***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’m getting married in May, so can definitely put this to good use. We’re inviting 75, so expecting around 50, which is just right for the location.
Jala says
INVITE ME!
We had a all family and friends and friends of parents etc. wedding and had I to do it over again I would probably keep it small and intimate! Our wedding was outdoors and was really pretty but I so many times wish we would’ve limited it to our family and close friends….
Deb Shanahan says
Invite me!
Actually, my 22-year-old daughter who’s planning a wedding while finishing college and pinching pennies while trying to have her dream wedding and accommodate two large families. Sometimes the size of the wedding is dictated by the size of your family!
Brigid says
INVITE ME! I want a small-ish event with my closest family and friends – I DO NOT want to be spend my whole reception meeting random extended family members for the first time! :)
Suzanne says
INVITE ME
Jennifer says
INVITE ME!
I prefer a smaller, more intimate shindig, but nothing beats a rockin’ party no matter how many people are invited… just as long as everyone there loves you!
Jan says
INVITE ME! and everyone I’ve ever loved!
Barbara says
INVITE ME!

melanie says
INVITE ME! I prefer small, intimate weddings.
Dana Beth says
INVITE ME! we had the big wedding which I loved but part of me thinks a destination wedding someplace tr\opical would’ve been AWESOME!
(and this would make the best engagement gift for my baby sister!!!!)
Tara S says
Invite me..
I am a fan of big weddings. I have a pretty big family and weddings are a blast. We had a little under 200 people at ours and, for us, it was perfect. Hope you have a very happy anniversary!! Clara is one lucky daughter!
Elizabeth says
Invite me… because my best friend is getting married and as maid of honor, I imagine a better gift to give her! They want all of their closest friends and family there and I can’t wait to celebrate with them!
Bridget says
INVITE ME!
I prefer smaller, more intimate gatherings. I think it helps in driving home a focus on authenticity rather than pretense.
jane says
Invite Me!
I had a pretty large event with a lot of fam and friends, but if I had to do it all over again, I’d make it tiny on the beach at Big Sur.
Great giveaway….thanks!
Brit says
Invite me!
Intimate gatherings for me! I like being able to talk to everyone and have a good time with those I love the most.

Invite me! I love a simple backyard wedding with close friends and family!
Ellie says
INVITE ME!!
Attempting to make it intimate and romantic, while still inviting all of our friends and family!!!

Jennifer says
INVITE ME! Definitely small and intimate for me.
Stacy Ludington says
INVITE ME!
My upcoming wedding is going to be filled with family and close friends. However, a lot of people fall into that category! Nothing is more special than getting to share that special day with everyone we love and hold dear in our hearts :)
Lauren C says
INVITE ME!!
It was a tough choice, an intimate celebration sounds amazing but I couldn’t imagine my family and friends not being there.
rebann says
INVITE ME!
I could see my wedding going either way — large with extended family and lots of friends or an intimate few with immediate family — but the reception would definitely be come-one, come-all!
Cheri says
Invite Me!!!
Possible daughter wedding next summer — just lost my job…this would be very helpful!
Rose says
“INVITE ME!”
Tracie @ Gurtler+Home says

Our wedding was wonderful last year. We had more people than I expected, but I was so glad that I was able to share the day with everyone.
Kate (and Ben) says
INVITE ME!
We’re eloping with my sister and his better-than-a-brother friend. Then we’ll be coming home to a HUGE celebration party filled with everyone we love!

Leesha Cermak says
INVITE ME!
We’re getting married this February, and although we initially thought we’d be having a small intimate ceremony, we’re realized that those don’t work well for big Catholic families. ;)
Cristy says
INVITE ME!
We had a San Diego destination wedding for his Illinois-based family and a hometown wedding for my side of the family. It was perfectly sized about about 130 people…just enough to have all of those that we love the most there! (Now it is my sister’s turn, trying to win this for her.)
April says
INVITE ME!
We chose to have our wedding an hour out of town and just big enough to invite those that we love the most. Can’t wait…and oh, I can’t wait to do invites!
Jessica says
INVITE ME! :)
I love the intimate weddings, but would have to cram in all of my family and friends!
Cristyann says
INVITE ME!
The whole family has got to be there!!! It wouldn’t be a party without them.
Katie, The Design Apprentice says
Invite me, I love a large family and friend oriented wedding! P.S. Happy Anniversary!

INVITE ME!
We’re planning a big affair, but I secretly wish for a small, intimate wedding with only our closest friends.

I got engaged in May, and we’re planning on a small destination wedding in Hawaii! I prefer small and intimate.

INVITE ME!
I’m all about small, cozy, personal events!

Destination wedding, with only a few attendees. :) That was our choice and it’s less than three weeks away.

Courtney B says
INVITE ME!
I should soon be engaged and have toyed with the idea of a destination wedding, but think I may stay home and have everyone head to the farm for the big day!
Ashlee says
Invite Me!! Big Wedding for me…I need all the help I can get!
Letty says
INVITE ME!
I got engaged in February so this would come in soooo handy! I like the idea of a small and intimate wedding, but am also strongly considering having a destination wedding :)
RachelW says
INVITE ME! To an elegant & intimate affair… If only we could decide on the date!
