Watch a Video of Your Wedding Invitation Being Printed

After printing one our most popular letterpress wedding invitation designs we decided it was time to start filming a little more of what goes on behind the scenes here at Invitations by Ajalon.

So we brought out the camera, set up the lights and action: Printing the Fleur letterpress wedding invitation design video!

For those of you without sound, I will include the commentary below.

“We recently printed one of our Fleur invitation sets and we wanted to make a video to show our letterpress printing in action.

Once we are done printing the invitation and the RSVP both go into the cutter.

After a few quick cuts your invitation is ready to be sent to your guest.”

I hope you enjoyed the short show!

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).

New South Asian Wedding Invitation
Unique Foil and Custom Colors
Introducing Avani!

Friday, October 9th, 2009

We recently attended the Day of the Diva Bridal showcase in Orange County. Invitations by Ajalon was located in the South Asian section and unveiled many of our newest letterpress invitation sets for Sprint 2010 weddings.

Combining the beauty and classical aura that gold foil conveys with the deep emotion that textured violet paper brings, Avani was a solid hit for the bride and her guests. As well as being a favorite among the crowds at Day of the Diva!

The beautiful foil design carries over to the RSVP and reception cards. At the same time, this elegant design is perfect for any celebration, from a formal wedding to fun family reunion.

Just when you thought this invitation set could not get any better, it is available in a host of different paper selections and the color of the foil is fully customizable.

After receiving her invitation set, this bride was overwhelmed with joy:

“The invitations came out AMAZING, a million times more beautiful than I ever have imagined them. The colors all turned out to be a perfect match and the gold foil is absolutely stunning. I am speechless.” – Sindhu

Remember, everything we create is can be altered to fit your personality and wedding theme. If you like part of a design, but want to take the invitation set in a different direction, feel free to ask and it will be our pleasure to help create the perfect invitation set for you.
