Why Custom: The Benefits of Choosing Custom Letterpress Wedding Invitations

Your wedding is a day unlike any other, and every detail should reflect your unique love story. Custom luxury letterpress wedding invitations go beyond simply sharing the date and location of your big day. They set the tone, express your style, and create a sense of anticipation for your guests. At Someday Letterpress, our custom invitation process offers an unparalleled combination of personalized design, luxurious letterpress printing, and thoughtful touches to make your stationery truly extraordinary.

Custom Design: Your Vision, Perfectly Captured

When you choose a custom invitation suite, you’re not limited to pre-designed templates. Instead, you collaborate directly with a designer to bring your vision to life. Whether you dream of incorporating a specific motif, color palette, or your favorite floral elements, custom invitations ensure that your stationery reflects your wedding’s aesthetic. From romantic scripts to bold, modern layouts, every element is tailored to your preferences, making your invitations one-of-a-kind.

Custom design also allows you to include meaningful personal touches. Perhaps you’d like to feature a monogram that celebrates your union or showcase a design inspired by your wedding venue. With custom invitations, the possibilities are endless, and your stationery will feel as special as the day itself.

Letterpress Printing: Timeless Elegance

At Someday Letterpress, we use the artisanal method of letterpress printing to create invitations that exude sophistication and quality. Unlike digital printing, letterpress presses each design into luxurious, cotton-based paper, leaving an elegant, tactile impression. This handcrafted process results in stationery that feels as exquisite as it looks.

The richness of letterpress lies in its attention to detail. From the depth of the impression to the texture of the paper, every piece is meticulously crafted to ensure perfection. It’s a printing method that not only elevates your invitations but also gives your guests something tangible to admire and treasure.

Upgrades and Embellishments: Luxury in Every Detail

Custom invitations allow you to add luxurious upgrades and embellishments that further enhance your suite. Some of the options available include:

• Wax Seals: A timeless detail that adds charm and sophistication.
• Hand-Dyed Silk Ribbon: Perfect for wrapping your suite together in an elegant bundle.
• Envelope Liners: A beautiful surprise for your guests when they open their invitation.
• Deckled Edges: For a soft, romantic look that pairs beautifully with letterpress.

These embellishments are more than decorative; they transform your invitations into keepsakes that your guests will cherish long after your wedding day.

Venue Sketches: A Personalized Touch

A custom venue sketch is one of the most unique features we offer in our custom suites. Whether it’s a drawing of the vineyard where you’ll exchange vows or the grand hall where your reception will take place, a venue sketch adds a layer of personalization that’s impossible to replicate. This thoughtful detail not only sets your invitations apart but also gives your guests a preview of the magical setting they’ll be a part of.

A Hands-Off Experience: Stress-Free from Start to Finish

Planning a wedding is exciting, but it can also be overwhelming. That’s why we aim to make your stationery experience as seamless and stress-free as possible. When you choose custom invitations, you’re entrusting a professional to handle every detail, so you can focus on enjoying this special time in your life.

Here’s what’s included in our hands-off experience:

• Guest Addressing: We take care of digitally printing your guest addresses or coordinating hand-calligraphy to match your suite.
• Etiquette Guidance: Unsure of how to word your invitations or address tricky situations? We’re here to help with expert advice.
• Assembly: We are tying all the ribbons and melting all the wax! We carefully assemble each invitation suite to ensure your guests experience every thoughtful detail as intended, creating a moment of awe as they open their envelopes.
• Mailing Services: We assemble and mail your invitations directly to your guests (within Canada), taking one more thing off your to do list.
• Keepsake Suite: We will be shipping two keepsake suites for you to keep and treasure. These suites will have all the bells and whistles even if not part of your original upgrades.

This white glove approach allows you to relax, knowing that every aspect of your wedding stationery is handled with care and precision.

You have the time.

The custom process takes time, this is why I encourage my clients to book 10-12 months before their wedding, especially if they are needing Save the Dates. Custom invitations take time to design and to source the perfect colour of velvet ribbon that will coordinate perfectly with your personalized wax seal. If you are looking for a venue sketch, watercolor artwork or even a puppy portrait, all these things take time. Nothing is cookie cutter, it’s all about YOU.

Why Custom Is Worth It?

While semi-custom invitations are a beautiful and affordable option, custom stationery offers a level of personalization and luxury that’s unmatched. It’s an investment in creating a lasting impression on your guests and a tangible keepsake of your wedding day. From the design process to the final mailing, every step is thoughtfully curated to ensure your invitations reflect your love story.
