Today there are literally thousands of wedding invitation styles and designs you can choose from. There are couples who go for photo wedding cards. There are couples who like their wedding invitation handmade. Of course, as you might have guessed, many couples prefer to make the letterpress wedding invitations choice.
What makes letterpress style invites so popular is the unique way in which they are printed, a technique that leaves a deep indentation in the paper. It is an effect that cannot be produced in any other way and there is a kind of symbolism that is attached to the style. It portrays an elegance and gives your invitations that little something extra.
Usually, people use 100% cotton paper for letterpress for the soft and elegant feel. What is also great about cotton is that there is no wood fiber used to create it which means it’s also good for the planet. So if you are into using eco-friendly products or reducing your environmental footprints, going with letterpress wedding invitations is one way you can show your concern and care for the environment.
Ideally you will want to try get your hands on a sample of whatever invitation design you are intending to go with. This will give you the chance to first make sure you not only like the design and type of paper but that the quality is also up to scratch. Do remember that the paper used for letterpress wedding invitations is not suited for printing photos.
