Check out these fun, festive, letterpress save-the-date cards we created for local, Eugene couple, Hillary & Peter for their upcoming wedding at Sweet Cheeks Winery in July! When Hillary met with me at the beginning of this year to discuss her design options, she really fell in love with our new Confetti Thank You Cards, which you can see below, and wanted to do some sort of similar motif for her save-the-dates.
I loved the idea of incorporating the two-color confetti pattern into more stationery, so we changed up the colors just a little bit and came up with these:
Hillary and Peter’s save-the-dates are a double-sided postcard featuring black letterpress ink and gold foil stamping on the front side, and their return address and space for writing their recipients’ addresses in black ink on the reverse side. Hillary chose a fun combination of fonts that to me, look vaguely reminiscent of the elvish writing from Lord of the Rings. These save-the-dates were printed on 100% cotton paper. Check out how shiny the gold foil is below!
I just love how these turned out and can’t wait to continue working with Hillary and Peter on their main invitations!
If you’re interested in working with us on fancy letterpress printing and/or foil stamping for your upcoming wedding (or anything else), get in touch! We’d love to work with you!

Happy Friday, everyone! Check out the awesome, playful, wedding save-the-date postcards that we just finished earlier this afternoon! These cards are roughly an A2-size, but were laser-cut into an Oregon shape, since the couple is getting married in Oregon this summer. I loved the idea of doing a postcard in a unique shape and totally jumped at the chance to work with Sara and Jay on making these a reality!
Sara sent us the adorable photo of her and jay that you see above, and we had them printed on linen paper. That linen paper with the photo was then duplexed onto a custom 100% cotton letterpress paper, and laser-cut into the Oregon shape that you see above. After the laser-cutting was complete, each save-the-date was letterpress printed on an antique, 1912 Chandler & Price Letterpress in our shop in one ink color (a medium forrest green) on the reverse side!
These were designed to be mailed as postcards, so the information we printed is on the left, and Sara and Jay will put their guest’s addresses and stamps on the right side.
Aren’t they just too cool?!? Thanks so much for working with us on these Sara & Jay!

Check out these awesome, letterpress, post card, thank you cards that we just finished for recent newly-weds Destiny & Daniel of Eugene, Oregon! These postcard thank you’s feature a digitally printed photograph from their wedding on a linen paper that we then custom duplexed onto our 100% cotton letterpress paper and then printed their postcard design on the back! Doing this is a fantastic and seamless way to incorporate a photograph into your letterpress printed piece!
These post cards are 6″x4″ and are a perfect way to send a quick wedding thank you without having to order envelopes or use full-priced envelope stamps! I think this would be a lovely idea for a save-the-date, shower invitation, or holiday card as well! We can even foil stamp extra wording on the front along with the photograph, if you’d like!
Check out this close-up of the awesome letterpress impression we were able to create on the back:
Whether your celebration and style are vintage or modern, sending a post card is sure to be a hit! Thanks so much for working with us on these Destiny!!

We’ve had a lot of clients from Australia as of late, and I always love working with our friends from Down Under! They have such a lovely design sense, and all seem to be lovely people to boot! The set of wedding invitations you see above were designed by the client, and printed by us, for Sarah and Adam’s wedding in Brisbane, Australia earlier this spring. The suite featured an A7 size invitation, a 5″ square map/directions card and a 4bar size RSVP postcard, all printed in two ink colors: black and turquoise. These were paired with unprinted light yellow envelopes from Green Paper Company!
I just love the vintage-looking floral motifs and scripty, decorative font that Sarah used throughout the suite! The detail on the map card is pretty phenomenal too!
While we’re located in Oregon, Twin Ravens Press is happy to print and ship anywhere in the world! If you’re looking to have something printed for your upcoming wedding or event, please don’t hesitate to contact us! We’d love to work with you!
Thanks so much again Sarah & Adam! Cheers!

Hi all! I must apologize for my lack of blogging this week, but it’s been crazy – busy around here! To make up for my absence, I want to show you a really special set of wedding invitations that we created last year for a couple in Indiana who had a destination wedding in Florida last April. Let me tell you, this is a post I should have written, literally, about a year ago. The couple I’m going to be writing about, Louise and Dagan, were so awesome and wonderful to work with, and so understanding when situations weren’t ideal, that they have been long overdue for some blogging love. You see, I worked with Louise last year on her fairly extensive set of invitations that you can see in the photo above. The invitation suite included an A6 size invitation, A7 size inner and outer envelopes, An A2 size reply card and coordinating envelope, a custom monogram belly band, 4bar size rehearsal dinner and brunch invitations and a smaller website card. The suite utilized combinations of three different ink colors including chocolate brown and two lovely shades of green. All of the pieces were printed on Crane Lettra Pearl White paper and the invite envelopes were also from Crane. The lovely light green envelopes that Louise chose for her reply card envelopes were from Waste Not Paper Company. Everything went completely as planned with this job, and we were a week away from going to print on it, when I fell hiking and broke my leg last January. I expected Louise to freak out about the sudden, unplanned delay in her printing, but she took everything with stride and was so completely sweet about it to boot. Despite the delays, her invitations were amazing, and I’m so excited to finally be showing them off to you on this blog.
In the photos above you can see what the whole “package” looked like together. Louise and Dagan’s invitation suite came in an A7 size envelope and featured all of the cards I mentioned above tied up with a custom, letterpress monogram belly band. If you have a lot of different pieces in your invitation suite, and aren’t including something like a pocket folder, this is a really nice way to tie everything together (no pun intended) and make it look really nice for your guests when they pull it out of the envelope.
Louise and Dagan’s belly band was a 2″ round medallion featuring their initials in the darker of their two green inks with two little love birds perched on either letter. The medallion had two small holes drilled on either side of the initials so that we could thread a 1/4″ wide, green, double-faced satin ribbon through each one. Each ribbon tied in a small knot behind all of the stationery.
The main piece in Louise and Dagan’s suite was their gorgeous, three-color, A6 size wedding invitation. The invitation featured a classic roman typeface for the majority of the invite text and then a lovely, playful script in green for their names. The motif on the top of the invitation, was one that I’ve used before several times, but that I love very much. It’s a couple of love birds in branches surrounded by clusters of lovely blossoms. Isn’t this invitation gorgeous?!?
Louise and Dagan’s A2 size reply card was also printed in three colors and was designed to match their invitation. It featured a smaller bird-in-branches motif in the top right corner and all of their response options below in a mix of the roman and decorative script fonts we had used on the invitation. For the meal at the reception, Louise had her guests indicate whether they wanted Surf-n-Turf with a cow + lobster icon, or vegetarian, represented by a couple of carrots. I use little animal and vegetable icons for meal choice options on reply cards all of the time, and let me tell you, for some reason they just never get old. I love them!
Loise and Dagan’s reply card envelopes were printed simply with one ink color (the darker green) on a light green envelope from Waste Not Paper Company.
There were also two smaller invitations – one to a rehearsal dinner the night before the wedding and one for a brunch the morning after the wedding, included in Louise and Dagan’s invite suite. Both of these invitations were printed on 4bar size cards in one ink color. The Brunch invite was vertically oriented and printed in the darker green ink and the rehearsal dinner invite was horizontally oriented and printed in the mintier green. Last, but not least, they also included a small, 3.5″x2.5″ card with their website information and two more little birdies in an even darker green ink.
I just love how everything coordinated so well with this suite!
After we completed their invitations, Louise and Dagan hired me again to do some design work and letterpress printing for their actual wedding ceremony and reception. We designed and printed for them a coordinating set of thank you cards, some cute monogram favor tags, table numbers and place cards. Louise’s thank you cards, which you can see in the top photo below, were a 4bar size folded card printed in one ink color that came with matching white envelopes. The thank you’s featured the same script we used throughout the invitation suite and two little flying love birds across the front of the card.
For their favor tags, Louise and Dagan had me print more of the the little monogram medallions we had used for their belly bands, but instead of drilling small holes in the sides, we drilled a single hole in the top of the medallion instead. This allowed Louise to run a tiny 1/8″ wide satin ribbon through each medallion and tie them to her favors.
Their table numbers and place cards were really cute! These weren’t actually letterpress printed, but what we did is took one of the bird designs from the invitation and scaled it up fairly large. We then found coordinating papers that would match their green inks and custom die-cut several little birdies out of the different green papers. Louise used one shade of green for the place cards and the other for her table numbers. She hired a calligrapher to write out the names and numbers on each little card and for the place cards, we drilled holes in the cards so she could hang them from a small tree at the entrance to their reception. Totally cute idea – don’t you think?!?
Lastly, in lieu of a guest book, Louise and Dagan had me print a run of double-sided postcards in their design in green ink. The postcards were left on a table, where you might find an ordinary guest book, and guests were instructed to write their well-wishes on a postcard that would be mailed to Louise and Dagan later on in the upcoming year. I think this is a totally fun idea, not only because it’s more letterpress, but also because then you get wonderfully happy mail from all of the people who attended your wedding throughout the coming year. Very cool idea. Very cool.
So, do you want to see some wedding photos from Louise and Dagan’s big day? I know you do. Louise sent me these a couple of months after the wedding. She was such a beautiful bride! All photos below courtesy of Goode Green Photography in Santa Rosa Beach, Florida.
Aren’t they one of the loveliest couples you’ve ever seen?!? Thanks so much again Louise and Dagan for working with me last year! You two were so wonderful to work with and I hope I get to work with you again at some point in the future. All the best!

If you want a classy and elegant, but not necessarily “traditional” Save-the-Date card for your upcoming wedding, you may want to consider an elegantly designed and letterpress printed Save-the-Date postcard, like the one we created for Jen and BG’s upcoming wedding in April! We finished printing the lovely save-the-dates that you see above a couple of weeks ago, and I’m still really excited about how they turned out! These postcards are printed in a deep, rich, black ink on 100% cotton Duplex Crane Lettra Pearl White Paper. Because the paper is a duplex weight, these cards are super-thick, which allowed for a nice letterpress impression on both sides, without any push-back from one side to the other, and they can also go through the machines at the post office, without getting munched!
These postcards are an A6 size, and feature a gorgeous, super flourish-y text treatment of “April Fools’ Day” on the front and lots of fun flourishes, and a variety of fonts on the backside for all of the necessary Save-the-Date information. Check out some of the photos we took below!
I just love the mix of fun fonts that Jen had us use for the design of these cards! There’s nine different fonts, total, in this design. Using that many fonts is tricky to do well, but I think the design of these turned out just awesome!
Thanks so much for working with us on these Jen and BG! I can’t wait to start designing your wedding invitations! Talk to you soon!

Last night in Tucson, Arizona, a family that we’ve been working with for over two years now, celebrated a wedding anniversary with friends, family and really good food. The couple, Margaret and Richard were celebrating 20 years of marriage and their children, Isabel and Ivan threw them a party at one of their favorite restaurants, and invited friends and family to join in the celebration. If you’ve been reading this blog a long time, you may have seen the invitations that we created for Isabel’s wedding in Madrid, Spain in 2009. If you didn’t, you really ought to check out her invitations here and here, her wedding menus here and photos of her big day and thank you cards here. It was a stunning wedding with an equally gorgeous set of stationery. Like her wedding stationery that we letterpress printed a couple of years prior, Isabel designed the invitations and favor tags for her Mom and Step Dad’s anniversary celebration. You can see the whole suite in the photo above. It included an A7 size invitation with coordinating orange envelope, an A6 size reply postcard and a #10 extra information card that was digitally printed.
As I mentioned above, the anniversary party invitation itself was an A7 size invitation printed on super-thick Crane Lettra Pearl White Duplex paper in one ink color: a unique greenish-grey. For the design, Isabel posterized an image of her mom and step dad laughing and having a good time, and then arranged the text of the invitation around the photo. Generally, photographic images don’t always work well for letterpress printing, but when an image is posterized like this, reducing it to a very textural, but still somewhat photo-realistic image, in black and white, the results of printing it with the letterpress are great!
The invitation envelopes, which you can see below, are an A7 size orange envelope from Green Paper Company. These envelopes had Margaret and Richard’s return address printed on the back flap, also in grey ink with a little wine glass drawing overlapping the flap of the envelope on to the front. Isn’t it cute?!?
The reply postcard is one of my favorite pieces Isabel designed for this suite. It was also printed on Crane Lettra Duplex paper in one ink color, but was double-sided, like a regular postcard. This postcard was an A6 size, measuring 4.5″x6.25″, which allowed for a lot of space for guests to write. The front of the card featured a posterized image, similar to the one on the invitation, but this time of Margaret and Richard’s dog. Pretty cute…
The backside was laid out like a standard postcard with the couple’s address on the right side and all of the information guests needed to fill out on the left. I just love a postcard RSVP, and I think that the cute little paw prints that Isabel used next to the responses were just adorable! You can see a closer view of those in the photo below!
In the photo on the right in the grouping above, you can see the one piece in the suite that was digitally printed (everything else was letterpress). This piece was a letter to Margaret and Richard’s family and friends, from their children, soliciting photos and video clips of the couple so that their kids could put together a video to show at the anniversary party. I think that this is such a sweet idea and I imagine that the video they showed last night was wonderful!
Last, but not least, several months after we finished the invitations, Isabel contacted me again about printing a small set of favor tags for the anniversary party. These tags are a 2″ square size with rounded corners that were printed with the couples photo from the invite, and a fancy, handwriting background. Isabel planned to give small bottles of olive oil away to each of the guests at the party and these tags were to be tied on to the necks of the bottles. Aren’t they awesome?!?
Thanks so much again Isabel for working with us on this project! It’s always a pleasure working with you and your family! All the best!

I get to work with so many awesome couples during the summer months on wedding-related stationery, that I simply don’t have time to feature them all on this blog in the summer. I really love the winter months though, because I can take some time to go back and remind myself of all of the beautiful and fun invitations we created over the summer and show off the ones to you that I didn’t quite get to during those months.
The invitations you see above and below, were one of my favorites to design from early summer 2010! Joyce and Tim of Vancouver, Canada were very fun and had a lot of unique, quirky elements to their wedding that made designing their stationery really fun!
When Joyce first contacted me, she described her upcoming wedding and the stationery she wanted. Her stationery was to incorporate chartreuse and violet inks on a creamy white paper and she liked the idea of mixing typewriter fonts with fonts that looked handwritten. She wanted her stationery to incorporate different flight elements, and we chose paper airplane motifs as well as classic “Airmail” stripes to accomplish this. All of the graphics on these invitations were hand-drawn in a very simplistic style, which I absolutely love. It’s very cute and quirky and fun! As we hammered out ideas, we also decided that printing these invitations with all of the pertinent information as one sheet of paper, would be pretty cool, so we designed these as a long accordion folded invite with four separate panels, each of which was printed double-sided, to maximize the space. Each invitation measures 15.25″x5.75″ unfolded, but folds up to slightly larger than an A2 size card. Letterpress printing something this large on a platen press can be a challenge, but I love the format and think that it’s a great way to fit a lot of information onto not a lot of paper.
In the image on the left above, you can see the two main panels of the exterior side of the invite. The small panel at the top folds over the whole package and has the couple’s return address printed on the flap. The way that this is designed, you could potentially mail them without envelopes. They actually almost look like they are in an envelope, when they’re folded up, even though they are not! Because Joyce wanted them to arrive in great shape for her guests though, she also had a us print some A6 size, deep purple envelopes for them to be mailed in. I do love how the format allows for them to be mailed without envelopes though, and I think this plays into the “airmail” theme in the design really well. The panel below the one with the address on the backside features an area for Joyce to write in her guest’s names (as well as their address, if she had been mailing them without envelopes).
In the image on the right above, you can see the interior side of the small panel as well as the next two main panels to the right of it. The two main panels on the inside were the actual invitation panel (left) and a panel with lift ticket, accommodations and directions information all relevant to the wedding celebration (right). Check out these two center panels closer below!
I just love all of the fun little elements in this design! The hand-drawn paper airplanes and clouds are so joyful and inviting along with the funky typewriter and handwriting-like fonts, and the airmail stripes! I also love Joyce and Tim’s unconventional choices in color. Chartreuse and violet are just awesome together!
Another thing I love about this design is how Joyce gave just enough information in her different informational sections on the right-hand interior panel, without going overboard. Sometimes I think it’s difficult for couples planning a destination wedding to decide what information is absolutely essential for their guests and what information is extraneous. Joyce and Tim did a great job of giving just enough information in their informational section, and then directed guests to their wedding website if they needed more info.
The fourth panel of Joyce & Tim’s wedding invitation was a detachable RSVP postcard. It was also double-sided, and featured all of the important RSVP information on one side (guest’s names, rsvp date, and a place for guests to choose their reception entrée). I love how Joyce let me incorporate little animal and vegetable icons into the design for the entrée choices. They’re too cute!
The backside of this reply card/panel was designed to look like a vintage postcard back. It was divided down the center and featured Joyce & Tim’s address and a place for a postage stamp on the right side and the left side was blank with a little note asking guests to write a message to the couple. I think this is such a cute RSVP idea and I imagine that they were really fun for Joyce and Tim to receive in the mail in the months before their wedding.
Last, but not least, we also designed a set of coordinating thank you cards for this stationery suite, for Joyce and Tim to send out their guests after the wedding. These were also printed in two ink colors: chartreuse and violet, and featured many of the same design elements from the actual invitations, including the airmail stripes, handwriting font, and a chartreuse paper airplane. These cards were an A2 size, folded, and came with coordinating chartreuse envelopes that had Joyce and Tim’s address printed on the back flap in violet. Aren’t they cute!?!
Thanks so much again Joyce & Tim for working with me on your wedding stationery! I really enjoyed it! All the best!

Check out these pretty, single color, traditional, yet tropical, letterpress wedding invitations we created for Florida couple, Lauren and Nicholas, earlier this year! I love how classic, but beautiful this set of wedding invitations is! All pieces in this suite were printed on Crane Lettra Pearl White Paper in one ink color: a lovely, tropical green and came with matching Crane Lettra envelopes. The suite included a letterpress invitation, reception card, inner and outer envelopes and a digitally printed reply postcard (which is not pictured above, but you will see farther down in the post).
Below you can see Lauren and Nicholas’ invitation all by itself. This invitation is a standard A7 size, and was printed in two lovely fonts – a delicate, but not too flourishy script for the majority of the text and a lovely wood-type look-alike font for their names! Lauren provided us with the vintage palm tree image that we used to decorate all of her stationery pieces, and it letterpress printed just beautifully!
For her reply cards, Lauren had several vintage Florida postcards digitally printed with her response information. Twin Ravens Press didn’t do the printing for these, but I thought that the idea to use vintage postcard imagery for a reply postcard was just so cool that I had to show it off to you. The left image of the above grouping is the original postcard, and the version on the right is the new one Lauren created (with the help of an awesome, graphics-savvy friend) for the reply postcards. I think these are super-fun and really set the tone for a sunny, tropical, Florida wedding!
In the above grouping of images, you can see Lauren and Nicholas’ reception card and the back flap of their invite envelopes. The reception card was styled very similarly to their invitation, except that it was smaller and was a horizontal rather than vertical orientation. We used the same palm tree motif, fonts and ink color to tie the whole suite together! On the bottom right you can see the flap of their invitation envelope. It also featured the tropical palm motif and the script font that we’ve been using all along for their return address. I think this suite turned out so lovely and was just perfect for a Florida wedding!
Thanks again Lauren & Nicholas and Congratulations!

The weekend before this past one, a lovely New York City couple that we worked with earlier this summer, celebrated their destination wedding in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. Grace and her now-husband, Mike, had seen this design that we created last year on our website, and they liked it so much, that they wanted to do something similar for their own wedding stationery. Above you can see all of the pieces in Grace and Mike’s stationery suite together. The suite included a 5.5″ square wedding invitation with corresponding envelope, an A2 size reply postcard and a small 3.5″x2″, business card-size website card. Grace’s invitation and reply postcard were printed on Crane Lettra Pearl White 100% cotton Duplex paper and the website was printed on the standard, matching 110 lb. weight. We paired these invitations with a lovely purple euro-flap envelope from Waste Not Paper Company.
I absolutely love the elegant, Japanese wood-cut-inspired, wave design that we created last year and re-used for this design. The waves were printed in a very light grey and the text of the invitation was printed in a lovely violet purple over the top of them. For the invitation text, we used two, fun, modern and playful typefaces. I just love the font we used for their names! It’s called Silverstein, and was a great match up for this design because it’s not a script, but is still decorative, modern, and it pairs nicely with the movement of the wave image. Isn’t this just an awesome design?!?
The large image in the grouping above shows off the lovely impression this design created in the paper when letterpress printed. I just love the way that both the waves and the violet type sink in to the 100% cotton duplex paper! On the top left of this grouping, you can see the back flap of Grace & Mike’s invitation envelope. I love the purple they chose to compliment their violet ink in their design! This purple envelope was a different enough color that we were still able to letterpress print their address on the flap in violet without losing readability. We used the same fonts from the invitation for the envelope, to tie both pieces together nicely.
The photo in the top right of the above grouping shows their website card, all by itself. This card was printed on the standard weight, 110 lb. Crane Lettra paper, and is the same size as a standard business card. In keeping with the ocean theme, we created some cute, whimsical starfish and bubble graphics to decorate this tiny card. They were letterpress printed in the same light grey as the waves, with the website information printed in violet. Creating a separate website card is a nice thing to do in an invitation suite, because it allows you to share your wedding website information with your guests without having to stick your website URL directly on the invite itself. People can also keep these small cards near their computers and use them for a quick reference!
Grace and Mike’s reply card was a postcard, and featured both the wave and starfish/bubble design elements that we used on the other pieces in their suite. The front side featured the waves and a fairly standard response card layout. There’s a reply by date and a line for guests to write their names, followed by choices to accept or regret. Under the “accepts” section Grace listed out all of the events of their wedding for guests to indicate which one(s) they planned to attend, and they could also specify a meal preference for the reception. I love how we were able to get a lot of information on this card, without it seeming too overwhelming or crowded. The back side of the reply postcard was very simple: it featured the same starfish design from the website card and their return address printed in the center. Check out the awesome letterpress impression on this card in the photo below! It’s just gorgeous!
From working with Grace, I can only imagine that her and Mike’s wedding in Mexico two weekends ago was just beautiful! She has such great taste! She and Mike were so much fun to work with! Congratulations Grace & Mike! All the best!

Check out these fun, festive, letterpress save-the-date cards we created for local, Eugene couple, Hillary & Peter for their upcoming wedding at Sweet Cheeks Winery in July! When Hillary met with me at the beginning of this year to discuss her design options, she really fell in love with our new Confetti Thank You Cards, which you can see below, and wanted to do some sort of similar motif for her save-the-dates.
I loved the idea of incorporating the two-color confetti pattern into more stationery, so we changed up the colors just a little bit and came up with these:
Hillary and Peter’s save-the-dates are a double-sided postcard featuring black letterpress ink and gold foil stamping on the front side, and their return address and space for writing their recipients’ addresses in black ink on the reverse side. Hillary chose a fun combination of fonts that to me, look vaguely reminiscent of the elvish writing from Lord of the Rings. These save-the-dates were printed on 100% cotton paper. Check out how shiny the gold foil is below!
I just love how these turned out and can’t wait to continue working with Hillary and Peter on their main invitations!
Aren’t they one of the loveliest couples you’ve ever seen?!? Thanks so much again Louise and Dagan for working with me last year! You two were so wonderful to work with and I hope I get to work with you again at some point in the future. All the best!
