***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 currently planning a wedding for about 160 or so. At first it was definitely what we wanted … now in the middle of planning, we realize how nice and relaxing a small celebration would have been! :)
Laura W says
INVITE ME! Planning my wedding as we speak! :)
Teah B says
INVITE ME! We are getting married June 18, 2011 and it will be a large Italian family-style wedding with 250+ guests. LOVE the invites!
Elliott says
Invite me!!! I like small, low-key parties. I don’t think it’s fun if you can’t talk to everyone!
LynnG says
INVITE ME!
I prefer a wedding that is host to all those important to you in your life – those that will support you as a couple. This may be 10 people or 100, depending on your situation. As long as you can look around the room and not miss anyone…
Shelley @ Green Eggs & Hamlet says
Wedding size is one thing that my boyfriend-hopefully-future-husband disagree on. He wants a very intimate wedding with just family and very close friends. I don’t want a huge or expensive wedding but the most important thing to me is that all of “my people” (family and friends) are in attendance. If we do get married, figuring this out will I’m sure be one of many great compromises.
Elizabeth F says
Invite me! I come from a large close-knit extended family, so a large wedding it is!
Holly says
INVITE ME! We’re doing a mixture of the three…we live in a different state than the rest of our family so it will be a destination for them, but we are only inviting family and a few close friends so would you call it intimate? If you consider 80 family members intimate…
Amanda says
INVITE ME!
I’m a fan of smaller and intimate, but my husband loves to invite everyone he has ever met! We usually end up somewhere in the middle. These invites would be the perfect way to invite our family and friends to our housewarming party! Stunning.
Alex C says
Oh, this could not be more timely! We are getting hitched in October and I still don’t have invitations–and we are on a very tight budget and nothing here in Chicago comes inexpensively.
So please, do me this honor, and… INVITE ME! Please save me from wedding planning hell, er… I mean, bliss! :)
In response to your question… we prefer a smallish wedding of about 125 people. Great food and open bar is a must and we simply can’t afford to feed and water ALL of our friends and relatives. Apart from that, the more the merrier, we say!
P.S. Did I mention we have a cute baby, too, and he has the same crib as your adorable bebe??
Shannon H. says
INVITE ME!!! A small, intimate wedding with our closest friends and family sounds great to me.:)
Sara C says
INVITE ME!
I want a small wedding on the coast or beach.
Lindsey says
INVITE ME!
I believe in “the more the merrier!”…especially when it comes to family and great friends!
Julie says
INVITE ME
Just starting to plan the wedding and still deciding between big or small!
Stacy says
INVITE ME! I generally like large weddings so it feels like a really big celebration!
Stefanie T. says
INVITE ME!!! This is PERFECT timing for us! My fiancee are in the middle of planning our smallish wedding of about 100-125 people. As our budget is tight, this would be so fantastic!
Tahir says
INVITE ME!
These invitations are great and would make my fiancee (and me too) so happy. We are planning our wedding and are hoping to end up with around 100 people.
PS – She reads your website all of the time and has gotten me hooked too!
Courtney Lanae says
Invite me please!! Currently in a pickle trying to decide between the small and large wedding options right now!
mary says
INVITE ME please! I need these for a friend who is waaaay over her budget!
Alex says
INVITE ME. Planning a wedding and going to 8 weddings this year. I prefer a big wedding with an intimate rehearsal dinner.
r8chel says
INVITE ME!
I prefer a medium-sized wedding with our family and friends… which is exactly what we’re going to be celebrating in just 11 days!
Laura says
INVITE ME!
We’re getting married November 27 and are having a medium-sized 120-guest wedding. Big enough to have all of our loved ones there, but small enough to actually get to see everyone!
NikKidd says
INVITE ME! Ohhh how I would have loved this when we were getting married – I drooled over Louella Press invitations when I was planning and ended up having to design my own inspired from their “copper twist” pattern because I loved them so much but could NOT afford them on my limited wedding planning budget.
I’m SURE I could find someone that would love to take advantage of the freebie – or heck… I could even use them for our house-warming party… I suppose we should probably have one at some point, since we’ve lived here for over a year and a half!
Lizzie M says
INVITE ME! I get married in 16 weeks & letterpress has had to bite the budget :(
Paula says
INVITE ME!
I think a small wedding would be lovely. I’ve already done the bit route, and now I think doing something very intimate and personalized would be the way to go.
Thanks
Paula
Amanda says
Invite me!!!
I would have to say that I am for a smaller affair … our wedding is only three months away and the guest list is topping out at 18 people (including us!). These invitations would be divine!
Jamie says
INVITE ME! I would love to win a set of invitations for my upcoming baby shower!
Melissa R says
INVITE ME – I like a smaller get wedding much more than a big one full of people you barely know
Lyndsey says
INVITE ME!! I’d like a happy medium…not too many but not too few people.
Adira K says
Invite me!
I love smaller more intimate gatherings! It gives me a chance to really hang out with all my guests…
Julie says
INVITE ME please! :) We just got engaged!!!!
Carley says
Invite Me!
We had a big family and friends wedding. We did a lot of the work ourselves, but it was well worth it!
Jenn says
INVITE ME! I’m starting to look at invites for my April 2011 wedding! Hope I win!
Blair says
INVITE ME!! I would love to use these invites for my friend’s baby shower. She is due in November and these would be perfect for a special gathering to celebrate an amazing friend.
Thanks!! Blair
Megan S says
INVITE ME! I like the idea of a small, intimate ceremony, but since I want the big, friend-filled reception I’m afraid a compromise is in order.
Jill says
INVITE ME!
We had a large family and friend wedding and we wouldn’t have changed it for the world! We actually wanted to invite more people but our place couldn’t hold everyone!
Samantha says
INVITE ME! We are planning our wedding now. Not too big, not too small. Hoping for around 100 or less. Love these invitations! They would definitely help out this budget bride. :-)
MeaganM says
INVITE ME!
I am anticipating a ring soon! Don’t want a small wedding, but don’t want a huge gathering either!
dustin says
INVITE ME! i’d prefer a mix of close friends and family at an exotic location like India or the Philippines.
Anna says
INVITE ME!
Since my fiance and I both have large families, we will be having a large friends and family wedding. We would love a small destination wedding but with the amount of friends and family we have, that’s just not possible!
Marisa H says
INVITE ME!!
I am getting married in May and would love to use those beautiful invitations! Especially since we are on a budget! We are going to have a big family party for our nuptials and can’t wait!
ash says
INVITE MEEE!!!
I’m a few months into wedding planning and I totally fantasize about a cozy destination wedding somewhere exotic, but it looks like the mid-size wedding of 150 will win out. Just too many family and friends we want to celebrate with and the more the merrier, right?!
Brenda says
INVITE ME Please!!
We had a larger size wedding and it was nice to be surrounded by so many family and friends to help us celebrate!
Courtney says
invite me! planning my wedding for 120ish people. these would definitely come in handy!
Kelly says
Invite Me!
We are planning our wedding for June 11, 2011! We are having a large wedding with lots of family to surround us on such an important day. I love small and large weddings!!!
Mary W. says
Invite me…
I think a destination wedding would be so much fun!
Laura Damiano says
INVITE ME!!! Large traditional wedding it is!!!!
Amanda says
INVITE ME
to just one more wedding next year, go ahead! :) I’d like medium – I want to know almost every face – this isn’t going to be someone’s entertainment theatre-style!!
Trace says
Invite me!
Both! I love a small affair or a huge bash.
Happy anniversary!
Colleen says
“INVITE ME!”
I’m entering for my daughter-in-law to be!!!! She has exquisite taste and your site looks like her! How lucky our family is that she will soon be a member! The best part is she loves my son!!!! They are looking forward to sharing their special day with lots of family and friends!
