Letterpress Wedding Invitations
Letterpress wedding invitations are not a new trend. In fact, they’re one of the oldest styles to date yet for a long time they were reserved for the most formal weddings.
Today, letterpress is regarded as a formal wedding printing style and, as such, it reigns as one of the most sought-after printing choices for couples. However, it’s not limited to formal weddings alone.
Letterpress is quality you can feel, a unique feature you won’t find on other printing styles.

What Is Letterpress?
Letterpress is a printing style created from a hard-raised image under pressure. It uses something called viscous ink: ink is applied to the raised surface and paper is actually pressed directly against it to transfer the text or image. Letterpress printing is one of the oldest printing techniques and is one you can actually feel with your fingertips.

What do you think of these letterpress wedding invitations? Which one is your favorite? I love the Oak Tree invitations (#9) and the Blushing invites (#10), although I do like them all. It’s fun how you can really customized your invitations to coordinate with your wedding colors and theme.

You’ll also love these Save the Dates we shared recently from their shop, if you’re just about to tell your friends and family the exciting news about setting the date. Or perhaps you’re newly engaged (welcome!) at which case, you’ll need these. :)
Happy Planning!
