***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’re definitely going for the smaller and more intimate wedding, probably a guest list that won’t span more than 100 people, at most. We’d like our wedding day to be smaller so we can be sure to spend more time with everyone personally!
:)

INVITE ME!!
My husband and I had a large wedding with all of our family and friends..

INVITE ME!
My honey and I are planning our small garden party wedding for this fall. Just close friends and family surrounding us on that special day.
clare says
INVITE ME!
I think both large and small weddings in all kinds of destinations are just perfect … the most important thing is that the bride and groom have the people around them that are most important to them and enjoy their special day :)
Leigh Ann says
INVITE ME!!!
I love all weddings- big & small!
Stefani says
INVITE ME! I am engaged and we are planning a big family and friends filled wedding for next May! I’m so excited!
Kathleen says
INVITE ME!!
My daughter just got married in May and we did a large (for us–400+ people) wedding. It’s what she wanted—I think you do what the couple wants—we just had to make choices that we may not have had to if we had only had 200 guests, but that was fine with them. They just wanted to invite all their friends and family—fun, fun, fun!
Ashley Zaepfel says
INVITE ME!

INVITE ME!
PRETTY PLEASE!
I’m planning my May, 2011 wedding right now. And, I want a small, intimate wedding. However, I’m torn as I’d lose many friendships and family connections if I opt for an intimate gathering.
My ideal wedding is on the beach in Hawaii with less than 40 guests. And, I began planning my dream wedding (I was a week away from putting down a deposit with the planning agency). But, my large family (close to 100 cousins and a minimum of 30 aunts and uncles) have threatened to rip me a new one if they aren’t all invited.
So, my dream wedding is on hold. And, I’m having a big, fat, New York wedding that will keep the peace. I could really use these invites.
The notion of paying almost $100 per plate for this large of a wedding and all of the other expenses makes me nauseous.
Candace G. says
Invite me! We got married last year with 100 guests… Looking back, I could afford to remove about 50 guests and be perfectly happy. Small and intimate for sure!
Kristen A. says
INVITE ME!
We’ll be having probably about 140-150 people at our wedding… to me that’s pretty big!
Jessie says
INVITE ME!
We just got engaged last week! We are planning a fall 2011 wedding with lots of family and friends in Vermont!

Invite me!!
We are almost (in relative terms) done with yet another remodel on our 1962 home and want to have an open house! How perfect!!

INVITE ME!
I can’t decide. Big weddings are fun but small weddings are nice and intimate. Agh it’s a tough one!
Shoshana says
INVITE ME!
My fiance and I are planning a very intimate gathering to celebrate our marriage–approximately 60 people in my parent’s lovely, garden-filled backyard. We are working with a limited budget, and incorporating a lot of DIY projects, but it would be wonderful to offer beautiful, professional invitations to our guests. Many thanks for hosting this giveaway!
sam k says
INVITE ME, please!
We had 150 family and friends at our wedding celebration in 2005 and loved every minute! we too, did many things ourselves and it was a lot of fun. Happy Anniversary!
Veronica says
INVITE ME!
I prefer small weddings where people can really talk and have a good time.
Jamie S. says
INVITE ME! When my husband and I were planning our wedding, I really wanted a small, intimate destination wedding with only our closest friends and family. My husband wanted a big traditional wedding with all of our friends and family. So we ended up having a big wedding, but with sweet, fun, casual touches. It was very laid back and relaxed and we had the time of our lives. It was a little bit of both and perfect!
pippin says
INVITE ME!
Our wedding next summer will be a destination wedding by a river in the Colorado mountains. 60 people on the invite list, all of which have some how helped us become the people we are today.
Heather says
INVITE ME!
I love all parties, but I’m really partial to small and intimate gatherings.
Julie @ Connell Tales says
INVITE ME!
Oh these are beautiful! Our wedding was definitely large, but if I won these, they’d go to my sister who’s planning a more intimate affair. Thanks! :)
Micaela says
INVITE ME!
I love to have a big party, casual, with friends, family and the kiddos!
samantha says
we had a small affair on the beach with our close friends and family present, it was perfect! Congrats on 3 fabulous years!
Laura says
“Invite me!”
We had a wonderful “traditional” wedding, but if I did it all over again I would fly off to an island! I loved my wedding but it was expensive and stressful… a destination wedding seems so much easier!
susannah says
invite me please!
Steve says
INVITE ME!
The more the merrier…big wedding.
Andie says
INVITE ME! I’d love to have a smaller intimate wedding with our closest friends and family but my family is huge, its hard to decide who gets an invite and who doesn’t, so it’ll end up being larger than we’d prefer.
April says
Invite me!
I’ve grown accustomed to large family-and-friend-filled events. But weddings are lovely either way!
Brooke says
Invite me! We’re having a huge 200+ wedding in my fiance’s hometown. You can follow mw on weddingbee, I’m Miss Sand Dollar! ;)
Jo says
invite me! I wouldn’t say no to a castle in Scotland, but small and close-to-home suits me, too.
Jenny says
INVITE ME! We’re having a small intimate wedding next spring. Love those invites!
Denise says
INVITE ME!! We had a medium-sized weddding – about 250 people – but we both have large families and the rest were all friends who we really wanted to attend. I’m glad we did it that way – I love a dance floor full of people celebrating.
I’m the maid of honor for my sister’s wedding next year and these invitations would be perfect for her event!
Sara says
INVITE ME!
I want to have a family and close friends wedding. I also want it to be fun with alot of dancing! :)
Nikki Steele says
INVITE ME!!
A small intimate wedding is the way to go in my books!
Shelly P. says
Invite Me! I loved the pictures from your backyard wedding. I’m definitely into something more low key and small, but I’ve got to find the groom first!
Lindsey says
INVITE ME!!
I’m currently planning… well starting to think about planning, my destination wedding (in the Bahamas!) so this would be perfect!
Melissa says
Invite Me!
Brandy says
Invite me!!
Lots of friends and family…but no dance teachers from 10 years ago. Only people who support my marriage and my choices. Good vibes only.
Bri says
INVITE ME!
When my husband and I got married, we opted for a smaller, more intimate family wedding in the small town I grew up in. That way, my grandparents could attend, which was very important. I loved every minute of it!
Ria says
INVITE ME! I want to have a backyard wedding at our new house! (just like you did!)
Tara M says
Invite me…
I have a big fun family so I am all about a big fun event.
Gina says
Invite me… to a large gathering with family and friends.
Kaitlin says
INVITE ME!
My fiance and I would prefer a large gathering with all our family and friends – having everyone together is a rare opportunity!
Kimberly says
Invite me!
I’m currently trying to decide between a large wedding or a destination wedding!
Brittney says
INVITE ME! I want a small gathering. Think a dinner party. Except for the BF, he has a large family out east and wants to have a wedding there. One day, I might be planning a wedding from across the country. Thank goodness, his mom will be a huge help.
Jovanna R says
INVITE ME!
I would prefer a small gathering of close family and friends next to the beach somewhere. Then coming home to a big reception for our extended family. We have HUGE families so it’s a must.
Wendy says
INVITE ME!
I’m all about the small and intimate events. Why surround yourself with a bunch of people you don’t truly adore? Most weddings I’ve attended have been packed with people who are strangers to the bride and groom or people they felt they had to invite to appease parents or relatives. I say go for quality rather than quantity!
Kate says
INVITE ME!
We did a large wedding and loved having everyone there!
Crystal says
INVITE ME!!!
We had a very intimate destination wedding at sunrise in the Outer Banks. It was beautiful!
Caitlin says
INVITE ME!
a smaller, more intimate affair is much more my style — but it has to include all the people i love!
