Everyone hates finding out about hidden costs, especially when it comes to your wedding. When searching for affordable letterpress wedding invitations, avoiding the financial pitfalls that some brides fall into is an important first step. To help you do this, I have come up with a short list of the four most important things to remember when it comes to trying to find affordable letterpress wedding invitations.

Postage

Unless you are hand delivering your letterpress wedding invitations, the costs for postage can be expensive no matter what kind of invitation set you order. Find out the weight and size of your completed invitation set and factor the postage costs into your overall budget.

Also, think about using an RSVP postcard instead of an entire RSVP card and envelope. This saves money on the printing as well as the postage and makes your wedding invitation package much more affordable overall.

Special Letterpress Wedding Invitation Deals

Ask the wedding invitation printers that you are thinking of working with if they offer any type of letterpress wedding invitation specials. While not all wedding invitation vendors provide these cost saving services, if you are genuinely interested in saving money on your wedding invitations, you should at least ask.

Size Matters

The size of your wedding invitation set can make a difference in the overall cost of paper, printing, envelopes and postage. So before you start ordering custom sizes and wedding invitation styles, it might be helpful to ask about any added costs associated with these personalized additions.

Charging Premiums

Some letterpress wedding invitation printers like to charge an added premium for their services. Not only is this unprofessional, it is unfair to the brides that are trying to save money and find discounts wherever they can. Make sure to inquiry about pricing in a variety of letterpress wedding invitation vendors so you know the differences between fair and inflated prices.

Part of my job as a letterpress wedding invitation blog writing is to stay on top of the new and exciting trends that brides and grooms are incorporating into their wedding invitation sets. Everything from video game invites to epic movie trailer style custom wedding invitations, while it may not be letterpress, it is still a lot of fun.

Recently when I was searching around the internet I stumbled upon a really beautiful video that this couple had produced as their custom wedding invitation. They posted it on youtube and sent the link to all their guests, and we are lucky enough to see the action. While there is no substitute for the aesthetic design and character of an amazing letterpress wedding invitation set, this invitation video is still pretty spectacular:

While creative people can produce exceptional custom wedding invitations videos, do not let the price of paper invites be the deciding factor. Look for letterpress wedding invitation specials and have the invitation of your dreams without the high cost.

Diversity is all around us. The United States is like a salad bowl of different ethnic flavors and colors that collectively make us a wondrous country. As a result, a growing trend among modern brides and their wedding guests, is that every guest does not necessarily speak or read English. This is where the need for bilingual letterpress wedding invitation designs enters center stage.

I have been to weddings with many different styles and themes and one thing I have noticed at many of these ceremonies is that it is no longer a rare occurrence to meet a wedding guest that cannot read or speak English.

If you are like many other modern brides and know that some of your guests will need to have a wedding invitation printed in another language, do not hesitate to ask your printer for this service. Bilingual wedding invitations are easy to design and print and will greatly enhance the pleasure that some of your guests receive when they first open your invitations.

There are two main ways to print a bilingual letterpress wedding invitation:

1) You can print two copies of the wedding invite, one in English and the other in the language of your choice. This style of bilingual wedding invite makes it easy for the bride to choose what invitation style each guest will receive.

2) You can print one invitation set with both languages. This is a little simpler bilingual wedding invitation design and makes it easier when actually sending the invites to the guests.

If you have any questions about bilingual wedding invitation designs please do not hesitate to ask.

“My bilingual invitations are GORGEOUS!!!! I love them! Thank you so much for all of your help!!!!” ~ Maria

Buying your wedding invitations can be a difficult and confusing process. With everything else on every bride’s wedding planning plate, thinking about wedding invitations is sometimes the last thing that anyone wants to do. To help solve a little bit of the problem and make the selection process a little easier, I decided to give you some really simple tips that every bride should consider before ordering their wedding invitations.

To Letterpress or Not, that Is the Question

Letterpress printing provides wedding invitations with a unique quality and aesthetic character that is impossible to find with any other printing method. Letterpress wedding invitations are the most exquisite form of invitation printing available, and if you are looking for a way to make a strong impression upon your guests you cannot find a better way. Though some brides run into the question of how they can find affordable letterpress wedding invitations…

Online Seasonal Discount Specials

Whether you are choosing letterpress, digital or offset, spending the time to find wedding invitation specials is sure to make the whole process a lot more affordable. Online discounts and special deals on autumn letterpress printing can end up saving you hundreds of dollars, and should not be overlooked.

Do It Yourself

DIY is a growing trend among 21^st century brides, and in certain situations should not be overlooked. Making your own envelope liners or addressing each envelope with calligraphy or special colors are two simple ways that brides are making their own impression with their wedding invitations.

If you are looking for a wonderful way to make a bold first impression with your wedding invitations, then you have come to the right place. Letterpress wedding invitations designs hold an understated elegance that is impossible to beat with any other printing method. When thinking about your guest’s first impressions of your reception, ceremony or save the date cards, don’t forget the power and appeal of letterpress printing.

Take it one step further:

Foil Stamping

Nothing spices up your wedding invitation quite like a little foil stamping. It comes in a variety of colors (not just silver and gold) and can be applied to your invitation set in fun and interesting ways. When added to your invitation, foil stamping creates a glistening shine that always helps to heighten your guests first impressions of your wedding celebration.

Colors Galore

Many brides are afraid of straying from the traditional white paper with black text invitation style. If you are looking to make a strong first impression with your letterpress wedding invitation designs, then consider mixing and matching different colors combinations that suite your personality, wedding theme or season. Adding some personalized colors can work wonders in helping you achieve that exceptional first impression that you want.

After receiving her invitations from us, see what this bride’s first impression was:

“I received my invitations yesterday. They look AMAZING!! I can’t wait to give them out to my family and friends. Thanks again!!!” ~ Linda

Have any of you seen the birthday cakes that they put pictures on? If you bring a picture to the right supermarket or specialty bakery, they will use different colors of frosting to “print” the picture onto the top of the cake. I have no idea how it actually happens, but I still find the process rather fascinating.

I was at a wedding about a year ago where the bride and groom did this. First they had a professional photographer take a couple different portraits of them before the wedding. Then they chose their favorite one and had it printed on the top layer (only two layers) of the cake. It made for a lively discussion during the reception and overall was a hit. And no, the groom did not put any cake in the bride’s face, that would just be weird.

Speaking of photos though, another great place to include a picture is somewhere in the wedding invitation. This couple decided the best way to invite people to share in their love was to include photos in their save the date card that expressed how they felt about each other.

While thinking about your letterpress wedding invitations, why not include a special photo of you and your betrothed? It can add an extra special vibe to your invitation set.
