Block print wedding invitation


I've talked a lot about wanting custom wedding invitations. It's one of the few areas where I would want to spend money. And yet, given my background in art and design, it also feels like an area where I should go DIY.

I originally had my heart set on letterpress, one thing I can't quite DIY all by my lonesome; however, once I thought about doing block prints instead, everything clicked into place.

How perfect to have original artwork for the invitations! And block prints I can totally do myself.

I've shown a few different block prints here as inspiration!




Of course this last one would have to be two birdies. Love the red breast (heart).

Are these block prints your work or what is the artist's name? I love them. Anyway, you have good taste.

Love the post and the invites. Could use these images on my wedding blog The Sassy Wedding, @ sassywedding.wordpress.com? I'll link back and give you plenty of DIY credit where it is due! They will be featured in a post about block print wedding invites.
