“Hi Trish, just wanted to let you know I got the invitations and inner envelopes today, everything looks so nice and I am really pleased with how they turned out. And you were a pleasure to work with! Thanks.” ~ Kathryn

Using English and Italian in a Wedding Invitation
A bride recently approached us about making her a bilingual letterpress wedding invitation for her destination wedding in the summer. Using English and Italian we elegantly included both languages on the same wedding invitation card using the design from our Rana 1 invitation set.
Wherever your wedding is being held, if some of your guests native language is not English, it is probably a good idea to find a wedding invitation printer that is capable of providing a translation service for your wedding invitation. It is important that all of your guests can read your exciting wedding announcement.
This is what Caterina’s invite looks like:
While it follows a similar design to the Rana 1 letterpress wedding invitation, there is a remarkable elegance in this bilingual invitation style.
Maybe it is the appeal of a destination wedding in Italy, or maybe it is because I love big Italian families, but just seeing this wedding invitation makes me excited for this marriage celebration!
If you are in need of professional translation services or are interested in a bilingual wedding invitation, there is nothing that we love more than helping you achieve those dreams. All of our letterpress wedding invitation design gallery items can be converted to bilingual invitations, all you have to do is ask.
Blessings on your marriage Caterina and Andrew!

Wedding Invitation Ideas for Destination Celebrations
A growing trend for summer and fall brides is picking a gorgeous destination wedding location. Many of these same brides are trying to find interesting and innovative ways to incorporate their destination wedding location and theme into their letterpress wedding invitation design. This is a great idea, mixing the location and wedding invitation styles is a great way to not only announce the destination, but impress your guests too.
When thinking about combining your destination wedding location with your letterpress wedding invitation design, there are a couple important things to keep in mind.
Pick a Color You Like
Regardless of well it seems to fit, if you do not like the color that your invitations will be then forget it. First pick a color that works for you, then try to match that with your destination location.
Think about Add-ons
A great way to spice up your destination wedding invitation is to include some add-ons that represent the location or theme of your wedding. Different colored ribbons, sea shells, snowflakes or colorful leaves, whatever the location make sure to put a little bit of that flavor into your letterpress wedding invitation design.
Remember the Season
If you are planning a winter wedding in Aspen, chances are you will be saying “I Do” in knee-deep snow. Don’t forget that no matter where you are going to hold your ceremony, the seasons change. The time of year you are getting married should be represented on your invitation style.
Don’t Forget the Envelopes
Envelopes are an important part of setting the stage for a destination wedding invitation. Have fun when designing them and do not be afraid to think outside the box. Decorations, colored ink or stamps (the non postage kind) or fun pictures can all be added to increase the destination thrill. But make sure to consult your local post office before creating 100+ of them, you never know what they won’t send these days.

Incorporate your Wedding Venue into your Letterpress Invitation Card
A growing theme among the trendy brides of 2010 is having a smaller scale destination wedding. This makes for an amazing wedding experience and the best way to herald the good news is to incorporate an aspect of your destination location into your wedding invitation. Letterpress wedding invitation cards hold countless possibilities for integrating exotic venues, locations or flora and fauna from your destination wedding.
Our Cape Cod letterpress wedding invitation was designed for a bride who was inviting her guests to a secluded area during the beautiful Cape Code summer. She chose to integrate the lighthouse which overlooked their ceremony as a reminder of the beacon of love, support and passion that her and her husband shared.

Typically when couples design a wedding invitation, they do not include an agave plant as the central theme. But this custom designed invitation was created for a bride with a wedding at a private estate where the grounds were dotted with agave plants.

Get a Wedding Planner
While this may seem like a step in the expensive direction, remember that wedding planners do this for a living. They know the industry details on how to save you money on everything from florists to venues, and their ability to take the stress out of the planning process can be invaluable.
Package Deals on Wedding Invitations
Wedding invitations can be an expensive part of the wedding planning process. That is why it is important to look for discount deals when it comes to letterpress wedding invitation designs. Some printers will greatly reduce the cost of your wedding invitation set if you order it as an inclusive package deal.
Minimize the Guest List
One of the best ways to lower the cost of your wedding is to reduce your guest list. Not only will you reduce your overall cost for dinner and drinks, but a smaller guest list means a smaller venue, which can end up saving you thousands of dollars. Fewer guests also allows you to have a more personal and intimate event.
Find a Venue that is Already Decorated
While every bride wants to have her own flowers, colors and designs at the wedding ceremony and celebration venue, selecting locations that come already decorated can save you a lot of money. Think about holding the ceremony somewhere that is naturally beautiful like a park or botanical gardens. The savings in flower arrangements alone can significantly reduce your overall wedding expenses.

Choosing the right words for your wedding invitations is an important task. From non-traditional families to specific cultural or religious ceremonies, picking the right wording for your wedding invitation (which hopefully will be letterpress) requires careful consideration.
When thinking about wording your (letterpress 
) wedding invitations it is important to keep a couple key points in mind:
Is your event a formal or casual affair? This information is very important in your wedding invitation wording because it sets the tone for your guests expectations and attire.
Are there any specific cultural or religious ceremonies in your wedding celebration? The words you choose and the way you set up your invitation should clearly indicate if there is anything that your guests should be expecting or prepared for. Whether it be a South East Asian or Indian ceremony, a Jewish, Muslim or secular celebration, one way or another, let your guests know with the words you choose for your wedding invitation.

Which families are hosting the event and more importantly, who is paying. While this may seem a little outdated or unimportant, one of the main reasons the parents are included in the wedding invitation is because they typically are paying the bills. If this is not the case, or your family decides it is not necessary, then feel free to word as you wish.
However you word your wedding invitation, make sure to spend a little time doing some research, discuss it with your spouse-to-be and do not simply choose the wording that your printer decides is easiest (cheapest). Feel free to request changes and make your invitation uniquely your own.

We were invited this year to the Dulhania Bazaar South Asian Bridal Expo in Phoenix to display our new South Asian themed letterpress wedding invitation designs. The weekend was a total blast! I have never seen so many eager and excited brides. Vendors came from all around the country to show off their beautiful South Asian wedding garments, dishware, jewelry, accessories and of course, letterpress invitations.

Right as I walked into the main room of the event, I was greeted by an absolutely exquisite runway. The organizers decorated the walking area with a beautiful array of flower petals in an intricate design.

Of course it was not long before the music started, the lights were dimmed and the amazing fashion show started. South Asian runway models were showing off many of the latest designs for traditional brides and bridesmaids dresses. The crowd was totally enthusiastic and I could hear the ‘ohhs’ and ‘awws’ whenever a new dress was being displayed.

One of my favorite parts of the show was seeing the wedding table decorations and displays. There were some absolutely amazing designs, themes and colors that simply took my breath away. It is no wonder why South Asian wedding celebrations are so beautiful.
Overall the show was a lot of fun. We met with a great group of brides and we are already excited about attending this show next year!

Our team of professional designers has been working very hard this fall season. Spring weddings are right around the corner, which means us letterpress wedding invitation printers need to be ready with new designs.
When I first saw Rachelle, the newest addition to our already elegant gallery of invitation sets, I was impressed by the quality of thought and consideration that the bride put into designing this work of art.
This bride’s wedding was held at a venue where the grounds were filled with agave plants. So very appropriately, the theme of her invitation set mirrored this natural environment. She spent a great deal of time searching for an invitation featuring this elegant plant. When she contacted us, she had nearly given up on using this motif. However, we were able to use a photograph she provided, and with a little fancy footwork in Illustrator, we created an image we could letterpress:
The day after the official ceremony there was a day cruise for the guests on Lake Travis. Hoping to extend the wedding events to the invitation set even further, we printed a wonderful shoreline setting for the day after event card.
While your wedding venue or intended theme may be different than agave plants or this weeks featured new design Rachelle, it is possible to custom create a formal wedding invitation that matches your dreams, wedding venue or themes. Click here to request free samples
