<p>In 2009 they were proud to have been commended by “Print Week” as Social Stationery Printer of the Year”. They were also winner of the VOWS Award (Voted Outstanding Wedding Stationery Supplier)</p>
<p>The look and luxurious tactile feel of an embossed or letterpress image into a thick high quality card, speaks for itself. These cards, mainly hand fed and printed in small runs are far different from the mass production of so many cards.  The finish and boards used really do have to be seen to appreciate their superb quality.  Whether <a href="http://www.weddinginvitationshop.co.uk/letterpress-wedding-invitations.html">letterpress</a>, thermography, engraving, diestamping, blind embossing, plate sinking or foil blocking,  you can be sure of exceptional quality wedding  invitations and stationery.  If you are confused about all of these printing techniques, and which to choose, we will be publishing a handy guide tomorrow with the help of Tim Honnor from Piccolo Press.</p>
<p>Piccolo Press offer an entirely bespoke service, so if you have an idea for a design, they will work with you to see your ideas transformed into beautiful wedding stationery.  Contact <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.piccolopress.co.uk" target="_blank">Piccolo Press</a> directly to find out more about how thay can help you to design your perfect wedding stationery.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There is nothing quite like receiving a <a href="http://www.weddinginvitationshop.co.uk/letterpress-wedding-invitations.html">letterpress wedding invitation</a> with its wonderful, tactile finish. I&#8217;ve always wondered why <a href="http://www.weddinginvitationshop.co.uk/infopage_letterpress.html">Letterpress wedding stationery</a> has not been as popular here in the UK compared to the US, where the old printing technique is certainly one of the most popular wedding invitation styles. Recently though I&#8217;ve noticed quite a marked increase in the number of companies offering this beautiful, high quality printing.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.weddinginvitationshop.co.uk/infopage_letterpress.html">The Letter Press of Cirencester</a> is certainly not new to the market, they have been printing superb quality letterpress wedding stationery since 1986 and the quality of their products really does need to be seen to be believed.  They have recently launched some wonderful new designs for 2010 to add to their, already fabulous, collection.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.weddinginvitationshop.co.uk/images/blog/letterpress/letterpress-wedding-invitation1.jpg" alt="Letterpress wedding invitation  - Ottoman" /></p>
<p>The <a href="http://www.weddinginvitationshop.co.uk">Wedding Invitation Shop</a> is very proud to work along side the Letter Press and we are able to offer bridal couples a 10% discount on the entire range of beautiful stationery. They offer a full service, covering engagement announcements,wedding and evening invitations, reply cards, orders of service, menus, place cards and thank you cards. </p>
<p>Their service is individual. The designs are based on simple classical styles, which you can either adopt as they are, or use as a starting point for your own designs. They are able to add or adapt any of the features shown on the website: plate sinking, using decorative motifs, borders or ribbons, different ink or typefaces. These can all be mixed and matched to create a special look, unique to your wedding.</p>
<p>Please visit their <a href="http://www.letterpress.co.uk" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">website</a> to view their full range of wedding invitations. You can order a free sample either directly from them or from us.  Once you have decided upon your order just <a href="mailto:info@weddinginvitationshop.co.uk?subject=Letterpress Enquiry" target="_blank">contact us by email</a> to place your order and receive your 10% discount.  Take a look at some of their wonderful new designs below:</p>
