simplicity is king
The simplest ideas always win. I am smitten with these 1st birthday party invitations that my friend Chelsea created for her son, Owen. That single white candle tied onto the beautiful letterpressed 1 makes a big impression.

Of course, as co-founder of Los Angeles-based letterpress stationer Sugar Paper, Chelsea is no stranger to simple and exquisite design. She, her co-founder Jamie and their team have been providing fresh breaths of air to the stationery world for the past 8 years.

I would definitely like to know how I go about ordering these. I would need 50 of them for my triplets.
I'd like to order as well (party mid-April)... can i be pointed in the right direction?
I didn't see where these can be purchased. I went to the Sugar Paper website and don't see these for sale. Can you please let me know how to buy these?? Thank you!!
