What’s a letterpress wedding invitation?

Letterpress is for sure our favorite printing process for wedding invitations! 

Letterpress is a printing process where a metal plate or nowadays a photo-polymer plate creates a deep texture impression on the paper with a matte finish color ink creating a luxurious perfect to the touch texture.

The perfect paper for this process is 100% cotton or handmade paper! 

Cost for letterpress invitations is on the high end and for good reasons. It’s a handmade process using legendary presses like the Heidelberg which presses one individual invitation at a time. Ink colors are also hand mixed. All of these details give your invitation a distinct beauty and character!

This process works wonders with our modern and minimalist style. We love the monochromatic feel of a whole letterpress invitation suite! You can also combine this process with foil or digital print and create a luxurious rich to the feel invitation to set the tone for your upcoming wedding.
