Nautical Invitations

I am looking for something simple, maybe just an embossed sailboat on the top or something? Does anyone have any suggestions - I feel like I have been on every invitation website there is!
Thanks!!!!

I saw that second website - I love those! They are too expensive for me though - I have to send out 250 and I think they are almost $5 per invitation.

Re: Nautical Invitations

Maybe you can get the ones you print yourself and then get an embosser or a stamp?

Cluelessbride's hotel cards had this great hydrangea stamp that looked totally excellent (you could not tell she did it herself) ...

PSA Essentials has favors, invitations, and other items with a sailboat logo. I haven't posted a web link before - let me see if this works:

Re: Nautical Invitations

I just posted about this on the 05 board since I want a lighthouse on my invite but not in color or overdone like the ones I have found. Just a simple lighthouse embossed either on the top or bottom. I would have to custom make the embosser myself but if you wanted a boat there is a really cute one at www.wgpress.com- go to embossers and click on the first image to see their stock embossers. It was really cute.

Oh, if you did this option you could make your own with heavy card stock or even have them printed and then just emboss them. It would save tons of money on 250 invites!

Re: Nautical Invitations

I like the first one from Marsville Letterpress. Really pretty. Maybe you can take that design to a bunch of companies to see if they have something similar for cheaper or try to make it yourself using Stationery programs.

Oh my, I am in love with these. I have been looking everywhere for compass invites and haven't found anything that comes close to this. We wanted a compass to be our main motif at the wedding. Thanks so much for finding this, Christian!!

Re: Nautical Invitations

I can't wait to contact them and find out more info. I guess I will be doing it from email initially - they are based in Australia! Hello long distance bill!
