***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 just had our wedding last month and sadly, it didn’t go so well. Family drama kind of consumed the day and I was left pretty darn sad. We would use these invites for our 1 year vow renewal anniversary party. And no, the family who made the drama will not be invited :)
Annie says
Oooooh INVITE ME!!!
I have a huge extended family and just my guests alone are going to be more than 75. We’d love to have a small casual thing, though. If we had a backyard like yours, it would be awesome, but instead we have 20-something tall pine trees in the way. I already bought rubber stamps because I was going to DIY the invites, but if I can win this I would just have to find another use for them!
Kim J says
INVITE ME! I love family and friends around…but not TOO big.
Tara says
We had a really small wedding and an extravagant honeymoon. I sometimes wish we would have done the opposite. It would have been fun to have a huge wedding. Maybe we’ll make up for it with a big vow renewal ceremony one day!
The invitations are gorgeous. Would love to win for a friend’s baby shower!
Alicia says
INVITE ME!
Absolutely beautiful artistry on the invitations! To answer the question, I would prefer a smaller wedding. Close friends and family only.
Heather says
Invite me!
My love and I are going to be married in September, but since neither of us are big wedding people, there’s only going to be a small party at our place for a few of our friends and family to celebrate. Half housewarming, half reception!
S Chorey says
INVITE ME! I had a large wedding and if I had a do over, I would have had a much smaller one.
Katie says
INVITE ME!
I loved my big large italian wedding! It was a dream come true!

Invite me,
These are gorgeous! A destination wedding for sure!
Melissa Trew says
INVITE ME!
We couldn’t decide between large or intimate, so we did both! We had a beautiful destination wedding in Indian Rocks Beach, FL with just our parents, grandparents, and siblings. It was small and intimate and everyone there loved it. Then, when we got back from our honeymoon, we threw a huge party and invited 300 guests. It was like having two weddings, but without the stress, because once you’re married, none of the little details matter as much!
Ashley says
Invite me! I like an intimate setting!!!
Catherine says
INVITE ME!!!
I love big weddings with tons of people and great music!

I eloped, and had a small reception about a week later. It was very romantic. My sister is getting married this spring and it would be great for her to have some beautiful invitations.
Courtney says
INVITE ME!
I’d prefer a more intimate gathering of friends of family. Not getting hitched anytime soon but if I were it’d have to be outdoors with lots of handmade details…
Alisa says
INVITE ME!
We had a small-medium wedding with mostly family and great friends. I remember every person that was there…but mostly I remember the feeling of euphoria knowing the event we put so much heart into had been enjoyed by all of our guests!

Jessica B says
INVITE ME!
For ourselves we prefer large weddings because it is a great excuse to get friends and family together to catch up and celebrate!
Jessica says
INVITE ME! Definitely a large gathering… My extended family generally will make excuses to not come and visit except on the biggest occasions, so for a wedding, a big fun party please!

My wedding was smaller. My husband is Greek – so it had every chance under the sun to be massive – but both of us agree to this day that we loved our smaller, more intimate wedding!
These would be perfect for some baby shower invites :)
