Ahoy Mates!
Lea and Matt wanted a design to reflect their love for Bald Head Island in North Carolina. A sophisticated pirate theme evoking the storied past immediately came to mind. We set our sails and began researching vintage maps and engraved sea imagery. The roiling wave background of this invitation is printed and the foreground is letterpressed using vintage map elements and a rough script. One of our favorites of the summer season!

Sarah and Josh wanted a map to tell the circuitous story of their relationship. Sarah living in Canada and Josh in California, their paths finally joined in Washington, DC. We used elementary school globe colors for the front and chose a fanciful compass rose to anchor the text on the back. Sarah wanted a cut circle invitation and chose bright yellow square envelopes to match the sash of her gown.
