Hello Lucky Wedding Invitations

I have mentioned my passion for Letterpress time and time again on this site and have been keeping a close eye on San Francisco based design outfit Hello Lucky since my article on the Letterpress movement in the States back in May.

Well, Hello Lucky caught my eye again in the lastest copy of Cosmo Bride (aug/sep) with a beautiful range of calla lily letterpress wedding invitations.  I have grabbed these images from their blog post about the Cosmo Bride commission.  This was a bespoke design which commands a fairly big price tag at £722 for 100.  If this is out of your budget do not be disheartened and take a moment to view their standard letterpress designs, many of which are a lot cheaper.   Also, the site is shared with their US operation so with pricing in dollars and the current exchange rates as they are right now it favours UK shoppers.  As a rough guide pricing tends to increase with the number of colours used in the design because unlike a modern printing machine individual colours need to be done separately when letterpressed. 

Ah,  my Letterpress dream has reignited again.  I am now off to persuade the wife to let me convert the shed into a vintage print shop.  Maybe I should just do it in away ….  I mean she never goes in there.  I wonder if there are any bargain Heidlebergs machines on Ebay… I’ll be lucky !
