| Everyone’s
Favor-ite For PrintingPress 2.0 users, type each guest’s name below your image. We used the new Brina font from Fonts and Graphics 3. Inspired by Mountaincow’s youngest designer, Brina is an authentic rendition of a child’s handwriting. To print a return address for each guests’ stationery, create a reply envelope without a return address. Make the address small and move it to the top center of the envelope as if you’re looking at the back of the envelope. Don’t forget to feed the printer so the address is on the back flap of the envelope! We used Deep Red envelopes to go with our white A2 folded note cards. Platinum users can add the image to an inner envelope so they don’t have to type each child’s name. You can even add a tiny version of the image used on the stationery to the envelopes above the return address. Our cow is on a white A2 folded note card paired with Clover envelopes.

The invitation clearly explains the theme of the party, aided by new travel graphics from the Fonts and Graphics 3 Collection. The new fonts include European accented characters so serve up the béchamel and the brûlé! To help you divvy up the countries (and avoid getting 6 pots of fondue), include a place card with each invitation, printed with the guests’ name and the country from where they are assigned to make a native dish. We used more new graphics to carry out the international theme and assign the countries. All the text is written in Noodles, a new font from Fonts and Graphics 3. The invitation is printed on white A6 cards and paired with Dusty Blue envelopes.

| Oh
what a night! PrintingPress users can import the bridesmaids that look most like the wedding party and line them up at the top of the invitation. The two fonts used for the text are both from the new Fonts & Graphics for Weddings Collection. The elegant script font is the new Alyssa Black Tie and the block type is Benjamin Caps. Using two fonts on an invitation can be striking when the styles of the fonts are so different, they complement each other. We used white A6 cards and Dusty Blue envelopes to coordinate with the blue bridesmaid dresses, but Mountaincow’s Classic Stationery has a wide assortment of envelopes to match your wedding colors. Platinum users can take advantage of one of the 117 new background images offered in the new Fonts & Graphics 3 collection. Pink and brown circles offer a trendy backdrop to feature another new font, Meegles. This handwriting font is both casual and chic. We used flat white A6 cards with Chocolate envelopes to match the text color.

Hats
off to the grad We used two new fonts for the standard PrintingPress invitation. Benjamin Caps Shadow and Alyssa Black Tie are available on Fonts & Graphics for Weddings – though they prove you don’t have to use them only for wedding stationery! We used the block type for all the text except the grad’s name which was written in script to stand apart. The purple text matches the simple mortarboard hat, and the invites are paired with Violet envelopes. The Platinum design uses one of the 115 borders from the Fonts and Graphics 3 collection. This geometric design of orange and brown boxes offers a masculine and mod style to the invitation. The new font, Ryan Drop Cap, can also be found on Fonts & Graphics 3. Deep orange envelopes match the invitation border.
