Love it! Paperless Post
Over the summer I received a beautiful invitation to a Fourth of July party. I opened the envelope with delight, to find an elegant, textured card with red and blue sunburst designs, all letterpress- and fancy-looking. But this invite didn’t arrive in my mailbox. It arrived in my inbox, from Paperless Post.
If you haven’t already discovered this electronic invitation site, you will soon fall in love. Calling a Paperless Post creation an ‘e-vite’ doesn’t really do it justice. You can choose the paper type, color, design, motif, font, even an envelope liner– just like you would for a traditional engraved invitation, but without the hassle of wrangling mailing addresses. Plus, it’s affordable ($10 for 150 “stamps,” aka invites sent), and very “green.” Here’s a draft of an invite I’m working on for an upcoming book launch event at Georgetown Cupcake in DC. Don’t know if this design will make the final cut… there are just so many options from which to choose!
