I’d use the credit for our programs (since we already have invites!) and use the ‘fir announcement’ as a basis for creating it. I love how it folds over and ties and think it would be a unique way to present our ceremony program.
Ohhh.. lovely! I would definitely do something with our monogram and wedding colors to use as Thank You cards for our guests!
I think the sunflower thank you notes are so cute! It would also be awesome to have my new name on it instead of a thank you too. But I love the sunflower design!!
I would use them as thank you notes for our guests! I would love anything related to food, but since I daydream about cupcakes all the time, I would love a custom design set that involves amazing looking cupcakes!!!
My fave is definitely the Sunflower Notes, they would compliment the bright summery feel that I am going for for our wedding.
These are so pretty! I am having such letter press envy! I would LOVE to win this contest. I would pick the Dahlia design
I think I would also use them as Thank You Notes.
I would love a custom design where there were palm leaves in a corner or edges (as if you were looking through the leaves), and “Thank You from *our names*” underneath a couple coconuts or flip flops. Maybe our names ON the coconuts or flip flops.
I’d love thank you notes in the dots & stripes pattern! I LOVE letterpress!
floral whimsy in pale yellow and/or pink would be beautiful.
I would do the floral whimsy with plum and fushia colors. So pretty!
I’d love something simple and modern, or maybe something with a typewriter feel to it?? It would be so hard to decide!
Chrysanthemums are my favorite flowers and I am so excited that I see an invitation suite from Ephemera!! This suite is modern and trendy but also very classic looking! I would love to have those invitations!!
I can’t decide between “floral whimsy” and “dots and stripes”… They are both so beautiful… but then so is everything on this site!
I would love a custom design for our Halloween-y wedding…something with pumpkins would be lovely.
I love the vintage flourish - they would make gorgeous thank you notes.
I’d love to do a ‘completely cutsom’ design. 
Something very rustic in shades of ivories and greens with my venue in mind as inspiration.
I love the cherry blossom set, not just because it’s pink, but for the small detail of the tiny blossom on the envelope flap.
I would love to use them as thank you notes or even better — moving/new house annoucements. We bought these awesome house numbers when the city issued us an address. I’d love to have their simple design recreated on paper. And maybe a simple font below with our names or the rest of the address. Check out our antique house numbers!

Because they go with absolutely nothing but are still funky fun, I dig the Goldfish Notes.
I would do a completely custom design…maybe a combination of the Vintage Flourish and Floral Whimsy. I just got engaged so I would use it for my Save The Dates. I would love to set the tone for the wedding in a most beautiful way with these designs!
I love Floral Whimsy w/ the birds. Beautiful!
I would pick thank you cards I think! The vintage flourish really captures my eye!
Chartreuse Flourish Notes!!! I think… they’re all so beautiful!
I love the Chartreuse Flourish Notes! SO elegant…but still modern!
The Vintage Flourish is beautiful! I’d use it towards invitations! Or save the dates! So many lovely things!
I would totally get the Vintage Flourish invitations! So gorgeous!
Letterpress is way out of our budget… the theme of our wedding is “meant to bee” i would love your bee-1 design it would be soooo perfect!!
I love the Sunflower Notes the best as it goes with our sunflower theme and invites!
OOH! I’m so excited about this one. Remember Mrs. Lovebug’s invitations here???
http://www.weddingbee.com/2008/02/27/our-yummy-invitations-are-here/
I’d LOVE to have a set of notecards that are just one giant image of that swirly pink candy design. (It’s on the top right of the image at the top of this post, btw.) Wouldn’t that make just the cutest shower thank you card? I might get them in a spring green color to match the wedding scheme - or just go with the pink. Either way I’m sure it would be awesome.
I love the Chrysanthemum invitation suite! We’re planning an autumn wedding that we’re funding ourselves, so our budget is tight, but we’re trying to incorporate small, meaningful details. When I moved away from my fiance to attend graduate school, he helped me move into my new place, and we planted Zinnias (which look almost exactly like Chrysanthemums). We jokingly called them our “Love Zinnias” (so cheesy, right?!). The Chrysanthemum invitations would be a great way to bring even more sentimental value into our invitations.
I just love the Floral Whimsey and the Vintage Flourish!! And I would absolutely LOVE some letterpress invites in general.
I would just die to receive this prize! Everything is so gorgeous. I would love to have something like the beautiful, clean, and classy Chartreuse Flourish Notes, but perhaps in navy– my favorite color!
Thanks to wedding bee for another great giveaway!
I love the Vintage Floral design!! I would probably use this for Save the Dates or Thank Yous. They’re all gorgeous!
Since I’m my last name is changing to Saylor, and it goes with the nautical theme… I would definitely have to go with the adorable goldfish notes!!!
I love the classy, but still fun, look of the chartreuse flourish notes!
I would choose the Pretty in Pink notes! They would be such a sweet and classic first stationery set to celebrate my new married name! : )
I really like the Chrysanthemum suite but I do love the goldfish notes!
I would love the vintage flourish thank you notes. They are absolutely divine!
I really like the cherry blossom design… and like their website says, “who says they have to be pink?” I would totally get something done with them but with blue as the flower color. What can I say, I love my sapphire colored stuff
Summer’s on its way–I vote for the beachgrass design!
I love the vintage flourish notes. It would be so cute in our hot pink/navy color scheme.
I’d go with cherry blossom in a pale green!
I’m getting married on Halloween this year and would love something in orange and black. We’re leaning toward more Edward Gorey/Edgar Allen Poe Halloween than cutesy Halloween. And we love books, so we’re thinking a design that highlights the text itself as art would be gorgeous. I love letterpress!
I think I’ve been in love with the Vintage Flourish Design longer than I’ve been engaged! It would be amazing to have these invites.
I am completely enamored with the elegance of the Vintage Flourish… my pick for sure!
I like the tulip 2 design in pink colors! It’s really pretty!
They are all so beautiful! If I had to choose just one… it would be a custom design with either chrysanthemums or poppies, using a plum/deep purple for the color.
I pretty much HAVE to have the goldfish folding notes. I’d add my new last name and make sure to send thank yous to all my maids and my FH’s groomspeople for all they’ve been doing for us for the oh so big day
I love the vintage flourish invitation suite!!
Vintage Flourish!!! It’s so simple yet elegant…words we’re hoping describes our wedding day.
Fiance learned how to use Adobe Illustrator just to design our invitations! He created an elaborate but clean floral design for our invitations. I would love to use it on our RSVP cards! The design is a soft, organic, full-bleed floral design on the left side of the card. We even have cute icons for the foods that we plan on serving! It would look so beautiful printed on letterpress!
I love the iris invitation suite they created! Irises are my favorite flower and will be used a lot in our wedding. Those invites would go perfectly!
Oh my!! I would definitely choose the Chrysanthemum Invitation Suite. I think they’re simply georgous. Although I would choose the black on white or yellow for wedding invites. Stunning…
I love the Chartreuse Flourish Notes but would really love to create something custom, using the Meghan and Mark booklet style invite and turn it into a program for our wedding.
I would love to get some customized Thank You cards that we can use! I love all things letterpress, thanks for the opportunity!
The Vintage Floral is a must have. We have a vintage style wedding, so it’s a perfect fit. I would so love to have letterpress invites. Wow - so glam!
I would love to have customized notes with a silhouette of us and our dog! I think they would be so much fun and a perfect reflection of our little family.
I am in LOVE with the Floral Whimsy Invitation Suite!!! I am going to have to make my own invitations on my computer and couldn’t even imagine having something so beautiful to send to our guests.
Incorporating trees, flowers and birds into our decorations is my vision!!
I would so something whimsical and romantic, definitely in coral and cream. I’d also love to throw in a monogram somewhere! All of their work sems so lovely though, it’s hard to decide! Please pick me!
I would definitely go for a vintage world-fair type look with bold lettering mixed in with some more whimsical fonts and some unique art prints. Something totally different and yet comfortable and nostalgic…
Oh my gosh! Definitely the calla lily …. *swoon*
I love the Dots and Stripes Invitation Suite, so I would do something very much in that modern style with lines and dots in our wedding colors of plum and sage.
I love Background Flourish 1 and Flourish 5. If I won, I would love to incorporate these two into the invitation. Black ink on an ivory/cream paper and then perhaps some silver? I think the flourishes would really set the tone for my formal winter wedding.
I would do a mostly text invite in a calligraphy-type script with a flourish and floral border. And in tiffany and deep ocean blues!
I love the Dahlia invitation suite! It’s simple and perfect. I hope to use dahlias in my centerpieces.
I would have something very gender neutral but still elegant that would say at the top:
“From the Desk of Mr. & Mrs. MightyGroom”
Oh i totally need some THANK YOU cards! Gifts started arriving before i even bought the invites.
How about the cherry blossom design? Or something blue with hydrangea?
I love the goldfish!! That design is SO me!! I always had goldfish growing up. Somehow they seemed to live forever (probably because my mom would replace them when they died and I just never knew any better)!! I have a couple goldfish now, that have been with me since law school. And I even have a little goldfish tatoo on my foot!
oh. my. goodness. I’m in love! Letterpress stationary is always drool-worthy, but these are especially beautiful designs. I love the vintage flourish, but I also love all of the “ornaments” available. I’d do “plane-1″ combined with a modern looking monogram.
my wedding invites were from ephemera - and if im not mistaken, they are pictured here! the ones below the “h”…. they were fantastic and i loved loved loved them. and i’d love some personalized stationery too!!!
I would love to design some custom letterpress invitations! I’m looking for something with a vintage botanical motif, and I think ephemera would be spectacular for this!
I think I’d like something very “me.” Maybe an ocean wave… or cute shoes… or? How will I ever decide?!
oh what a great giveaway! The design would def be something red and frilly.
There are so many! The chrysanthemum one are really fab. I’d probably go for a vintage flourish for personal thank you note stationary.
I have been searching out invites with trees, so this would be the main design on the invite. Our venue is rustic with an outdoor ceremony, so a tree with two birds would be my ideal!
I would love the vintage flourish notes!
I love the look of letter pressed notes.. something in a striking apple green and navy blue maybe, with the flourish design.
I’d love a monogrammed card with my new address (since I’m moving)
I would love to have a vintage farm design. We live on a farm so that would be perfect for us.
I LOVE the Vintage Flourish Notes! and the little birdies
mmm…love the vintage flourish…so elegant!
Seems to be a popular one, i like the vintage flourish notes too!
ooo, i don’t know, something classic since that’s a lot of stationery! I would also love to do my invites with them!
I would have flat cards or stationery printed with a shadow or watermark imprint of the custom monogram that we had designed for our wedding invitations. I think that would look really lovely, and we could use them for any kind of correspondence.
My dream design would incorporate our wedding colors of yellow and grey (or more accurately, “lemon” and “slate”) with a design of lace and stripes — something romantic and modern at the same time.
I love the vintage flourish. Gorgeous!
I love the goldfish note cards. Mostly because I love goldfish
Love love love letterpress! I was so upset when letterpress wasn’t in the budget for our invitations, but I would love to have it for our thank you notes or our post-wedding stationary. We have a bird theme going on at the wedding, so definitely would incorporate a little birdie — and our new initials, of course!
i would use a custom monogram and one of the bird images - hopefully something close to a cardinal, since we have hand-carved cardinal cake toppers courtesy of my dad the birdwatcher.
I would create a custom invitation incorporating our colors along with an aspen tree (we’re getting married in a clearing of an aspen forest in Colorado), and the casual feel of our ceremony and reception. I would love a rich espresso background, with the aspen trunk in white (which they are in nature) and vibrant chartreuse green leaves. There would be a thin white border around the card as well. I picture the white elements being the “non-letterpressed” so they would be raised, and the rest of the card would be pressed in. I’m not even sure if this is realistic, but it’s what I dream about! Here is an image of what I have in mind… http://www.flickr.com/photos/markamberwedding/3484222324/. The information has been changed for privacy.
I absolutely love letterpress but so far it’s been out of our budget (we need about 300 invitations, reception cards, RSVPs, etc.) As for design, since my wonderful fiance is a graphic designer I would definitely go for a custom style so it can reflect his vision. Our invitations to be 2 color (teal and green) and have slightly retro/vintage feel. I’m sure with a $300 gift certificate, we could make letterpress would fit into our budget.
I love the monograms. These would be perfect for our programs or even menus.
I’d pick some type of thank you note. The sunflower and the goldfish are adorable
I Loooove “floral Whimsy”! And letterpress in general– oh how I wish!!!
I would gift this giveaway to my mom who needs some great business cards for her work
I’d do thank you cards light pink & fuschia… similar to the floral whimsy. Beautiful!
Sunflower thank you cards please!
Oooh, love the vintage flourish suite! Would be so fun to pick out a custom liner to match our colors!
I’d love a set of custom stationery with a design similar to the chartreuse flourish notes - except I would choose medium gray and light pink as my two ink colors. It feels oh so slightly french and is my current favorite color combination!
There are so many designs on the website I like… I can’t choose! I would LOVE to get free invitations or Thank You cards. They seem to be one of the hardest decisions for me so far. My colors are Royal Purple, Black, and Silver.
My design would be simple yet elegant with a white background. The image would be a couple of calla lillys with a claddaugh wedding band holding them together. I would outline the design in silver and shade the flower lightly with purple. Maybe a small delicate knot design around the border in purple and black. I just found Letterpress… and now I’m addicted!
The sunflower thank you notes are beautiful! They would be perfect for our yellow and navy backyard wedding theme:-)
We’re eloping, partly to save money, but my heart yearns for letterpress wedding announcements. I’ve been a paper junkie for years and never manage to get out of a stationary store without picking up a $5 letterpress greeting card. The fiancé and I would love a white or cream card with calligraphic flourish details either with a blind press background or a lightish blue/silver. Crossing my fingers that you’ll choose us.
I love the vintage flourish!
I love the acorn invitation suite. Perfect for my october wedding!
love the letterpress Floral Whimsy. So pretty!
I love the Vintage flourish for our invites.
I love the dots & stripes invitation suite and would use the credit towards that!
I love the sunflower design! Our wedding is going to have sunflower elements. I would love to have the text be navy blue to incorporate the blue side of our yellow and blue colors!
our wedding theme are violets aftera poem called sonnet. i woild have a ton of black swirlys with a violet in the center with our monogram in thecenter.
I think the vintage flourish notes are so lovely (we are using flourishes on our invites and menus) so I would love to have thank you notes that incorporated the look possible using blues and grays.
I would have a cute little hedgehog on them!
Something romantic and floral in a muted pastel. The hydrangea goes perfectly with the feel of our wedding.
I would love some custom designed personal stationary. I’m a huge train dork, so having note cards personalized with little their trains puffing along the bottom would be so amazing!
I LOVE the vintage floral design. These would go well with my damask wedding….
The dahlia suite is gorgeous! And the vintage flourish design tempts me as well (our theme is “vintage garden”…) I would love to use this either for our programs or for my “married stationery” for writing thank you notes and such after the big day comes.
I love the vintage flourish design - beautiful!!! Of course I’m sold as well b/c the sample invitation uses first name 
I love the vintage flourish design!
It is so beautiful and I LOVE LOVE LOVE letterpress!
I just live the vintage flourish suite. I would kill for letterpress invitations!!!
I love the Vintage Flourish note cards! I am one of those girls that writes her soon to be name over and over again when I’m sitting in meetings…. I clearly need to feed this obsession more with some personalized stationary!
I like how bold the Dahlia invitation suite looks in letterpress!
Love the look of the purple iris or the dahlia.
I think a branch of moth orchids in a similar style would be beautiful.
I would get a custom set of notecards for thank yous or other notes, and I’d want an awesome letterpress rendering of the Mirthmobile from Wayne’s World — you know, the hatchback car with flames down the side. Akin to the goldfish sample in the gallery.
I love clean, classic elegance. I would have on a soft white or champagne flat card with deckled edges in a two color design of black and sage (sage for names only). I would use the Elegant print because I think it is so beautiful. 5 x 7 landscape orientation with left justified print. I would have towards the right side of the card, starting about two inches below the top margin, a sage green bouquet of hydrangeas (outlined petals, not filled in, as like flower examples provided in gallery).
cally lilly .. a flower that will have symbolic significance on our day! so perfect!
So many to choose from!!! I like the peony, the crowns, the fancy monograms! Everything
I like the dots and stripes set on the website… I’d probably go for something similar to that with different colors (wedding colors) and use those as our personal stationary and for thank you cards after the wedding.
It’s too hard to pick one of these lovelies, but I’d go with custom design… in midnight blue and dark red.
I love the Cherry Blossom!!
Sigh! Beautiful, colourful, elegant invitations! We are getting married in the swiss alps and since there seem to be so many designs for weddings by beaches but so few for mountains and lakes, I would love to send invitations reflecting the beautiful landscape (which looks a little like the orcas island pictures on the blog - green, trees, lakes and plenty of fresh air!).
love the dahlia invitation suite, i would use the credit towards invitations for my wedding similar to this.
i love the simplicity of the pretty in pink note!
I would love to do something in black, white and red. A little modern and a little vintage. Perhaps some fantastic flourishes and a bit of damask, with our silhouette right on top.
I heart the goldfish notes, but the vintage flourish really fits our theme to a tee. Thanks for the contest.
I do have to say, that I like the vintage flourish
I live the cherry blossom. This time of year makes me want to be in DC surrounded by the blooming cherry blossoms.
I’m in love with old vintage styled cards, with a Monogram/flourish. I would love to use the $300 credit to have personalized stationary made for the future Mr. and myself to send “from the desk of” notes to people! Who doesn’t love to get a note in the mail that looks lovely these days!
I would have personalized stationary made in something similar to the Vintage Flourish design!
The vintage flourish design is really pretty - I would probably want something using that design.
I like the vintage flourish!
I think the goldfish would be a lot of fun to have on a calling card. The big buggy eyes makes him look super aware and cute.
If I were choosing among existing designs I would definitely love some stationary in the vintage flourish design! However, if the option is available, I would put the $300 towards a completely custom wedding invitation suite - - with a little extra cash I might just be able to afford an amazing set of save-the-dates, invitations, reply cards, direction tabs, and even an invitation to the rehearsal dinner for family and close friends! What an awesome offer! {!!please, pick me!!}
2 words: vintage flourish! So adorable! Although it would be so nice to be able to put that toward a custom invite too. I’m torn…
This would be great, as I’ve been browsing invites online for a long time, and I can’t find anything that’s just right for us. I want something deep and fiery, dark red and orange.
The Floral Whimsy designs are absolutely gorgeous!!
Ooh, this is simply delightful! So many cute designs to choose from. I’m getting married next summer and I’m thinking sunshine yellow for our save the dates and invites! I
The vintage flourish is so pretty…I want something like that…simple and elegant. I would love to win this prize…
I like the cherry blossom

Vintage flourish is just our style! I LOVE IT for invites!
The sunflower is so simple but striking. Like sending happiness on a piece of paper.
I like floral whimsy and chartreuse flourish. I would love to use them for my thank you notes. I would do a white card with midnight blue monogram and some decorative florishes. Something classic that my finace could feel comfortable using too. He is going to do his share of Thank yous!
I love the flourishes and the quirky type/candy invites!!
The sunflower cards make such amazing thank you notes! I am getting married in the summer of 2010 and these would be the perfect post-nuptials note cards for all the people who make our wedding extra special!
I love the Vintage Flourish!!!!
Wow, what a generous giveaway! I would love to win. Ephemera has such beautiful letterpress!
I would settle for the gift card, but if I had to design something I would design a starfish/beachy themed invitation with our colors, seafoam, white, and beige.
OOh I love everything in vintage flourish, this would make such pretty note or thank you cards!
How could I ever decide? I loved basically all of the Ornaments… Maybe some simple, beautiful cards with the bird with the flourish behind it… or the dahlia… or even the strawberry (we have a subtle strawberry theme for our wedding!)
