Re: Cost of Letterpress Invitations

We were quoted over $1100 for 150 tea length invites, 2 colors, plus 1 color RSVP cards and no printing on the envelopes. (these were from the William Arthur book at Papyrus)

Letterpress is not cheap and there are not a lot of places that do it, though it looks awesome. I found a few places on the internet that were cheaper, but I didn't thouroughly research it.

We ended up not doing letterpress and I DIYed my invites.

I hope this helps!

Re: Cost of Letterpress Invitations

Thanks...this definitely helps.

My whole issue is that i'm on a tight budget. My boss knows how I've been working at keeping to a number, but offered the services of her sister who does this on the side. Originally, I was thinking it would be at a discount...but now I'm not so sure (after talking with her).

Anyway, atleast now I know what to expect. Thanks again.
