Printing Invites? Letterpress? Gocco?

Archel · July 2010

I'm designing my own invites but am researching where to have them printed. I need help! I want the invites to be embossed, so that you can see and feel the indentation of the print in the paper. I don't know whether to use a letterpress service or a wedding invite business like "All About Weddings." Or, if this is do-able on a Gocco and if so, does anyone have one I can borrow?

It's a really simple job, I don't want any design on it, just the text embossed. What did you do?

*ETA: I actually meant "debossing" as opposed to embossing.

I really wanted letterpress too so I did go to All About Weddings and I loved my invitations. I love the Gocco results that I've seen so far (Tygirl's invitations) but it sounds like it may be pretty laborious!

tygirl told me about minuteman press. They have a pretty great website, but I didn't go so far as to check prices. They are a chain printing store.

i think letterpress looks so rich and beautiful.

goccos seem like too much work/money and don't always turn out crisp looking.

Hey Ladies-

Checkout Iron Curtain Press at www.ironcurtainpress.com They made up some custom thank you cards for my showers and for the wedding - they turned out absolutely perfect. I definitely recommend them and they are local to Seattle!
