Are you kidding me? These are precious! I love so many of them. However, I absolutely LOVE the paisley invite with charcoal grey type and image with a Champagnium envelope and backer, and a green envelope liner. Swoon!

My fiance and I immediately agreed on the Verona invitation. We’d love to see the design and invitation mat in wicked green with the text in navy. This invitation appeals to our classic taste (and venue – a converted tobacco warehouse) while keeping with the clean, modern look we’re hoping to achieve on our wedding day. Plus, wicked green seems to be the perfect green we’ve been looking for as an accent to our love affair with all things navy & white – not too preppy, not too apple!

Thanks for this great contest!

I love the peony love! My wedding will be in late may of next year and I am so happy that these beautiful flowers will be in season.

We both love the silhouette invites on amethyst mats with black ink and the stardream pyrite envelopes. The classic look of these invites would add a great detail to our intimate restaurant wedding this November, where we are using mostly black & white with pops of bright color…and my shoes are purple! Thank you so much for offering such a great giveaway!

The mod winery would be so perfect for us! My fiance and I are huge wine fans, and we are going for a mod late 50’s-early 60’s vibe with everything for the wedding. These invites would fit us perfectly! I especially love that they so obviously invoke wine and wineries without having a bunch of grapes on the invite- which is definitely less my style.

Although I like the original brown ink, I know my fiance would be much happier with the red. After all, that’s our main wedding color, and the wine we drink constantly!

Our wedding will be high up on a mountain top in a meadow surrounded by beautiful pine forests. It’s a May celebration, and all of the yellow wildflowers will be blooming and beautiful! We’ve decided to use all different types of yellow flowers for our centerpieces and bridal party flowers…it will really pop against the backdrops of various shades of green. Therefore, the PEONY LOVE in yellow and gray are perfection in paper form for our wedding! I will actually be carrying a bouquet of pale yellow peonies (cross your fingers!), and my bridesmaids will each have yellow peonies in their bouquets as well. I love the whimsical romantic script on the invitation – it’s the type of harmony that we will strive to invoke when our guests open their invitations.

I love the paisley design because it fits the vintage feel of our wedding. Our colors are gray, violet, and an unknown accent color; our desired venue is still shaky on our date so i haven’t locked down an accent color yet. Ithink the design elements would be a charcoal gray. The ink would be violet and the mat probably will be rhodolite with a champagne colored envelope and wasabi envelope mat.

checking the invitations off the list would greatly help us out.

Thanks a bunch and good luck to all.

I like both the dandelion and dahlia invites. The dandelion because it has the rustic, comfortable feel we are going for; the dahlia because it has a comfortable feel with the flowers we are using for the ceremony. Ink would be charcoal and then I cannot decide if the graphic would be orange or aqua–either way the two colors would be tied in because they are the colors of the wedding.

These are gorgeous invites… I would love to win them!!

Brooke writes... {June 1, 2009 at 11:02 pm}

I really love the Adria design- I can’t decide if I would make the lace pattern bold with violet ink, along with the violet text and the amythest matting, or if I’d make it more subtle and use our accent color of a pale pink and keep the rest the bolder purple. Hmmm… Paperwhites suggests similar color schemes, and they all look so great!

This is a really fabulous suite. It would fit in so well with our wedding’s classic, lacy theme. I’d want to bring in the other paper products in the suite to our wedding, too- the menus and thank you notes and programs in the Adria suite are all beautiful!

And I’m more than a little excited that this contest ends exactly one year before our big day!

The tulip design will fit perfectly with our May wedding !
We’re getting married in a beautiful quaint church surrounded by greenery. I would pick magenta as the accent color with charcoal font. I’d like to have a hint of green somewhere too… maybe the envelope?
Thank you for the site, I am now busy browsing their fun Save the Date cards!

This is not an easy choice, as they are all so classically beautiful, but I love the under the oak invitation suite as it reminds me of our fall wedding, which will hopefully be taking place outside under a similar oak tree!

I love the dahlia set. I am having a September wedding in Seattle and we are getting all of our flowers from a local dahlia farm and our colors are yellow/green/navy. I would want the text in navy, the flowers in yellow, the mat in either wasabi or envy, and the envelope in navy. We are getting married outside in a meadow and I want to emphasize the late summer feel of our wedding.

Michelle P. writes... {June 2, 2009 at 7:28 am}

The Scroll is GORGEOUS!!! I’m having a wedding at a castle next June and it has beautiful and plush gardens. The Scroll invitations would perfectly reflect the theme I want, ‘French Romance’.

I love the Summer design! It looks modern and exotic. Exactly what I’m going for!

Nicole writes... {June 2, 2009 at 7:50 am}

I’d LOVE LOVE LOVE to have the Oak Tree wedding invitations. It’s absolutely perfect, consider we’re getting married under an oak tree at our venue. Perfect! Also, I like the cocoa backing (again, perfect considering the bridesmatron dresses are a chocolate color) and would choose the wasabi color for the envelopes to spice it up. *haha!*

Oh wow, these are beautiful! The Hydrangea would be perfect for my wedding, since they are one of my main flower choices, and I’m getting married at a nature conservancy! I’d definitely have these printed in pale aqua and somehow incorporate yellow too, since those are our colors.

Lindsay writes... {June 2, 2009 at 10:04 am}

I love the mod winery invitations and they couldn’t fit our wedding theme more perfectly. We got engaged in Napa Valley and are going to be married in Boston. We share a love of wine and good food, and have decided that those interests will be the focus of our wedding day. We have all sorts of elements that we’re going to include (cork seating cards, a wooden shipping crate for our card box, wine glass vases etc.) and the beautiful invitations would be the whip cream and cherry to seal the whole deal. I think the kumquat color for the invitation mat and liner would be beautiful paired with charcoal gray text and yellow accents.

The Adria invitation is gorgeous… it has the feel of a vintage design with a modern twist. It would go perfect with my vintage garden wedding. My choice of colors (and I don’t know how I can decided because they are all so beautiful) would be softer. I would go with a charcoal ink color with a wicked as the mat color. I would love add some gold in, or possibly a yellow envelope.

Jen writes... {June 2, 2009 at 10:39 am}

We for sure both love the Silhouette invitation suite. Neither of us were really in to a monogram because his last name is two words, so the monogram looks awkward. We had decided on the silhouette as our “monogram” from the get go. This adorable invitation suite would be absolutely perfect with our “monogram”!!

Heather writes... {June 2, 2009 at 10:53 am}

I love how simple and elegant the bristol design is. We’re planning to use all gerbera daisies for our wedding. These invitations on ecru with brown ink, bronze mat, geisha envelopes, with possibly adding in some orange and/or pink (which are the other colors we’re using) would fit perfectly with out elegant but simple and fun ideas.

Our pick is “Ava” in the exact colors shown – violet ink with wicked envelopes! These colors are fun & playful and the design is whimsical…perfect for our dessert reception!

Vicki writes... {June 2, 2009 at 11:01 am}

Deciding on wedding invitations has definitely been one of the most difficult things my fiance’ and I have encountered in our planning. Paperwhites Press definitely stands out from the rest! The Caroline suite in navy on ecru paper with yellow topaz envelopes would be perfect for our elegant and formal wedding celebration. It would look wonderful with our navy, light butter yellow, and espresso brown colors!

Emily Ann writes... {June 2, 2009 at 11:01 am}

Wow! This is by far the best invitation giveaway that I’ve seen! Our winter wedding is going to take place in a renovated textile mill so I think that the Paisley invite sets the tone.

HEIDI writes... {June 2, 2009 at 11:21 am}

We would LOVE to have the Oak Tree wedding invitations. They go perfectly with our nature/folksy theme. It’s absolutely perfect! Perfect! We are having a small wedding (about 100) at a little Bed and Breakfast on Middle Bass Island in Ohio. We love the idea of the teal ink, aruba envelopes, and the tartan mat. Our colors are black, turquoisy teal (in lots of different shades) and we’re going to have fuschia flowers (with peacock feather accents). My bridemaids are all wearing the black dress of their choice and are all choosing a different shade of turquoise and teal shoe. My fiance and his fellas are wearing all black with skinny ties. My dress is ivory with a black sash and i’ll have peacock feathers in my hair. The oak invite will help us tie our outdoors theme together. Thanks! Oh and we’d probably choose Mrs. Eaves font =)

We are already incoroerating silhouettes in our wedding and it’s great to see invites with them also. Blakc ink, indigo envelopes, and kumquat mats would go well with our wedding colors.

we’re doing a black and white theme with a little bit of pink accent. I think the “scroll” invitations would be perfect in black and white, with our names in pink.

I love how majestic the tree is in the Under the Oak design. I’d leave the text and tree in brown, and have the mat in Yellow Topaz.

Laura writes... {June 2, 2009 at 6:20 pm}

We both love the Caroline wedding invitation. It would really fit the soft, romantic vibe of our venue and wedding. It has the flowers for the garden and the lacy pattern would match my dress. We’d leave almost all of the colors the same (charcoal grey text ink, river rock lining and mat) and change everything that was green to violet (design ink and orchid envelope). June 5 is also the one year for my wedding, so it would be very fitting to win these then :-)

love the VERONA style invitation suit…simple elegance. I want my invitations to give off a flair of simple elegance.

I love the Caroline set it is so simple and elegant.

I absolutely love the Charleston invitations. The design is stunning and I would love to incorporate something like it in other parts of our wedding, from the programs to table numbers. Our wedding colors are red, black and white (also our college colors) and our reception will take place in the ballroom at a beautiful alumni building on our campus. I would love to see the invites in geisha envelopes with a black liner, black text and design, and geisha matting.

I am in love with the “Caroline” design at Paperwhites Press. I was able to get a free sample of it sent to me and I am smitten! My fiance’ and I are getting married in November and have chosen eggplant and pumpkin as our colors. I was sent a sample of each color from Paperwhites Press and their samples were called Orchid and Sunstone. They are beautiful! I would use mainly orchid writing (except our names would be in sunstone/pumpkin). The matting would be orchid and the envelopes sunstone/pumpkin. Basically everything that’s grey in the picture would be orchid and everything that’s green in the picture would be sunstone/pumpkin. The orange ties in with the orange gerbera daisies that we are using as our main flower. My fiance’s mom passed away two years before I met him and gerbera daisies were her favorite flower. As an honor to her memory we are using pink, green, white, and orange gerbera daisies as our main flowers. (Our favors are packets of gerbera daisy seeds!) Basically any way that I can figure in gerbera daisies into our wedding, I’m going to do! I think the Caroline design fits in with our wedding being that our wedding is heavily “flower-based” and because our ceremony is taking place outside in a garden. They’d be perfect!!

Nicole R. writes... {June 4, 2009 at 10:19 am}

We absolutely love the Sail Away invitation design! We are planning a beach ceremony and reception at a yacht club near by. We think this would tie in perfectly with our theme!

Brandi writes... {June 4, 2009 at 9:23 pm}

I love VERONA in lime and black. My dress has a ribbon detailing, so we are pulling in ribbons into the centerpeices, flowers, etc. and the detailing at the top of Verona would match the ribbon effect I am looking for!

Angelique writes... {June 4, 2009 at 10:19 pm}

At the risk of sounding like a second-grader, if I weren’t marrying my fiance, I would totally marry the Kristen invitations. The beautiful design at the top is similar to the amazing detail of our reception site — a restored 1920’s movie theater — it reminds me of why we chose the theater in the first place. I’m thinking the Purple ink, with some Geisha accents (since my bridal posse are choosing their own dresses in red and purple) and even if I didn’t love it on looks alone, I would have to work the Little Lord Fontleroy font into there somewhere, because I am a sucker for a good pun. With the wedding we’re going for something elegant but not overly formal, vintage flair without being costumey or kitchy and I think that Kristen captures this balance perfectly – it’s just a perfect and lovely invitation. Thanks for this amazing opportunity!

I love the Tulip in yellow and Topaz mat. It’s perfect for our wedding color.

i loooove the winterberry invitations. they would be perfect for our simple winter wedding. i would want brown ink for the text and red for the design, on an ivory paper with brown envelopes. so amaizing.

My fiance and I love the Hydrangea in cornflower with purple text. Hydrangeas will be one of the primary flower in my bouquet (as well as in my bridesmaids’ bouquets), and our primary color is cornflower blue. Purple will most likely be our secondary color!

Love Caroline.
Would look awesome in cornflower blue.

My fiance and I love the hydrangea in cornflower with navy text. Hydrangeas are going to be the major flower for out wedding, and I think it would be adorable to carry that through the invitations as well!

I struggled with whether to enter this contest. For over a month, my fiance and I have been trying to design our own on Adobe Illustrator. Well, it turns out I have the vision but no artistic skill. And my fiance has been helping tremendously, even making an amazing map card, but after tens of hours struggling with the mouse, we may have to jump ship.

Our wedding is at the Japanese Friendship Garden in San Diego in September – all outdoor fun. We really want it to be fun event for all our guests. Our colors are yellow, white, and grey, so a little unconventional and funky. I’d love for our invitations to match. The Verona suite is beautiful, modern, and clean, so I love that one. I know my fiance would love the Oak suite because he loves nature, and I am from Kentucky where there are a ton of beautfiul oak trees, so it’s a plus! Hydrangea is also beautiful. We’d be so grateful to win any of your invitations.

I am in LOVE with Peony Love and recently ordered the sample!!! Our wedding is in a garden setting in Santa Barbara and this invite would perfectly reflect our vision! The Spring Green Ink would be perfect for the design (matchs my bridesmaids dresses exactly) and then I would use the Charcoal Gray ink for the text with the Rubelite Backer for the mat! This is an amazing give away and thanks for the opportunity to win!!!

AMY MEYERS writes... {June 5, 2009 at 11:20 am}

I saw the PEONY LOVE invitation and immediately knew that was the one! My bouquet will be all HOT PINK peonies and this invitation will set it off. The name is perfect…PEONY LOVE! There will be much love expressed and shared at our wedding. We are getting married in my mother’s backyard overlooking rolling hills and trees in Baraboo, Wisconsin. Her gardens are gorgeous and the day will be simply beautiful! Peonies, sunshine, pinks and greens and fun friends and family…I CAN”T WAIT! Thank you and happy planning to the rest of you! Amy

We love Andrea. Our venue has a gothic architecture feel and we think that these invitations incorporate that feel being both romantic and elegant at the same time. The purple is gorgeous. I absolutely love these invitations!!
