How to Choose the Right Wedding Stationery for your Budget and Vision
When someone tells you your letterpress wedding invitations are “just going to end up in the garbage,” you already know your answer. They’re not. Because for you, your invitations aren’t a formality — they’re the first chapter of your wedding story. The question isn’t whether to invest in beautiful stationery. It’s figuring out which kind of beautiful is right for you.
At Someday Press, a boutique letterpress studio in Niagara, Ontario, I create letterpress wedding invitations for three kinds of couples. They all want the real thing — thick cotton paper, that unmistakable impression, the wow when the envelope opens. But their visions and their budgets are beautifully different.
This guide will help you figure out exactly where you fit — whether you’re dreaming of a fully custom suite, looking for semi-custom letterpress wedding invitations that deliver the wow factor without the custom price, or ready to take your existing design straight to the press.
Not sure which experience is right for you?
Take the Someday Press quiz — What is Your Stationery Love Language? — and find out in 60 seconds which letterpress wedding invitation experience was made for your wedding.

For couples who know exactly what they want — and it doesn’t exist yet.

You have a vision. Maybe it’s been living on a Pinterest board for two years. Maybe it’s something you can describe in vivid detail but have never actually seen anywhere. You want custom letterpress wedding invitations that couldn’t have come from anyone else — and you’re prepared to invest in making them real.
Custom couples at Someday Press often come with venue sketches in mind, specific colour palettes that need to be mixed just so, multiple ink colours, custom shapes, foiling, hand-drawn maps of their estate, wax seals, and silk ribbon. They want every insert card to feel intentional. They want guests to hold the invitation and immediately understand the atmosphere of the day.
When someone says “why bother, they just go in the garbage?” you’re already shaking your head. Because yours won’t. Yours will be framed.
Custom letterpress is right for you if…
- You want custom shapes, multiple ink colours, or blind embossed details
- Your wedding stationery budget is $2,500 and up
- You want a venue sketch or custom illustration on your invitations
- You want Paperphine twine, wax seals, or 100% silk ribbon as finishing touches
- You want your wedding invitations to tell your love story from the very first envelope
“Custom letterpress wedding invitations at Someday Press start at $2,500 and include everything — design, printing on thick cotton paper, and your choice of twine and wax seal or silk ribbon.”
Begin Your Story →02 — Semi-Custom Letterpress Wedding Invitations
For couples who want the custom experience — without the custom price tag.
Semi-custom letterpress suite — Someday Press, Niagara
You know what you want. Thick cotton paper with that satisfying weight. The impression of real letterpress you can feel with your fingertip. The “wow” when your guests open the envelope. You’re not willing to settle for flat digital printing — but you also don’t need to start completely from scratch.
Semi-custom letterpress at Someday Press means choosing from one of six carefully designed suites — Katherine, Jessica, Maddeline, Emma, Isabelle, or Chloe — and making it yours together. Your names, your date, your venue, your colours. You get the full letterpress experience, the real cotton paper, and all the elegance of a custom suite at a fraction of the price.
This is for couples with a budget closer to $1,500 who know that beautiful letterpress wedding invitations don’t have to mean compromising on quality. Because with letterpress, they never do.
Semi-custom is right for you if…
- You want real letterpress wedding invitations on thick cotton paper
- Your wedding stationery budget is around $1,500
- You love one of the Someday Press suite designs and want to personalize it
- You want the wow factor without waiting months for a fully custom design
- You don’t want to settle for digital printing when real letterpress is within reach
“Semi-custom letterpress suites are available with optional add-ons including Paperphine twine, wax seals, and 100% silk ribbon.”
