Enter the House of Vapirre
Gothic mysticism goes minimal in our new design, House of Vapirre
House of Vapirre Invitation by Royal Steamline
Steeped in mystery (and with no small flair for the dramatic), House of Vapirre complements a cloudless garden party as much as a moonlit ceremony in a lacquered manor library.
A design inspired by the 1870s as much as the 1970s, House of Vapirre includes a variety of paper options.
Want a custom shadow color? Just name it! We’d be happy to oblige. See the Enclosure and the RSVP!
That’s right! Continuing our Bookplate Series, here are four new invitations inspired by some of our favorite women writers! (Originally, it was just going to be a Southern Gothic trio — but we couldn’t help but add one more!)
Harper Invitation by Royal Steamline
Willa Invitation by Royal Steamline
Carson Invitation by Royal Steamline
Eudora Invitation by Royal Steamline
As always, we combined and re-combined elements to create new interpretations. Eudora took a slight Gothic turn (but have you ever read “A Worn Path?”) and Willa’s Midwestern earthiness could even be seen as a touch steampunk-y. It keeps things fun, you know?

Double Negative
Black on white just too black? How about white on black?
Million Dollar Trooper – now in “Black on White”
(By the way, this isn’t unusual. If you like a design, but would *love* it in another color, just let us know. Chances are, we can make you happy!)

For the 20th Century Fox

The front of the Invitation.
Silver Screen is just the thing for glamorous couples planning an elegant affair. Perhaps something with a 1930s or 40s theme? See the whole suite here!

Pulp Non-Fiction

Pulp Romance 1936 (shown in Hint of Mint)

Moon Rock Invitation in Frosting Pink

Announcing Trimalchio!
Named after a legendary bon vivant, Trimalchio was also the working title for Fitzgerald’s Gatsby. And it’s that glittering era that Trimalchio evokes: a playful typeface is nonchalantly framed against a unique wallpaper print (intricately comprised of paintings of famous 1920s and 30s gowns). Available in two styles, “High Tea”
and “Cocktail Hour”

Vintage / Modern, RS Style
By now, the term “Vintage Modern” has become something of a punchline in the wedding community. However, we feel it actually fits our new series of invitations: 303, 505, 707, 808 and 909. Alternately evoking Bauhaus angularity and early 1980s album covers, this new series looks equally at home in warm meadows and cool, marbled halls.
Be sure to click on the images to see the full suites for each style!
…and here’s a bit of musical accompaniment for this series. (We listened to this album a lot while designing these styles!) Enjoy!

Sunday in Caligo
Today we introduce a new invitation design that we’re very excited about: Sunday in Caligo
Like storm clouds surrounding a rainbow, Sunday in Caligo manages to be both dark and bright at the same time.
With Sunday in Caligo, you have the option of including a passage of text, quote or poem on the reverse of the invitation. In the example above, we created a passage that is an homage to the opening soliloquies of the original Dark Shadows episodes (that partially inspired the look of this design). See the whole suite here!

The Elegance of Chiffon
Just wanted to spread the word about our new invitation design that pays homage to an era of soft glamour, an age filled with Living Strings, evening gloves and Chiffon:
Recalling old Hollywood and the fashion salons of Paris circa ’51, Chiffon is perfect for those couples searching for early Mid-Century cool.
And we just have to say that this design would look just grand on our 120lb iridescent pearl linen paper! See the whole suite here.
