Letterpress invitations with deckle edge paper

There’s something undeniably timeless about a wedding at Notre Dame, and when Jordan and Jake set out to create their perfect invitation suite, they wanted something as classic and beautiful as their chosen venue. With French blue letterpress ink and a soft deckle edge finish, this custom suite captures the romance and elegance of their wedding day, offering guests a true glimpse into the festivities to come.

The invitations were printed in letterpress on thick cotton paper, where each piece is hand-finished with deckled edges, adding a subtle texture that feels both elegant and effortless. Printed in a classic serif font in a soft French blue, the invitation text is timeless yet understated, perfectly suited for a wedding at the Basilica of the Sacred Heart at Notre Dame.

To bring a personal touch, Jordan and Jake incorporated a custom illustration of their venue. This beautiful sketch is not only featured on the main invitation but also on a letterpress tag tied to the suite with a delicate blue silk ribbon. It’s these small, thoughtful details that make a lasting impression—like a little keepsake of the wedding day for guests to hold onto.

Jordan and Jake’s suite goes beyond the ceremony. They wanted to welcome their guests to a full weekend experience, and this suite is designed to share every event in style. A custom “Wedding Weekend Events” card, printed on soft blue paper, details each celebration—from the welcome reception to the farewell brunch, each event has its own icon.

Another favorite feature is the scalloped edge insert inviting guests to the welcome reception. The scalloped edges lend a whimsical touch that’s both charming and chic, providing a warm invitation for loved ones to join the pre-wedding festivities.
