Renewed interest in letterpress was fueled by Martha Stewart Weddings magazine, which began using pictures of letterpress invitations in the 1990s. The beauty and texture became appealing to brides who began wanting letterpress invitations instead of engraved, thermographed, or offset-printed invitations. At the same time, presses were being discarded by commercial print shops, and became affordable and available to artisans throughout the country. When speaking of letterpress, the goal is to have the impression be evident, to distinctly note that is letterpress.
So with that in mind, i was lucky enough to design the 'Nicole' invitation you see above, printed and letterpressed with 2 colours, with a matching rsvp and wishing well card, tied neatly together with a matching french ribbon. The perfect impression for your truly classic wedding day.
