Our customers say:

"WOW!! We are so pleased with our invitations. They are absolutely lovely. We knew they would be beautiful, but these are even beyond our greatest expectations. Thank you so much for helping us make our special event even more individually ours. We are so very thankful we found you." <read more testimonials>

Pictured here are different invitation styles. Not only are the attachment (ribbon, fern, sticker) styles interchangeable, but the paper is often custom designed to fit your event. Each invitation is shown with two prices. The first price represents the cost per invitation (everything pictured) if we provide you with the invitation completely assembled as shown. The second price represents the cost per invitation if you purchase the printed components from us and assemble them yourself. Not all styles require assembly. Enclosures and envelopes sold separately. Printing optional.

For help ordering use our ordering form and we will send an estimate in 24 hours and proofs in 2-3 business days.

Our invitations are sold as complete sets or as individual components. We sell every part of the invitation as a separate item so you have the opportunity to mix and match. This also allows you to do some or all of the construction on your own. If you would like to punch holes and tie your own ribbon you save $1.50 per invitation. Looking for a green wedding? Our earth friendly approach makes for a low impact event. Recycled components? You bet!

About the paper we make at Of The Earth:
More Invitation Samples
We use two main fibers for our paper at Of The Earth. One we call Lotka paper and it is made from the bark of the Daphne bush. It is a naturally regenerating renewable resource. All lotka envelopes and paper are 100% tree free and 50% recycled. The paper is also acid free and your purchase will benefit the economic enterprise of rural craftspeople in Nepal. Some of the lotka papers are embedded with seeds and will bloom if planted.

We also make a cotton and abaca blend paper in our Seattle studio. This tree free earth friendly paper is made with every effort to conserve water and resources. We add no chemicals or other agents to ensure that our process is as environmentally friendly as possible. We are happy to offer 100% post industrial waste recycled handmade papers as well.

Thank you for your interest in our invitations! The invitations pictured here represent styles we can make for you, or assist you in building yourself. Prices on this page are listed “As Shown” for full assembly, and “Cost If You Construct” if we print and you assemble. The price is for what is pictured here and does not include envelopes or additional inserts as those come with their own miriad of choices. There is a wide range of possibilities in paper, design, and complexity of invitation. Pick the invitation style(s) you like, and start there! We can print your text directly on handmade paper. Overlay style invitations can be printed at home, or we can print them for you. Papers can be custom made or selected from our available Handmade Paper stock. Invitations can be simple flat panels, or more decorative with ribbons, pressed flowers, stickers, or botanicals. If you have any questions about our invitations, please contact us and we can help guide you through the choices. 1.888.294.1526
