***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 actually had a fairly big wedding and now looking back I would have preferred a smaller, more intimate affair, even a vacation wedding! I would love to gift these to my amazing brother who is getting married next year.
Caitlin says
INVITE ME! One more vote for small weddings.
Danielle says
Invite me!
Getting married June 2011.. this would be fantastic!
Krista says
INVITE ME! Could have used this last year… just got married 9.19.09… but trying to win for my brother who I just helped pick out a ring for his girlfriend just last week.
Leslie says
INVITE ME! I like having all different sized parties depending on the occasion.
Celeste says
INVITE ME!
Smaller, more intimate events are what I go for…
Megan says
INVITE ME! Prefer an intimate, personal event.
Heather says
INVITE ME!!
I love being around all my friends and family, so Im for a medium sized wedding
Erin says
INVITE ME! Our wedding was HUGE (over 400), but I would have loved a smaller event–getting to spend some quality time with all invited beats merely saying “hi and thanks for coming” to the masses!
Micalla says
INVITE ME!
My sister just got married last summer and we found that her guest list grew once my mom got a hold of it. Although I’m not close to marriage, my best friend is and would love to share these with her :)
Kendall says
Invite me! And I love big weddings with all the friends and family around.
Lauren says
INVITE ME!!
I always wanted a small intimate wedding at my hometown church. However, my husband’s from a big Italian family, sooo….we had a rather large wedding at my hometown church. ;)
But, I’m entering for a friend who is having a destination wedding in Florida next summer!
Mary says
INVITE ME! I just got engaged! Its going to be big! Big family and lots of friends to share our day with! I can’t wait!
Jennifer says
Invite Me! (please).
I want to have a small wedding, with the people that I love surrounding me and so that I don’t feel like I have to “cater” to my various and assorted guests. I love that idea.
Rebecca says
INVITE ME!
Large. As many friends as possible. Our wedding was budget-constrained and smaller than we’d have liked. I look back and wish all our friends could have been there.
katianne says
INVITE ME!
Large– only closest family and friends filled in a reasonable number… Don’t want anyone coming to a wedding I’ve never met before!. The more they dance, the better!
Branden says
INVITE ME
A combination of small, destination wedding; My fiancée and i are getting married in March next year.. in AUSTRALIA. As she is Australian and i American.
It’s nice as it means I’ll get t introduce a bunch of my friends to her friends and family, and they’ll turn it into a holiday so it’s a great excuse to travel.
These invites are unique and stylish; i love em’.
Kari says
INVITE ME
We just celebrated our 4th anniversary of large wedding full of family and friends!
Jaclyn says
INVITE ME! A small-ish wedding for me – around 100, 125 people max.
G says
Invite me! I’m hoping for a small wedding, in October of 2011, just need to raise a bit of cash for it.
Tasha says
INVITE ME!
we had a medium size wedding but I think I would have a smaller one if I could do it over again!
My baby girl turns 1 this fall so I would love to have these sweet invites for her first birthday bash!
Lauren says
Invite Me
I definitely prefer a smaller destination wedding – ours had 7 people and it was perfect! We celebrated with family and friends about 3 months later
Christa says
INVITE ME!
Our wedding had around 150 guests – not too bad, but ideally, we would have gone even smaller, with just the people who mean the most to us. Still, no complaints – we had a beautiful day.
Courtney says
INVITE ME!
We are currently planning our November wedding. We are having a small, intimate celebration with about 50 guests but I still wish we were having a destination wedding so that we could afford to go to a really nice place rather than spend money on a wedding with a short and local honeymoon.
Jenny says
“Invite me!” While I wish I could get married all over again- to the same awesome dude, of course- I’d have to use these as baby announcements for number 3 due in November. How nice to give such beautiful announcements to celebrate a beautiful occasion!
Kristy says
Invite Me! :)
My boyfriend popped the question on NYE and presented the most perfect ring on my birthday in May! We’re currently ‘on hold’ with announcing our engagement b/c his sister got engaged right before we did and is getting married in the fall.
We’re currently trying to decide on the ‘perfect’ wedding, though we’re leaning toward the smaller, intimate wedding.
We’d love to do a destination wedding, but we have immediate family members that can’t travel. I love the fact that you were able to have your wedding at home!

INVITE ME!
My nieces were born July 1 and July 3 and I’m throwing a big baby shower bash for both of my sisters later this month. I’d love to have some sweet invites to send out!
lexi says
INVITE ME!
I would love a small wedding and my fiance has a huge family so we are having a combination…small ceromony and a large reception.
Jeannine @ Small and Chic says
INVITE ME!
My “wedding style” has changed a bit over time. When I was fresh out of college, I envisioned a massive, over the top bash. By the time I hit my late 20s, my dream wedding was a little smaller. Now that I’m in my early 30s and about to start planning my wedding, I want an intimate party with close friends and family.
Lauren says
INVITE ME!
Our wedding had 105 adults and 16 kids and I wouldn’t have had it any other way!
Molly says
INVITE ME! Family and friend-sized! And since my family and the man’s family are HUGE (read: divorce, remarriage and Irish) that means big… but fun :) Those invitations are so pretty and would make getting the beautiful letterpress invitations I pine for but can’t really justify on a 23-just-graduated-from-college-with-no-debt-but-now-saving-for-a-wedding-and-a-transatlantic-move budget about 100x easier…
Jackie says
INVITE ME…
This would be perfect for my future sister in law wedding 2011. They are going to have a big wedding of family & friends!
Thanks for the giveaway!
Sarah S. says
invite me!
i think i’d love a small wedding but i have way too much family to do that
Meghan says
INVITE ME
For a killer engagement gift!
Michelle says
INVITE ME and my sister is getting married and I would love to share these with her!
Thanks for the chance!!
Michelle
Shailey says
Invite me – A HUGE family wedding is the best way for us to go.
Audrey says
Invite me!
I don’t care about the size! I love all weddings!
Chandeen says
Invite Me!
I had a big wedding last year, but apparently it was not big enough because people still metnion that they wish they were invited. I think a (far away) destination wedding could be great too, and then you don’t have to worry so much about the guest list. You have the ultimate excuse!
Katie says
INVITE ME!
Small and intimate is my vote.
Allyson says
INVITE ME!
I would love to go to a destination wedding! (and I’d love to win these invites for my brother and his fiancé)
Zora says
Invite me!! Last summer my daughter had her dream wedding with 300 family and friends. Would love to win these for my friend’s daughter who is getting married in November.
Katy T says
INVITE ME (please!)!!!
We’re having a destination wedding next spring in Napa.
It’s going to be about 125 people…which we hope will be family-filled and intimate! :)
Ashley says
Invite Me! I prefer small family weddings. I actually loved your outdour wedding! And the photo booth was a great idea. My H and I eloped and we plan on doing a 5 year vowel renewal next August and plan on doing it at our house outside!
Molly says
Invite Me
I had a big wedding, but now I would go small with just family and close friends!
Lori says
INVITE ME! I got engaged in May of this year, and I haven’t planned a single thing, because we can’t decide between a small destination wedding or a huge party with our friends and family! I wish we could have a backyard wedding, YHL-style, but sadly, our neighborhood, house and backyard couldn’t deal with it. The only thing I DO know about the wedding? It will have fabulous invitations, hopefully letter-pressed! (This design/paper snob who used to work in printing can’t have anything less!)
Anne V says
INVITE ME!
I’d love to have a smaller, more intimate wedding…when the time comes…Hopefully soon!
Tara says
INVITE ME!
I prefer a large family affair… mostly because I have a large family!!
Caryn says
INVITE ME!!!
I definitely prefer a small intimate wedding, even though I come from a gigantic family. It was important to the hubbster and I to really experience that day to its fullest with the most important people in our lives together…OUR PARENTS =] Looking back I do wish we would have had a gathering with our very closest family and friends to share the day with us, but that’s just another reason to throw a party!
Kelly says
INVITE ME!!!
I would be the rad-dest bridesmaid-to-be for my dear best friend!
joyce says
invite me!
those invitations are beautiful! i would love to use them for our 2011 wedding.
small and large weddings are both fun to attend, but for my own, i think i would prefer something on the smaller side.
