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.

About the paper that we use at Of The Earth:

We use two types of paper at Of The Earth. One is Lotka paper and it is made from the bark of the Daphne bush which provideds a naturally regenerating renewable resource. All lotka envelopes and paper are 50% recycled. This paper is acid free and your purchase will benefit the economic enterprise of rural craftspeople in Nepal. Some of the lotka paper will bloom if planted.

We also make 100% cotton paper (among other fibers) in our Seattle paper making studio. All of our papers are tree free and earth friendly. We make every effort to conserve water and resources in making our paper. 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 paper upon request at no additional charge.
