Favor of Love

You want your wedding to be as unique as you are.  Every detail from the flowers to the shoes you wear can be representative of your personality.  You are throwing the party of a lifetime for your friends and family and want them to remember your special day with fondness as well as admiration.  Wedding favors are the parting gift given to your guests, a thank you for being a part of your special day.  According to The Wedding Book, wedding favors are "designed to spread the happy couple's good fortune to their guests."  

Favors can be extravagant as you want them to be!  If you don't want to spend too much on the favors, consider something you can make yourself!  Something personal such as your favorite cookies with recipe cards or even donations in lieu of individual favors are always appropriate.  

What favors have been memorable at weddings you have attended? 

From cookies emblazoned with your monogram as a couple to a tower of boxes filled with each of your favorite candy, It's a Gift by Lisa can help you find the perfect wedding favors!

Letterpress Love

We love letterpress.  From Holiday cards to desktop calendars, there isn’t a form of letterpress that we haven’t fallen for. Because it is time and labor-intensive letterpress has become an art form that surprisingly few people know much about.  Once the most common method of printing, letterpress is a form printing where ink is applied to movable type and then pressed onto a surface to create an imprinted copy.  Due to the specialized nature of letterpress the cost is typically higher than standard printed invitations.  If you have it in your budget to splurge on invitations, the tactile feel of letterpress correspondence is sure to impress your guests whether they are letterpress nuts or neophytes.

If you love the letterpress invitations and save the date cards above, they are available right in our boutique!  Posh Papers can find you the letterpress invitations that fit your style aesthetic and budget.
