Letterpress, Weddings, and Farmer's Market

I will be returning to school, most likely in the spring, to continue taking graphic design courses. My true love with graphic design is anything stationary, especially anything done with a letterpress. Since I probably can't afford to buy a letterpress or even a vintage one anytime soon I plan on starting off with digital printing. I can't wait to make our invitations and save the dates for the wedding because it will be a fun littler project for us and a way to get a feel for it.

I adore these prints by yeehaw industries, all done by hand on a vintage letterpress.

I love this idea for a guest book..

I love Amy's blog because it always has great D.I.Y. ideas for weddings, parties, and entertaining.

These postcards she used are from zetta florence and by Cavallini & Co., who also make super cute vintage style rubber stamps!

As for invitations I want something very simple, cute, and to have a rustic almost earthy feel. I love the idea of wood or even Kraft card stock with black lettering and a hand sketched map. I want my invites and save the dates to look hand done, but with a little work done on the computer because it would just take forever to do.
