Congratulations on your upcoming wedding, and if
you’re just starting your search for the perfect invita-
tion, then I welcome you to the wonderful world of
wedding invitations, save the dates, and paper details!
I was inspired to create the Wedding Invitation Ideas
lookbook because, well, I love invitations, but also
because I understand how challenging it can be to
find the time during the wedding planning process to
juggle all of the different things that you need to do,
even if those things — like looking for pretty wedding
invitations — can be a lot of fun.
The Wedding Invitation Ideas lookbook serves as a
quick visual reference and resource for couples at
any stage in their wedding invitation search, and I
hope that it will become a helpful addition to your
collection of wedding inspiration.
These past few months have been a wild and won-
derful wedding invitation adventure for me, and I’m
incredibly excited to share over 250 beautiful designs
from some of the top wedding invitation designers
around. Are you ready for your very own invitation
adventure? I know you are!

ephemera serves as inspiration for
wedding invitations that might easily
be mistaken for anything from Wild
West-era posters to library cards,
tickets, and telegrams. Clever, and
perfect for couples who covet the
romance and mystique of a
bygone era.

CURIOUS & CO.’S
CLAREMONTCOLLECTION
a captivating compilation ofready-to-order letterpress wedding invitations
for couples with a sublimesense of style
Wedding Invitation Ideas | 43
W hen you’re on the hunt for the perfect
invitation, you can easily find yourself
feeling overwhelmed by all of the possibilities
available to you. This is why I get so excit-
ed when I come across an invitation line like
Claremont Collection, a letterpress wedding
invitation collection from Curious & Com-
pany, a full-service design studio with a par-
ticular penchant for identity, stationery, web
design … and, with the debut of Claremont
Collection, weddings, too!
When Brooke Forry and her business part-
ners, Terry Baker and Maggie Moore, formed
Curious & Company, Brooke was thrilled to
take the lead on their stationery pursuits. She
quickly channeled her passion for all things
stationery, particularly wedding invitations,
into action, and the group began work on
what would eventually become the Clare-
mont Collection, named after Claremont
Road, the street on which Brooke grew up
and of which she still has many fond child-
hood memories.
Claremont Collection launched with ten
beautiful designs representing a wide range
of styles. You’ll find mid-century modern de-
signs alongside those inspired by the dynam-
ic decades (cont’d on page 44)
SHOWN LEFT: Carolina (top), Stella (middle),
and Samantha (bottom) letterpress wedding
invitations from Curious & Co.’s Claremont Col-
lection.

of the early 20th century, and each design
is presented on the collection’s website in a
very clear and straightforward way. Available
paper colors, envelope and liner colors, and
ink colors are shown beside every invitation,
and you can easily download a PDF of the full
invitation suite and a pricing grid for future
reference, too.
Letterpress printing for Claremont Collection
is by the amazingly talented Colleen Walsh of
Cleanwash Letterpress, who prints all of the
invitation suites, as well as invitation and ink
swatch samples that can be ordered through
the Claremont Collection website.
So, no worries and no feeling overwhelmed,
because the ladies behind Claremont Col-
lection have you covered! By presenting their
growing collection, which will soon include
additional invitation designs and save the
dates, in a way that’s detailed and informative
without being overwhelming, they simplify
the process of ordering custom letterpress
wedding invitations and leave you to the fun
part : deciding which design is the perfect
one for your special day.

Wedding Invitation Ideas | 45
1} If you love letterpress but aren’t sure you can afford it, consider a one color designinstead of something with two or three colors. A one color design can be just as beautiful and you will still get the beautiful texture of letterpress.
2} Another way to cut costs is to have a response post card, which will save you money on both a response envelope AND postage!
3} Always order a few more invitation suites than you think you’ll need. You never know when you might have to add more people to your guest list, or send out another invitation when one gets lost in the mail. It’s also nice to be sure you have a few extra suites to keep as mementos for yourselves and your parents, and printing extras later is always much more costly than ordering them up front.
4} Letterpress is an art form. There is a lot of it out there in the world of weddings, but the quality of the printing often varies. Take a look at samples in person before commit-ting – a little extra money sometimes means a much more high quality product and less headaches throughout the process.
5} Be sure to have a full invitation suite weighed at the post office before you pur-chase your postage. Remember that square invitations always require extra postage, regardless of the weight.
6} Think of your invitations as a beautiful keepsake from the day you’ll begin your
new life together; invest in something that you will be thrilled to look back on years from now, or have framed and on display in your home.
7} If you’re hiring a calligrapher to address your invitations, be sure to check with them ahead of time to see how many extra enve-lopes they require to account for mistakes. You will want to order these from your de-signer up front, as reprinting extras later will always be more expensive. (And have your calligrapher address one or two extras for you with your own name and address, to keep and not mail!)
8} Ordering your invitations about 3.5-4 months before your wedding will ensure plenty of time for design revisions, printing, calligraphy/addressing, stuffing and mailing. It’s best to mail your invitations 6-8 weeks before the big day.
9} If ordering items for the day of your wed-ding (or post-wedding) such as place cards, menus and thank you cards, it is often best to order at the same time as your invitations. This can cut down on additional set-up costs since all items will be able to be print-ed together.
10} Never be afraid to ask for something that you want. If you find an invitation design that you love but you don’t see the ink color you’d like, or you were hoping for a square invitation instead of a rectangle, reach out to the designer and see if they can make some modifications just for you. Chances are, they’ll be happy to!
