This letterpress wedding suite was printed last fall for a Victorian Christmas wedding. Often I have the bride & groom looking for budget letterpress and I usually recommend a wedding suite with one ink color in that situation. So many people shy away from estimates if it includes only one ink color, however I wanted to provide an example of how beautiful a suite with one ink color can look! This couple had their budget pretty conservative but needed a lot of pieces in the suite so on the initial consult I provided an estimate for a 1 color suite. Since I was working with a designer (the groom), he was open to the option as well. In the end, it was printed on the thick 110# paper, and included was the reply/food option insert as well as a directions/map insert along with the initial invitation and outer envelope. When utilizing illustration in your wedding invitation design, you can really pack a lot into your design with only one ink color and still have it impress your recipients, so don’t rule it out from the beginning!

These are beautiful! And I agree, one-colour can look just as impressive as two-colour, it all comes down to the design, and of course, letterpress! It’s like a magic wand to make any and all stationery look gorgeous.

Wow. Those are some really stunning invitations. Thanks for sharing your work, it’s inspiring to see others letterpress printing, makes me want to quit the computer design work altogether and smell that ink on my hands every day.
