I spotted these save the dates on flickr and immediatly emailed Kiera Ormut-Fleishman and Jean-Pierre Gary, the amazing designers behind the invites. They were happy to share their hard work and some info on these lovelies.
We wanted to focus on light and airy colors (pink/peach, and gold). We found the process incredibly fun to do ourselves. We designed the package in illustrator, ordered a plate and did the letterpress at a local workshop in Brooklyn. The letterpress took only 2 hours, but the real work was the cutting of the paper and lining of envelopes, as well as addressing and stamps. We hadn’t imagined we would have taken 3 weeks to get that complete once we were done letterpressing. We had 109 invites in total mailed.
Our major mistake was trying to gold edge all the cards with a gold pen marker, as that started to come off right away onto our fingers and table (example here). All of these we couldn’t use because it would just get on our fingers and anyone else’s who would open their envelope.
