This past Saturday we participated in the Bridal Extravaganza put on by our friends at The Bride and Groom at the Grand America Hotel It was great meeting with a new brides and talking over the details of their wedding.
I thought I would write a blog post that answers some of the variety of questions we received yesterday at the show.
What do you have to offer that is different?
In my opinion, your wedding invites should set the tone for your event. Our clients are ones who are looking for that very thing. They want their guests, when they open their invitation to have a sense of who they are as a couple and the kind of event they will be hosting. Whether you are getting married on a mountain or on the beaches of Hawaii, your invitation is the first taste your friends and family will have of your wedding. We have a wide variety of preset designs and also enjoy working with the clients who want a custom masterpiece. What is letterpress printing?
Letterpress printing is an elegant and stylish printing technique that has been around for hundreds of years. It involves printing the invite design simultaneously while it debosses the image into thick, soft paper. Each invite is printed one at a time and each color is run one at a time. Letterpress work is unmatched in terms of quality and feel. It gives a crispness and visual definition to the final process. Because it is so labor intensive, letterpress is much higher in cost than traditional offset printing.
What is digital printing?
Digital printing is a common printing technique in which in colors can be run at once. Invites are run large format or high volume laser or inkjet printers The print is flat to the touch and invites can be printed quickly in large quantities. It is a great alternative for clients who love great design but don't have the budget for letterpress.
What are your prices?
We have a variety of invitation sets to fit many different clients. Depending on your budget, you may opt for our custom letterpress collection which starts at $1500 per set or we also have our digital collection that starts around $750 a set.
How much time do you need to order and print?
Proper ettiquette suggests you should mail your invites 3-5 weeks in advance. For letterpress jobs we recommend 1 month for design and 2 weeks for print. For digital jobs we recommend 2 weeks for design and 1 week for print.
We look forward to speaking with you regarding your invite needs. For questions regarding consults and pricing, please email here
