Tessa Invites

So I'm wondering for those of you who have used Tessa....is the wording on the invites raised and professional looking or is it printed on the paper, as if it was done at a home printer (or inkjet)?
Her work is amazing and I'm considering using her but I'm just curious about this one thing!
TIA!!

It is printed, not raised, but it's very good, tight registration. I just got my proof today in the mail, and can attest that the quality of the printing is excellent. Printing is part of my line of business, so I'm very fussy if something it out of whack, and these were great.

She doesn't do letterpress. But my proof looked BEAUTIFUL - cannot wait for the final product. I think if you want that custom feel where you have a say in the design and use of color etc., she's very affordable for the quality of work she does. If you are looking for traditional letterpress, that's not really her thing. One more thing I'd mention, she has 100% been my favorite vendor to work with. She just is upbeat and wants you to be happy with her work and she genuinely loves what she does. And I love that.

Re: Tessa Invites

I received my invites last week and I too can tell you they came out great! I have a really good printer at home myself and I could never print out invites with that kind of quality!

Thanks, Girls! So you don't think it looks a bit more prefessional to have letterpress, than laserjet?
I guess if the designs are impeccable (and from what I've seen they are!) than no one would even notice the raised lettering!

Ill be honest, letterpress and raised letters i think are very diff!!!!!! Letterpress i really dont love. It just didnt strike my fancy u know? Raised lettering is diff, letterpess is pushed in, raised is literally raised hahaha. THe raised is very pretty, but it depends on who is doingthe design!!! some can be horrible as well!!!

i thought i would need to have raised also and that my fam would push us to do raised, BUT we al absolutely LOVE Tessas invite she made for us, and that its much more wonderful than anything ive ever seen!!!! its so us and so absolutely PERFECT!

so long story short i think if u love ur proof,, with laserjet, go for it! she is great so far!

Re: Tessa Invites

Yea seriously she is also my favorite vendor to work with because I am always randomly emailing her with questions and shes ALWAYS patient and upbeat and gives an honest opinion as to what you need and dont need. She's not just looking to get $$ from you, she will DO EVERYTHING to make you happy! And doesnt try to push anything on you! EVER! Shes awesome! I just showed my proof to my MOH and my BM last night and they FELL IN LOVEEEE with it and already are like OMG Hold her name for me for when Im engaged! LOL

But I would reccomend her to anyone shes AWESOME!
