invitations - raised font or no??

I was thinking about DIY my invitations..

does it matter these days with the raised font versus flat? think its called thermography???

just curious...

nah...no difference. i don't think ppl care about it that much. a lot of girls are going the DIY route and don't have the thermography printing!

I had the raised font and I think it looks beautiful!

raised is a nice choice but you have to figure out if its worth the money vs. the DIY. I work at a print shop and the girls who get raised print are typically paying $250 more then me doing my own invitations myself.

I think it's nice. We didn't have raised font and we did not DIY. I just loved my invites the way they were.

Raised is nice but if you want to save money go with regular printing.

do whatever is in your budget. i think the raised is beautiful, but i always think in the back of my head...these are ultimately getting thrown out.

A raised font was more expensive and I think flat looks just as nice.
Plus I don't want to spend a ton of money on invitations were most people are going to throw them away.

Raised font looks very lovely and elegant but costs a lot more. If you have your heart set on it then go ahead. But it's not neccesary if you find something else you like.

we did thermography.... we LOVED letterpress but it was WAY too expensive, and we didn't want them printed flat... so we thought it was a good inbetween!

I think it's a matter of personal taste, and the type of invitation. The more formal or fancy, you should use thermography. For something simple, or classic you can use flat print. It's also a matter of personal style. I like raised...but flat looks nice too.

we're getting flat... i think raised is nicer but who really cares? lol I didn't know the difference before I was planning a wedding and I doubt anyone else does either. Just do what you like and can afford.
