Hi, I’m Lauren, the creative mind behind Spellbound Press!

My journey into the world of wedding invitations started in a very personal way: with my own wedding. Designing my invitations was such a joy, and soon after, friends began asking me to create theirs as well. One project led to another, and before I knew it, many people were encouraging me to turn my passion into a business.

Before starting Spellbound Press, I spent six years working in neuroscience research. While I loved the work, I discovered a different kind of delight and fulfillment while crafting beautiful, meaningful stationery for friends. It was during this time that I stumbled upon letterpress printing, and I knew immediately it was what I wanted to do. There's something truly special about the tactile quality and timeless beauty of letterpress, and it’s now a cornerstone of my work.

When I’m not designing or printing, you can usually find me outdoors, either tending to my garden, exploring a new hiking trail, or spending time with my three furry companions: Fletcher, my sweet dog, and my two fluffy cats, Simmer and Lilith.

At Spellbound Press, I take pride in creating beautiful, custom stationery that reflects each couple’s unique story. I’m passionate about the details, from the initial design concept to the final print. Whether you’re looking for elegant wedding invitations, day-of items, or personalized stationery, I’m here to bring your vision to life with care and creativity. Let's work together to make your special day truly unforgettable!

Why Letterpress?

Modern letterpress techniques celebrate the “bite” impression, leaving a debossed design that is visually appealing and feels luxurious. It cannot be replicated on modern printing machines, and therefore takes time, skill, and patience to create.
