Sundays With The Old Man
March 8th, 2010
The Old Man
For the last couple of months, my Sundays have been spent with The Old Man: Our C&P Letterpress that is. We bought this little guy about a year ago and we still had not found an appropriate name for him. Some other names thrown out were Winston, J.P. and Archibald. Then one day, my sister called our dad “Old Man” and like a bolt of lightning, our C&P had been appropriately named: The Old Man.
My dad, sister and I have been the three musketeers recently… especially on Sundays. So I thought it would be really sweet to dedicate a space on my blog for our little Sunday printing parties! We might even have to start sending out invitations because they are that much fun….
Chocolate Hippo with The Old Man
My sister Libbie lives in Germany with her husband and three kids. She always seems to find the most interesting and yummy treats to send to us Americans. This Sunday, we enjoyed a tasty Happy Hippo, it was so delish! Isn’t he cute?! Sorry buddy!
This Sunday’s project was inclosed business cards. Since we opened up a storefront, we had to print new cards. I ordered awesome handmade paper from Porridge Papers in Lincoln, Nebraska. The paper is so amazing so I wanted to keep the copy and design very simple and clean.

They turned out really great! I love glitter!
Stay tuned for next week’s segment “Sundays With The Old Man” to see what our print shop is up to… and what German treat will be eaten next!

Lesley and The Old Man
Shop Update + Decorations!
March 2nd, 2010
Meeting Area, Wedding Invitations Omaha, NE
I wanted to post some new pictures of our recent decorating projects for the shop and show our progression…. It does not happen over night, but hopefully by April, everything will be up and we’ll be all set! Above is the picture of our meeting room with a couple of bookshelves to showcase some of our recent invitations. It’s a really cool way to display invites without books.
Tissue Balls from Ceiling, Omaha NE, Wedding Invitations
I decided to add new colors to inclosed’s color scheme: RED and GREY and every PINK under the sun! I have noticed pink and black are becoming ever so popular so I wanted to change it up a little, to make sure we stand out from other stationers on-line and in town.
Our “inclosed studio” banner is a temporary sign until it’s warm enough for our signs to go on the windows…. I can’t wait! I will for sure take pics once those are up! I have to thank my neighbor and friend Jess Brashear for helping me sew, attach and hang the banner! You are the best Jess! Thank you!
Sitting Area, Inclosed Studio, Omaha, NE, Wedding Invitations
On the other side of the store will be our letterpress shop, retail for stationery and wedding little lovelies! There will also be a sitting area, “a bridal lounge” is what I am calling it. Cute, right?! I ordered furniture and wall-paper which will arrive in the next couple of weeks, I will update once the next phase is complete!

L + B Invites!

Laura + Brian Letterpress Invite
Classic, edgy and bold are just a few words to describe not only this couple, but their invites too! Each outer black envelope had a vibrant green houndstooth envelope liner and matching rsvp envelope, so much FUN! They give just a hint of what’s to come at this wedding celebration.
Laura + Brian's RSVP Envelope
Each invite, rsvp card and matching rsvp envelope were hand fed through our C + P Letterpress.
Letterpress Wedding Invitation
The couple will be getting married March 27th at a very beautiful church in downtown Omaha and will be having their wedding reception at the Harper Ballroom on Creighton’s campus. Best of luck to Laura + Brian, we had a great time working with you and can’t wait to see pictures!

Our BIG, HUGE Announcement!
January 24th, 2010
inclosed has been in business for almost six years now! And during those years, we have had the pleasure working with amazing couples creating their one-of-a-kind Wedding Invitation Suites. We love bringing originality, creativity and unique products to the Omaha Metro and want to continue doing so for many years to come.

For the past year, we have been planning a BIG change for inclosed. Our goal during that year was to create our own space for brides and grooms to come and know that their wedding invitations are going to be the best in town! We wanted a storefront!
Drum role please!………. Our planning has paid off and we are pleased to announce that inclosed has its very first storefront! We are a full service stationery company, a letterpress shop and wedding boutique. We want our brides to have unique items, a sweet place to come for awesome ideas and pretty lil’ accessories that can’t be found anywhere else in Omaha!
While we still have a lot to do, we are planning an Open House once our shop is completed and the weather is a little bit warmer. However, we are OPEN!
Stay tuned for photos of our shop, decorating ideas and yes, of course, wedding invitations. We are so excited about our next BIG adventure and we can’t wait for you to be a part of it!
Here are a couple of pictures of our shop so far, we have lots to do yet, but it’s a great start!
New Storefront inclosed

Stop by and see us! Our new address is 1330 Mike Fahey Street (formally Webster Street) Omaha, Ne
