You Want It, We Can Help!

Friday, May 7th, 2010

Between wedding planners and overly enthusiastic parents, finding out what type of wedding invitation you really want can be a difficult task. From different printing methods (letterpress, offset, digital) to wedding invitation designs, I understand how confusing and time consuming choosing your wedding invitation can be.

That is why when you find a printer that not only has excellent customer service and one of the widest selections of wedding invitation designs (not to mention an amazing special on letterpress wedding invitations), it makes sense to at least initiate contact. Even if you are not sure exactly what you are looking for, you can see based upon the response, what type of people you could be working with.

Whether you are looking for custom letterpress wedding invitation designs, new ways to do it yourself wedding details (DIY), South Asian or Indian, bilingual or venue-themed invitation designs, feel free to check out our gallery and see what interests you.

3 Ways to Save Money On Your Wedding Invitations
Without Sacrificing Quality
The Budget Bride’s Bible

Friday, December 4th, 2009

Brides to be, I know the economy is rough right now. While the talking heads on the television seem to indicate things are improving, for most people the penny pinching is long from over. While letterpress printing can be a little expensive, there are all kinds of different ways to save money and still have the invitation set of your dreams. To help you decide how to have your wedding invitations printed, I would like to give you a couple simple suggestions:

Printing the RSVP information on the Envelope

This saves the added cost of printing an extra piece of paper, and is particularly useful for those tech savvy brides that are coordinating RSVP information through a website. While this is not traditional etiquette, these are not traditional times. This is a great way to save money on postage  and actually looks quite beautiful!

Combine Enclosure Cards

Instead of printing two separate pieces for your insert cards, consider combining two cards into one. Not only is this eye catching and chic in all the right ways, but it also saves you money.

Mix Offset or Digital with Letterpress

While the impression, texture and emotional response that a letterpress wedding invitation evokes is unbeatable, if you are on a budget you might consider printing the RSVP, directions or envelopes on an offset press or digitally. Production costs are reduced and the printers will pass that savings on to you.

This bride saved by printing a digital rsvp so she could splurge on ribbon and a second paper layer for her invitation:

But also remember this is your special day. While costs should be a consideration, do not excessively cut back on the quality of the invitation you have been dreaming about just so you can save a little extra money. There are several different options that make it possible to have a beautiful letterpress invitation set that doesn’t cost an arm and a leg (or your firstborn).
