A NOTE ON OUR WORK
We believe the first piece of paper your guests hold should already tell them something true.
About the two of you. About the day ahead. About the kind of care that runs through every part of it. Stationery, made well, is never a formality. It is the opening line of your love story, pressed into cotton and sealed before the day begins.
FULLY CUSTOM
The Heirloom Suite
Wholly yours, from the first sketch
Reserved for couples who want their stationery designed entirely around them. Every motif, monogram, paper weight, and printing method chosen for your day alone. Often illustrated. Always pressed by hand in our Louisiana studio.
CURATED DESIGN
The Semi-Custom Suite
Designed in studio. Made yours in the details.
A library of suites, each one originally designed for a real couple, now offered to a small number of brides who see themselves in the work. Personalized in your colors, wording, and finishes.
Three presses. Two artists.
One studio in Ponchatoula.
Everything that leaves InvitoBella is pressed by hand on antique machines we know by name — Bella, Lagertha, and Opal. We work in cotton, in foil, in deep impression on heavyweight stock. The method is chosen for your suite, never the other way around.
THE CRAFT
Foil Stamping
The method closest to our hearts.
Each design pressed deep into cotton paper, leaving an impression you can feel before you read. Printed on Lagertha, our 1899 Chandler & Price floor press.
Letterpress
Light, caught and held.
Heat and pressure marry metallic foil to fine paper, producing a finish that shifts and gleams as your guest turns the page. Pressed on Opal, our hot foil press.
Digital Printing
Refined color, faithfully rendered.
Reserved for suites where saturation, illustration, or fine gradient detail are central to the design. Always paired with the same papers as our pressed work.
I’m Ashley - and paper has always moved me.
A WORD FROM THE STUDIO
The weight of it. The way ink sits on cotton. The moment a finished suite comes together and becomes something a couple will hold onto forever.
I started InvitoBella in 2011, and I press every suite alongside my husband Jason in our studio in Ponchatoula, on three presses we know by name.
