About

Callidora Letterpress and Design is a boutique letterpress and design studio specializing in custom personal stationery that makes a deep, lasting impression.

From design to letterpress, we handle every step of the process. This ensures that we have complete control over the quality of our product at all times. We want your invitation and event accessories to express your individual aesthetic.

My name is Carrie and I am a designer, letterpress printer, wife, and mama. I have a BFA in graphic design and have always been drawn to the beauty of letterpress. I learned the art of letterpress printing shortly after receiving my degree and happen to discover a 500lb antique printing press collecting dust in a garage in Rhode Island. Over the course of a year I restored the old press and it is finally at home in my studio. All of Callidora’s letterpress pieces are printed by hand printed on my Golding Pearl Press, circa 1880. Callidora Letterpress Design was born after I was asked to design and letterpress print many of my friends’ wedding invitations and the accessories that complemented their event. I am a full-time designer and work out of my studio on the North Shore. I love working with brides on their wedding invitations, new parents on birth announcements, families on party invitations and many more custom designs for special moments. I have a true passion for creating and making exquisite pieces that feel less like invitations and cards and more like beautiful gifts. To learn more please contact me, I would love to hear from you!

Working with Callidora Letterpress & Design was awesome

I had a wonderful experience working with Callidora Letterpress & Design.
The invitations we designed surpassed all my expectations and dreams. They were exquisite, romantic, and included a lovely drawing of my venue. Due to this wonderful experience, I also worked with Carrie for day of print materials(including menus, escort cards, details cards). Everything was lovely. Extremely happy with this service

Gorgeous Work

We hired Callidora for our Luxury, black tie, December wedding in Newport. Working with Carrie was so easy & wonderful. After a terrible experience with our save the dates with another vendor Carrie listened to our wants, needs, style, and worries. Not only did she come up with a gorgeous plan and design for our invitations, we still use the monogram to this day. she also did our champagne wall escort cards, and our gorgeous menus. They are still being talked about today, as well as the gold inside of my black envelopes. She is worth every penny. Our pictures are stunning and being published with all the small details was such an amazing surprise. Don't wait on Callidora!

Beautiful, Elegant Designs to Set the Scene for Your Wedding Weekend

Working with Carrie was an absolute dream! She helped our vision come to life and truly helped set the scene for our wedding weekend from the moment our guests received their invitation. She was wonderful to work with, her designs were thoughtful and detailed. The quality of the products she used was impressive. She provided several different mockups for designs to choose from and provided advice to help make our invitation suite everything we dreamed of. She even created a custom drawing of our venue and a custom pattern for us that we were able to use to brand our wedding theme and carry it throughout the wedding weekend. We were able to have it repeated on the bar inside the tent.

Outstanding!

Carrie was amazing to work with and really made our vision come to life! She had such an organized and thoughtful process to help us create semi-custom invitations that our guests thought were incredible! They came out stunning and were very timeless and elegant. She also created day-of menus, seating chart and a welcome sign for us that tied-in everything and made the entire wedding very cohesive. We loved working with her and would recommend to anyone looking for invitations/printed materials for their wedding!

Impeccable

Working with Carrie was an incredible experience. She is so talented, and was able to bring our jumbled ideas and thoughts to life in the most stunning, elegant way. We worked together on Save the Dates through Invitation Suites, and will be working with her on day of materials as well. Carrie blew us away at every single step of the process, acing every detail. Our suites were perfectly crafted to US and our guests have raved about how stunning they are. She delivered exactly what we wanted our suites to represent and working with her is an absolute joy. I highly, highly recommend her if you want stunning stationary!

Breathtaking invitations

Carrie created a custom invitation suite for our wedding. She took the time to get to know our likes and dislikes to handcraft the most elegant and breathtaking invitations I have ever seen. It was the perfect start to our fairytale wedding and we received so many compliments even from the other vendors. Carrie is such a sweetheart to work with and we hope that we get to work with her again in the future!

Callidora is essential to setting the tone for your big day

One of my favorite parts of wedding planning was working with Carrie of Callidora to design our Save the Date and Invitation suite. Carrie was mindful and respectful of our budget, thoughtful with our design options and extremely detail-oriented when it came to the execution of our suite. When our Save the Dates arrived in mailboxes, I heard from so many people reaching out about how lovely they were... but when the Invites did, our guests were absolutely raving. They really set the tone for our wedding and were a beautiful detail to include in our photos. A huge thanks to Carrie for making this so special for us!

One of the best parts of my wedding!

Working with Carrie, and the wedding stationary design process, was one of the highlights of my wedding planning! We started working with Carrie for our Save the Dates with no concrete idea of our wedding day design, let alone what we wanted for stationary. Carrie walked us through the Save the Date design process to craft the most beautiful, modern, and elegant Save the Date which then translated throughout our Invitations, Day Of stationary, and overall wedding aesthetic.

In addition to a beautiful and cohesive design, Carrie made the whole process very approachable to my husband and I, always explaining what we weren't familiar with, presenting clear options for us to choose between, and keeping us on a clear timeline to ensure Save the Dates, Invitations, and Day Of stationary were all complete on time. I continue to look back at all of the stationary and can't believe how perfectly it captured our day (especially the hand-drawn illustration of our dog, Waffles, for the napkins!) Thank you Carrie and Callidora Letterpress + Design!
