***This giveaway is no longer accepting entries***
When the folks from Two Paperdolls contacted us a couple of months ago about doing a giveaway (like they’d recently done on one of our favorite wedding sites) we knew it would be the perfect Wedding Week prize for you guys. Two Paperdolls – who are on the brink of launching a new e-commerce website with a whole new look – along with their sister site Louella Press are dishing out over $1000 worth of custom letterpress wedding (or party!) invitations. Amazing, eh? So all of you brides-to-be (or anyone else who just wants to throw a party) can cross one thing off of your to-do list.
If you don’t currently fall into the “engaged” category, go tell your nearest wife-to-be, mother-of-the-bride, or anyone else who is ready to give a killer engagement present about this fab little freebie. Or you yourself can use the prize for any other event or announcement that you’ve got around the corner (birthday party? baby shower? anniversary party? just-won-amazing-free-invitations party?). Louella Press designs gorgeous classic-yet-fresh invitation sets that are pretty much guaranteed to make an incredible first impression to any guest who is lucky enough to receive ’em.
We’ve chosen a few of our favorites here, but be sure to click over to Louella’s site to browse the full collection. Just note that these images show engraved invitations (raised ink) but the winner will be receiving equally-beautiful letterpress invite sets (which each include an invitation, envelope, rsvp card, and rsvp envelope). And if your event or announcement doesn’t need the RSVP card and envelope, feel free to convert it to a thank you card and envelope instead. Oh, and you’ll all be receiving an exclusive YHL discount on Thursday so stay tuned…
Here are this week’s full details:
- PRIZE: 50 single-color letterpress invitation sets (including 50 invitations, envelopes, rsvp cards, and rsvp envelopes) on your choice of either fluorescent white or pearl 110 pound paper, courtesy of Two Paperdolls and Louella Press
- TO ENTER: Comment on this post with the words “INVITE ME!” and…
- BONUS QUESTION: … since we’re talking invitations and guest lists, tell us whether you prefer a large family-and-friend-filled wedding or a smaller more intimate event- or maybe even a destination wedding with just a handful of lucky travel companions.
- GIVEAWAY CLOSES: Our anniversary! (Wednesday, July 7th at 8pm EST)
- NUMBER OF WINNERS: One
- PRIZE SHIPS: To the United States of America
- USUAL STUFF: One entry per e-mail address is permitted. The winner will be selected using random.org and announced on Thursday. Good luck!

INVITE ME!!!!
We are definitely an intimate close friends and family kind of couple. We eloped in January 2009 and due to a death in the family never had the reception we had dreamed of. We are hoping to renew our vows soon and invite our close friends and family….this would be a WONDERFUL addition to the festivities. :)
Marie says
INVITE ME!
We had a small destination wedding in Hawaii with close family and a small group of friends. Perfect and exactly what I wanted and would recommend. Much less hassle and you get all the people there that you really love.

Family reunion complete with ethinc shishkabobs, badminton, and croquet!

Invite me!
I’d love a smaller wedding — just the people that really matter. Enough to have a party, but not so many that I don’t have time to spend with all of them!
Mike R says
Invite me! We want a small ceremony. The invites would be a great surprise for my fiance!
Milady Griffin says
Invite me!
We ended up with a fabulous backyard wedding surrounded by the greenest grass you’ve ever seen with about 150 guests. Only problem was, it was like 100 degrees!
Ahhh, memories.
Peg S says

Cristina says
INVITE ME!
I love the charm of a small wedding… I would love to have enough time to share a conversation with all the guests and have time to enjoy my new husband. Happy Anniversary by the way!

INVITE ME!!! I love small intimate gatherings outside.
Stephanie says
Invite me!!!
I’d have to say smallish, with closest friends and family. Probably in a semi-casual urban venue :)
Sarah @ Dream in Domestic says
INVITE ME!
I think I prefer a smaller, more intimate affair but it is hard when people have a lot of family, so it usually ends up being more.
Jessica says
INVITE ME!
We had a smallish wedding (75 people) and did a backyard reception. I prefer smaller groups- it just makes it seem more personal.
Megan says
INVITE ME! Please!
We are planning a pretty big wedding with all of our family and friends. I can’t wait !

INVITE ME!!! I prefer a more intimate setting. Would love to give this to my soon-to-be-sister-in-law!

Carolyn says
INVITE ME! I want a small, casual wedding by the beach!
Jessica says
INVITE ME!
My dream wedding was a very small group on a sunny beach. My real wedding was much different, but still wonderful. I’m trying to talk the hubs into a beachy vow-renewal for our 10-year anniversary. Wish me luck! :)
Cynda says
INVITE ME!
I can’t really answer the question because we’re starting to plan our wedding right now and we can’t decide if it should be tiny or big! I guess if I won this, we could have a nice 50 person wedding!
mkc says
Invite Me!
We’re planning for a smallish wedding – about 100 people in my hometown.

Prefer a medium sized wedding (175 ish) Would love to use these for a fabulous party!
Diana says
Invite me! I think small and cozy is the way to go :)
Julia says
INVITE ME… we had a smaller more intimate wedding which is
what we both desired. I love the invites.
Grace says
Invite me!
My ideal wedding would be a small, intimate ceremony with just immediate family and close friends. Unfortunately, our families think otherwise and we’re looking at around 150 guests at last count.
Anna says
Invite me!
Our wedding in october will be somewhere between small and intimate and a big party — we’re anticipating just under 100 at a fabulous local art museum.
Anna says
INVITE ME!
a large family and friend filled wedding please :)
Alanna says
INVITE ME!
our wedding will have about 80 people, family and friends :)
Rhiannon says
Invite Me!…I’m actually getting married in 40 days! We’re having a very similar wedding to yours. Close family and friends about 100 people. We luckily live at the beach so we’ll be having the ceremony at the beach and the reception at our house. I’ve definitely tapped into my DIY side with all the decor, but I would love to get some awesome programs. We’re incorporating lots of family into the ceremony so it’d be nice to have some pretty programs to document and preserve the personal touches.
Beth B says
Invite me! We’re planning a big wedding for July 2011 and these would be incredible invitations to give guests an idea of what the wedding day will bring.
Susan says
INVITE ME! I’d love a big family-and-friend-filled ceremony, but when I get married it will probably need to be a smaller, more intimate affair due to budget. Either way, it’s an exciting time and the focus should be on the bond between bride and groom (or bride/bride or groom/groom) rather than how many people are on the guest list.
PS Happy anniversary!
marissa says
Invite me!
Abi says
Oh please oh please INVITE ME. Your company name reminds me of a story my Mom tells of me as a toddler. I would ask her if she was going to cut paper dolls for me. I would say “are you dunna tut paper dolls?” My wedding will include all off are close friends and family:)
Rachel H says
Invite me!
I’m getting married in October and I’m already stressed about it. I’m trying to have a small wedding but apparently I know more people than I thought!
Susan says
Invite me!
We had about 150 people at our wedding and we felt like it was the perfect size to have a busy dance floor, but not so many people that we couldn’t say hello to everyone. Our first anniversary is coming up, so I’m looking forward to starting our annual traditions!
kathryn says
INVITED ME!
how ever many it takes to get all the important people in our lives there.
Kate says
INVITE ME!
We had a medium sized wedding, about 70 people, and it was a blast. Not too big but not too small.
jasmine says
INVITE ME!!
And since I am Filipino and Mexican, a small gathering is NEVER an option!
Heather says
INVITE ME! We’re planning an intimate ceremony of 35 for our wedding next July in the living room of our 100 year old house. Can’t wait!
Steph says
Sadness that I live in Australia :(
We’re getting married September 2011 and there are some GORGEOUS invites on their website!
jess says
INVITE ME!
How incredible are those invitations! Wow, they really take my breath away, I’d love to win! :) I always wanted to have a small wedding, a large one has never been in any of my little-girl-dreams. For a while, I thought about a destination wedding, even tying one into a cruise, but really don’t know what to do about those family members we want there but may not take the trip (for whatever reasons). So then, I was thinking small backyard intimate deal….just like my favorite Youngsters! :)
