For the love of letterpress!

Letterpress is becoming incredibly popular for wedding invitations today. I consider it one of the most beautiful printing techniques - the surface of the type is inked and then pressed into a soft, rich paper.










The results are stunning - and some super cute designs are being paired to create awesome results! This is one of my favorites from one of the best stationers we work with - William Arthur.

It pairs a damask print design in a light, periwinkle blue with a deep chocolate letterpressed ink. The results are stunning and make such as huge statement! Not only is the invitation square, but all of the other elements that are designed to work with this invitation (response set, reception card) are square as well. The result - a unique invitation that will surely get all of your guests anxiously anticipating your wedding!


Crane & Co. - another large and very well regarded name in the stationery industry - also has a great selection of letterpress. This "wasabi" green is really popular now - and it's perfectly accented with chocolate brown letterpress type on a thick and luxurious card!
