We were honored to work with Boca Mag to create these stunning invitations for their Ice Ball event in February, benefitting the Boca Raton Museum of Art. Navy letterpress and silver foil on white cotton paper were the perfect pairing for this winter-inspired event, accented with a silver foil edge and metallic navy envelope liners.

After a busy few months creating last-minute paper items for all of our May couples, we are taking a second to share some of the beautiful invitation sets we've been creating! Ashley and Jesse were some of the sweetest people we've had the pleasure to work with. We created beautiful all-gold invitations for their Villa Woodbine wedding, with a pocket backer to hold their travel and accommodations information and reply set in a neatly contained package. They carried the classic look throughout their wedding with programs and letterpress thank you cards.
Happy Saturday! We are so excited to finally share these gorgeous Key West wedding invitations!! This incredible set features shiny silver foil with a hint of indigo foil, on luxurious cotton paper with a shimmer envelope liner. The vintage map of Key West printed on the pocketfold pulls everything together.
Now that the holidays are over and we're settling into 2015, we can finally share these beautiful holiday cards! These unique holiday cards were silkscreened with white ink on frosted transparent plastic, and paired with a metallic silver envelope (printed for us by Allie Munroe).
Patrick's mother Carla came to us looking to print invitations and thank you cards for his baptism. She brought in a beautiful pattern-based custom design, and chose navy ink on shimmer paper stock. The set was completed with navy envelope liners, and printed for us by Page Stationery. Happy baptism day, Patrick!
Happy wedding weekend to Charlette & Robert and Tracey & Justin! We created everything from save the dates to programs and favor tags for Charlette's wedding. Their wedding stationery suite was totally custom designed by us here at The Windmill, and printed by Page Stationery. Our favorite piece is their save the date, which includes a timeline of their relationship - we just adore this idea!
Tracey and Justin had a destination wedding in Longboat Key, Florida, so they wanted to incorporate a beachside feel to their invitations while still keeping them very elegant. They chose gold foil for their invitations and gold letterpress for the rest of the pieces, printed on cotton paper by Haute Papier. We love how each piece of their invitation suite included a bit of their monogram in some way.

Shop Small & Shop Local
In the spirit of giving, we ask you all to please consider supporting small businesses when you do your holiday shopping this year.
Every dollar spent at a locally owned, independent business generates 2-3 times more economic activity in our communities than a dollar spent at a national chain. When you shop small, you pay someone's rent, put gas in their car and encourage their dream.
We feel so very lucky to have such incredible customers all year round, but especially during the holidays. We hope you will continue to shop local and shop small - it truly does make a difference in our local economy and in the lives of countless artisans, designers and community members.
Oh, hi there! We're Sarah and Shawn Gluchacki, the owners of The Windmill Paper Boutique. In celebration of Small Business Saturday tomorrow, we thought we'd share a little about ourselves.
Sarah has a BFA in graphic design and painting, and got her start working in a letterpress printing company in Syracuse, New York. Shawn has a background in math and physics and (shockingly) has basic social skills. We were our own first clients when we got married in August 2012, and then moved to Boca Raton to open up The Windmill. We'll travel pretty far for craft beer and great meals, we're serious coffee snobs, and we are known among our friends to send the greatest cards for every occasion (go figure!). We love paper, invitations, weddings, dogs, and a perfect beach day.
Happy wedding weekend to Monica & Guido and Christina & Nolan! Monica and Guido came to us with an idea for their wedding invitations, and we created a custom text-based design for them. It was foil stamped in Champagne on white cotton paper (with a reply card in Gold letterpress), printed by Haute Papier.
Christina and Nolan had this amazing idea for ceremony programs that fold into paper airplanes, for their adventure-themed wedding. We designed a compass-based wedding logo for their day-of pieces, along with matching table cards, a photo booth sign, and a seating chart.
Thanks for joining us at downtown Boca Raton's Meet Me on the Promenade event - it was such a pleasure meeting so many South Florida paper lovers. Swing in the store anytime for more - we are right around the corner!
We are in LOVE with the brand new custom holiday designs we have in the shop! Letterpress, foil, photo printing, edge paint, envelope liners, and more... these are not your typical holiday cards. Swing by anytime to see all of the designs and options, or make an appointment to discuss your cards one-on-one. Plus, order Smock holiday cards by December 10th and they'll rush your order at no extra cost!
