These Cape Cod save the dates are the real deal

When I designed these Cape Cod Map save the dates, I was thinking about the type of save the date that I would have sent to my wedding guests when I was married in Falmouth on 7-7-7 (I can hardly believe it's been so long, it feels like yesterday!). I loved the look of this gorgeous antique map, and using the computer I digitally restored it, and combined it with a timeless script font for the names and "Save the Date" and all-caps font for the crucial information like date, location and website.  

Full disclosure: when my husband and I were married I was not a stationery designer at all, I was a librarian! We lived close to the Marine Biological Laboratory where he worked as a computer programmer, and I worked at the MBLWHOI science library. While I was there I worked on a big project to archive all of the old collections that were no longer copyrighted, scan them, and make them available to the public. That's where I found most of the beautiful illustrations you see on my invitations. 

Fast forward a few years and I had a dream job at a cute stationery store in the Queen's Buyway next to Coffee O putting my art degree to work designing wedding invites and stationery for Cape Cod clients. When that shop closed, I finally had my chance to start Concertina Press, and a chance to use the gorgeous illustrations I'd had on my mind for years, and I've been at it ever since. I love what I do!

A few years ago I moved down to Florida to be closer to my folks, but my Cape Cod save the dates, Cape Cod wedding invitations, and wedding day stationery are still very popular, and I love making them because each order reminds me of my own wedding on the Cape.

I also encourage you to read the great reviews from previous couples I've worked with on Wedding Lovely Blog, Wedding Wire, or The Knot.

It's my pleasure to help you figure out the ins and outs of wedding stationery - and I have lots of experience, I'm proud to say I've been running Concertina Press since 2011, so if you have any questions at all contact me! (and by me I mean, Ruth, the owner and designer of Concertina Press - hello!)

Cape Cod Wedding Invitations for a Wedding at Ocean Edge Resort in Brewster

I designed these Cape Cod Wedding Invitations to be beautiful, timeless, and classic, in a navy blue and white color scheme (other colors also available). Not everyone knows what Cape Cod looks like though, so I digitally restored a beautiful 125 year old antique map of the iconic arm-shaped peninsula  and you can put a little heart over the town where you're getting married. This is especially helpful to your guests who might not realize that "Cape Cod" isn't just a town, but is an entire county with many small towns.

These Cape Cod Wedding invitations feature an antique map of the Cape, an optional guest information card (great if you're having  a weekend of events like Friday welcome party and Sunday Brunch) and a very flexible RSVP card. I can accommodate all kinds of RSVP customizations including lines for each attendee, a line for "number of guests", rehearsal dinner RSVPs or anything else. The wording pictured above is fun nautical wording but you can also stick with the more traditional "accepts with pleasure" or "declines with regret".

Cape Cod is a beautiful place to be married, and I would know because I was married in Falmouth! My husband and I were married on 7-7-7 and enjoyed a beautiful beachside ceremony at The Knob. We lived on the Cape year round for 7 years - now we live in Florida near my parents, but we love to go back to the Cape to visit! I also love working with couples getting married on Cape Cod because it  is so close to my heart and brings back so many good memories.

This little outcropping of rock called "The Knob" is a hidden gem in Falmouth - a lovely place to walk your dog or take a little hike out to see the sunset.
