There’s something truly special about letterpress. The texture, the weight, the way it feels in your hands—every detail creates a sense of understated luxury that never goes out of style. Our Priya letterpress wedding invitations are a beautiful example of that timeless elegance.

With its crisp impression, delicate monogram, and subtle, sophisticated typography, Priya is a beautiful choice for couples seeking a formal yet fresh look.

Whether you're planning a formal black-tie wedding or simply love the classic beauty of letterpress, this suite is the perfect mix of tradition and modern refinement, and brings a fresh perspective to luxury wedding invitations.

A Sense of Balance in the Typography

The typography in Priya is all about balance—between tradition and modernity, structure and softness. A classic serif font sets the tone, bringing a formal, timeless feel to the layout. The couple’s names are slightly larger and set apart with generous spacing, creating a natural focal point without overwhelming the rest of the suite.

Delicate touches of italic type are used sparingly throughout, offering subtle contrast and a hint of movement. It's just enough variation to keep the design interesting, while still feeling cohesive and composed.

If you're drawn to traditional design but want something that still feels current, Priya strikes that balance beautifully.

Designer Tip: Stuck on how to word your invitation? Our designers are here to help you craft etiquette-approved wording that fits your tone and format, but we also have plenty of examples to help you get started.

Wedding Invitations with a Custom Monogram

Placed above the couple’s names, Priya’s custom monogram adds a personal touch to the overall design. A hand-drawn leaf motif gently connects the couple’s initials, bringing an organic element to an otherwise classic layout.

The overall design feels natural and refined, with delicate lines and subtle sentiment. The monogram also features the couple’s wedding year—a small detail that adds meaning without distracting from the overall design.

What we love most about this monogram is its versatility—it’s elevated enough to lead a formal invitation, but soft enough to feel personal and romantic. It can easily be carried across your entire stationery suite, from save the dates to welcome signs.

The Letterpress Printing Style

This Priya suite is printed using traditional letterpress printing—an artisanal process that presses your design into soft cotton paper, creating a deep, tactile impression.

It’s shown in soft black ink on white cotton paper, which offers a crisp contrast while keeping the look classic and neutral. The impression is distinct and easy to feel, yet the paper itself is soft to the touch, creating a luxurious balance of depth and delicacy.

You can also choose to upgrade to double-thick cotton paper for even more presence and weight in hand, or opt for ivory cotton for a warmer tone.

Letterpress is all about craftsmanship—and the simplicity of the Priya design highlights that beautifully.

Finishing Touches: Envelope Addressing Options

To simplify your mailing process, Shine offers a range of guest and return addressing options that can be added to your suite for a seamless, polished presentation.

Available options include:

• Guest addressing on the outer envelope in your chosen font
• Guest names printed on inner envelopes for a formal, traditional touch
• Return addressing on both the outer and response envelopes

These services not only save time, but also ensure your suite looks complete and coordinated—right down to the envelope.

Designer Tip: All addressing services are completely optional, so you can choose the combination that works best for your style, budget, and guest list—whether that's a full set or just return addressing to save time.

Make Your Wedding Invitations Your Own

The Priya suite is endlessly versatile. Every detail, from ink color to embellishments, can be tailored to reflect your unique wedding style.

Choose your preferred ink and envelope colors, then add layers of texture and dimension with silk ribbon, vellum jackets, wax seals, or a simple belly band to hold everything together. Envelope liners are also available and offer a beautiful way to tie in your wedding colors or add a layer of visual interest to your envelope presentation.
