Letterpress Wedding Invitations
Congratulations on your upcoming wedding! We understand the important role invitations will play in your special day. You’ll want them to beautifully reflect your unique style as a couple, as well as communicate important information. We would be happy to design and letterpress print wedding invitations for you. Alternately, if you’re a graphic designer or you’re working with a designer, we can letterpress print a design you provide to us.
We need six to twelve weeks to complete wedding invitations.
If you hire us for both the design and printing of your invitations, please plan on a 12 week window to complete this work. We need plenty of time to get to know you and learn all about the ideas you have for your invitations. We also need time to design and present ideas back to you. If you hire us to print only, plan on a six week window. This should give us plenty of time to get your project into our workflow, order plates, paper, envelopes, and get them printed with the attention they deserve.
Calculate your print deadline.
One of the first things we’re going to ask is, “When do you need these by?” Your print deadline is the date you want the printed invitations in your hands. Start by knowing the date of your wedding and work backwards from there:
1. Date of your wedding.
2. Date you want your guests to reply to you by (X weeks before wedding).
3. Date you want your guests to receive the invitations by (X weeks before wedding).
4. Date you want to mail your invitations by (X weeks before wedding).
5. How do you plan to address the envelopes? Depending on the number of invitations and the method used for addressing, this amount of time can vary. For example, will you use a digital printing service, hire a calligrapher, or handwrite each address yourself? Try to estimate the number of days or weeks this task might take.
6. Good job working back this far! Somewhere near this date is the print deadline you’ll give to us.
