Cami of Cami's Paperie specializes in custom wedding invitations designs that have never been seen before — and will never be seen again.

"Once designed and printed, I'll never re-create that design for anyone else again," Cami explained to me, meaning that her invitations truly are one-of-a-kind.

Cami's Paperie is offering a 10% discount to all shoppers who mention Offbeat Bride!

She also provides wedding invitation supplies for offbeat brides who want to go the DIY route with their invitations, noting that she can custom cut and score the bulk paper to almost any size.

And of course she does more than just wedding invitations — she's got Save The Dates, place cards and table numbers, programs and menus, and all the other paper stuff you might need for your wedding.

Hey! I'm working on an exciting offbeat bride project, and I'm looking for a few skilled wedding invitation designer/printers to team up with. If you sell custom wedding invitations, get in touch!

I'm totally all SQUEE-y over these custom offbeat illustrations from butterflieskiss.com.

Donna, the illustrator who runs butterflieskiss.com crafts custom images that you could use on save the dates, wedding invitations, thank you cards, wedding favors … or even wedsites.

Let me let you in on a little secret: I'm tempted to commission Donna's illustrations for offbeatbride.com! I mean, does it get any more OBB than this lovely inked bride illustration?

Donna does illustrations catered to semi-traditional wedding invitations too, but she's got amazing images perfectly catered to diverse offbeat brides needs including goth and circus-y/vaudeville brides, lesbian brides, bollywood brides, and even pregnant brides!

And if those wedding-y illustrations too tame for you, Donna has another line — donna-matrix.com, catering to racier images perfect for bachelorette party invites or heck: even your wedding invitation if you're planning a fetishy wedding. (HOT!)

Donna's offering 10% off on custom illustrations when you mention offbeatbride.com — so get on that shit, ladies!

And who knows: next time I redesign, you might see some of Donna's stuff in the header of offbeatbride.com…

Look at this awesome pixelated super geeky save the date cards designed by David Lanham.

The groom who commissioned the cards wrote a blog post recently about the design elements of his recent wedding, and if you're looking for some inspiration like a wedding cake with pixelated flowers — RUN DO NOT WALK.

Is there anything cuter/sexier than a graphic design geek dorking out on his wedding designs? I love it. Thanks to Porter from Nearlyweds for sending this my way!

You won't find many wedding stationers who divide their invites into categories like Rockabilly, Punk, Gothic, and Fetish — Uber Angel is one in a million!

Danni founded Uber Angel (based in the UK) because, as she explains on her about page, while there are a few non-traditional stationers out there, most of them are focused on "black & purple with celtic or mythical elements." And while sure, that works great for a pagan wedding, it might not work for those of you who want tattoo-themed invites for your rock 'n' roll nuptials. In addition to her standard offerings, Danni also does custom commissions.
