***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!

Moire says
INVITE ME!
I love letterpress cards and used them for my own wedding back in 2006. We are expecting our second child in November and these would make an extra special introduction.
Thanks!
anne m. says
Invite me!!! Just got engaged and haven’t gotten the nerve to tell our families we’ll be eloping. I think an announcement with these beautiful cards would smooth things over with our families!!!
Ashley M says
Invite me!
I’d love a big wedding, especially if I can keep it from being too pricey like you did!
Heather says
INVITE ME
I’ll be getting married next July. I would prefer to elope or have a very small intimate wedding. Instead we are having a huge Catholic wedding in the Philippines.
Penny says
Invite me! Helping to plan my best friend’s destination wedding on 10-10-10!

The bigger the better! Friends, family, kids, bring ’em all, a wedding is a time to celebrate!
Megan says
“INVITE ME!”
Close friends and family!
Stephanie says
Invite me!
With a large Irish Catholic family, even just keeping it to family and close friends brings a crowd. But weddings are times of celebrations, so sometimes the more the merrier!
Dani S. says
invite me! I think the best wedding is small, with close friends and family only.
Marsha says
INVITE ME!

INVITE ME!
I like smaller weddings… but that’s easier said than done, right? =)
Jenna W says
Invite me!
I love a big family wedding with a big party, but I think a small romantic destination wedding would be pretty perfect too!
Tiffany says
INVITE ME! We are going for a small wedding with family and only close friends. We are both introverts. Large parties and large groups wear us out, so the smaller the better!
Susan says
INVITE ME! We’re having a medium sized local wedding in November. It’ll be big enough to include all of our friends and family, but not so large that we won’t see everyone.
Amber O. says
Invite me!
I had a great big wedding last summer and loved it. Not to say that’s the only way to go though! My brother is engaged and my sister is hoping her man pops the question sometime relatively soon, so this would be an awesome prize. Happy anniversary! :)
amanda brown says
INVITE ME!
im planning my 30th birthday next year and would love to get my hands on some of these invitations for the big shebang!
Sydney says
Invite me! I love weddings of all kinds… big bashes are my thing since I love the attention, but my hubby prefers something small and intimate which is exactly what we had for our wedding last september.
Lindsay T says
Invite Me! I’m a ways away from a wedding yet, but I imagine I’d like a small-medium ceremony followed by a huge no-holds-barred party!
Amanda says
INVITE ME!
i’m gonna be a momma and I need a baby bash!
Caroline Block says
Invite me! I just got married, but would love to plan a 1-year anniversary party!

Cindy K. says
INVITE ME!! Medium/small wedding at the beach with friends and family:)
Claire says
Invite me!
my wedding is next year and we are in the middle of setting the guest list — way harder than it seems! So far we’re looking at a smaller wedding with true family and friends!
Brooke E. says
INVITE ME!!! As long as there is great music, food/drinks, and amazing friends and family..any size wedding would work!!
Aviva says
Invite me! Quiet & Intimate all the way! :)
Katie says
Invite me!
So long as the budget covers making everyone feel comfortable, loved, and entertained, I say the more the merrier. Nothing better than looking out across a room full of all those you love having a wonderful time meeting each other.
Josie says
INVITE ME!
I prefer a large, family-and-friend-filled wedding because I need to see all those people in one place as many times as possible!
Gina says
INVITE ME!
I think there are times and places for both. I’m a wedding fiend and had a guest list that hit three hundred and loved every minute of it. I’m day-of coordinating a wedding this weekend with a guest list of 120 and it’s in a smaller, more intimate venue. I love both ideas. What I’d LOVE to be a part of next time (not my next time, I like my hubby just fine, but next time I coordinate maybe) would be an affair with maybe 75 tops, outside in the country. Love that idea.
Jessica says
INVITE ME!
Our wedding was a large family and friend affair, especially since we were the first of our siblings to get married!
Lindsey says
INVITE ME!
Lots of family and friends to share in the special day!
Jennifer says
Invite Me! Our wedding will be a medium sized affair filled with lots of family and friends. We stuck to inviting the people we feel the closest to, so it will feel more intimate and comfortable. While I just got my DIY invites out the door, I could definitely use the help of these invites for other things, like the rehearsal dinner.
Laurie says
Invite me! I want the whole family and our friends there.
Jennifer says
Invite me! I love a big (without being too big) party with family and friends! Our big day is December 18th.
jody says
INVITE ME! I love big weddings with everyone around!
Sarah Lee says
Please INVITE ME!!
We just got engaged two weeks ago and I’m already overwhelmed by how much is involved in planning a wedding. I am currently trying to convince my fiance to do the destination wedding thing (I’m hoping for Sandals in Antigua!!!). This would alleviate a lot of stress(even though some of our friends & family wouldn’t be able to make it). But the ones that are truly important would come – and we could throw a big party afterword to celebrate the event with those who didn’t make it out. Wish me luck!!
Ashley says
INVITE ME! Getting married next year, having a big party with family and friends!
Becca says
Invite me! I’m throwing a shower for my favorite bride to be and these are lovely.
Hannah says
INVITE me! I would love a small intimate wedding with my nearest and dearest in a romantic destination wedding setting, but alas I am the eldest so my parents want a bigger, local wedding (think 400+). we compromised, and it’ll be a smaller affair with 200 guests in a beautiful winery next on a binary date (a detail my dorky fiancé loves) on 10-01-11.
Mary Ann says
Invite Me!
My husband and I both thought we wanted a SMALL, intimate affair and ended up with well over 100 people (thanks mom…). In reality, there are a LOT of friends I wish I would have invited but didn’t. If I had it to do over again, I would totally have put my friends higher on the guest list (aka above my mom’s friends haha).
Jacqueline L. says
INVITE ME!
We are having an intimate outdoor wedding with our closest family & friends. I want our guests to feel *special – not just another face in the crowd….
