Starting your search for wedding invitations presents you with a wide variety of printing methods to choose from, including engraved, offset, digital and others. You know you want an elegant and stylish invitation, but are unsure which one to choose. One of the best ways to show your style of elegance is with letterpress invitations.
This print process works well with a variety of paper. Many printers suggest 100% cotton paper as the softness of the sheet provides the first class crisp printing look many brides are after. Wedding cards and wedding invitations printed using the letterpress method can be eco-friendly too. For example, recycled and organic papers are frequently used for letterpress invitations.
Authentic letterpress is an artisan craft that is part skill and part art. One cost included in the price will be for the plate used to press the text. Labor costs are also included because each piece of stationery requires the press to be torn down and set up again. Another reason printing letterpress invitations and wedding cards can be pricey is that the presses are usually not run-of-the-mill print shops. They are frequently owned and operated by artists who do the printing as well as the design work. That means you're not only paying for printing wedding cards and other stationery but also for design and layout.
The variety is relative depending on the company you choose. A small mom-and-pop printer might take up to 4-6 weeks to deliver product, while a larger company can print letterpress invitations and wedding cards within a few days. Since invites should be mailed about 8-12 weeks before the big day, make sure you order in plenty of time to assemble and address your letterpress invitations.
The wording on invitations is yet another way the classic differs from the modern wedding invitation. Wedding etiquette decrees specific phrases and tenor for the wedding invitation, but many modern couples are eschewing the traditional to make their wedding invitations a statement of their personal feelings and beliefs.
As for the history of letterpress, Johannes Gutenberg invented this process over 500 years ago and it was used to print the first Christian Bibles. To further explain letterpress printing, it is a classic and elegant way to invite guests to your formal affair. Most brides consider using this method for invitations. Letterpress can also be used to print many of the other wedding related documents such as thank you notes and RSVP cards.
The companies that deal with printing of the wedding cards mainly focus on providing you the aesthetic satisfaction as they strive to provide you with the most complicated deliveries of wedding cards at a very short notice. Some really great companies feature bold, modern graphics in striking styles and colors. Well-known companies turn letterpress on its ear with innovative designs of the cards themselves, not only the letterpress invitations. A simple online search can find you just the right letterpress invitations for your budget as well as your personal unique tastes.
