FYI Custom Invitation Printing

[Winslet]

Just in case anyone was wondering (which I was, so I emailed them and asked!) paper-source.com will work with customers to create invitation designs as long as they are vector-based, not trademarked or copyrighted without permission, and are in either PDF, AI, TIFF, or ESPS format. This is a dream come true for me (maybe, if the price is right) because I wanted to use a design that a friend of mine had created but was having a hard time finding somewhere to do the letterpress. It's likely that similar paper and/or invitation companies would be able to offer the same service, you just have to ask! You can also check my thread original thread on this topic for some helpful PS user suggestions on how to have a custom letterpress invitation made. https://www.pricescope.com/community/threads/printing-custom-invites.110796/

Thanks, Winslet! Good to know.

ETA: Also, if you are comfortable with it (no worries if not), when you get a quote on this service, it would probably be helpful to quite a few of us to get a ballpark estimates of cost.

Mercurio Brothers does this as well, and they have SUPER cheap letterpress!

I am thinking about having a calligrapher design the suite for $400 or so bucks, and then getting everything printed through them. You just upload the file to them, pick your colors and paper style, and they print them cheap!

Anyone have experience with them? They got rave reviews on a couple of bridal sites. www.mercuriobrothers.com

Very cool, leeNY, thank you for posting! I don''t know WHY I''m so obsessed with researching invites right now considering I should be spending my time narrowing down locations (!!!), but I just am... and am horrified at the costs!
