***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!

Pat says
INVITE ME! These would make great wedding announcements to let everyone know that we finally “did it”. I prefer a smaller, intimate ceremony. I am a cardmaker and these samples are amazing!
Kristen says
INVITE ME!!!
Ashlee says
INVITE ME!!!
These would be amazing to let our big family and close friends, at our intimate wedding, know that after 10 years — we will finally be husband and wife! *I love the sound of that*
Ashley says
INVITE ME!!! recently engaged and looking to have an average size wedding of 150-175, intimate but still including all that are important to us!
Hillary says
Invite Me! After having a huge wedding of my own to suit my mother’s fancy, I’ve developed a new appreciation for the small intimate wedding ceremony. I think 30-50 people would be just about perfect.
Michelle B. says
INVITE ME!!
My family (aunts, uncles, cousins) is 100+ people. Seems to be growing every day with new babies. :) So even if it’s a family only event – it’s going to be big!
Jenny Denny says
I set up and ex-boyfriend of 20 years ago with an old high-school friend and they are engaged. Would love to have some cute invites for a party.
Kara says
INVITE ME!!
I would prefer something in the middle! Nothing too terribly fancy, but I love planning and have a cake business so I think all the details are so much fun! I love intimate gatherings, but there are so many people we want to be with us on our big day!
Rachel says
INVITE ME!!!! I love those invites! I prefer a larger wedding that includes all your family and friends.
Angela says
Invite me! I think somewhere in the middle is nice…around 140 of your closest friends and family!
Kate says
INVITE ME! I would prefer a large family-and-friend-filled wedding :-) I was just recently married a couple of weeks ago and had 230 guests in attendance. My husband and I couldn’t have been happier with the turnout. To us, our wedding was one day in our lifetime that (almost) everyone that we truely love is gathered together in celebration. That is so unique and beautiful to me!
Becky says
INVITE ME!
175 was the perfect number for us!
Jenny says
Forgot to say Invite Me!! Too early–need coffee!!
Kele S. says
Invite me! I had a large wedding but would recommend a small one. It would be more intimate/ romantic. Also with smaller weddings you can do more of it yourself. I would love to win as my friend Ali is getting married and I think this would be a great surprise for her.
Gigi says
Invite me! Am engaged and just starting to plan a small wedding.
Kate F. says
INVITE ME! My wedding was planned to be pretty big (at least for these parts) with ~175 guests. Cue humongous snow storm dropping over a foot of snow on Richmond and a shrinking guest list. It was still perfect.
Heather D. says
INVITE ME… I prefer a smaller wedding. Family and close friends to make it more intimate and not a huge party.
carlye says
invite me!
i love small and intimate weddings, like 50 people max. :] i think its much more personal and that way you can make sure you can socialize with everyone.
Tammy says
INVITE ME! I think a good size is around 120 – so that allfamily and close friends are included on the big day!
Jen Jahnke says
Invite me! I had a medium sized wedding and I liked it, I think I would rather have more guests than less guests.
Meghan says
INVITE ME!
Family and friends event – celebration!
Laura says
INVITE ME!
I’ve already gotten married (it was small and intimate), but would love to save these invites for a baby shower one day!
Candi says
INVITE ME!!
Not quite engaged yet…but I would want a decent sized wedding…with a huge reception afterwards!!
Sarah says
INVITE ME!
I’m trying to plan for a smaller wedding, but since we’ve got so many family and friends, it will end up being around 150. I just love everyone too much to cut them out!
Kristen A. says
INVITE ME!!
I’d prefer a smaller wedding with just family & close friends (that are like your second family).
Jennifer M says
INVITE ME!!
I am engaged and planning a medium sized wedding. We’ll probably end up with 140ish adults and 10 kids. I have no preference on other people’s wedding sizes!! I’m just there for the love :)
Naomi J says
INVITE ME!
We had about 185 guests at our wedding and it was the most wonderful feeling in the world looking around at all of the people that have shared in our lives. It was perfect!
Nicole Marie says
INVITE ME! I had a large wedding of 200, but we knew EVERY person there and had a very intimate feel. I love weddings that are intimate and personal.
Alexis says
INVITE ME! I got engaged in April and we’re planning for around 150 but the list keeps growing.
Plavita Borah says
INVITE ME!
Elle says
INVITE ME!
I would prefer a smaller more intimate one
Kallie says
INVITE ME!
Although I’m not engaged, I know that I’ll definitely want a more intimate ceremony someday and then a big party with all of my friends and family!
I’ve used Two Paperdolls for my sister’s bridal and baby shower invites and they do an amazing job! I’d love to use this prize as an engagement present for one of my best friends who is planning a wedding next summer! :)
Amanda says
INVITE ME! Planning a wedding and this prize would be WONDERFUL!!! :)
Kylee says
INVITE ME! I love big weddings! I have a giant family, and I want them all to be there.
Bethany says
INVITE ME!
I’d love to have a small small wedding, but a part of me gets really excited about eloping!
Michelle says
INVITE ME!
My idea of what constitutes a “small” wedding has changed a lot as I attend more weddings. I think I’d like a wedding of about 80 people – considering most of that would be family anyway!
Barb says
INVITE ME! This is so perfect. I will be picking out invitations soon, since I am getting married in December 26th. Our guest list is pretty small under 75. Just our closest friends and family.
margie says
invite me!
We are having a big wedding and you would make me the happiest girl in the world if I won this giveaway!!!!!
Kim says
INVITE ME! What a great giveaway! Of course, I am biased, since I’m planning my wedding for next August – it is definitely a large family and friend-filled wedding; mostly because we both have pretty big families. Can’t wait!
Lbby says
INVITE ME! Large weddings surrounded by my family and friends are my favorite.
Kay says
INVITE ME!…….and we’ll all be sure to have a ball!! We love attending events and tend to find ourselves at the center of the dance floor all nite! A photobooth?!-we’re there attention hogging the camera. We’d love to win these beautiful invites that will most definitley set the tone of our very own wedding!
nicole says
INVITE ME!! My fiancee and I are getting married next July, and we have relatively large families, so we’re trying to keep the guest list for our destination, wine country wedding, beyond that rather small.
Pam says
INVITE ME!
I love big weddings. We dearly love all our nieces and nephews – to miss their wedding day would be so sad :(
These are adorable invitations, by the way. Perfect for my daughter-in-law’s baby shower…
Christina Peterson says
INVITE ME! My husband and I had a medium sized wedding in a church with a country club reception, but if I had it to do over, I would have a smaller backyard wedding.
Karen says
INVITE ME! Love a big wedding…
Amber says
INVITE ME!
My fiance and I were planning a “smaller” Vegas wedding. But now it seems that everyone wants to come! So we’ve invited 180 people. Oops!
Brooke says
INVITE ME!
Sylvia says
INVITE ME!!
My husband and I always say that if we had to do it over again we would plan a destination wedding. We had a large, expensive wedding that took too much money and energy! Also, I love the thought of all the guests being in vacation-mode!
Even though I am married, we are expecting our first child and would LOVE to win some invites for my baby shower or thank you notes!
Corrie M. says
Invite Me!
My husband and I had about 150 guests at our outdoor wedding overlooking the Blue Water Bridge. It was the most perfect day.
Sara N says
INVITE ME! Love a smaller wedding with family and close friends.
