InvitationBox, Chicago

From polished and sophisticated wedding invitations to quirky and whimsical greeting cards, InvitationBox gives every piece of mail its own distinct voice. Part of that is due to its diverse roster of designers, whose work encapsulates all parts of the aesthetic and tonal spectrum: fashionable, formal, sassy, simple, and memorable. Factor in engraved, letterpress, and raised-text printing options, as well as crystal-shimmer or postconsumer-recycled paper, and you have customized cards and invitations with enough personality to charm a jury-duty summons into asking a bit more nicely.

InvitationBox’s versatile designs account for all sorts of events and occasions. Wedding invitations announce themselves with elegant visual fields and tasteful lettering, while birthday-party invitations, baby announcements, and holiday cards speak with a playful tone and a tasteful appearance. InvitationBox also stocks cards for religious and nonsecular holidays and offers accessories such as embossers, self-inking stamps, and gifts.
