Invitation Heaven
September 7th, 2006 @ 2:54 pm by Mrs. Lily
Amy and Mary Beth, the duo who comprise Peculiar Pair Press make letterpress invitations that incorporate all of the elements that, in my book, make a spectacular invite: they are elegant, beautifully made, and a hair whimsical. Amy sent me an envelope full of samples (FYI they cost $15, but she didn’t skimp!) and I just had to share some of them with you all.
Here are the samples spread out:
Below are several of my faves:
To be honest, I haven’t exactly done the math on how much these little gems cost just yet, but hopefully the price tag won’t break my bank account if Mr. Lily and I decide to go for them!

i did find out- that whiteaisle.com is doing letterpress invitations too. they look very nice.
Wow that first one is AMAZING!!!
ooo ssoo pretty!! please please do a follow-up post and let us knwo how much and such 
i love Peculiar Pair. and i would have gotten it too, if not for Mr. Daisy’s (and my mom’s) simpler tastes. such gorgeous stuff, it’s insane!
I LOVE their stuff and living in SF, had the chance to meet with them in person. Sadly, my budget would have been stretched to the max. They start at $30 a set.
PPP is awesome! And I’ve worked with Amy and Mary Beth there! If you’re registered at Bloomingdale’s, they offer all registered brides a 10% discount on invites and carry PPP. (Plus a lot of other brands).
I previously worked there — look for Judy Paulen Designs and ask for JACLYN!!
Thanks for all your comments– esp the 10% off tip from Kim!!! I sort of tried to price out the invites at Kate’s and the ones I was looking at seemed like they were less than $30/set… especially since I don’t need ALL the pieces. I’ll keep you all posted if I find out more!
Oops…just to clarify, it’s $30 for CUSTOM invites. I didn’t price out the standard options.

About Me: Here are some things I love?�‚�? painting, drawing, knitting and all other crafty things (including glueing popsicle sticks together); burritos (must be from Arizona); indie/70s rock; whiskey; dogs (if only my tiny apt could support one!); bad TV; and reading. I'm also crazy indecisive so fingers crossed wedding planning doesn't kill me.
WOW! wowowowow! Gorgeous. I love that first one. =o)
