INVITE FAQ & other tidbits

HOW'S PRICING WORK?!

Since every invitation project is unique, pricing letterpress is usually quoted individually. Prices can range from as low as $400 to $4000 and up, but our mid-range custom designed wedding packages probably run between $900 and $1500.

THING TO CONSIDER [that affect price the most]:

  • Number of Colors
    • We print one color at a time. more colors = more time + more materials = more $$$
    • Blind [no ink] printing still counts as a color.
  • Any Extras like Diecutting, Scoring, Perforating, Wrap-around Bands, etc.
  • The Number of Pieces

HOW IN TARNATION DO I EVEN START THIS PROCESS?

Well, we've created a handy-dandy PROJECT FLOWCHART* for figuring out where you are in the process AND a PROCESS FLOWCHART* for seeing what you're about to get yourself into.
