***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’re doing a big wedding with lots of family and friends. Couldn’t figure out how to do it any other way!
Liz says
INVITE ME!!!
I would prefer something in the middle – I have a lot of family so it wouldn’t be too small, but not too crazy large either!
luckyjayne says
INVITE ME!
I like the idea of a destination wedding. If I win this will be for my little sister – who just got engaged yesterday.
Emma says
“INVITE ME!” My husband and I had a small wedding in a one-room-seats 35 chapel – an I’m still happy we chose to keep things small, simple, and intimate! Your blog inspired us to feel confident about such a sweet ceremony. If we had a backyard like yours, we would have done the same!
Shun says
INVITE ME!
Those invites are amazing! When I was younger I always thought that a huge wedding was for me. Now I would have small to medium intimate and chic wedding where everyone could feel a part of the day.
fullertonregan says
Invite Me!
I’ve done both the big event wedding and the small gathering, and small wins out for me. Especially since it was in Vegas and Elvis was our officiant!
Holly says
Invite me!
Close family wedding
tara says
Invite Me!
We had about 100 people at our outdoor wedding on a farm. Now we have our first baby on the way and could use these invites!
michelle says
INVITE ME!
We had a smaller wedding in a rustic lodge – good food, good company, and lots of fireplace warmth!
Jen N. says
INVITE ME!
Something in the middle…a wedding where everyone who should be invited is invited, but not so large that we can’t name everyone who is there.
Jane @ The Borrowed Abode says
Invite Me!
I’m hoping to have an easy-going backyard wedding a la you guys, but I wouldn’t mind a super laid-back destination on Tahiti with only close friends and family. But I think my mom would kill me. :)
jamie says
INVITE ME! :)
I like the way my friends did it – they had a nice-sized wedding, a garden reception at a house, and then a big big party at a friend’s music venue. It’s the best of both worlds :)
Elise says
INVITE ME!!!
Our guest list is 13 people long – small is our wedding plan!
Amanda says
Invite me!
I prefer something in the middle… Nit too small or big, somewhere around 100 people.
Adriana says
INVITE ME!!!
I want a small, backyard wedding (your wedding has given me LOTS of ideas!) with just close friends and family. I LOVE these invitations :)
Amanda H. says
INVITE ME!
I’m like somewhere in the middle – I want to have my friends and family there, but I don’t want a whole bunch of people I’ve never met! :)
Mary says
Invite Me! I think a small reception with family and friends is the way to go. About 125 guests would be a perfect amount especially for those with a small budget.
a kilbreath says
“INVITE ME!” A event where you know everyone regardless of size.
Tiffannie says
INVITE ME!
I’m engaged and looking forward to marrying my best friend (who proposed on April Fools Day). We’re haveing a small-ish wedding with family and close friends next year on July 16th. :D
Amber says
INVITE ME!
I had a pretty large wedding especially considering the stage of life I was in (19 years old – just old enough to lose contact with most of your high school friends and not old enough to have college and career friends). I think having a destination wedding would have been so much easier to plan and less stress so I could have actually enjoyed the day. But it’s the marriage that is the most important thing not the wedding, so I guess it wouldn’t have matter either way in the end I still have a wonderful man to spend the rest of my life with.
Casey N says
Invite me….
in the middle!
Lindsey Kaye says
Invite Me!
As for weddings – they’re all awesome :D Some couples love having everyone there and some want only their nearest and dearest. We started off thinking small but ended up big (like many others I have to assume!)
Jennifer says
INVITE ME!
Well our wedding was small and intimate but if I had had the balls to do what I really wanted to do and not worry about upsetting people I would’ve eloped. Ideally, probably in Mexico.
Whitney says
INVITE ME!!!!
We’re having a medium-ish wedding of about 75! Eloping on a tropical island sounded amazing, but our friends and family would have killed us!!!
Ivy says
INVITE ME!
Would love to have a small intimate wedding, maybe at a park, but definitely outdoors.
Kristin says
“INVITE ME!” Large gathering so all the attention isn’t on me! But if I could re-do my wedding I’d do a destination or outdoor wedding and recetpion
barbara says
Invite me! I would like a smaller wedding with just closest friends and family.
Nancy says
INVITE ME! I love an intimate event with close friends and family so that I can focus on making the event of good quality instead of having to worry about the “quantity”.
Laura says
INVITE ME…
I had a large wedding! It was fun but if I had to do it over (which I hope I never do) I would do a small private event.
Brittany says
INVITE ME!
I would LOVE to win this FAB FREEBIE! My fiance and I just had to reschedule our wedding because we had a nightmare situation at our venue. We had the invitations/rsvp cards/you name it already printed and will have to incur that charge all over again. This would be a blessing to win this!
Nicole says
INVITE ME!
There’s nothing as fun as a huge down-home wedding filled with everyone you’ve ever met!!
Mallory says
“INVITE ME!”
I would love a destination wedding, but with so much family, it makes planning one difficult.
Aimee says
Invite Me!! We are planning a small, intimate wedding. Ideally a back yard bash like your lovely wedding! We are still shopping for our perfect yard and house though, so it may be a while!
Brian says
Invite Me!
We are planning a big family wedding.
Angela N says
INVITE ME!
We chose a large event with all of our friends and family.
THese are just beautiful!! And perfect for my grandmother’s 80th b-day next New Years! I will pass the link on to my mother! Thanks for the link and giveaway!!
the legers says
INVITE ME!
Small weddings all the way!
Sara says
INVITE ME! Me and my FH are planning an intimate wedding of 50 of our closest friends and family at the fabulous Southernmost Mansion in Key West, FL! We could definitely use these beautiful invites!!
Nicole in STL says
Invite me! And I think destination weddings are pretty awesome :)
Christine Harris says
Invite Me!
We had a big wedding of 175 people. Luckily I didn’t feel like we had to sacrifice quality for quantity. We both have large families and couldn’t imagine our day without them!
Jennifer Coombs says
INVITE ME!”
Taren says
INVITE ME!!
Our wedding will be filled family and friends! We know we’ll be surrounded by so much love!
Jen says
INVITE ME!
My fiancee and I are currently debating the merits of a lake-side wedding versus a mountain-top one. But either way it will be a small, intimate affair!
Jennifer Coombs says
Invite Me!
Good Small Destination Wedding. Preferably on a beach!
Jessica @ How Sweet says
INVITE ME!!
Anna says
INVITE ME!
My husband and I were married in an intimate ceremony with our closest family and friends on a Bahamas beach!
Korrie says
INVITE ME! Trying to keep it small but with friends and family!
AB says
Invite Me!
Louella did my invites. I love Vanessa. I wish she could engrave my every day stuff too. And I prefer medium size gatherings…
Courtney says
Invite me!
Our wedding is 2 months away and it’s going to be right in the middle, size-wise. It’s semi-destination (in the mountains of NC) but we’ll be with all of our friends and both of our big families! And these invites would be great for a housewarming party since we’re moving very soon, they’re so pretty!
Dana Logan says
INVITE ME!
We’re planning a destination wedding. Though, we haven’t done much actual planning yet… Date? Who knows? Location? Somewhere in the Caribbean.
liz says
INVITE ME!
I’m helping a friend plan a small, intimate wedding in someone’s backyard! These invites would be perfect!!
