***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 had a 50-person wedding last November and it was the absolute best…small and intimate is the way to go.
With the baby due in a couple months, these invites would be so perfect.
Jade says
INVITE ME! My husband and I just celebrated our 5th wedding anniversary. We had a very small, intimate June morning wedding followed by a lunch reception. Love the baby announcements for our upcoming baby due in September!
Angie says
Invite me!
We had our wedding at our house, sort of like you youngsters! And eight years later, we gutted and restored our house all in about six months! Whew–if our marriage can survive that, I think we’ve got it made! ;)
Jessica says
INVITE ME! I’m getting married 04/02/11 and would love these invites. Thanks for all your hardwork youngsters!
Jessie says
INVITE ME!
I’m definitely more of a small wedding kind of gal.
Sarah says
INVITE ME!
We go back and forth about wedding size/place. His parents have both passed away, leaving his immediate family small, ~14 if you include siblings, aunts and uncles…mine is big, 40+ with the same groups. It will also be his second wedding. After years of attending large family weddings, I will be quite content with a small, casual event, but we’re having trouble defining “small” while including all of our loved friends and family.
Brooke says
INVITE ME!! I just got engaged over the weekend and would LOVE to win this giveaway. My fiance and I are thinking of having a mid size wedding (around 150 people). The most important thing to us is to have a great time wit all of our friends and family
Jennifer says
Invite ME! Small and intimate are the key words for me! These invites would be perfect! Thanks for the giveaway!
Sandra P. says
Invite Me…
Small wedding with our close family and friends!
Nicole says
INVITE ME!!!
I had 140 people at my wedding, so on the smaller side. It was perfect! I was at a friend’s wedding last summer where there were over 250 people in attendance. I overheard the groom say to the bride, “Who is that again, honey?” I definitely did not want people at my wedding that I didn’t know!
If I win this week’s giveaway, I’m going to give it to my brother-in-law and his fiance. They just got engaged on the 4th of July!
lindsey says
INVITE ME! The more people the better!
Erin says
INVITE ME! I would probably prefer a larger, more casual wedding. Thanks for the contest!
Tina Elam says
Invite me! I prefer a small beach wedding with close friends and family. Thanks for the fantastic contest, the invitations are delightful!
Megan says
Invite me!
I’m not sure what to use these for- the many obligatory bridesmaid events I have to throw, or something for myself…
Jess says
INVITE ME!
I like big weddings. I like to think of it as the biggest party I’ll ever get to throw. :)
Jenelle says
INVITE ME!
I am definitely a small wedding girl. We just had our engagement party – that had 170 people and was in Australia.
Our wedding is here in New York and we’ll be lucky to reach 40 guests – just how I always wanted it with immediate family only. A small, intimate, ceremony with a focus on the religious importance to us with a small dinner afterwards. My idea of perfection! :)
Amanda says
Invite Me!
I love a large gathering of family and friends.
Holly says
INVITE ME!
I want a cozy friends and family wedding. Small and informal, please. :)
KVB says
INVITE ME!
I like them both – depends on the couple and the execution.
Jessie says
INVITE ME!
Small weddings just seem more memorable to me. I don’t want to look back at my wedding photos and be like, “I haven’t seen half of these people in years.”
Beatriz says
INVITE ME!
With the sizes of our families, “small” would still be big! I don’t mind the amount of guests either way, I just want our wedding to be fun filled party!
Holly says
INVITE ME!
We had a 25-person, uber-casual afternoon wedding and it was perfectly “us.” In retrospect, the only thing I would do differently is plan for some photos in front of the venue.
Kara says
INVITE ME
Jessica says
INVITE ME!
We’re having a pretty small wedding for financial reasons, but I would secretly love to have a big one.
Jennifer says
Invite Me!…we are only inviting around 100 people. In between large and small. The venue will be intimate in a garden and we can even bring our dogs to join in the celebration!
stylefyles says
INVITE ME!
I’d go for a large gathering with family and friends!
Jessica says
INVITE ME!
I just got engaged two weeks ago! We are so excited! We both have very large Italian families and our rough guest list estimate is over 300!
Kirsten says
Ooohhhh we are currently in the process of trying to find invitations for our wedding. Our prefect wedding our family and closest friends, which include people we actually speak with frequently.
Natalie S. says
Invite Me!
Im getting married on 4/15/2011, and I have a big family, so i would definitely have a large wedding filled with family and friends
Allison B says
Invite me! please! I have my wedding coming up in December and I would LOVE invitations!!! My wedding will be a larger wedding party!
laura says
Invite me! I like something in between–we had 100 people at our wedding and it was just right for us.
rachel thomas says
INVITE ME! I’m currently planning a casual wedding of 125 guests to be held at my parent’s lakeside home in Upstate NY. Two Paperdolls invites would be the cherry on my wedding sundae!
melinda h. says
Invite me!
We are getting married next September and are still figuring out our guest list :)
Jordan says
INVITE ME! We had a relatively small wedding with family and close friends a few years ago. With a baby on the way, these would be just perfect!
kayduh says
Invite me! I love the idea of everyone I love being at my wedding, if only it didn’t cost so much!
Kim S. says
Invite me! I’m getting married in October and we’re doing a little of both actually. We’re having a small, intimate ceremony in Wine country in Sonoma (an elopement package) and then a large reception a few days later.
Jess says
INVITE ME!
And- the bigger the better!
Joan says
Invite Me! Not sure if the invites would be for a wedding, or for my sister’s baby shower :) As for me, I prefer a smaller, more intimate affair where you can really focus on making it special with close friends
anya says
INVITE ME
huge family— so it will be big!
Keith says
Invite Me
Adriana says
invite me!
bigger the better!!
Caity says
INVITE ME! We had a big wedding, the more the merrier I think. I’m planning my friends upcoming wedding, the invites would be perfect!
Lauren says
Invite Me!
I like both, small and focused on the event that’s occurring, but it’s also wonderful to feel the love and support from everyone you know!
Lauren says
Invite me! I’d love a destination wedding but I don’t think that will happen since we both have a lot of family.
Wow those are some amazing invites!
Jessi says
INVITE ME!
Small weddings give room for a bigger honeymoon. :D
Jessica says
INVITE ME!
I’ve never seen the point in inviting a ton of people. You’re going to lose touch with half of them over the years anyway. I’m sticking to my just-family-and-REALLY-close-friends rule. And none of this third cousin family. Just the people I see/speak to frequently.
Kelsey B says
INVITE ME!
We both have large, close families so it ended up being a big wedding without either of us meaning for it to! But we enjoyed having so many important people there to celebrate with us – it was a big fun party!
Samantha says
INVITE ME!
We’re currently planning our small, intimate wedding to be held lakeside near my hometown. These invitations would be perfect!
Brie says
INVITE ME!
I prefer small, intimate weddings. My sister is getting married this winter and we were just discussing invitations–I’m sure she’d love any of these designs: )
Ashley says
INVITE ME!!!
I prefer small, intimate weddings.
