Design Your Own Wedding Invitation Online Simply & Elegantly

by Gryphon Stationers
Graphic design partners Erik Olsen and Trina Hancock announce the launch of their web-based invitation design company: Gryphon Stationers.

Borrowing from their twenty years of experience in designing identity packages, websites and collateral material for the most discerning clients, Gryphon Stationers provides a variety of invitation designs ranging from weddings, baby showers, or general stationery in styles created for people with a modern sensibility and elegant taste.

Short circuiting the time it takes to pore through the many books of invitations, culling for good design in a sea of average, Olsen and Hancock have edited only the most attractive ideas for the style-conscious to choose from. Customers enter the site and with simple instructions are able to create, preview and order a customized invitation or announcement online based on a template of handsome typefaces, paper stocks, ink colors, motifs and monograms. (Both traditional letterpress and engraved options are available.) The finished proof is approved online with a confirmation, and the final print arrives within four to six weeks.

While customers are welcome to visit the SF office by appointment for a custom designed invitation, the site was developed to provide exceptional one-on-one service via e-mail and telephone to compete with traditional stationery stores. Gryphon plans to convert an upscale clientele away from their local store through the simplicity of maneuvering through the site and delivering unprecedented quality easily.

With 28 ink colors, 7 typefaces, 10 paper stocks, and only 4-6 weeks of lead time, Gryphon Stationers provides a variety of beautiful choices for those who appreciate fine taste.
