This year has not been the year we had hoped it would be, that’s for sure! At the end of 2020 I remember saying to friends “Let’s make 2021 the year 2020 should have been”, and well, it wasn’t meant to be, but seeing the way things are across the country now, it feels like 2022 might just make up for it all. We have been by our customers’ sides throughout the tough times of postponing, reprinting, and organising change the dates to adapt to their new circumstances. If you have had to postpone and haven’t yet been in touch, please let us know as we would love to help you if we can.
Although this year has been tough, as a business everyone on the team has been working harder than ever to be the company that we want to be for our customers - one that creates unforgettable stationery for your events. Whether we are helping you announce your event with save the dates, invitations and more, or working to add the finishing touches to your styling with our on the day pieces, we want to help you by having a great selection of quality designs, tailored to your event, that is printed perfectly and arrives ready to go.
To that end, we’re proud to show off what we have been working on for a while now - two new collections that are what we are calling ‘curated collections’. These collections are designed to be more cohesive and structured than our semi-custom collections (where you are given free reign of choice), and include items like pockets and jackets as standard to ensure that your guests will have an unforgettable opening experience when they receive your invitation in the mail. Each new collection also comes in five new colour themes on new premium card colours, where we have spent the time to choose what we believe are the best colours for each piece for each colour theme depending on the size of your suite.
We believe that these are the best collections we have ever designed, and I recommend picking up a sample pack to really feel the quality and see our work first hand. Both collections include our biggest range of products so far, including drink toppers, sparkler pockets and more ideas to help you to create an event that you will remember forever.
With all that being said, let’s get into the reveal!
Luna
Luna is a modern take on a celestial theme, where we have added minimalist stars and astral elements to a statement suite. Each card in this invitation suite is over-sized, allowing for maximum impact and a luxurious opening experience. Upon taking the custom die-cut sleeve from their envelope, your chosen quote will be revealed, showing through the opening in the sleeve, with the rest of the celestial elements appearing after the cards are removed.
Luna’s on the day items are similarly elegant and stylish, with large statement options for welcome signs and seating charts, and a layered menu and place card band that is a delight to open and explore for your guests.

Narrative
Narrative combines the expert illustration skill of our co-owner Anna, with the gorgeous typography and style that Peppermint Press has become known for. This collection is focused on telling your love story, your way. Choose from a selection of over 40 illustrations to pair with your purchase, which are tastefully rolled out across your invitation suite and on the day pieces. No matter your love story, we will have options that help reflect and share your personalities and stories, mementos and favourite memories.
For Narrative’s on the day options, we have created new sizes of slimline signage that looks amazing, as well as a larger decorative feature board featuring your illustrations that can sit behind your large signage to help set the mood to your event.

New Digital Options
Both of our collections also include new eInvitation options for both the save the date and invitations for those who are looking for a way to communicate their event online. We’ve also developed website options for both collections for communicating your day to your guests, as well as providing an easy way for your guests to RSVP. Combining both the website and invitation suite by adding a QR code to your RSVP card makes the transition from tradition to technology seamless, and you’ll have an easy way to manage your guest’s replies and their details.
As always, our new collections allow you to choose from a variety of options for your invitation suite and on the day pieces, and are available for purchase today. We also include as many rounds of changes as you would like to your wording before your pieces are sent for production, and we don’t charge extra for certain colour themes or options. With One Product One Tree and complimentary carbon neutral shipping within Australia - Peppermint Press are the best choice for purchasing your wedding stationery and on the day pieces.
If your wedding was postponed til next year, I hope you are feeling as confident as I am about 2022, as this should be a great year as we are able to get back together and celebrate. We also have a lot of new collection ideas planned, so stay tuned for new releases - and if you have any ideas of what you would like to see from us in the future, please let us know in the comments.
