Real Wedding: Meredith & Jason

I am so happy to share with you our first real wedding post! We have so much fun working with couples and hearing all about their plans for the big day, but we rarely see the final results (send us your photos ladies!!), so this is a big treat for us and I hope for you as well.

After searching high and low, Meredith decided on this lovely letterpress invitation suite from Smock. The colors and design perfectly set the tone for her and Jason’s big day, which consisted of a beautiful garden ceremony and then dancing under the stars. Their wedding day stationery, which included a program, escort cards, menu and favor card, place cards, and dessert signs were designed by Sweet Paper to coordinate with their invitations.

Love Bites

Break ups suck. Period. No need for an explanation on that one.  Whether you’re the dumper, the dumpee, or the friend thats there to pick up the pieces… sometimes you can’t find the right words to say. That’s why we carry these lovely cards to help you through the pain.

Send some encouraging words to your broken-hearted friend from Bella Muse.
They say we all find our prince charming- until then I suppose one must
burn through a few frogs along the way.

Never underestimate the impact of a handwritten note.
Say goodbye to your ex in style with That Sky Blue. Bon voyage baby.

Be a good friend and let your broken hearted bestie know that you feel her pain with this letterpressed message from The Full Courtney Press.  Then be an even better friend and bring them a pint of ice cream and a bottle of wine to go along with it.

Self address this Dear Hancock card to come right back to you.  After all, you should have known better!  Admit your mistakes and move on to bigger and better things. You can’t erase the past, just make sure you don’t copy and paste it into your future!

When you have hit absolute rock bottom in the barrel of breakup misery, send a little SOS to your sidekick with this card from Mr. Boddington’s Studio. Am I the only one thinking of the Sex in the City episode where Miranda takes the cake out of her trash can to eat it? Save yourself before you go dumpster diving and consume unnecessary calories!

Send this to your ex to let them know how absolutely crazy they are for bailing.
They will never find someone else as fabulous. This Bella Muse card is the new
revenge haircut.. and less expensive.

Once you have tossed all reminders of your ex from your house, marked their number “Do Not Call” in your phone and stopped stalking them on facebook (hopefully you have de-friended them by now) then its time to shout it from the rooftops.
Houston, we have closure!!! by Bella Muse

When you are ready to get back out there, send this to everyone you know and get your date outfit ready. Your friends will be setting you up in no time

When all else fails… remember the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree.

“Have baggage will date” and “It’s your Mother’s fault” by Bella Muse

Dear Lola

I met Sabrena, a total sweetheart, letterpressaholic and the designer and printer behind Dear Lola, at The NotWedding in San Diego. I fell in love with her clean and simple designs and knew we needed to carry her line. A few shorts weeks later and her paper lovelies are gracing the shelves of Sweet Paper. We hope you love her work as much as we do!

all photos vis Dear Lola

Dear Lola believes the art of letterpress shouldn’t be reserved only for those with expendable income. It should be passed across the masses. Cross people’s desks on any given Wednesday. And make people smile when they experience the cottony goodness of the paper with a pretty impression of ink. Sabrena hand prints everything using the finest 100% cotton papers on a 1927 Chandler & Price press that she calls Big Red.
