Royal Steamline

Royal Steamline is a husband-and-wife design team who create wedding invitations with a dark, clockwork or otherwise retro and vintage flavor. Through a subtle (and sometimes anachronistic) combination of shadows, textures and vintage illustrations, we aim to convey a sense of eras strange and forgotten. Sea monsters mingle next to robotic ravens, and gentlemen scientists have tea with rockabilly rebels. Simply stated, we offer unconventional invitations for unconventional people.

Every step of the way, you were absolutely wonderful. The response we've had to these invitations, it's just, unheard of. People are absolutely losing their minds. I'm so happy that not only was I able to support true artistry but, it has set an expectation of a warm and unique wedding. – Hope

How I cater to Offbeat Brides

Whether it's our soft spot for the early days of rock 'n' roll or our fascination with the Victorian era, we hope to make invitations that brides and grooms will connect with. We love it all: Edwardian fonts sit within Art Nouveau frames seated upon Regency textures. Often, the result is nearly unrecognizable — an artifact from some parallel world. And it's this understanding of design alchemy that lets us craft the ideal invitations for offbeat affairs!

We may be in paper, but we love mother earth.

Our studio (based in Portland, Oregon) is carbon neutral.
We print on FSC certified paper at a local FSC certified print house that runs on 100% renewable wind power.
We pack our invitations with natural and recycled materials whenever possible.

Your wedding invitations are too important to leave to automatons (no offense, automata). That's why we take great care and attention to detail with every invitation: answering your questions, creating proofs, overseeing printing, and packing your order with love to send to any corner of the globe.
