wedding invitations

All the stuff on Ink + Wit is so adorable they make us want to squeal with delight!

Tara Hogan, the brains behind Ink + Wit, is passionate about creating elegant yet simple and organic designs. Her illustrative designs are only enriched by her many years of experience in graphic design and inspired by her practice of yoga. A graduate of Syracuse University’s School of the Visual and Performing Arts, she has worked many years as an in-house graphic designer. And then one day, she suddenly found herself doing a solo show with Ink + Wit, which got the attention of many future clients.

Today, Tara works closely with her clients with positive creative communication. And just look at her designs…so stunning are the wedding paper invitations, the rubber stamps (these would be great for wedding stationery or for use in your wedding décor), and possible wedding favors.

For the Ink + Wit collection of wedding accessories and for more wedding inspiration, visit them online and drop by their Etsy shop. Ink + Wit is stocked worldwide by exclusive retailers. In Australia, they are carried by Pulp Creative Papers and Shelf Life Shop in NSW.

Can wedding invitations be vintage and modern at the same time? “Yes, they can!” says Reginald, the designer behind Sunshine Greeting Cards Co.

These bright and cheerful wedding invitations are so pretty, and are available in digital files you can print yourself or as cards ready for giving away. Some designs can also be printed as magnets, postcards, bookmarks, and even calendar cards. You can have a vintage or modern design, or something in between – any which way, we know they’ll turn out simply adorable.

Sunshine Greeting Cards Co. uses eco-friendly paper from a 100% wind-powered facility. Love that they’re green, too!

Aaah, vintage… Crisp, deep impression printed on thick, juicy card stock—you can’t get any more vintage than that!

Rise and Shine letterpress wedding invitations offer not just fine paper and the utmost attention to detail, but out-of-the-box ideas and non-traditional techniques. Rise and Shine is the perfect way to go if you’re tired of all the glossy and mass-produced wedding invitations out there.

And the story of how it all started for them is quite fascinating. In 2006, Leslie Graham, who graduated from Philadelphia University with a BS in Graphic Design Communications, was given a letterpress birthday card by her sister. She then showed it to Ryan Howell, an Advertising and Public Relations graduate of Rowan University. From there, their adventure began.

They bought a 1912 letterpress machine they found online and operated the business from a studio space in Philadelphia. Eventually, as the company grew, they had to move to a bigger space in Louisiana, Leslie’s hometown. Today, they work with designers, marketers, manufacturers, retailers, ad agencies, and creative people from everywhere.

Here are some of Rise and Shine’s fantastic wedding invitations…

While the letterpress look may not be appropriate for every wedding, it certainly gives that magical touch if you’re looking for chic or authentic vintage wedding invitations. For more wedding inspiration and to view all their products, visit the Rise and Shine website.
