Dauphine Press Save the Date Cards

I love these unique letterpress save the date designs from Dauphine Press. Not only are the letterpress designs gorgeous, but I find the concept of turning the save the date cards into their own little booklets or packages so appealing. What a special touch for guests.

Dauphine Press allows you to customize your save the date cards with any number of options, from fonts and colors to your choice of embellishments like wax seals and ribbons.

Dauphine has also created these cute letterpressed pyramid favor boxes, which would be perfect for mints or chocolates. $15.00 per design for a set of six.

Veer Umbrella Type Collection

I’m hopelessly addicted to fonts, so anytime I visit a site that sells fonts I know how it’s going to go. I initially intend on spending a few minutes checking out new and interesting fonts, and I end up looking around for hours with a list of 100 new fonts added to my wishlist. So, it’s no surprise that this is exactly what happened when I visited Veer’s Type section the other day.

I’m a complete fangirl when it comes to script, calligraphy, and handwriting fonts, and Veer’s Umbrella Type collection has me in full on drool mode. The Umbrella collection is a group of typefaces hand picked by Veer to give larger exposure to fonts created by small foundries and independent designers. I couldn’t just choose two or three to feature, so here’s a whole bunch that would be perfect for wedding and other invitations, graphic design projects, and general font collecting:

Though each of these designs is presented as a wedding invitation, Soolip can customize them to create invitations for any other type of event or special occasion.

Save the Date Cards at Crane & Co.

Crane & Co. Save the Date Cards

More wedding goodies at Crane & Co. This time it’s save the date cards. I love the deep, rich colored backgrounds on the Engraved Espresso (top left) and Engraved Navy Blue (top right) save the date cards. Ultra sophisticated, and the deep colored paper makes such an impact.

The little details can make a big difference. I adore the little “belly band” and tag on the Engraved Taupe save the date cards (bottom left). Great beachy or summery color scheme, too. And the modern flower and vase illustration is standout on the Floral Vase personalized save the date cards (bottom right).
