A Royal Flush
You’ve learned the hard way — ex No. 3, $29 dollar ho(s)tel room — to be suspicious of things that look good on paper.
But that’s exactly what Flush Designs does best. Actually, it’s all the Pasadena-based stationery company does.
Mixing vintage and modern sensibilities, the ready-made cards feature old-timey motifs and contemporary fonts in fresh hues and combos. Say hi with dandelions or happy birthday with op art balloons. The “What the …” woodblock type makes for the ultimate all-purpose greeting.
Custom work includes personal stationery, calling cards, announcements, and invitations (designer Courtney Keefe particularly loves weddings) all made with letterpress, inkjet, or a little of both. Go ahead: Ask for extras like maps, ribbons, customized envelope liners, and wax seals.
For an interactive invite, request the personalized word finder: You pick the clues and Keefe turns them into a puzzle. Or just go with something simple.
Regardless, the recipients won’t miss the fine print.
