Silver & Crimson Wedded Bliss

October 21, 2008 · No Comments

Color combinations are an essential part of planning a wedding. They are the signature that is threaded through every element of your big day. Your chosen colors end up in your floral arrangements, wedding cake, reception decor, bridal party attire, and of course in your invitations. Remember, that of all the components involved in a wedding, your invitations will be the first glimpse that guests have to your affair, and therefore set the tone for the event. Having a winter wedding? Consider our Silver and Crimson Wedded Bliss design:

The House of Papier now offers Letterpress

October 20, 2008 · 2 Comments

I am proud to announce that the House of Papier now offers letterpress printing. Over the last couple of months I have been getting a large number of requests for letterpress invitations. To meet the demand we are finally able to provide this elegant option to your silk box invitation orders. So what exactly is letterpress printing?

Letterpress is the original form of printing, founded by Gutenberg in 1440, using text and images on a plate that are pressed on to paper during the printing process. The “pressing” between the two plates causes the text an design on invitations to be slightly raised.

The amount of set up to create letterpress printing is significant, which is why the cost for this type of printing is higher and why more and more printers do not offer it. However, letterpress adds chic sophistication and elegance to any invitation.

What’s your Identity?

October 2, 2008 · No Comments

Last night I went to a happy hour event promoting Identity, an online magazine for women founded by Susan Vernicek and wanted to share it with all of you. So what is Identity all about? The Identity website explains it best:

Identity is a unique and empowering online magazine that was created not only for the average woman, but for that unique woman within you. We are all individual in our thoughts, interests, beliefs and experiences. Each of us harbors our own fears, doubts, questions and insecurities. That’s why we bring you a positive and safe place to turn for information, inspiration, support, sharing, and “permission” to just be who you are.
