I love invitations, note cards, stationary, just pretty paper period. Finding the perfect invitation {letterpress of course} for my wedding was one of my favorite parts of planning. I spent hours pouring through samples. I soon learned that all brands are not created equal. So when I find a great printer, I stick with them.
Wedding Paper Divas {and their suite of companion brands...TinyPrints (love), et al.} are one of the most consistent, quality-driven, über design-centric printers I've come across. I think they have a wonderful selection no matter your person style/taste.
Their wedding invitations are so beautiful, I was excited to hear that they now offer a free coordinating website! There's nothing worse than a poorly coordinated wedding. Everything doesn't have to {and shouldn't} match exactly, but it should blend.
The Divas are offering a free wedding website to go along with over 40 of their most popular wedding invitations. This means that you can now easily create an ad-free personal wedding website complete with online RSVP capabilities and more—and keep it FREE for one year!
Some of the features of the website include:
- coordination with over 40 of Wedding Paper Divas invitation designs
- easy to design, just point and click
- custom domains
- unlimited photos
- music and video
- online RSVP
- blog
- password protection
- guest list manager
- ....and did we mention it's free?
So what are you waiting for?!? You know you're not really engaged until you put up your wedding website ;-)
I LOVE letterpress. There's something about it that just makes you feel special, sophisticated, lady-like. All the attributes you {or most people} want your wedding to exude. Which is why I think that letterpress is the perfect choice for wedding invitations.
The invitation is the first impression your guests will have of your big day; so you want to put on your best face. Gone are the days of the formal, classic {read boring} renderings of letterpress. Now you can find a design that fits any wedding type and style -- from classic/formal to wild and unique.
I recently came across Pistachio Press on-line and fell in love with their designs. Their motifs and font type offerings are wonderfully distinctive. Any of their pre-made designs would make for an instant hit.
And if you are an environmentally conscious bride, you'll love that Pistachio Press is committed to using environmentally conscious studio practices, such as rubber-based inks and biodegradable citrus-based solvents to clean-up. They print on 100% tree-free cotton papers or on recycled papers that contain at least 30% post-consumer waste. Way to be beautifully green.
Today must be the biggest wedding day ever! It doesn't get much better than 10/10/10...the Perfect 10! The NY Times wedding announcement section {the holy grail that all brides aspire to gain access to...and yes I made it!} says it all. I have never seen the list of couples this long! If you missed this special date for your special day, you still can try for 11/11/11 or even 12/12/12! They're not perfect but they are still great anniversary dates {assuming you can wait that long}
