Gutenberg Would be Proud

I seem to be on a pretty paper kick lately (and by lately I mean for the past year that we've been engaged). I have gathered so much invitation inspiration and I'm just dying to share it with... well, with anyone who will listen really, I'm not picky! But, since this is a wedding blog and all I figured you are much more interested than anyone else I know so... Shall we take a looksie?

Oh, but first, I need to get this out in the open.

My name is Miss Coyote and I am obsessed with letterpress. Seriously, it's bad.

Wait, wait, wait. I'm sorry to interrupt, but can we just get a close-up of that last one?

Siiiiiigh. Yeah, that's the stuff. / Image via InvitedInk on Esty

Once I started collecting letterpress inspiration it was difficult to stop. I wanted to adopt every cute little invitation set I found and give them warm and loving homes. Yes, I am both a crazy cat lady and a crazy invitation lady. You can find me on my rocking chair petting both my kittens and my letterpress invitations. Soooo soooooft. 

Anyways, as beautiful as they are, caring for letterpress invitations isn't cheap and I have a feeling that the adoption fees for 100 letterpress invitations just isn't in the budget right now. I mean, I can barely afford to take care of these guys:

And so, the hunt continues.

Is anyone else as smitten with letterpress invitations as I am?

  1. oh boy, I am totally obsessed with letterpress. I've searched high and low for the cheapest prices and I've convinced myself I NEED them. It's terrible. I think I've contacted about 8 designers so far. It's terrible but now that I've considered them, I don't think I can go back. The style is just so beautiful.
