    Wedding Invitation Booklets
    May 29, 2009

    letterpress booklet set

    In our opinion letterpress pieces look best when the text is kept to a minimum and the beauty of the texture and impression is front and center. But sometimes wedding invitations may need to include several inserts such as a reception card, directions & map, registry, accommodations etc…  At Dolce Press we have come up with a solution and are now offering letterpress printed invitation booklets.

    These booklets are the perfect solution for destination weddings as well as save the dates. You can include information on places to stay and other travel details so your guests can be prepared well in advance. When planning a destination wedding, the more time you give your guests the better, especially if they are going to be traveling out of the country.

    We printed this new booklet design for Leah and Zeb in three colors (chartreuse, charcoal, and blind). The pages are cascaded so that the tab for each page is easily read when the invite is closed. Each page is creased which allows the individual cotton pages to easily bend. Creasing is especially important when folding cotton paper, without the crease the paper would crack and bend in the wrong place.

    The finishing touch to these invitation booklets is the perforated reply card which was done in a postcard style.  All your guest have to do is tear off and mail.  Simple and easy! (Don’t forget about the cute rivets in the matching chartruese color holding the neat little booklet together)
