Paper Color

WHITE & EGGSHELL

We offer two paper colors to choose from.Our white paper is a crisp, ultra-white, while our eggshell is more of an off-white.

We recommend using a double ply weight for your main invitation and keeping all other inserts single ply. A double ply main invitation gives your suite an elevated look, while all other inserts printed on single ply paper keeps your envelope USPS friendly and not too heavy.Other items that pair well with double ply:.

Digital

Digital printing (also called flat printing) is the tpyical print method you probably think of. This type of printing is not limited by multiple colors or designs, has a fast turn-around time, and is cost effective. Digital printing is a great option for accurately displaying artistic renderings like water color paintings, sketches, and more.

Letterpress

Letterpress is a printing process where a raised design plate is inked (one ink at a time) and then pressed by machine into the paper, leaving an indentation. The result is always stunning. Not only is it visually beautiful, but it's hard not to run your hands over it. The tactile quality and weight to a letterpress design is unique to this art form. Letterpress prints one ink at a time, using ink mixed by hand. Because of the added time and labor the process involved, letterpress is more expensive. More ink colors can be added, however, it increases the price because of the additional time it takes to mix the ink, clean the press, and re-ink. 

Blind Impression

You may have seen examples where part of the design was pressed without using ink -- this is called blind impression (and it's awesome!). This is a great way to add depth and dimension to a piece without adding color. We do want to note the process to set up a blind impression is the same as letterpress. The only difference is that the plate is not inked.

What would I do for my wedding??? Thought you would never ask! If I had a robust budget for paper, I would do letterpress all the way. It's classic, and never goes out of style. Because letterpress has more of a crisp/line drawn feeling, I would add an envelope liner to capture more of a painted/watercolor style. All liners are digitally printed, so sky is the limit when it comes to color. If budget was more of a concern, I would letterpress the main invitation only and digitally print the other inserts. This gives your main invitation an elevated look, full of texture, while keeping the cost down with a digitally printed RSVP and details card. Best of both worlds! When it comes to day-of items, I would digitally print everything - with the exception of the menu. A letterpressed menu is *chef's kiss*.

This is so much fun. If I were to redo my wedding suite and budget wasn't a factor, I would really focus on the small details that make a suite feel incredibly unique. I would have a letterpressed 6x9 invitation and double thick paper with painted edges. I'd do custom envelopes in a bold color with a patterned interior liner, paired with handwritten addresses, and probably a funky stamp. The RSVP card and envelope would be like sister items to the main invite and envelopes -- realated but different. To continue the fun, I'd have my details card be a custom shape of something we love as a couple, like a pink pong paddle or Florida. This suite really focuses on the (seemingly) small details that take a long time to do -- but really set things apart. Say budget was a factor, I would create my suite within the structures of straight forward sizes and shapes, but go bold on thoughtful graphics (fun illustrations! patterns! colors!). I think a letterpressed main invitation (even on a budget) is doable, and so, so great. I would have the rest of my pieces digitally printed and rely on the graphics and color choices to carry the concept. I'd have to buy stamps anyway, so I would absolutely go for a fun one.  My stamp of choice is the Eugenie Clark 2022 stamp - it feels like a love letter to fun women, Sarasota, Mote Marine, and sharks -- everything you want on stamp, haha. My advice is to be as personal as possible in the suite, and to give your friends and family an idea of how your wedding weekend will feel, and mostly, to have fun with it.
