Signature Spotlight: Black and Gold Foil Pressed Wedding Invitations with Calligraphy | Soiree

Signature Spotlight· Wedding Invitations

10 Jan

These black and gold foil pressed wedding invitations feature hand calligraphy on black paper and are enclosed in a vellum envelope. The envelope is topped with a black custom wax seal – the perfect place to add a monogram or tiny illustration to fit your wedding theme.

Upscale details like gold foil and vellum elevate this stationery to a show-stopping suite befitting a black-tie wedding.
With custom hand calligraphy by Made by Meer for the bride and groom’s names and headings on the insert cards. Using a semi-transparent vellum envelope gives a peek at the gorgeous details inside. Then the white ink hand calligraphy on the envelope and monogram wax seal are the perfect finishing touches for the invitation suite.

The RSVP card is foil pressed in gold on white cotton paper. It features modern calligraphy for the heading, and cute meal choice icons so your guests can select an entrée choice for the wedding reception.

In place of a belly band or ribbon, we went with a semi-transparent vellum envelope to hold the pieces of the suite together inside the mailing envelope. A black wax seal with the couple’s wedding monogram holds the vellum envelope closed.

Tying a few pretty bows 🎀⁠ .⁠ I love postin Tying a few pretty bows 🎀⁠

I love posting time-lapse videos - let's be honest, they're more fun to watch! - but they're deceptive. Even though you know the video is sped up, it's hard to tell how much. So I wanted to share one in real time in case you were thinking about assembling your own invitations.⁠
It took me about 1 minute to stack the pieces, wrap the ribbon, and tie 1 bow. I was going a little slower than normal to make it easier to see what was going on, but it still takes time! And if you've never done it before, it will probably take longer.⁠
So if you're tackling any part of your invitation assembly, make sure to give yourself plenty of time! (At least double the amount you think you need is a safe estimate)⁠

Madison said "very very thick paper is a must" for Madison said "very very thick paper is a must" for her wedding stationery, so very very thick is what we did! The invitation was printed on 4-ply museum board, and when you have a piece of paper with edges like that you have to add a little gold edge painting.⁠

It's common to want to cross "stationery" off your It's common to want to cross "stationery" off your wedding to-do list once the invitations are finished, but there is so much more to your wedding paper! Think about all the items you'll need on the big day: table number, escort cards, menus, signs, programs . . .  Let's give them the same attention as your invitation suite so your stationery is flawless from start to finish.⁠
The best time to get started on day of stationery like this? I like to begin about the time you mail your invitations. This lets us finish up the design just in time for your RSVPs to start rolling in, and then you're not rushing around at the last minute to finalize everything!⁠

I can't think of a better way to make your wedding I can't think of a better way to make your wedding invitations stand out in the mail than with hand calligraphy 😍 How often is it that you received a piece of mail with your name handwritten on it? And when the calligraphy is as gorgeous as this work by @madebymeer , the envelope becomes a personalized piece of art!⁠
