A Cheerful, Teal + Orange Wedding Suite
This colorful, custom wedding suite for Jacob & Kathryn, designed by Liz Dalay, is simply happy. The teal blue and orange color palette adds to the festive feel of every single piece in this cheerful suite, from the save the dates, which feature a photo of the lovely couple, to the z-fold wedding invitations, adorned with custom silhouette graphics of the two lovebirds.
Liz has every little detail covered, from the multi-layered wedding ceremony details piece (love the heart-shaped brad that keeps all of the layers in place!) to the favor tags to fun typography that features in every piece. -via French Paper

Lachlan + Elizabeth’s Modern Typography Invitations
Oh, Bespoke Press, you’ve done it again. This letterpress wedding invitation suite, designed for Lachlan and Elizabeth’s special day, exudes elegance and sophistication. The couple chose a strong, typographic design with much white space, which gives the suite a beautiful, airy quality, and the thin, slab-serif typeface is a perfect choice for letterpress printing. Just look at the fantastic texture created by the impression.
This lovely suite included invitations, gift cards, picnic cards, and reply cards and was printed on 100% cotton ivory paper with warm, summer-y pink ink.

Modern Black + White Wedding Invitations
I am always in the mood for some black and white wedding invitation love, and I’m utterly and completely crushing on this beautiful wedding invite suite by The Goodness. Morgan and Mike wanted a design that was classic and modern for their celebration at The Citizen Hotel, and Lisa and Geoff of The Goodness more than delivered.
The pieces in the beautiful black and white wedding suite feature a fantastic crosshatch pattern, echoed in each piece, which gives a great depth and texture to the design. A chic “date dot” and classic typography complete this undeniably stylish paper ensemble. – via pin

Preppy, Kate Spade-Inspired Save the Dates
I was so excited to hear from Courtney, editor of the fantabulously inspiring party and entertaining blog, Pizzazzerie, who shared her oh so chic, Kate Spade-inspired photo save the dates, designed by Kate of Custom Paper Works. These black, white, and kelly green beauties, which feature a photo of the lovely couple on the reverse, are rockin’ my invitation world!
Here’s what Courtney has to say about this stylish project:
As a full-time blogger on all things entertaining + parties, I knew I wanted my wedding theme to be a bit whimsical and fun. I have chosen a Kate Spade-inspired black and white striped design with touches of kelly green for my wedding. After working with Kate of Custom Paper Works on a New Years Eve styled shoot last year, I knew she was the right person to design my save-the-dates. I told her that black + white stripes were a must, as well as including a photo from my engagement shoot with Kate Whitmore Photography. I wanted them to be stylish, whimsical, and luxe all at the same time. Kate delivered beyond my expectations.
The envelope was a Stardream shimmer paper in green which opened to a darling black and white striped envelope liner. The striped envelope liner was my absolute favorite element. The return address on the envelope even incorporated a small guitar motif as a nod to our home town of Nashville, TN. A shimmer black paper held our engagement photo on one side and details on the other. Details were printed in a whimsical frame and foil-stamped on the card. Several complimentary fonts were used that I just adore.
Congratulations, Courtney and Chris!

Stitched Watercolor Birthday Party Invites
It was crush at first sight when I spotted these lovely, custom 4th birthday party invites over on Pinterest recently. The fun and colorful watercolor invitations were designed by Danyelle of Dandee Designs for Audrey, who also helped out by hand painting over the “Let’s Dance” type on the invites to create a unique spectrum of pinks, yellows, and oranges on each individual invite. Sewn, yellow details help break up the text and add an air of whimsy to this wonderfully original design.

Aww, these custom baby announcements by Luscious Verde are so adorable. The precious design features a soft pink and brown color palette, sweet type, and a custom cut paper mobile with lots of baby goodies – a stuffed elephant and teddy bear, butterfly, heart, and baby carriage. A rhinestone anchors the top of the mobile and adds dimension to the announcement, and the thank you note and return address labels feature coordinating heart graphics.

Romantic Story Wedding Invitations
Today’s invitation crush is utterly romantic, totally sweet, and filled with lovely chemistry. The Story wedding invitation suite by Anticipate Invitations blends classic floral pattern in a rose and white color palette with do-it-yourself details for a look that’s a little bit Victorian with clever, modern style.
From Anticipate : True romantics at heart, Catherine and Thomas used lush peonies and lace cutouts throughout their wedding design. Tea cups filled with gumdrops held each guest’s name and seating assignment. Menus with scalloped borders were paired with table number vases wrapped in pressed velvet. Vials filled with cinnamon hearts—and a label announcing that ‘Love is Intoxicating’—were given as favors.
Above (right) : The awesome velvet table numbers were created using custom number rubber stamps overlaid with strips of velvet (velvet side facing the stamp). Lightly spray the back of the velvet with water, and use an iron on medium for about 10 seconds to crush the velvet. This technique works best with larger numbers, but Michael from Anticipate Invitations had success with type as small as 14pt.
