Did you know the first monograms weren't on paper at all? They were actually stamped onto coins in ancient Greece to prove they were the real deal.

By the Renaissance, they became symbols of personal style and refinement. Today, when you choose Personalized Monogram Stationery ​you’re continuing a tradition of "authenticity" that’s thousands of years old.

There’s a quiet power in having your own mark. It says that your words are uniquely yours.

Next time you sit down to write, remember you’re part of a very long, very elegant story.

With Gratitude,
Julie & David

Julia and Drew Married at The Ventana Canyon Resort Tucson, Arizona

When I met with Julia, Drew and Julie (Julia´s Mom) last year, the vision of their November wedding in Tucson, Arizona was a mix of elegant, traditional and desert cactus vibes. 

Julia spent much of her life in Tucson and their family church is located there. The family lives in Colorado now but Tucson is their original home. They wanted something traditional with a bit of desert style. A mix of cream, copper gold and desert hues was the inspiration for the wedding stationery. 

A stunning invitation suite and day of products were created to fulfill Julia and Drew´s vision. The invitation card was letterpress printed on ultra thick Crane's Lettra pearl white cotton stock in a copper gold ink. An ivory satin ribbon band wrapped around the invitation card with a date tag attached to the ribbon band. A traditional reply set and a wedding events card were included composed of the pearl white 1-ply stock. A beautiful cactus desert watercolor envelope liner was created from a photo Julia and Drew took on a hike in Tucson. This artwork was also used for wedding signage and permanently hangs as an art pieces in Julia and Drew´s new home. 

We created the following pieces:
- Letterpress Invitation (printed on our 1933 letterpress Hazel)
- Pocket Wedding Booklet Programs
- Place Cards
- Remembrance Grandparent Cards 
- Table Cards
- Cocktail Napkins
- Bar Sign
- Welcome Sign
- Seating Chart 

Julia and Drew's wedding at The Ventana Canyon Resort in Tucson, Arizona was nothing short of magical. Surrounded by the stunning desert landscape and breathtaking mountain views. The end result was a beautiful stationery suite that set the stage for their lovely southwest wedding.

Thank you for the amazing photos!

What a lovely winter day at the Denver Botanic Gardens. While we are restocking our greeting card racks there was a wedding party and their families filing in looking happy and beautiful.

We're grateful to be able to come here every week to stock our cards. This place is busy all year! The staff is so amazing and sweet.

We are members of the Gardens and find this place to be our sanctuary during what is a busy life making cards, stationery and invitations.

Thank you to everyone who comes back to the stores around Denver that allow us to manage card racks. We're grateful and we know these shops are too!
