribbon.

What goes better with a vintage wedding at the Packard Museum than a telegram invitation? Answer: Nothing.

We had a …
Jessie and Joe’s Rehearsal Dinner
Jessie and Joe’s wedding had an orange and silver theme, but Joe’s mom decided to lend a totally different feel to their rehearsal dinner invitation.

Napa Valley here they come! Carrie and Mike’s invitations were from our custom line, Envelopments, and featured a 7×7 square black linen pocket invitation with a wasabi green accent layer, classic white top layer and enclosure cards, and a green satin ribbon. Since this is a destination wedding, they made sure to include plenty of information about Napa Valley, including travel and accommodations info, and they even planned wine tastings for their guests throughout the weekend’s festivities. They chose a simple format for their program, featured here- a 4×9 black linen card with classic white stock mounted on both sides. The ribbon band added texture and color, and provided a beautiful visual break in the design. Cheers!
