National Stationery Show 2013

The National Stationery Show always brings a sense of renewed love for old favorites & wide-eyed lust for new discoveries. This year was no different. Watercolor, gold foil, hand script & letterpress decor were just a few of the things that caused us to fall under the paper goods spell, once again.

Memorial Day Delight

Memorial Day marks the official start of picnic season, and we are ready! Our favorite trend in the paper world lends to our entire all-american inspiration board -- Gingham. From invites to outfits, the classic pattern is making it's way off the picnic table. Throw in some ice cream & hot dogs, and you've created the perfect gathering for friends and family.

Thank you to the men & women who gave the ultimate service to this country, allowing our freedoms of life, liberty & love to stand strong!

Art That Inspires

The most beautiful stationery is one that tells a story. Each design and typeface reflects the individuals. This can be a lofty goal to reach in the design world, but that is when everything you encounter becomes an inspiration. One of our favorite ways to stretch our creative minds is to look outside the world of paper. Below are a few of our favorite art pieces & artists that have inspired us to stretch our imaginations & talents beyond expectation. {click here to view more}

Mrs. Kennedy!

If you've visited our shop, then you know Wynne - the sweetest girl we know and our lead designer extraordinaire! Inviting Affairs wouldn't be what it is today without her creativity, spirit & laughter. Thank you, Wynne! 

Wynne recently became MRS. Kennedy and we couldn't wait to share some of her beautiful moments captured by the fabulous Bend The Light Photography.
