letterpress wedding invitations
The Debonair invitation perfectly showcases some of my favorite letterpress details! Elegant typography crisply pressed into soft cotton paper, paired with wide pink stripes. The slightly translucent nature of letterpress ink means the paper texture shows through a bit in the pink portions, giving the design a slightly vintage feeling.
…
The Hope wedding invitation is one of the original wedding invitations designs in Banter & Charm’s wedding collection. It was also the first design I offered in letterpress, and it’s been a favorite with brides all along. It’s easy to see why it’s such a popular wedding invitation! Delicate lace paired with sweet script fonts give this invitation a romantic and vintage feel.
The first version is the original design, shown in 2-color letterpress (Powder and Pewter) on 110# Fluorescent White cotton paper.
…
The Sophisticate design was one of my all time favorite invitations to create. I love a unique typographic layout (it’s like solving a puzzle once I find the perfect spot for each portion!), and the soft flourishes give a slightly feminine touch to an otherwise formal wedding invitation suite. Sophisticate is featured with two color letterpress printing and edge painting on double thick cotton paper for a truly luxurious look. It’s an elegant invitation suite is perfect for a formal wedding or black tie event!
…
The Harmony letterpress invitation design is simply stunning in blind letterpress and warm gray ink. The neutral colors in this invitation give it a soft, romantic feel without being too “girly”. The blind letterpress portion (also known as blind impress or deboss) is achieved by pressing an uninked printing plate into the paper. It leaves a subtle impression that begs to be touched.
…
The Besotted invitation design is one of the first designs I offered at Banter & Charm, and it’s still popular today. With good reason – this elegant letterpress wedding invitation features an elegant lace motif in mint green along with formal typography in soft gray letterpress.
…

Lots of gorgeous new wedding invitation designs are coming soon- just in time for the fall wedding season! Full of stunning details like custom hand calligraphy, metallic gold ink, die cut shapes, and double thick colored paper in rich shades of burgundy and navy, these invites are guaranteed to wow your guests.
I’m so excited to be partnering with Nikki of Made by Meer to offer custom hand calligraphy! And it’s not just for envelopes: your names, a monogram, headings, or even the full invitation text is available in calligraphy!
With this collection, I’m also adding a new printing method to the available options: screen printing! Perfect for white ink on colored papers, or shimmery metallic gold ink all at an affordable price point.
I am so excited to share a bit more about how you can customize designs in The Gilded Collection!
Foil stamping is gorgeous! There is no denying that. But it can also be pricey, and we understand that it may not fit your budget. That’s why we created The Gilded Collection! The designs in this collection feature real foil paired with personalized flat printing. This means you can have real foil stamping on your wedding invitations at a more affordable price point than custom foil stamping.
Sounds too good to be true, right? It’s not! The Gilded Collection is a special selection of designs that feature real foil paired with personalized flat printing.
The flat print portion of the design is completely customizeable!
You can change the color of the text and the background. Choose any number of colors from our standard ink color options.
Change the wording, fonts, and text layout. View the font options.
You can even use a photo- perfect for your wedding save the date! Either portrait or landscape orientation works.
For the foil stamping portion, you can choose from gold foil, silver foil, rose gold foil, or copper foil.
However the foil portion cannot be moved and the size and placement cannot change.
The Delicate wedding invitation suite features romantic lace and elegant typography, making for a sweet and formal design. If it looks familiar, that’s because I’ve shared a few other versions of it: first in rose gold foil and then in gold foil. Today, Delicate gets a pop of color in flat printing: I chose a soft blush pink for the lace graphic and pewter for the text.
