The Love of Letterpress

With the 2011 wedding season well underway, one thing has become very clear  – brides are loving letterpress this year! Letterpress is one of the oldest printing processes involving the pressing of plates with text into soft, supple paper resulting in a crisp, clean impression that one can’t help but run a finger over to actually feel its beauty. Combined with stunning modern designs, letterpress is clearly making a comeback in the 21st century wedding invitation. Although a bit pricier than other printing methods like thermography or offset printing because of its labor-intensive nature (a person literally has to manually press the plate into each invitation piece), brides this season clearly feel it is worth the extra investment to ensure their invitation not only makes a lasting impression but truly sets the tone for their wedding as an event not to be missed!
