I spotted this chic Stripe wedding invitation (shown above) over on Pinterest recently and clicked through to discover the totally crush-worthy Hitched, a collection of stylish, modern wedding invitation suites by Hip Ink. The collection features a dazzling array of designs that will appeal to the design-minded bride, and you’ll find everything artful splashes of watercolor to minimalist geometric and retro-inspired designs among the available suites.

Here are just a few of my favorites:

Today’s invitation crush comes to us from Julie of Duet Letterpress, who designed these darling 2nd birthday party invites for her daughter, Emily. Em loves to color and read, and one of her favorite books just happens to be Harold and the Purple Crayon, which was the inspiration behind these adorable letterpress invitations.

These custom invitations came packaged in little kraft boxes with custom, wraparound mailing labels, and purple “love” stamps were the perfect finishing touch. Inside, wrapped in orchid and lilac twine, were the beet purple and soft, pinkish purple birthday invites and a washi tape-sealed envelope that contained two purple crayons, just what guests would need for a party that included plenty of coloring! A super sweet photo of Em in her second birthday party attire was clipped to the purple package, which was tucked into the purple crinkle paper-filled kraft box.

See some of the purple-hued highlights from Em’s 2nd birthday celebration over on the Duet Letterpress blog. Hint : the cake matches the invitations. Cuteness!

Oh, how I love it when awesome invites pop up in my inbox, and the new Fresh Love wedding invitation collection by Yours is the Earth had me at “hello”. The lovely new collection, which officially launches this month, features fun and, dare I say, juicy invitation suites inspired by nature and made with the earth-and-outdoors-loving bride in mind. I am totally crushing on all of the whimsical details featured throughout the collection, including whimsical illustration, beautiful hand-lettering, and coordinating patterned envelope liners.

Check out some of the invitation eye-candy from the collection (and head on over to Yours is the Earth to see much more):

I let out a giggle of delight (a sure sign of a blossoming invitation crush) the moment I set my eyes upon these wonderfully whimsical wedding invites, designed by Aled Lewis for his July wedding to Abigail and letterpress printed by the always awesome Blush.

What’s not to love about these super sweet invites? Playful bunting waves “hello” as pretty florals cascade down each side of this unique wedding invitation. And one of my favorite elements, a double-decker bus illustration (love it!), scoots across the bottom, letting guests know how they can R.S.V.P. to what was certainly a festive celebration.

As a long time fan of MaeMae Paperie, I am so jazzed about the recent launch of the MaeMae Paperie Wedding Collection, which includes nine different invitation suites, each with their own flavor and style. There is so much crush-worthy paper-gooding going on here that I don’t even know where to begin – the lovely pattern, style evocative of a stylish and sophisticated time gone by, a hint of gold here and there, and custom rubber stamp elements that make me more than a little giddy with glee – as you can see, this collection has got it going on.

Below is a just a hint of the invitation eye candy that you can find over at MaeMae Paperie, and you can get more details about pricing and customization options right here.
