New Wedding Product Launch from The Letterpress of Cirencester

admin — Fri, 05 Feb 2010 16:39:16 +0000

Its been a long time in design but it has finally arrived. The new range of 16 designs from The Letter Press of Cirencester launched this week. Add that to the 15 existing styles and the only problem you face now is choosing which one you want for your wedding. I had the same problem with this article so rather than pick out one or two of my favourites from the new collection, I had to pick them all instead. Two details with the new portfolio caught my eye and that was the welcome addition of more traditional letterpress printed designs (they are called The Letterpress of Cirencester after all) and also the introduction of foiling on some of their designs. I would have been sceptical before seeing the designs had I realised some of them were to have foiling but I have been pleasantly surprised. The foiling has been used sparingly to great effect (especially on the Butterfly Style design) and rather than tarnish a beautiful design it has added a magnificent touch of luxury.

Please Note : The new Letter Press of Cirencester wedding stationery range is now available at Olivia Samuel with a 10% discount.

Cardlab Hen and Stag Invitations and a 30% Discount

Last Autumn I brought you news of a great 20% discount deal from Cardlab and said at the time that you would unlikely find a better deal on this range of stationery. Well I am not usually wrong but this time I am because as from yesterday they are now offering up to 30% discount off their stationery items. The 30% discount does only apply to certain items but most items are discounted by at least 10% and the all important wedding invitations are all discounted by 20%.

It is unusual for wedding suppliers to discount so heavily at this time of year because with wedding stationery especially it is peak season as many brides will be looking to get their invitations in the post for Spring and Summer weddings. The Cardlab offer is only open until 23rd Jan so you need to move quick.

Anyway on to the other subject in my title header, the hen and stag invitations from Cardlab. These are only discounted by 10% at the moment but worth their full price any time in my opinion. The designs are simple and stylish and compliment each other really well. Why does this matter ? Well, although the stag invites will always be going to the grooms male friends and the hen invites to the brides female friends it is not uncommon for the invitations to both be going to the same guest address. Unless you have been caught in the romance of a whirlwind affair then it is likely that you share at least some of the same friends especially if many have married before you !

These shocking pink Hen invitations are fun and daring and the Stag invites are more subtle in black and, in my opinion are all the more sinister. Perfect! Both actually have a choice of silver or black ink for the front hen or stag motif and the preprinted name, place, location and RSVP text inside but I think the choices pictured above work best.

Wedding Stationery from Vera Wang

This Taupe Gatefold Invitation from Vera Wang is the epitome of simple, minimalist elegance. It features a taupe shimmer gatefold card with the opening offset to the right which is beautifully tied with ribbon, inside is a square of oyster white paper with the wedding details. There is a design to suit most tastes from traditional to contemporary and I personally love this Red invitation with its gold ink for an opulent Christmas wedding.

The Vera Wang wedding stationery is available from just a few outlets in the UK including Harrods.

Green and Brown natural design from Sasson Invitations

The flower motif detail in this invitation is cleverly cut out of the cream top layer to reveal the chocolate brown card beneath. It is this layered approach that defines many of the invitations in the ‘Papercut designs” collection from Sasson Invitations. Browns and Greens are very popular at the moment and the combination of a moss green background with chocolate brown layered card and ink creates a very appealing ensemble.

What is not immediately obvious on the Sasson website is the option to have a different motif with this design. Whilst the flower motif pictured above does suit the natural and earthy colours of this style very well many couples will wish to choose a different motif to personalise the card further. I particularly like the two letter monogram motifs in the selection to the left which lets your guests know that your invitations are truly unique and have been created only for you.

Pricing for all Sasson invitations is very simple. There are only three price bands of which this design is mid range and then pricing depends on the quantity required. For 25 to 75 invitations the price is a very reasonable £3.85 each. I am curious to discover that there is also a price band for under 25 invitations with no obvious restriction on minimum order quantity. Something tells me that they are unlikely to personalise just one or two invitations for £4.20 each.
