entry #13: our SYNTHESIS invitation inspiration
Our unique Synthesis wedding invitation is cool and clean in composition with a look that will wow your guests with what’s to come. This ultra modern letterpress wedding invitation fuses geometry and perspective together to create an illusion of depth through the use of color and pattern. The effect is both masculine in its form and feminine in its color wash, a perfect choice for the couple looking for something a little different and unexpected in a wedding invitation. Letterpress printed in 2 colors on 100% cotton rag paper, this design can be customized to suit your own color preferences and may be paired with optional Envelopments® enclosures and envelopes available in a wide array of colors and finishes. The Synthesis wedding invitation would also be a wonderful choice for Bar Mitzvah invitations, Bat Mitzvah invitations, or for custom party invitations with an uncluttered modern flair.

What beautiful work you are doing. It’s good to know letterpress is alive and thriving in San Diego. Brings back great memories of setting metal type and printing on a small platen press in my college design classes, John and Marilyn Neuhart’s Pipsqueak Press in the 1960′s and later the work done by Brighton Press here in SD. As a “senior” graphic designer with a deep love for typography I commend you for keeping this craft kicking and wish you continued success.
Such a fabulous contemporary design on this invitation suite! Love it!
