I love letterpress printing. When it comes to wedding invitations, there really is no better way to set the tone and generate authentic excitement from your guests than by choosing letterpress. The texture, the unique designs, the matching envelopes (and sometimes liners) combine in a scrumptious aesthetic that is supreme among invitations.

However, I also understand that many boutique letterpress printers do charge a premium for their services, and in this economy they can become expensive (though they not have to be!).

So what’s a bride to do? If you really love letterpress printing, but cannot afford a full invitation set, consider having your wedding vows printed with letterpress. This way you can frame them and display them for years to come. They can be a constant reminder of the love, commitment and respect you each have for each other, and will look absolutely gorgeous too.

If you and your spouse to be are feeling adventurous, it would be a wonderful treat for your guests to have your wedding vows printed with letterpress and included along with your thank you cards. If the thought of sending your vows to everyone may seem a little much, it is always possible to include them only in the letters to your closest friends and relatives.

This way, you can share your feelings and give your guests something to remember your marriage celebration by, a small, stunning pledge filled with memories and joy.
