Page is also experienced in making the most out of your budget, while providing you with a product that exudes elegance. Page offers you the opportunity to create a completely custom invitation that will have your guests talking. Because their letterpress orders are still printed the old-fashioned way (by hand), every piece is a work of art. With Page, you're not just picking an example out of a book that hundreds have used before you, and that's why it's so special. When you order letterpress, you have the freedom to change fonts, colors, and papers - so your invitation can be truly unique to your wedding.

Letterpress printing has it's roots in 8th century China, as well as 15th century Europe, but has emerged today as the preeminent style of printing for modern wedding invitations, baby announcements, and stationery in general. What began as a way to mass-produce images, and subsequently books and other materials, has now become a highly-sought after craft when creating custom paper goods. And, while letterpress printing may be thought of as on the pricey side, there are ways to make it affordable for your budget. With the largest selection of paper in the industry, from handmade European to commercial recycled, you can tailor your letterpress invitation order and its cost from the ground up. Page also makes it easy on you by pricing everything a la carte which can help reduce cost considerably. They recommend leaving out reception cards, accommodation information and directions, so you can spend your money where it counts - on the actual invitation. You may be wondering then, how to get important travel and registry information to your guests, without including it with the invitation. Recently, more and more couples have decided to provide this information through a wedding website. These sites are easy, and, more importantly- FREE. Some couples choose to list their wedding website on another fairly recent trend in wedding stationery - the save the date. Save the dates have become an important part of wedding planning - not only does it alert guests to mark their calendars for your upcoming event, but can include other pertinent information like a wedding website.

Page is also a leader in green printing methods, choosing to use low-VOC and soy-based inks over the traditionally toxic inks still used in the letterpress community. Page is acutely aware of it's impact on the environment and minimizes that impact wherever possible. Page is thrilled to offer 100% tree-free paper for their like-minded clients, and prints every order with solar power. Page offers up to 3 free rounds of proofs, giving you the freedom to make mistakes and change your mind.
