***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!

We loved our friends and family-filled wedding and had a blast celebrating our first anniversary on Saturday (July 3)! Having all our loved ones there made it super special to us:)
Jessica says
INVITE ME!!!
We are having a small wedding (70 on the guestlist) that is a destination wedding to all of our guests. We are both grad students living in the middle of PA, and we’re making our guests come to us. :)

To each her own, but I loved having friends and family celebrate with us!

I prefer small, outdoor weddings to large affairs. Here or there, it doesn’t matter, as long as my closest loved ones are there to share the in the moment.
Happy early anniversary!!!!

Bridget E says
Invite ME!
Planning my 300+ guest wedding for June, 2011. FI and I both come from large families, so we’d be shunned if we didn’t have a big gathering. I’m all for it! I love my family and wouldn’t have it any other way :)
Shannon says
INVITE ME!!! I would love an intimate wedding in Paris!!
Danielle says
INVITE ME!
I like smaller, more intimate weddings, but my husband wanted something much bigger. We compromised and ended up with around 120 guests. It was a lot of fun and if I had to do it over, I wouldn’t change a thing.
Rose says
INVITE ME
Julie I says
INVITE ME!
We had a large, fun-filled wedding less than two months ago, but my sister just got engaged and would LOVE these invites!
Miranda says
INVITE ME
These are so beautiful I’m throwing a baby shower for my sis – these would be divine!

Abbie says
Invite Me!
theresa dill says
Invite me! I think a smaller than average wedding with close friends and family suit us best…we’re thinking around 75 to 100 guests.
Paige Cotney says
INVITE ME!
I LOVE THE IDEA OF A FAMILY/FRIEND FILLED OUTDOOR WEDDING!
erin g says
Invite Me!
I like a medium sized wedding… where you know everybody, but all that really care about you get to be there.
Anna says
INVITE ME!
I would hate to have a huge wedding. (Mostly, I just don;t want to plan it.) In fact, my boyfriend and I have considered skipping the whole wedding part of getting married, entirely. But I would also hate giving up an excuse to gather all of our family together. So small, definitely. But with a big party later. :)
Amber says
Invite me. I like a wedding large or small as long as it stays an intimate affair. And I’m all about the little details.
styleezta says
INVITE ME…I prefer a destination wedding with just a handful of lucky travel companions~ Maui PLEASE!!
April says
INVITE ME!!! We are planning a very small wedding with just immediate family. Then we plan on sending out announcements later on.
Zhaleh says
I love intimate gatherings, but I fear just inviting our friends and closest family will put us over 150 for our wedding! Ah well, my new philosophy will be, “the more the merrier.”
kathy Brown says
Invite me! Son is engaged to a wonderful girl and they could use these. Winning these would make me so happy for this special couple. Thanks
Katie H. says
INVITE ME please!!! I’m planning a wedding to my best friend next year and we’re inviting our closest friends and family to a diy destination wedding in Cancun.
Maria Beaver says
INVITE ME!
maggie e says
Invite me!! I love throwing a big shin dig with lots of people who know how to have a good time!
Maria Beaver says
oh dear, I meant to add ‘small and intimate, less than 100’
Lydia says
INVITE ME! :)+
Kate says
Invite me!! My wedding next summer is going to be ginormous! We’re thinking about 300 guests, so if I win this giveaway I’ll have to order a bunch more!
Lydia says
A large, family-and-friend filled wedding! :)
Lisa says
INVITE ME! Large family gathering :)
Kelly says
INVITE ME!
I would like to have a small intimate destination wedding at a beautiful place like the beach. I am trying to plan my wedding but I lost my mom 3 years ago so I am having a hard time without her. If I won, hopefully, this will help motivate me to set a date!
Beth says
INVITE ME!
I think just a trip down to the peace of justice on my Vespa and then a huge dance party later would be ideal.
Thalla-Marie says
INVITE ME!
Small intimate weddings!
lindsay says
invite me! these are beautiful!
Karen says
INVITE ME!
I would have much preferred a small, intimate wedding. But my husband is a pastor of a large church, which his parents also attend so we had close to 450 people. It was nuts and not the personalized, intimate affair we wanted. We are celebrating 10 years next year and are thinking of having a party to celebrate like a wedding re-do!
Jessica K says
INVITE ME
We had a huge wedding…and it was loads of fun. We didn’t have much choice with size (it already was way paired down) but despite how wonderful and crazy fun it was celebrating with everyone, my personal preference is smaller. The details and small things that make a couple a couple can stand out more and the whole day seems so much more beautiful and sweet.
Steph Cisneros says
Invite me!
there is no way that I could ever have a small wedding due to family size although that’s what I have always wanted. A small 50-person backyard wedding.
k says
Invite me!
I would donate these to my sister who is wedding planning.. small all the way..
Emma says
Invite me!!!
Christy says
INVITE ME!
We had a larger wedding as it was impossible with our families and close friends not to. If I won, I would bestow this great gift on my brother as he is getting married next June and I know they would appreciate this greatly!
Jamie says
INVITE ME!!
I would prefer a gathering for as many family and friends as I could afford to have attend!
Matt says
INVITE ME!
Love lots of family and friends…that’s how my wedding was!
wendy says
I am all about the destination wedding but if its not feasible by the time we are ready to plunge…back yard with best friends it is!
Elyse says
INVITE ME!
I prefer small intimate weddings… we’re actually busy planning our own small intimate wedding in October :) (probably 40 guests) I just bought some cheapo invitations from Michaels to print on my computer, but I would love love love these :) I can use the Michael’s paper for something else!
Emily says
Invite me! I like large but not too large
Judy says
INVITE ME!!
I love small and cozy weddings – better to talk and spend time with guests.
ivy says
INVITE ME……prettyyyy pleease!! I prefer small get togethers, but with my family and husbands its over 50 people just immediate family..soooo its impossible. We had 300 invited to our wedding!!!
Jarrod says
INVITE ME!
I tend towards more intimate parties. Too big and I feel like I don’t get to see anyone.
