We don’t use the word exquisite that often- but it seems the just-right word to describe this place setting.

Old Rose is romantic and poised, and here it’s a perfect bridge between the modern and the stately Edwardian. Passementerie- tassels adorning dance cards, menus, and programs- has a long history. They hung on drawing room curtains against intricate wallpapers, and they’ve been finishing paper for just as long.

You have to see and touch this floral toile pattern printed on vellum with its soft curved edges- it’s really just stunning. The Old Rose underneath shows through the pattern just the right amount, and the tall clean table numbers in the same stock balance out the decorative detail.

Can we take a moment to appreciate the loveliness of hand-painted tiles? Their old-world charm translates beautifully into an invitation suite. 🍊

A quick little lesson that you didn’t ask for (because they are just so special that we should all know): tin-glazed tile has been painted the same way for centuries. The otherwise reddish clay gets fired once to harden it, then dipped in a tin glaze that dries to a flat, chalky white- a canvas to paint on. Painters work straight onto that surface in intricate patterns with metal oxides- only a few minerals survive the heat, which is where that particular quality of color comes from. Copper gives the greens and turquoises, iron the oranges, antimony the golds, and cobalt the deep classic blue that we associate with these tiles. So much work goes into each individual piece.

This suite featuring a central floral motif was designed with a Tuscan palette for a destination wedding in Italy. The fizz, citrine, and turquoise hued inks sit against Soft Coral and Pistachio, pale colors that give the suite a soft, organic feel.

These Citrine envelopes were printed with our variable data printing- all ready to stamp and send!

Who wants to take in this Arizona sunset with us? 🌵

This artful use of stacked laser cut shapes makes for such an immersive wedding suite- a whole vista built out of layered colors. Burgundy, Fox, and Brown create varied ridge lines stacked against an Amethyst sky. The saguaro cactus in the foreground with its low burgundy sun is such a clever way to add an extra invitation while pulling together the whole scene.

We've used white ink across the entire suite for text that pops against a moody backdrop. What ways have you used color and shape to create depth or story? We'd love if you'd share with us in the comments.

Shown: invitation, details card, reply card, rehearsal dinner card, laser cut saguaro, welcome party circle, printed envelope.

A Grecian-inspired garden wedding in Napa Valley calls for stationery full of florals and curves- and a perfect palette to hold it all. Steel Blue paired with Cream and a richly printed Cobalt liner together create a palette that reads both classical and romantic 🤍

This suite just wouldn't be the same with squared corners on every piece- sometimes the perfect shape is the detail needed to pull it all together. Here we've laser cut our details card into an amphora, curved handles and all. It still does the practical work of laying out accommodations, transportation, and attire, but it also helps to tell the story. The oval RSVP keeps things soft and curved, framed in florals that echo the liner. Oh- and don't you just love all of that white ink? 🤍🤍🤍

A nautical palette doesn't need to be heavy on white-ish or sandy colors. Just take in this by-the-sea coastal suite- can you smell the salty air? 🌊

Azure Blue is clean and calm, airy on its own- and a perfect canvas for deep navy ink. Printed directly onto a #30 vellum gate card in nautical stripes, we have an invitation as light as a gentle sea breeze.

We brought in Cobalt to give the pieces contrast and depth of color. Fair Azure Blue and deep Cobalt make such a stunning pair (look at that white-ink printed envelope!)- and with a few well-placed shells and gracefully curved edges (allll the custom shapes!), the whole suite is as soft as it is formal. 🐚

Shown: invitation, order of events, weekend details card, reply card, outer envelope, printed vellum gate card.

Oh, Opal. From oh-so-soft to opulent, this shimmery off-white shows up in more of our suites than almost any other color- and it hardly ever gets the caption.

So today, it does. Opal takes its cues from whatever it’s paired with- no two suites wear it the same way. Here it is, four ways.

🤍 With Dusty Blue, Taupe, and Dusty Sage, Opal settles all the way down. Calm and muted- a baby shower palette that keeps everything gentle.

🤍 Cipria stripes and a punch of Chartreuse wake it right up, with Jungle keeping the green grounded. Fresh and playful- a garden party bridal shower.

🤍 Against Dusk, with Mid Green and Fern, it turns sweet and charming- airy, fragrant florals with butterflies for a touch of whimsy.

🤍 And with Forest, Chartreuse, and Dusty Rose, it goes formal. The deepest contrast of the four- and the Opal invitation card keeps the spotlight, glowing against the rest.

Do you have a favorite palette that includes Opal? We’d love if you’d share it with us all in the comments.

We talk about a lot of invitation suites around here, but today’s feature is a little bit different- just how can you resist these precious snail prints?! 🐌

Like all of her linocut designs, this sweet little friend was meticulously hand carved and hand pulled by Carrie Groppi- every print a slow labor of love. It leaves a winding starry ribbon of slime trail behind- colored inks layered on colored paper, with the olive and baby blue right at home against the soft green of our Text Weight Pistachio.

This print has already become a favorite among fellow snail enthusiasts- and there’s exactly one place to find it right now. It’s a limited run, sold only through the Marigold Press vending machine inside . The machine grew from Carrie’s belief that beauty should be accessible- so if you happen to be near Nashville, you’ll want to stop by with a pocketful of quarters. Four in, one surprise print out- and since Electric Mixer is Nashville’s one stop party shop, we’re sure the print won’t be the only thing you leave with.

Snails aside, you can check out Carrie’s art prints, greeting cards, tote bags, sun catchers, and seasonal collections at and marigoldpress.org- all made in Nashville, Tennessee ✨
