Black Foil Silver Wedding Anniversary Invitation

Black Foil on Silver Paper

How else would you celebrate a silver wedding anniversary, but with a Black Foil Invitation stamped into silver metallic paper? This party was held at the renowned Speke Resort along the northern shore of Lake Victoria, Uganda. We were told that, as it is a tradition, the invitations were hand delivered.

Why a Silver Anniversary for 25 Years of Marriage?

Answer: Tradition! Some traditional gifts for the wedding anniversaries for the first and second year is paper and then cotton. (You’re covered here if you pick up some personal stationery since we mostly print on cotton paper.) The large milestones afterwards are the 10th Year (Tin/Aluminum), 15th Year (Crystal), 20th Year (China), 25th Year (Silver) and the 30th Year (Pearl). For anything afterward, we believe that it should be a vacation to an exotic destination including and a bottomless margarita. Although the 60th anniversary is a Diamond, it was interesting to discover that the 90th anniversary is a stone!

Invitation Personalization

How do you get rich textured invitation like this? Well that’s easy, you get in touch. You can have one of these in a typography design that fits your celebration theme whether it’s a wedding invitation or a corporate event, all we have to do is change the paper, the color of the foil (it comes in hundreds of colors including silver foil, bronze foil, copper foil, gold foil, white foil, blue foil, etc.), and choose the fonts and lay out the type. For paper selection, it can have a shine to it, or it can be a matte finish. The paper can also have a textured background which looks great when letterpressed. The typography can be traditional, poster design, modern slender fonts, the positioning of the type can be at an angle. All that matters is that the invitation expresses your personal taste and style.

Art Deco Pink Foil Wedding Invitations

What could sound more fun and elegant at the same time than a Greek wedding in a gorgeous venue with a California art deco flair? This luxury wedding invitation in pink, white, and black was inspired by the couple’s art deco hotel wedding location, combined with a Greek pattern flair taken from the bride’s Greek heritage. Who can resist a vast expanse of pink foil combined with beautiful black letterpress on thick cotton paper? You certainly could not do so once you saw the additional pink letterpress backer in a coordinating modern pattern in Greek meander style on the reverse side of the invitation. At the same time, tiny pink foil flowers on the invitation and matching pieces give it a delicate touch. Call it Greco-art deco if you will, we just call it a fantastic wedding invitation to go with a fantastic couple! We hope the guests loved the convenience of a luxury accessory sleeve to hold all the pieces together. We loved the texture and feel that only letterpress printing and foil stamping can give to a super thick invitation cardstock in 100% cotton.

Formal Black Damask Wedding Invitation

Formal Black and White Invitation

Who needs an Engraved Invitation when there’s This!

Do you really need to say that this wedding invitation is requesting you to attend a formal event requiring a black tie? If pictures speak a 1,000 words, then surely this is 2,000 words. It’s a finely detailed 220 LB 100% cotton behemoth and it beckons your attendance to the formal event of the season. If you’re looking for that “Hollywood” invitation or one that would have been used by The Great Gatsby, here it is. It has a black paper backer designed with the damask pattern, which is to say that, in case you missed the front, the back if fantastic too! The labels on the these elegant scallop edge luxury mailing envelopes are letterpress printed, leaving enough room for your calligrapher to properly address it to your guests.

Accommodation Cards

The bride and groom thought it best to include a travel set with all the necessary accommodation and travel information cards for the out of town visitor so they could easily carry it with them on their journey. And although we live in the computer age, the wedding website is printed on a separate card, not on the invitation so that even “Miss Manners” would approve of its use.

This set is elegant simplicity. Bright white heavy weight cotton paper with black ink. All made in letterpress printing, although, we doubt anything printed was this nice 400 years ago, unless it was by hand. If you need a formal invitation, consider using this larger size piece and make it simple in black and white. Consider variations like black paper with a white foil stamp and silver paper with a black foil stamp. The point is that if you need formality, use black and white, it’s timeless. Change the size and rearrange it a bit and you can add modern sophistication. It looks great as a 6.75 X 6.75 square too.
