Billboard { the BIG debut }

Thursday, April 4th, 2013

Letterpress wedding invitation: Not your average wedding invitation, the 2012 How International Merit Award winning Billboard invitation suite is a playful one-of-a-kind design that will make a BIG impact (literally). This quirky design depicts tongue-and-cheek copy, vibrant colors, a plethora of lively typefaces, and dynamic typesetting that is perfect for your unconventional event. The smart, cheeky invitation is playfully oversized (well, “Jumbo” actually), and each collateral piece is equally clever and fun in its own right. Your guests will have a great time discovering and savoring the witticisms unique to each piece! The Billboard invitation suite is also a perfect option for Bar Mitzvah invitations, Bat Mitzvah invitations, or for custom party invitations with a fun and funky vibe.

Alchemy [great chemistry is all it takes]

Thursday, March 14th, 2013

“If you’re in love and there’s that chemistry, that’s what it’s all about.”
-Sanaa Lathan

Letterpress wedding invitation: The Alchemy invitation suite from our brand new Elum Couture Volume 3 album embodies elegance with an uncluttered sophisticated aesthetic. The neutral textural background, reminiscent of patterns from the Deco era, is quiet in nature and creates a unique juxtaposition when paired with the surprise pops of color used throughout. The brightly colored Edge Painting elevates the Alchemy design to a level that we believe to be, simply stated, stunning. The Alchemy wedding invitation is also extremely well suited for a sophisticated Bar Mitzvah invitation, Bat Mitzvah invitations, or for custom party invitations with a clean ultra modern vibe.
