Okay I found these letterpress invitations that I absolutely love on here. I know they get really pricey but does anyone know of some nice ones that are affordable? I'm looking for some like these:




My other options are pocketfolds or boxed invitations.

Thanks in advanced!!!

    What do you consider cheap?

    Letterpress isn't cheap. They price it high because each invitation is hand pressed. Prices are similar to engraving. Unlike engraving, there's not really a cheaper version (thermography has the look and feel of engraving but is a cheaper process; most people can't tell the difference, but a lot can).

    Check a local shop that offers letterpress and see if they're running deals.

    I have thermography invitations from MyGatsby.com. I don't know if I'd consider them cheap, though.

    FYI, mygatsby does have letterpress, just in fewer design options.

    I didn't use them, but I came across this site that usually has a special running-- 100 invites for less than $500. http://invitationsbyajalon.com/specials.html

    I can't say anything about the quality, but it was among the best pricing I found when I wanted letterpress. Also check Etsy.

    [QUOTE]In Response to Re: Letterpress Invitations for cheap? : I hope you didn't think I meant thermography is cheap. It's cheaper than engraving is all I meant. A lot of people go w/ thermography because they want that engraved look without spending a ton more on them. It's a great alternative! However, I've not come across a good looking low-cost version of letterpress.

    <div>Oh no! It's just that I don't know what the OP considers cheap. I'm not sure what engraving or letterpress costs because I wasn't interested in looking into it, but my invites are probably about $7+ each, including postage, when all is said and done.</div>
