The set includes an invite panel with ribbon tie and die cut hang tag, reply set, accommodations card, printed outer envelope, Shabbat dinner invite, Saturday celebration invite as well as the Sunday brunch invite.

Letterpress on Handmade Papers



Invitation set designed by Julia at Paper Jules Design
Handmade paper by Langdell Papers of Vermont.
This set was printed on our C&P instead of the Windmill. Since this is a handmade paper, the ink coverage was definitely more tricky to keep consistent across the panels, but achievable.
