Here is the short version.
And here is the longer version.
PRINT METHOD
Letterpress printing is the only in-house printing we offer. As the most luxurious of printing methods letterpress gives a tactile impression that won’t be forgotten.
Letterpress is a true art. Each piece is hand fed one at a time, onto the platen of a vintage letterpress printing machine. Each piece is then carefully inspected to make sure it is as high quality as we can achieve! This creates a gorgeous impression. Your wedding guests wont want to throw it away!
QUANTITY
There is a order minimum of 25 for semi-custom items. We encourage you you add 5-10 extra pieces to account for last minute additions to your guest list, and of course make sure you keep at least one for yourselves! Once your order is in the processing stage we are unable to change the quantity of your order.
Payments
All orders must be paid in full before order is fulfilled. Payment can be made by cash, check/ money order, or through online invoice.
