Paper Break: Paper + Cup Design
We've always been huge fans of Paper + Cup's designs—they're playful and modern, but still elegant. Their letterpress designs are always beautiful, but the addition of flat printing offers an equally stylish, yet budget-friendly option to brides. Cofounder Minhee Cho has an incredible aesthetic, so we asked her to share some of her best advice for brides-to-be.
What's your best advice for the recently engaged entering the world of wedding stationery?
Don’t be afraid to be unique and to share your own story. The stationery sets the tone for the entire event, so make it personal and have fun! And involve the groom, too!
What's been your favorite design so far and why?
These place cards we did for a winter wedding. They were miniature flashcards with the couples favorite pastimes. We hung them on a giant Christmas tree like ornaments and guests had find their name.
What's your best stationery cost-cutting tip that doesn't sacrifice style?
Flat printing and custom-printed mailing labels instead of calligraphy.
What makes Paper + Cup different from other stationery companies?
We love experimenting with innovative designs and ideas, but have a soft spot for classic design basics. Weddings celebrate a new beginning as well as tradition and we try to show that through our designs.
What's your biggest wedding stationery no-no?
Registry on the invites or RSVPs.
