How important is your wedding? Want your wedding invitations to be a work of art rather than just a piece of paper? Choose Letterpress! Letterpress has been around for over 500 years but has recently become popular again in wedding invitations! Letterpress is somewhat of a lost art and is a little hard to find. It takes more time and requires special equipment. Not that it’s high-tech, it’s actually the opposite. Letterpress is done using metal type and custom engraved plates and is pressed into thick paper leaving an impression. It costs more due to the somewhat rare equipment and the labor involved. But, letterpress wedding invitations have a unique old fashioned, high-quality feel you can’t find anywhere else.
Want to see the lost art of letterpress in action? Checkout this clip from a PBS special at your own risk. It will make you want to spend the extra money on letterpress wedding invitations.
