    Wedding Invitations for Jon & Christen
    February 9, 2012

    Letterpress Wedding Invitations

    Today we’re posting photos of a wedding invitation we printed for Jon & Christen for their Long Island summer wedding. Jon, creative director at Long Island Press, designed the invitation suite. We wanted to share the set because it mixes letterpress and flat printing, something that we’ve been doing more of lately. You can check out Jon & Christen’s wedding website at sasalas.com.

    The suite contained an A7 invitation, 4-bar reply postcard, and A7 directions card. The invitation was letterpress printed and the reply and directions cards were flat printed. The invite was printed in two colors: blue and green. The text used for their names has a closely registered outline shadow, which shows up nice when letterpress printed.

    The reply and directions cards use the same design elements as the invite. The RSVP card is actually a postcard, printed on both sides, which eliminates the need for an extra envelope.

      A really beautiful piece of letterpress. Well done for keeping this process alive. Litho is so boring!
