Albertine Press

Albertine Press designed and printed the most exquisite letterpress invitations for our garden wedding. We had a very small ceremony with just immediate family, so the «invitations» were really just formal announcements of the event (i.e. we knew who was coming). But we wanted them to be special and set the tone for the event, which was rustic yet elegant. I asked for a nature theme and suggested that the text be surrounded by trees, just as we would be in our garden. Shelley (the owner) ran with the idea and drew up the loveliest design — soft sage-​colored trees surrounding charcoal text on cream paper. The paper and printing were of the finest quality, and she had her staff hand-​line lovely envelopes to match. Our guests were all very impressed (my mother said, «I hope the food and drinks are as sumptuous as the invitations!»), and so were we.
