Press the Button: Invites

Press the Button: Invites

When last we met on the subject of invites, I was working out some kinks. Suffice it to say, the kinks have been worked out because I got the letterpress portion of my invites in the mail last week!

I never revealed the final design, so here it is.

So, I packaged this design in InDesign and sent it off to my letterpress printer, Lucky Duck Press. He’s reasonably priced and easy to work with, so it was a pretty simple process. About a month later, I got my 50 invites and envelopes back. Without further ado, our invites.

I’m refraining from a full reveal because… the rest of the suite isn’t done! I’m flat printing the other components and I have yet to do it. Let’s just hope they’re done in a month.

Did you DIY your invite design and have them letterpressed? What printer did you use and how did they turn out?

nice work! I got inspired on letterpress invitations but they get over my budget. So I designed my invitation in corel based on a smock invitation but flat printed.

I love letterpress, but want to diy. I ddin’t even think to design it and send it to a letterpress printer. Great idea! I love the font and layout of yours, can’t wait to see the rest!

The plan is to DIY our design (almost done) then pay for thermographic printing, which is still raised-letter but a bit cheaper than letterpress. Still waiting on some quotes to get back to see if that’s possible.
