Design 101: The Letterpress Invitations
Your letterpress wedding invitations are a primary part of the overall wedding package. The wedding invitation is also the first thing that your guest see prior to the wedding. Some guests may even decide to keep the invitation asa keepsake. In order for them to do this it must be elegant and eye catching to say the least. It really will set the them and look of your wedding from that point forward. Usually a bride and groom will customize their invitation to make it truly person and unique to their taste.
There are so many options when it comes to designs for invitations today. They are almost endless. What I recommend is either letterpress or engraving for your invitations. These are the most elegant and the oldest forms of printing out there. They really provide an such a glamourous and detailed effect that will make your invitation stand out among others. Either way you decide to go, cost will be about the same for each of these medium. There are many pricing options available as well.
Engraved invitations are very beautiful. A skilled craftsman etches the text of the invitation, backwards, onto a piece of copper metal which is known as the die. The raised print that results from using the die comes from using a press to push the paper into the inked die. When a person looks at the back of the invitation, they will be able to see the indention made in the paper as a result of using this process. These invitations do not have to follow any sort of traditional format, but often use formal language.
Letterpress invitations are one the cleanest and most precise ones out there. As more people share a growing concern for the environment and want to do their part to ensure they are reducing their carbon footprint, more people are turning toward using letterpress wedding invitations. Earlier letterpress was done with handset movable type that is inked and then pressed into the paper. Today more boutique letterpress companies use photopolymer plates and aluminum bases for letterpress jobs instead of movable type. Since the paper is thick cotton, these invitations have a very distinct handmade feel with additional textured elements because of the depth of the printing.
If you are on a wedding budget you definitely want to be sure to include room for either letterpress or engraved invitations. Don't cut yourself short and go for thermography or digital printing. You will always wish you had gone for the better option. Remember this is your wedding and you want to make it sizzle so get what you want and don't worry about the cost.
For many who are still in the decision stages of what sort of invitation to do for the wedding and who to hire, it is important to realize that the paper is one of the most expensive elements in the invitation. Using a high quality paper will ensure the invitation will withstand the elements of time, and as many people will use the invitation as a keepsake, this is incredibly important. Do not sacrifice paper quality to cut down the overall price. It will be a decision you'll regret later.
