***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!!!!
I was just browsing invitations tonight! I’m having a destination wedding in Playa del Carmen, Mexico in November. We sent out save the dates a few months ago and have a pretty definitive guest list but I know I still need to send out real invites. I was planning on making them by hand but I’m running out of time – these would be PERFECT for me! I LOVE her stuff, what an amazing win this would be. Thanks for the chance – and Happy Anniversary!!!
Kelsey says
INVITE ME! We had a small, family only backyard wedding and it was fabulous. I’m all for meaningful, family-oriented events, preferably on a small scale.

INVITE ME!
Im recently engaged and we cannot decide if we should go to Hawaii or have a local wedding…Its a hard decision. Ive asked a lot of people who are married and there advise is to go away and get married, most say that the wedding really ends up being for other people. I just keep going back and forth. I definately need some invitations though!!
Alyssa says
Invite me.
I prefer a “smallish” wedding like the one we had. We had 75 people and we knew EVERYONE there and had a chance to chat with all of them.
Mara T. says
INVITE ME!!!
I keep going back and forth about my dream wedding. I know it’s going to be small but I’m not sure if I’d do a destination wedding or just a small wedding with friends and family.

“INVITE ME!”
I’m not married “yet” but my boyrfiend and I have been together 5 yrs and I have tremendouse faith that we will be engaged soon. We’re huge fans of Joel Osteen and I recently heard a sermon called “Sunday is Coming” where Joel talked about a woman and her husband who had been trying to get pregnant for years and she kept her faith. He told of a story where he was in a meeting and the same woman who also worked for him, mentioned something about having her assistant trained well “so when she goes to have her baby she has nothing to worry about”. Joel asked his sister who was also in the same meeting if she was pregnant; his sister informed him she wasn’t but that she had kept the faith for many years. That’s the way I feel about finally getting married. HOPE! The woman was finally blessed, not only with one baby, but twins, after many years of trying!

I think its important to have everyone who has been an important part of the bride and the groom’s lives. The more the merrier!
Jill says
INVITE ME!
I had a small wedding with 50 people on the invitation list. It was great! My sister is having a bigger wedding arond 250! So we’lll see the difference between the two.
Jennifer says

My husband and I just bought our first house and I’m hoping to have a housewarming party- champagne and cupcakes themed! Two of the best things in life:)
heather foster says
INVITE ME! we are having a baby shower for my first grandbaby and it needs to be amazing. This would be such a lovely start.

Jan Stephens says
INVITE ME!
I love the idea of a wedding and reception where the bride and groom knows each and every person invited and enjoys their company. If that means small and intimate or large and over the top, then so be it. It’s their day. I prefer small and intimate with time enjoyed with each guest.
Becky says
Invite me! Will be married ten years in november! Large, loud and the best party ever!
Kristin F. says
INVITE ME!!
We’re getting married on 10-10-10 and are planning an Up! themed wedding with all our family and friends. We’re going to boogie the night away to the Beatles!
Kathy says
Invite me!
Congratulations on your upcoming anniversary! Ours is July 9th, but we have a few years on you – we’ve been married since 1978. But with a second daughter approaching marriage – we would love the invitation sets. I like smallish weddings – my oldest daughter had about 100 guests in attendance. My wedding was at my parent’s house on a lake with about 50 guests.
I love your blog!
Melissa says
INVITE ME!
Those invitations are beautiful!
We’re getting married next July and it’s going to be destination for everyone… down in a gorgeous garden in California. I’ve mostly been to small weddings and I think that’s more what we’d like to aim for (tight budget), but we’re both from giant close-knit Catholic families (Irish and Italian, what a pair!), so we’re having trouble figuring out how to get both family AND close friends within our venue’s 125 maximum allowance!
P.S. Happy anniversary!
Jonel says
INVITE ME…
I originally wanted something big (cause I have a large family) but I think I am going the destination route. Sort of selfish in away (don’t want to really invite some people) but it will be nice and intimate. I probably have some sort of reception at home later on for other people to celebrate with us.
Carol says
INVITE ME! I am the mother of two daughters who are BOTH getting married between now and June, 2011. Each wedding will have approximately 150 invited guests. I am BUSY with planning and would love to include some of these gorgeous invitations in the mix!

Katherine M. says
Invite me!
We are having a small wedding and a larger reception later.
Alison says
INVITE ME!
I’d like to plan a small, intimate wedding. I am generally not the type of person who likes to have all eyes on me (especially, lots and lots of eyes), so I’d rather keep it simple (for my sake!).
Ashley says
Invite Me! I like a smaller sized wedding.
Sara says
INVITE ME!
These are amazingly gorgeous! My sister (who is currently living in Maine) is getting married to her Greek prince in Edinburgh, Scotland this autumn and these invites would suit her small wedding perfectly! A small intimate affair is so much more memorable and intimate…especially when it’s thousands of miles away!
Fingers crossed!

Vanessa L says
INVITE ME!
This is so perfect because I am engaged! I’m having an intimate destination wedding in the rain forests of Costa Rica, and I wouldn’t want it any other way.
Brianna says

I’m planning my wedding now and it will be a fun, family, friend filled event. We’re having it in Richmond at the Main Street Station! I can’t wait, I’m trying to plan the most perfect night for everyone:)
Halle says
INVITE ME!
We had a traditional wedding filled with family and friends. It was wonderful!
My best friend is getting married in January and I am throwing the bridal shower. These invitations would be perfect for that occasion.

Carla says

Mindy says
My man and I have been together for 5 years and have been talking about eloping…I’m not one to have all eyes on me and would love to have an intimate ceremony with just him and I…Happy Anniversary!
Chris says
Invite me!
I prefer very small weddings personally (roughly 10 immediate family members attended mine), but I love to attend a nice, big, happy wedding for others!
Tiffany L says
Invite me!!
I had and loved a big ol’ wedding with lots of friends and family and a big ol’ reception with dancing and celebrating (my family’s big to begin so there’s no such thing as small and intimate), BUT my hubby and I are adopting our first baby and we would use as invites to the shower or announcements!
Rachel says
INVITE ME! We chose a small intimate wedding with family and friends. Wouldn’t do it any other way!
maria c. says
Invite me!! I would use the invitatios for my grandbabys first birthday. He is 9 monts now so I am already preparing for this blessed event. He is my first grandchild. We have been through some tough times but thank God every day is jsut another miracle. The invitations are so beautiful!!!! Thak you for this terrific giveaway

Family/friends wedding…which is intimate…and enormous. Children welcome!
Val says
INVITE ME! I am planning a small, intimate wedding for this September, no invitations yet and these are oh so pretty! We decided that a big wedding just wasn’t our style and really wanted to celebrate our day with those closest to us. Congratulations on your anniversary..many more happy ones to follow!
Katie says
INVITE ME!
After having the big family and friend affair I think I’d do a small destination wedding if I had it to do over.
Joanna says
Invite me!
My fiance and I want a small, intimate wedding, but with my huge family, we’re compromising with a medium-sized gathering.
Jenni says
INVITE ME…
I had a wedding of 200 ( invitations by Two Paper dolls!) and it was amazing! I am going to throw a housewarming/baby sip n sea with a bee theme and the ladies at Tpd would make it gorgeous!
Shannon says

Laure says
“INVITE ME!”
I had a medium wedding and it was perfect…only people who are really special to us were there…Invitations were a huge part of it…and I wish I knew about Two Paper Dolls!!! Too cute!
