Chocolate 8XP150 and Vanilla 8XP470

 We are pleased to announce that the Chocolate Brown design now has a new colourway.  Like a dollop of refreshing finest vanilla pod infused Italian Ice cream the Vanilla design above is a worthy partner to the finest Chocolate  Fudge cake in the restaurant.  The vanilla cream design is more subtle than the deep chocolate brown colour of the original and will serve most colour schemes very well.  The same gold foil personalisation is retained and looks beautiful against the cream card. 

Gold Foil Personalised Insert

When you order this invitation in either the Chocolate or Vanilla designs you will receive a pdf proof of your personalised wording in your chosen typeface (we think Typeface 419 pictured above works best for this design) .  You can make as many changes to the proof as you like and on each change a new proof will be sent.  When you approve the proof a special polymer impression plate is made which is used to press the gold foil on to the card insert.  This is gold foiling at its best and beats many of the toner foiling wedding designs that we are starting to see enter the wedding stationery market with the advent of cheaper technology.  To see for yourself visit our site for a free sample.

I have been trying to lose a bit of weight the last couple of weeks and have set myself a target to lay off the chocolate until Christmas.  This design does nothing to ease my cravings as it looks like a delicious slab of Galaxy or Dairy Milk chocolate, with a glint of the gold foil wrap inside.

When I first saw this design, Simplicity from Porosol Print, I thought it looked a lot like the Chocolate Brown wedding invitation from CCA Occasions.  Both shared the long landscape shaped cut, the rich brown card and the block gold lettering on the cover.  I guess it is easy to forgive either company from copying as it is such a simple design that it is equally conceivable that both designers came up with similar creations.  The differences, as far as I can tell, is that Porosol Print have added an organza bow to their design in place of the thick spine of the CCA card.  Both companies also enable you to have the gold foil print on the insert inside your card as well, but I am not sure that this is not taking the foiling a little too far and I personally think that perhaps a chocolate brown ink might look better.

Unfortunately, you will not find any detailed pricing on the Porosal print site because it depends on what options you have but it does state that prices for their cards start at £2.00 each.  CCA Occasions pricing, as with most wedding stationers, is dependent on quantity but if you find that most suppliers discount the CCA range and you should be able to pick up the Chocolate Brown design for around £2.70 each for 50 cards.
