Invitations: Envelopes

Many moons ago it seems, I showed you my save the dates and I mentioned I would be working with the same Etsy seller, Twin Ravens Press, on the invitation suite. I thought you might enjoy this little peek at the envelopes and the letterpress process! (All photos by Kristin and sent to me)

That is simply beautiful! Have you seen the new wedding postage on Zazzle? I just put up a webpage…you personalize your wedding postage with a photo or and/or text. Or, you can choose from a pre-designed wedding stamp.
