invitation factory


Ah, being friends with other font-o-philes has made me truly appreciate the value of... letterpress. But letterpress is notorious for being uber-expensive. But I found these folks up near Berkeley who were so easy to work with and my friend Joyce, a brilliant letterpress invite designer, helped me with the design... and made my letterpress invite dreams come true.

But to save money -- I went with a one-color design rather than two... which meant my bridesmaid-buddy JP and my style guru LL helped me fill in the other color with watercolors (thanks guys!). Whenever we messed up, we'd say, "Handmade is in!" Needless to say, I watched a lot of movies while doing these...


Now they're finished and ready to be sent out into the world!!

The website is also done too! Yay!!!
