Send an Invitation People Feel Before They Read It
Guests hold a letterpress invitation a beat longer, because the detail is pressed right into the 16pt laminated card: a raised emboss, a foil-stamped monogram, a spot UV shine that catches the light. A set of 100 starts at $220.20, rated 4.7 out of 5 across 14 reviews. Whether you are sending a wedding suite, a gala invite, or a milestone announcement, these cards make the envelope feel like the start of the event.
These invitations punch above a flat printed card. Full color prints on 16pt Silk, Gloss or Velvet laminated stock, and the pressed finishes do the work a plain card cannot.

What Are Letterpress Invitations?
Letterpress invitations are premium, full-color invitation cards printed on 16pt laminated stock in 5 sizes from 4" x 6" up to 11" x 17". People reach for them when a flat card would feel too plain: weddings, galas, milestone birthdays, corporate events and formal announcements. The pressed finishing, foil, embossing and spot UV, is what makes a guest run a thumb across the card instead of setting it down. If you want a lighter, everyday option, the Invitation Cards cover that, and these sit beside them as the premium pick.
What Size Should a Letterpress Invitation Be?
The right size comes down to how formal the moment is and how much you need to say. A 4" x 6" card is the classic, mailable invitation. A 5" x 7" is the wedding-suite standard, with room for a monogram and a few lines. The 6" x 9" and 8.5" x 11" read like a program or a menu, and the 11" x 17" is the statement size for a folded invitation or an all-in-one suite. All 5 sizes are grouped below exactly the way the live configurator presents them, so you know what you can change before you change it. For a card that folds to hold more, the Folded Invitations are the next step up.
What Paper Stocks and Finishes Can You Choose?
A premium invitation starts with the card in the hand. All 3 stocks here are a substantial 16pt with lamination already included, so every card has a smooth, protected surface. Silk lamination gives a soft, low-glare finish that feels expensive. Gloss lamination makes color and photos snap. Velvet lamination reads soft-touch and suede-like, the one people cannot stop handling. You also set your ink coverage: 4/0 prints full color on the front with a blank back, and 4/4 prints full color on both sides.
What Pressed Finishing Can You Add?
This is where a letterpress invitation earns its name. Foil stamping presses metallic gold, silver or color into the card for a name or monogram. Embossing raises the paper so the type stands off the surface and catches the light. Spot UV lays a glossy, clear shine over a matte card for contrast you can feel. Edge painting bands the card's thickness in color, die cutting shapes it into a basic or complex outline, and rounded corners soften the edges at a 1/8" or 1/4" radius. Add scoring for a clean fold or perfing for a tear-off RSVP. Every one of these is a live option you can combine on a single card.
How Much Do Letterpress Invitations Cost?
Letterpress invitations start at $220.20 per 100, about $2.20 a card, and the per-card price keeps dropping as the quantity climbs to 5,000, where it lands near $0.15. There are 9 quantity tiers in all, so a wedding, a gala or a launch costs far less per invitation than a small test batch. So how many do you actually need?
