National Stationery Show Spotlight: Pancake and Franks

First of all, how cute is the name Pancake and Franks? Too cute. More letterpress goodness for you to peruse and consider for your wedding invitations. Pancake and Franks also print on 100% recycled paper. So that's a eco-fabulous plus! These are my favs, especially the Pisces invitation (number 3). See more on their web site.
