Trendy Letterpress Wedding Invitation Designs 

Minimalist Modern

The invitation design illustrates black scripted text with white as the overall color. The background looks like a beige marble-effect.

For many, a modern design might mean sleek and sophisticated; however, a minimalist wedding invitation is the new way to achieve a modern look! While the example image shows a black and white design, you can change the letterpress text with a choice of 15 different colors.

Botanical and Floral

The invitation design illustrates a foliage/leaf border with plain and scripted text. In the background there's flowers and an overall purple aesthetic.

For the people devoted to greenery or floral accents, you can effortlessly add a botanical design to your wedding invitation, much like the example image. Uncover floral displays of peonies, tulips, roses, foliage, and more illustrated within our range of wedding supplies. 

Monogram or Crest

There are four different types of stationery in this image all based around a wedding. The invitation with or without a custom photo, the RSVP and an enclosure card. They all have the same black and white designs with shades of brown in the background.

Family legacy is important, and when two families are coming together, a wedding invitation that represents both their separate and joint identity is essential. By adding a monogram or a crest to any of our letterpress wedding invitations, you can convey elegance and the traditional theme to all your guests.

Classic Serif and Timeless

The invitation design illustrates a black double-lined border with classic and scripture text. The back of the invitation is also on show which includes a black border and custom photo. There's a white marble-like effect in the background.

Classic wedding invitations will never go out of style, as we’ll always appreciate an invite template that’s clear to read and sets the foundation for a formal celebration. Whether you’re having a micro wedding or an elaborate soirée, timeless designs help keep your exact wedding theme under wraps, which can lend an element of surprise when the big day arrives. 

Heirloom

The invitation design illustrates monograms, letterpress text and a branch-like icon surrounding the monograms. The background includes an embossed envelope, sprigs and beige materials.

For the vintage brides and grooms to-be out there, this wedding invitation design is for you! According to Everylittlesomethingreviews.com, paper invitations are turning into family heirlooms and being framed. So, while you’re considering what design best suits your wedding, you could also be thinking about how decadent they’d be in the homes of your family members and treasured guests. How cute is that?

Mixed-Media Foil and Letterpress

The invitation design illustrates hibiscus flowers in the top right and bottom left corner. There's real foil and standard text printed on the invitation in shades rose gold and black. The background has a white marble-like effect.

When an introvert meets an extrovert or vice-versa, emotions can be at an all time high while you try and find a balance between each other. Now that the engagement is in the past, it’s time to plan the wedding, and having mixed designs could be the game changer. Real foil can make invitations shimmer, while letterpress brings the text to life. Combining both could be the best way to showcase your individuality and create a stunning wedding invitation!

Vintage and Art Deco

Vintage themes are always popular, but it’s the ‘Art Deco’ era, in particular, that has taken over! This wedding theme goes beyond the traditional vibe with striking geometric elements that bring us back to the 1920s and 1930s. If you’re opting for a symmetrical-styled and streamlined wedding, then this is the wedding invitation for you!

Hand-Illustrated

The invitation design illustrates a clear round border around the text with leaf branches hanging off the top and bottom. In the background there's a beach hat, brown envelope and twigs.

Homemade, hand-painted, or DIY wedding invitations may be on your radar, but have you considered the mess they make and the trial and error you’d go through getting each and every one to match? Well, why not have the artistic element be showcased in a digital way on your wedding invitation?

Bold Typography

The invitation design illustrates large and small texts in shades of pink. In the background there's a range of roses, paper materials, and wedding bands.

To the happy couple that wants to scream and shout with happiness! Bold typography wedding invitations are exactly what you need, as the letterpress design will highlight your names beautifully. 

Moody and Romantic

The invitation design illustrates the border of a coffin with a range of text styles on the inside. There's a transparent floral border around the the invitation. In the background there's different flowers and black leaves. In the bottom right corner there's a pair of pearl earrings.

Break away from the normal wedding themes and discover the dark beauty of gothic elements. Create a cozy, intimate mood using letterpress wedding invites, and carry the theme forward into your wedding with candlelight segments, rich jewel tones, and mysterious décor that guests will remember long after the big day.
