***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! so we can invite all of our family and closest friends!!
Devon says
Invite me…to be your matron of honor at a destination wedding in Nicaragua this December, as my newly engaged friend Cheri recently did.
Jess says
INVITE ME!
We debated between a mountain wedding in Colorado, or a big one in our home state of Indiana. In the end, we chose to have a large wedding at home so that we could celebrate with all of our friends and family–SO worth it!
Eileen says
INVITE ME!
I would have liked a smaller wedding. But really, as long as the people fit the venue, I don’t mind if it’s medium-big. I got married in a huge church, and really wish it was a smaller one. Even with the big list we had, we only filled half the church. A place filled to the brim feels right to me.

invite me!
the less family the better!
Alison says
INVITE ME!
We’d like a wedding with as many friends and family as possible…or as many as our budget allows!
Alison Mahoney says
Invite Me!
Destination wedding at Staniel Cay, Exumas, Bahamas. Family only.
Joanne says
Invite me…to a beautiful at home DIY wedding on the West Coast!!!
Jessica Cantrell says
“INVITE ME!” PLEASE!!
I am recently engaged and I am most certainly for an intimate wedding! Although what constitutes intimate? Is it 10 guests, or can it be 100? I hoping for an offbeat intimate ceremony of about 50, all on an incredibly small budget. In my mind it’s all about the marriage, not the wedding. So we are going to make it as personal and non-circus like as possible all on a tight budget so we can start our lives together and still be debt free! Winning this prize would be awesome!!! Thanks for such a great helpful blog you guys, you rock!!
Elizabeth says
INVITE ME!!
I’m newly engaged and so excited for our wedding day early next summer! We are looking forward to a pretty big wedding with lots of close friends and family that have been in our lives and are important to us. The guest list is one of the hardest things to make!!
{The Classy Woman} says
INVITE ME!!
I always loved the thought of having a huge wedding-it seems so glamorous and so much fun but we are all about close family and friends and both have very small families. Including our wedding party, we had 55 people in total which was perfectly intimate for us. If I could do it again I would still keep it small (100 people would be perfect) and maybe do something different like a beach or destination wedding, even though our venue was beautiful.
These invites are GORGEOUS!!

Simply beautiful! We’re three months out from our Denver wedding…perfect timing for invites! :)
Melissa says
Invite me! I want a small, informal affair.
Paula says
INVITE ME to more intimate, close family & friends events!
Anna says
INVITE ME… I’m engaged and broke! Help me out here!
Emma L - Wohoo! says
INVITE ME!!!
We’re currently in the early stages of planning our wedding, and wow, I suddenly understand why people hire wedding planners and go on vacation while the whole thing is being taken care of at home! Ideally, we’ll just have a small ceremony in the woods somewhere, but knowing our friends and family, someone is bound to get mortally offended if they don’t make the guest list… perhaps a small wedding, but with a big post-wedding bash at a pub somewhere, after the honeymoon?
Courtney says
INVITE ME!
Oh, I have a large immediate family, so I don’t think I could ever get away with a smaller intimate event, even if I wanted to!
Haley (Cardigan Junkie) says
Invite Me!
I prefer a large/intimate wedding – all family and close friends, which is what I’m trying to do on a budget in September. I don’t have any invites yet so I’d love to win these!
Krystle Brown says
“INVITE ME!” I love a large friend-family filled event!
Emily Pearl says
Invite me!
I’d prefer a destination wedding–those that really love you will make the trip!
Devon says
INVITE ME PUH-LEEEEASE!!!
I would prefer my upcoming wedding to large and in charge, so my main squeeze and I could celebrate our love with everyone we know. However due to budget constraints our guest list will be hacked down for a much more intimate affair.
Jennifer says
INVITE ME…I tend to appreciate the smaller and more intimate parties :).
Jenn says
INVITE ME….my wedding was about 100 people and that was perfect for me!
Ashley says
INVITE ME! My fi and are planning a small, intimate wedding – unless my future mother-in-law gets her hands on our guest list :)
Jonesy says
INVITE ME!
when my husband and i got married it was insane. we had been together for four years at the time and knew we were going to get married, but hadn’t started planning at all. then he got an offer to do shows in a few countries in europe (he’s a musician) and they included an extra plane ticket. so we were like “we should get married now so that the trip could be our honeymoon cause there’s NO way we’re swinging someplace as fresh as that ourselves!!” lol. that left us 57 to plan the wedding. and actually, my husband was on a us tour at the time so i had to plan it myself. FUN!
because of these things we ended up having a small wedding that was SO much fun! i don’t know if it’s because of this fact that i’m partial to small weddings, but i am. to me, they just feel like they are more about the celebration of the couple as opposed to the big “party”. i’ve been to some gorgeous big weddings. GORG-JESS weddings. but i have almost no memories of interaction with the people tying the knot.
Amy G. says
INVITE ME!! I am getting married next April and I want to have a small, relaxed affair. Even though I definitely want a smaller wedding, my location sealed the deal with a cap on guests!
Emily S says
INVITE ME!
While the intimacy and romance of a small get-together has it’s place, there’s nothing like an all-out, raging celebration with everyone you know in attendance! Go big or go home!!
Catherine says
Invite me! I love invitations! I have always been a big nerd for paper. We’re going for family and friends and trying to keep it under a 100 = very hard though!
katy says
Invite me! I’d invite my whole family, which means that I’d be having a huge event!
Rebecca Schoolcraft says
Invite me! We are having a small friends and family wedding. I prefer intimate celebrations to the some of the huge all-out parties I’ve been to (which are memorable but often not for the people getting married).
Leanne says
INVITE ME! We’re planning a big family and friends affair for next summer…and trying to save our pennies where ever we can. I’ve already pulled some ideas from your fabulous backyard wedding. Thanks for the inspiration!!! :)
Ashley Stinson says
INVITE ME!!!!!
My husband and I had a big wedding full of friends & family. But a small intimate wedding somewhere exotic sounds pretty fabulous… maybe we can renew our vows! :)
tara says
INVITE ME! Hubby and I had a relatively small church wedding and a brunch reception. Just family and a couple friends…about 55 people (hubby has a big fam!). If I could do it again I think I’d go even smaller…maybe even a destination wedding!
Lisa says
Invite me!
I like a mid-sized wedding in our beautiful town of Charleston, SC!
Allison Blakeley says
INVITE ME!
I love small get togethers. My wedding has become so personal and such a reflection of us, that I only want to share it with those closest to me.
That being said, big giant weddings can be a lot of fun, and I love going to them :)
Amy H. says
INVITE ME!!!!!!
I am going to have a larger wedding with all family and friends, co-workers, etc. Thanks for hosting this giveaway!
Caroline says
INVITE ME!
We have just set our date for May 7th next year…we prefer intimate, as we want to make sure we can spend time with everyone there…tho it’s all relative really – one couple’s intimate is another’s big!
Sonia says
INVITE ME!
I think I’d like a small, intimate wedding with a huge blowout reception a couple weeks later : )
Melissa M. says
Invite me!
I have a lot of important people in my life- so it will definitely be a large affair! :)
Becky S says
Invite me!
Wow, I think I’m in love. We’re planning on getting married as soon as we’re allowed to legally. It will probably be a small event. I bookmarked that site, they’re all gorgeous.
Maggie D says
INVITE ME!
Our wedding (7/8/6), had all our close friends and family, but we have huge families, so it was a large wedding. We are expecting this August, so if I win hopefully this giveaway will work for birth announcements for our little girl.
Natalie says
INVITE ME!
I prefer a somewhat large, family wedding. We had 140 people at our outdoor wedding and it was perfect!
My sister JUST got engaged last night, and they want to have a destination wedding with a big reception after the honeymoon. These invites would be the PERFECT engagement gift for them! :)
Alison T says
INVITE ME!!!
I just got engaged this weekend!!! I am hoping for a romantic, intimate service with a blowout party to follow! Good food, good friends, and vows- That’s my day!
Molly Star says
INVITE ME!
We had a pretty big wedding and have now been married over 9 years. While there was something wonderful about having all those people in one place–friends, family, and loved ones–there were people I regret inviting, it was a whirlwind, and an expensive one at that. If we were do it again, I’ve often thought we would have 20 people max. in our own backyard. Intimate, simple, and without the show– save the money for something grand.
Erica Sparkenbaugh says
INVITE ME!
I would totally give this prize to friends of mine who recently got engaged and are going to start planning a wedding for next fall. Even better is that they are also devoted to YHL!
Allison says
INVITE ME! I like attending big weddings. So many more people to get to meet, dance with, and chat with.
Brooke V says
INVITE ME!
I loved our big fancy wedding! I wouldn’t have had it any other way…unless of course we couldn’t have afforded it. :)
mel zeiger says
INVITE ME!!!
we wanted an intimate wedding with close friends and family, like 50 people, but ended up with over 250 guests, that “had” to be on the list. it was still perfect :)
Rowenna says
INVITE ME!!
We will hopefully getting married this December in my hometown. Our families and friends are both scattered, so I have no idea how many people will show up, but as long as the people who are important to us are there, it doesn’t matter if it’s big or small. These invitations would let us jump start the inviting process and figure that out sooner though!
Rachel says
Invite me! We’re having an intimate farm wedding. At least, I’m hoping to keep the guest list short! My mom would prefer a lavish affair, but it’s not her wedding. :)
