Oversized letterpress wedding invitations for Kiera and Patrick’s fall wedding in NYC. We pressed tined white and black inks on thick 600g Lettra paper. Blind letterpress is an option here too, but the tint really helps the detail pop on the paper.
Perhaps you saw our 2013 blog post detailing the underused letterpress technique of halftone screens. In short, we can use tiny dots and on-paper ink mixing to create the illusion of gradations and multiple ink colors.
For Robyn and Luke's Timberline Lodge wedding, we used just two inks (a very light gray and a dark blueish-gray) to create a photo-realistic image of Oregon's Mount Hood.
To accompany the invitation, we printed an info card with a tear-off reply postcard (this one with a halftone bird because, hey, put a bird on it), a small rehearsal dinner invite, and a custom woodgrain-lined envelope.
