Ephemera is creating my wedding invites, programs and thank you cards and I couldn’t be more pleased with the results.
I would choose the personal stationary…it’s a luxury that is so nice to have but so hard to spend the money on!
Horray! $300 towards anything at this deluxe letterpress would be awesome!
Fantastic giveaway! I wouldn’t know where to start with a $300 certificate!
I would choose the gift certificate towards some invitations! I love all of their bird and banner sets. So beautiful!
The gift certificate for sure! What a beautiful set though.
A gift certificate to go towards my save the dates… these would be perfect!
I wouldn’t know where to start with the certificate— but I’d give it a try! ![]()
I’d get myself some personal stationary, maybe in the Vintage Flourish pattern. So lovely!
A gift cert I would use towards vintage flourish! Love it!
I LOVE the vintage flourish! These would definitely be my wedding invitations!
I would use the gift certificate to make some custom thank you cards
I’d LOVE the personal stationery. I am a huge emphemera fan!
I would love the $300 certificate! The products are absolutely stunning!
I would choose the certificate and put it towards beautiful Save the Date cards!!
ooh the vinatge flourish would make for a great set of our first staionary together.
Personal stationary would be awesome. It’s a luxury that I haven’t splurged on yet. A $300 gift certificate would also be nice…but I would probably use it on personal stationary anyway…haha.
now that I’m offically married and have changed my name….personalized stationary would be perfect!
Give me the $300! I’d get folding cards in one color with a monogram for me and my man. Our friends wouldn’t know what to do with such nice thank you cards! Yummy!
stationery please! tara did my invites (in the floral whimsy, it really is so cute) and i would love to have some notes made by her. ![]()
Personalized stationery would work great as thank you notes and it would be such a privelege since I wasn’t able to afford letterpress for wedding invitations.
Ode To Letterpress:
Sonnet by an English Teacher on a Budget
If I could have some letterpress today
And tell the story of my love to all,
I would rejoice through fields of green and gray
And do a jig with my old uncle Paul.
But letterpress, it is so expensive
In my budget, it really does not fit.
So if away some letterpress you’ll give
I think I might freak out a little bit.
Oh, to have some letterpress thank you cards,
would be like the sun peaking at the dawn!
Not to be cheesy, but to quote the bard,
that would be the stuff that dreams are made on!
If I should be the lucky one to win
I could stop shopping in the bargain bin.
I would be honored to get the $300 gift certificate. Muah*
300 credit, but only so i can get folding personal stationary! ![]()
I adore Ephemera’s work, so I’d like the $300 gift certificate!
Beautiful! Writing thank-you notes on the letterpress personal stationery would not be a chore!
How nice you can costume make your own. I would love them!!!
I’ve always wanted personalized letterpress stationary. Just couldn’t ever fill up my change jar!!!
I would love the $300 credit. I’m just now thinking about invitations and that would help make these a little more affordable.
$300 gift certificate towards any of their fantastic letterpress items
I would really love the $300 credit to buy thank you cards- such a nice after-the-fact touch. ![]()
I would love personal stationary with my new married monogram!
I think the $300 credit for thank you cards would be great!!

I would love use to $300 credit to make rehearsal dinner invitations, or cards announcing our new address and names!!!

OOH I could totally use $300 for some beautiful save the dates!
I’d take the $300 credit and buy some beautiful thank you notes for sure!
Oooh! How pretty! i really like the Chartreuse Flourish Notes or The Chrysanthemum Invitation Suite.
I love the vintage flourish wedding invitations in hot pink and navy! The $300 credit towards those would definitely be my pick!
oh wow, i would love some beautiful personal stationary!
I heart the “vintage flourish” — I’d take the notecards for sure.
What incredibly beautiful designs.
i am a total stationary whore, can’t get enough!!! i am in love.
Personal stationary! Sounds like I could write a few extra special thank-you’s on that!
Personalized thank-you notes, because my friends are awesome.
Definately personal stationery. Thank you notes are not just for wedding gifts! I write them all year long - after dinner parties, nice weekends away, or any especially thoughtful thing that our friends do for us. I have at least one girlfriend who admits to purposely sending little presents from every exotic location her work takes her to, just for the pleasure of the thank you note. The whole wedding invitation experience has given me an appreciation for really fine paper and printing that I didn’t previously have, and a set of really nice custom cards would not only make me very happy, but also would put a smile on the face of every thank-you-note recipiant!
Oh man, I would LOVE the personalized notecards! O’m so excited about changing my name and getting all new stationary!
I’d love the $300 gift certificate to help make my invitation daydreams a reality.
Definitely personal notecards! I love writing cards and sending people snail mail (Everyone feels more special when they get things in the mail!) Love all of their designs, but especially the floral whimsy.
I love letterpress. I would take the credit and use it for rehearsal dinner invites or thank you cards!
I would love to get personalized note cards- the designs are beautiful.
oh pretty! gift cert. for sure!! probably to use for my overdue std’s…
The thought of personal stationery gets me really excited!
$300 towards their site would be amazing!!! Their products are gorgeous.
I would pick the vintage flourish! I’d do my STD’s and invitations - it’s totally classic.
I would get the $300 gift certificate!!! I need to send out save-the-dates!!!
I would like the personal stationary. I’d write things on it like where I parked my car or where I live or how to say fourteen in spanish. You know, all the important stuff.
Single color letterpress thank you cards. That would be amazing!
I would love the gift certificate..here’s why. I have bookmarked the yummy invites Mrs. Lovebug had made by Tara at Ephemera and would LOVE something so special, unique and fun for my wedding. This would really help me be able to do so.
I would like the gift certificate, please! I like the vintage flourish!
I like the Vintage Flourish stationary or thank you cards.
A customized set of personal stationery with my new last name would be wonderful!
Absolutely, the personal stationary!! I love sending REAL letters!
I haven’t had the luxury of letterpress in my wedding yet, so I’d use the personal stationary as thank you cards! Queen of the Click’s idea is perfect…what a way to introduce my new name!
I’d choose the gift certificate and give it to my best friend to use towards her wedding; I know she’d be so excited!
I haven’t had letterpress at all in the planning of my wedding, but always swoon over how gorgeous it is! I’d either get thank you cards with our new *married* monogram, or personal stationary with our names on it to send to friends!
I really need the gift certificate so that I can have some thank you notes printed! I heart letterpress!
I love the calla lilly invitations and would love to put the $300 gift certificate towards the order.
Floral Whimsy…I love thee. As a history teacher on a budget, I pine, but without said gift certificate, my wishes will never come to fruition!
I would totally get a customized Bridal Shower card/ Thanks you cards for my MOH who is getting married a month and a half before me, as i too am her MOH.
oh man, it would have to be a g.c. towards the invitations, the vintage flourish is drool worthy.
Gift certificate for some gorgeous letterpressed thank you notes!
I’d pick the personal stationary. Gorgeous designs!
I would pick the gift certificate because I like to have flexibility
gift certificate for our thank you notes.
thank YOU for such a great giveaway!
I would choose the gift certificate to put towards an invite suite. Then you could all watch as my head exploded trying to decide which design to use. They’re all so gorgeous!
Oh, I love paper so much! I’d pick the personal stationery. Sooo pretty!
Tough choice. I think I would take the personal stationary, since it’s such an unusual luxury!

I think I’d do the gift certificate, that way if I decide I want the stationary I can have that, but if I want to do invites I can. I love love love letterpress, so anything and everything would be great.
Gift certificate, definitely. That way I can go over all the designs with the future hubby (fiance visa in progress) and we can both decide. Oh, and like everyone else, I adore the Vintage Flourish design - too cute!
I love the Starfish design on either personal stationary or for some cute S.T.D.’s!
$300 towards anythng I like!! They have so many goodies to choose from!
Oh, the $300 gift certificate so I could apply it towards the Vintage Flourish design. I love the rounded edges, the simplicity, the elegance — the love…
definitely the chartreuse flourished invitations! the color matches perfect, and the whimsy of the swirl pattern flows well with our earthy, spring, wedding!
who wouldn’t love personalized stationary???
would be so wonderful to have - as our wedding is right around the corner and we need to send out thank you cards….
I’d choose the personal stationery. Their designs are beautiful!
Wowza! I’d definitely hit up the custom feature, although I also really liked the vingtage look too. My flower will be a magnolia so I think just a simple picture of a magnolia blossom would look a-mazing! These are great. Thanks for the opportunity!
I agree with t-blaz - the custom magnolia would be very nice!!
Stationery — the FI and I will be moving away from all of my best childhood friends after the wedding and I need incentive to keep in touch!
I would love the personal stationary - the letterpress is beautiful ![]()
$300 dollar gift certificate. Then you get the added joy of combing through their lovely goods for what to spend it on!
personal stationary with my soon-to-be new name would be amazing!
what a fantastic giveaway! the $300 gift certificate would be perfect!
The $300 gift card. We’re on the hunt for our own save-the-dates now that we’ve changed our wedding date to August!
how generous! personalized stationary would be really handy.
I’d take the discount, what I really need are thank you cards.
Oh, those are gorgeous and so luscious- yum! I’m planning on DIYing all of my paper products for the wedding, so I would chose personal stationary.
i would pick the gift certificate and use it towards some custom wedding invitations.
I would use the coupon toward custom-designed wedding invites for our Halloween-themed costume party wedding!
The $300 gift certificate! Custom letterpress wedding invites would be so nice…
Everything is soooo pretty….but I think I’d go for the personal stationary!
I hope I win because $300 towards anything at this deluxe letterpress would be awesome and really help our budget.
I would love the personalized stationary. The floral whimsy design is beautiful!
I know otherwise I can’t afford letterpress…so the $300 gift certificate would truly rock.
Definitely this beautiful stationary. What a true object of pure, amazing luxury. It’s almost as if I could smell the fresh ink on it already.
La! The customized set of personal stationery, please! I just spent 30 minutes on your website trying to choose my favorite design. I decided that I like “background flourish-1″ best.
Of course, dogwood-2 is very nice too. I’m moving to Virginia next week and the dogwood is the state flower. Plus, there are three blossoms and I am the youngest of three girls. It would be stationery harmony.
I would be very interested to see what customized design you could conjure up for my last name, which means “son of the road” or “wanderer.” But that’s only if you want a challenge!
I would choose the gift certificate and use it for my invitations. I LOVED Mrs. Lovebug’s invites- so creative and personal. I would really enjoy working with Tara to create my own unique design. Thanks Weddingbee!
I was just looking at this blog this morning and save the Chrysanthemum design because I loved it so much!
I’d love the gift certificate to put towards my invitations… loving letterpress!
The gift certificate for sure! I’m dying for letterpress invites…
I would take the stationary, or use the $300 to make thank you cards.
I would use the $300 for thank you cards. My shower is coming up and I’ve been searching like crazy for adorable letterpress thank you cards!
gift certificate! that would make the invites *almost* within my budget! :D:D:D
I would choose the customized personal set of stationery (i love the floral whimsy, is that only for invites?)
I’d go with the gift certificate. It appears that we’re nearly ready to settle on a wedding date (finally!), so I’ll need to get my ’save the date’ cards going ASAP!
Oh my gosh, the acorn invitation suite would be perfect for our fall wedding!! Although, with the $300 gift certificate my FI could have some say too…I’m all for equality in the wedding decision making process!
P.S. Are you guys ever going to post the winners of the readers’ favorite polyvore/minted board competition?
love the trifold, aubergine calla lily invite!
so pretty!
Gorgeous! I love the idea of personalized stationary or Thank You notes.
I’ve come to the conclusion how wonderful and rare a handwritten note is to receive. In a world of emails and text messages, a handwritten note will surely brighten my day.

I would pick the gift certificate, they have so many beautiful products it’s hard to limit yourself to stationary.
I would use the certificate for stationary for my dear bridesmaids.
Finger’s crossed!

$300 towards anything at this deluxe letterpress would be awesome! I wouldn’t even know where to start… Personal stationary, cards….I’m tired just thinking about it!
I would put the gift certificate toward a lovely invitation suite! I’m enamored with the Vintage Flourish design - I love its versatility! I’m envisioning blush pink and slate gray ink printed in classic font on the pearl white lettra paper for our may ‘09 wedding. oh, the possibilities!
Definitely the certificate so I can buy myself your beautiful thank you cards.
I have already ordered my invitations, but I would take the credit and give it to my very very stressed out best friend who is paying for the wedding herself.
I would have to go with the personalized stationary… so classy, yet so uncommon for people (including me!) to have these days.
Either one would really help us out! The Vintage Flourish design is perfect and very beautiful. The certificate would be awesome!
Oh so many wonderful things to dream about spending a fabulous gift certificate on!!!!
Definitely the personal stationery — with a Chartreuse Flourish-like design!

The credit, for sure. I’m having a hard time convincing myself to spend a lot of the invitations (even though I really, really want beautiful invitations), and such a discount toward something so lovely would make the decision easy ![]()
Ahhh…..the certificate would be lovely. I’m having a hard time choosing one paperie and sticking to it, as I’m sure lots of Brides-2-Be can relate. ![]()
The certificate…….I have to send out STD’s within the next month or so and I havent even found ones I remotely like in my price range! These are great!
I would totally pick the gift certificate! Letterpress save the dates-yea!
I’ve already got all my paper products for the wedding so I would probably get stationary.
I think I would take the gift certificate and put it towards save the dates or invitations. I love Ephemra’s Floral whimsy and Chrysanthamum suites
Just starting to figure out what we are doing…so this would be a great help!
I love the goldfish and the cherry blossoms, they are just beautiful!! *swoon*
I woudl definitely get the personalized set of stationary- I LOVE writing letters on beautiful paper!
If I were the lucky recipient of the $300 gift certificate, our friends and family would be receiving Ephemera’s beautiful Vintage Flourish invitations in chocolate brown and chartreuse!
my bird obsession continues! i love the floral whimsy set with the 2 little birds. so fresh!
I would definitely pick the $300 to anything from Ephemera! Thier work is beautiful.
Soo pretty, I’m just trying to pick save the dates now, and some of these really could be winners!
I would love the gift certificate please! The stationary is beautiful, but with an Indian wedding 50 pieces wouldn’t be the first page of invites ![]()
Yeah! Another chance for personal stationary or a gift card! I have to go with the gift card!
I’d love to have the $300 towards anything from Ephemera. What a great giveaway!
I would take either one because I love letterpress. The invites would definitely be a great budget helper, though. I love the bird #12 and the vintage flourish designs!
I really like the vintage flourish and Icon I and Floral 5

Love their products! So hard to decide. I’d definitely go for the $300 gift certificate.
I would definitely use this for invitations! I love Tara’s work.
I would love the personal stationary–I fell in love with so many- bird 15, pumpkin 1, chess 1, fleur de lis 2, bicycle 1, truck 1, balloon 1, tree 4 (how cute would the balloon be on a baby announcement?)
I heard about sending personalized stationary instead of Thank you cards because it makes it a more personal touch - so it would be like a letter saying thank you. Since I’d like to do this, I would choose the personal stationary. Thanks & Good Luck everyone!
GC for me… I will be in need of thank your cards and personalized stationary will be nice as well!! ![]()
