We’ve got some really great offset and digital printing options for wedding invitations in the store right now.  It’s an affordable alternative to some of the pricier printing options, and no compromise on style.

Do you have a lot of text you’d like to include on your invitation.  This couple wanted to include their favorite poem on the invitation itself, which made it quite hard to fit on one panel.  The easy solution:  go with a tri-fold design.  Your 3D invite will be both lovely and info-packed. 

We just got in several affordable new collections we’re really excited about: Designers’ Fine Press, Coral by Dauphine, and Voyage by Paper+Cup Designs.

I love the elegant details and color combination in this border design.

This unique invitation used both letterpress and thermography processes.  The graphics are letterpressed and the text raised slightly with thermography.  Very nice effect.

Lots of stuff happening with this menu with 2-color letterpress and a double-layer mounted card, but they kept it very elegant by going with muted tones.  Very pretty. 

This bird’s nest design is too sweet for words…

There are so many different choices when it comes to the paper stock.  Some types of printing do well on various kinds of stock, others are a bit more limited.  When going with letterpress it is best to use a 100% cotton paper.  This particular invitation was printed on a gorgeously textured handmade paper.

When choosing letterpress, going with a 1-color ink option saves money because it cuts down on set-up.  This client sacrificed no style or beauty by going this route…

Hooray, Lion in the Sun’s first ever blogger event was a great success!  It was really fun and informative for guests, and a great networking opportunity for all!  Thanks to everyone for attending, and a huge thank you to our panel of bloggers:  Vane of  Brooklyn Bride, Anne of From I Will to I Do, Erica of Thoughtful Day, Anne-Marie of Perfect Bound and Bee from Wedding Bee.

We were so inspired by the response that we are hoping to make it more of a regular event, perhaps seasonally.  Stay tuned for more information on our next event.
