Creating Vintage Letterpress Invitations
At Page creating vintage letterpress invitations for your needs it paramount. A vintage wedding invitation or personal stationery is not just about how it is printed. I think all letterpress printing is pretty much vintage anyway. It is about how the invitation or card is designed and if it looks vintage. A bride might really be striving for that “vintage” look and feel and this ultimately gets back to the paper and the presswork.
The Paper
There are many options to choose from when you make your paper selection. The paper can really give you the look and feel and provide you with that vintage look and feel. Just like our unique holiday cards, the moment you see them you know that they are the nicest Christmas cards you will ever see. Why? because the paper is so thick and the printing is so deep and there may be a real photograph attached. You just don’t see cards like this in today’s digital world.
Design
No matter the letterpress printing or the thickness of the paper, none of that would matter without the attention to design detail and use of fonts correctly. This is the real truth behind creating a vintage or traditional letterpress invitations. A great designer.
