Wedding stationary can take time and cost a lot if you don't know what your options are. Sometimes, you can find a cheaper choice that just looks expensive.
October 23, 2006 (Press Release) --
Wedding invitations can be done in a number of ways – but most engaged couples aren’t familiar with the terms.
Calligraphy – Calligraphy is a flowing method of writing that is rooted in the world’s history. You can hire a calligrapher who has her own set of pens and ink or use digital calligraphy through a printer.
If you’re on a budget, the calligrapher will charge per invitation, so unless you’re having a small affair, you might want to use a different method to create your wedding invitations.
Computer Printing – The great thing about printing your wedding invitations using a computer printer is that it’s affordable – you can either print them yourself or take them to a professional. Plus, there are hundreds of fonts to choose from – including specifics on size and color.
Embossing – This is a simple process of stamping lettering or designs into the invitation – similar to a corporate seal. You can have a professional emboss your invitations, or buy the embossing yourself. If you order it through your printer, it will take several weeks longer so make sure you have the additional time.
Engraving – Wedding invitations with an antique flair might be the perfect choice for someone who wants to engrave their stationary. The design or lettering is etched into a copper plate and the stationary is pressed into the inked plate.
If you want your wedding invitation to have a 3D effect with raised lettering, then you might consider engraving. It might be an expensive option, but if you order in higher bulks, the cost goes down. This method also requires additional time.
Foil Stamps – The design it etched into a copper plate, foil stamps imprint the design or message into your wedding invitation. You can choose from different fonts and it works best if your stationary is heavy weighted with grooves. The pricing for foil stamps is virtually equal to the cost of engraving.
Letterpress – If you want your wedding invitations to be textured, then a letterpress can help you achieve a distinguished result. Letterpress is done using movable type and the ink is raised when it’s stamped onto the wedding invitation. It has less of the flexibility that foil stamping has, since the type is preset. It’s a costly option.
Lithography – A cheap option that produces amazing results and is a popular choice for wedding invitation printing. A design or text is impressed onto a plate or rubber cylinder and looks like printed text. You can get the ink to match your coloring hues and it’s perfect if the stationary you picked out is textured.
Thermography – Another cheap wedding invitation solution, thermography fuses materials together to produced a raised lettering on your stationary. As its name implies, it uses heat to join the powders and ink in combination and you can choose your hues. This method is also timely so make sure you have the extra weeks to wait!
