Tamara
Branches loaded with delicate buds and brilliant blossoms decorate this bright invitation. The blooming branch design is printed in raspberry pink ink with shimmering pink Ballet paper.





Deep Ornate Torah
One of the most beautiful and dramatic invitations we've seen, the Deep Ornate Torah, by Checkerboard, features an eye-catching, high-contrast photograph of elaborate Torah finials, renedered in silver metallic ink on navy paper. Your child's first and middle names -- or both your children's names, if you have twins -- are printed on paper that opens dramatically from either side to reveal your text.



Silvery Blues
An elegant Wedgewood blue satin ribbon graces this lovely invitation with a translucent, flowered overleaf.



Nathan
Brilliant gold ink compliments the subtle tone-on-tone detailing of the classic Tree of Life image printed in sable brown ink against rich chocolate brown paper. Note the six branches, echoing the six points in the Star of David. Your child's name appears at the trunk of the tree.




Passage In Purple
Rich chocolate and grape layered papers are in perfect symmetry with a double-faced satin-knotted ribbon in hues of the same color. A stylish, feminine card.




In Depth
Hats off (or is that kippot off?) to the artist who gracefully combined three motifs - the bar/bat mitzvah child's name, the Torah and a Star of David -- into one stylish, bold invitation.






Chic dots
This chic-yet-adorable three-layer invitation features heavy chocolate paper beneath a printed polka dot and a pink layer. A brown satin bow completes the ensemble. This invitation now comes with a matching postage stamp you can personalize with your name and bat mitzvah date!




Wave

Grace
Look closely to see the fine, raised/ embossed Torah scroll on this high-style, gorgeous invitation that opens from the right, like a Hebrew book. The purple silky ribbon creates flair and elegance.



Colors to Inspire

Tailored In Bronze

Premier

Firmly Rooted

The beautiful, symbolic details in the gorgeous woodcut appliqué of an oak tree are just one reason this invite is a standout for your son's bar mitzvah. The materials are another: papers of shimmering gold and navy blue under a heavyweight cream top layer.


Angular Torah A modern geometric Torah printed in matte silver extends across this invitation and is incorporated into your text. See the silver kiddush cup stamp
that mirrors the tradition embraced in this invitation.



Tree of Life
Strikingly geometrical, this meaningful invitation has a poem in English and Hebrew as well as Hebrew letters spelling out Aytz Chaim (Tree of Life) down the trunk.



Luminary
A handsome, clever tri-fold invitation your child -- and guest list! -- will love. The first overleaf has a square cutout, the second a Star of David. All three combine to create a dramatic impression.




Embassy Three Flowers
A rich espresso band and satin Persian blue ribbon wrap around a luxuriant white card, concealing a trio of stylized flowers.



Blossom

Crane's thick cream stock is pre-letterpressed in sage green with a branch of blossoms in a classic botanical illustration style. Included are envelopes in cream, also pre-letterpressed with the blossoms in green for a special extra touch.
