THE VINTAGE INVITE - BEAUTIFULLY PRINTED, VINTAGE INSPIRED STATIONERY

We're very happy to welcome The Vintage Invite to the fair for the first time.  Matching fabulous original artwork with the finest letterpress printing, they make extraordinary wedding stationery. 

Save the date cards, invitations, RSVP's and even table plans, can all be created in fully co-ordinated suites to give your wedding a stylish look that's totally unique to you!


Take a look through their store to find a design that suits your style, choose your colour scheme and then make an order.   


Alternatively, you can 'go bespoke'.  After a meeting (or even a Skype call!) to really understand your ideas, the guys from The Vintage Invite will put together a moodboard of images, illustrations, typefaces and colours to inspire you and start to bring your concept to life.


Once you've agreed the final design, proofs will be created and you can follow the steps for the off-the-peg stationary with your own unique design!


For more inspiration and to find more about what they do, take a look at their blog and come and have a chat at the fair!

RETROPRESS - VINTAGE DESIGN IS THE WORD!

There's something so exciting about receiving news of a wedding in the post, and the style and look of the invitation are the first moment your guests will see what kind of day it's going to be, so it's important to make a great impression.  Retro Press can guarantee you'll do just that!


A creative letterpress studio who mainly design and print bespoke wedding stationery with a refreshing, quirky, vintage style that's just a bit different from the norm, Retro Press like to keep it fun, fresh and funky and whatever you choose will be unique to you.


Kate Clift, the owner of Retro Press is passionate about her work and says " We do everything here at Retro Press, from the Save the Dates and invitations to bunting and posters ... and everything in between."


"Everything we do is personalised, so even the 'templates' you will find on our website can be changed to suit a particular couple with regards to wording and colours."


"The 'travel tag' style is definitely our most popular invitation but we can do anything - any shape, size, colour, traditional or more contemporary - but also vintage.  Always retro!  The Save the Date coasters are also highly desired as these are unique and such a great way of having something memorable for the guests to keep."



Kate has impressive credentials - with a degree in Graphic Design, she undertook a 3-month internship at the famous Hatch Show Print in Nashville where she fell in love with the letterpress process and brought this passion home.


Invented back in the 15th Century, letterpress is a handmade process, giving each piece a rich, unique quality with no two prints being identical.  


As Kate says "... here at Retro, we love, live, eat, breathe every single little thing letterpress so we can't see how you won't be captured by it's charm too!"


I must admit I'm hooked and you will be too once you've had a chat with Kate at the fair.
