    Hi Everyone!

    I just recieved my letterpressed invitations, and they are awesome. I just wanted to share my printer with you because he was great and really reasonable for letterpress (For invitation, rsvp, and addressed envelopes it was only $483 for 100...and that's up to 2 colors) If you've been checking out pricing for letterpress, especially for more than 1 color, it can get REALLY expensive. He designed the invite with what I told him I was looking for and didn't charge extra for the design. We just did it all through e-mail, and if you check out his site, the invite with anchors (at the bottom) is mine... glidewellpress.com

     I'll attach pics when I get them fully assembled (envelope liners, ribbon, etc.)

    Well, he must be working on his site, but here are some images of my invites. I think this is the route I'm going (with ribbon, liners), but am not 100% sure. What do you think?

    Ps. I am not a professional photographer :)

    Those invites look great. Is the $483 just for printing? Did you have to provide your own paper?

    It was actually $453 (have no idea why I first wrote $483), but the total was for 100 invites and their envelopes, which were also printed(design + paper + printing + shipping).

    Is that invite mounted to a navy blue card stock?   Did you do that yourself along w/ the envelope liners and ribbon?

    Actually, it is not mounted to anything (Letterpress is just too pretty to do a lot to it). It has a navy letterpress border that is "bled" off of the page. On a lot of letterpress invites you will see a design that runs off of the page; this is just a border that does the same. I did do the liner and the ribbon myself. I had really wanted the invite to be simple itself, but it looked a little too plain when assembled as it was. I thought it jazzed it up a little bit.

    Thanks for the recommendation and for sharing the pics. They look fabulous!  Oh, and I love the green striped liners with them--great choice.  I was starting to think that I needed to give up on my obsession with getting letterpress, but this is promising!
