A true deckle edge vs. a torn edge?
The delicate look of a deckle edge is so easy to love. But did you know it’s not just a torn edge on the paper? A true deckle edge is formed in the paper-making process, when the paper pulp squeezes out between between the screen holding the wet pulp and the deckle (the frame that defines the sheet size). Creating the perfect deckle is an art unmatched by a simple edge tear.
What do I need to know about hand cancelling my postage?
There’s a great post here that I think will be helpful.
What’s different about semi custom and custom invitations?
Semi custom designs can be seen on the semi-custom page and produced using the elements listed on the customization page. It’s a faster and more simplified option. They’re pre-designed and more budget friendly. Semi-custom includes a single proof for your feedback. If you’d like other paper or ink options with the semi custom designs, just ask! We’re happy to discuss any ideas you may have.
In contrast, the custom design process begins with a conversation about your wedding dreams, from which we create a package uniquely for you. The sky’s the limit, using any paper option or printing techniques available—custom crests or wax seals, hand illustrated venues or wreaths, custom watercolors. Three rounds of emailed proofs are included with the custom process. Just fill out the custom design inquiry form to get started.
Can we handle a tight deadline?
We are currently booking a year in advance. We do have cancellations at times so we welcome your inquiry at any time. We only take a very limited number each year for a custom design process.
Where are we?
We’re in Yorba Linda, in north Orange County, California. We can do local in-person consultations by appointment only, as well as long distance over Zoom, Face Time, email or the old-fashioned telephone. Most of our contact is via email, so distance never ends up being an issue.
How much does a wedding invitation suite cost?
While suites can start at about $600, our average couple invests on average $2,800 for semi-custom wedding invitation suites including invitation, envelope, RSVP and detail card. There are many variables and it’s best to fill out the semi-custom or custom inquiry form and let us provide you with a quote.
How many suites do I need?
You’ll want to plan for one per household on your guest list. You should also send an additional suite to each adult child living in the same household with a +one option for them, if you choose. Plan to print 10-15% over your guest list for those “just in case” moments. Don’t forget to add one or two for your keepsakes and if you’d like your photographer to include them in your detail photos you’ll need one or two for them to work with as well.
I’ve designed my invitations, can you just print them?
Do to time constraints we no longer print outside work.
Does The Bridal Press™ print acrylic invitations?
Acrylic invitations are a popular item, however we choose not to provide them. Aside from my personal preference, we can’t in good conscience contribute to the mountains of non-biodegrade waste. Acrylic resin is a group 7 plastic and not readily collected for recycling. We strive to be good stewards for the planet so acrylic is not on my list of provided mediums.
