Gold foil and hunter green wedding invitations

These Washington DC wedding invitations perfectly set the tone for Jeannine and Henry’s elegant celebration at the Cosmos Club, one of the city’s most storied venues. The design is a beautiful blend of rich green letterpress and gold foil stamping on thick cotton paper, giving the suite a luxurious and timeless feel. But it’s the thoughtful details—like the vellum folder, custom wax seal, and a stunning envelope liner—that really make this suite shine, making it the perfect choice for a black-tie affair.

The Cosmos Club isn’t your typical DC wedding venue- its old-fashioned charm makes every event there feel refined and exclusive. Jeannine and Henry wanted their guests to feel that from the moment they opened the invitation. The main invitation card features a hand-drawn sketch of the Cosmos Club, beautifully highlighted in gold foil, capturing the elegance and history of the venue. The envelope liner is a unique touch—a reproduction of a John Singer Sargent painting, a nod to the original artwork featured inside the Cosmos Club itself. I especially love how the colors in the painting harmonize with the green and gold palette used throughout the suite.

The invitation suite didn’t stop there—details for the welcome reception at Fitzgerald’s were included on a sophisticated insert card, printed in gold foil on rich hunter green paper. This pop of color added another layer of luxury, tying into the overall theme while setting the stage for the weekend’s festivities.

To complete the look, we used forest green envelopes, matching the letterpress on the invitation and adding a cohesive touch. Everything was enclosed in a delicate vellum folder, topped with a gold wax seal for an added bit of formality and elegance.

Jeannine and Henry used the same venue illustration on custom matchbox favors, and I can think of a better keepsake for such a sophisticated event!
