Printed wedding invitations make an impression before the wedding day itself. A physical card — held, displayed, kept — sets the tone for everything that follows in a way a screen notification simply doesn't. Bliss & Bone's custom wedding invitation printing lets you design every detail online and receive finished cards crafted to the standard the occasion deserves.
Every order ships with matching envelope options and coordinates with your save the dates and wedding website across the same design collection, so the visual identity of your wedding weekend stays consistent from the first communication to the last.
The printing method you choose shapes how the finished card looks and feels. Three techniques cover nearly every aesthetic.
Flat printing is the most versatile option. Ink sits on the surface of the paper, which allows for the full range of colors in a single pass and keeps costs accessible without sacrificing design quality. It's the right call for colorful, detailed designs where visual complexity is the point.
Foil stamping applies metallic or colored foil to the card through a heat transfer process. Gold foil catches light in a way flat ink can't replicate. Silver, rose gold, and colored foil options are available. Foil works best as an accent layer on top of printed text or illustration, not as the sole printing method.
Letterpress presses a custom plate into the paper surface, creating the characteristic tactile impression associated with high end wedding invitations. It's a slower, more labor-intensive process, which is reflected in the production timeline and cost. For couples who want the invitation to feel as considered as the event itself, letterpress wedding invitations are the standard.
Paper weight, texture, and finish determine how a printed invitation reads in the hand. Bliss & Bone offers cotton paper, standard cardstock, and duplex options that layer two sheets for added substance. Cotton paper has a soft, matte finish that takes letterpress and flat printing equally well and holds up to handling without feeling flimsy.
Finishing touches include edge painting, envelope liners, and blind embossing. These are the details that make an invitation suite feel complete rather than assembled from parts. Order paper samples before committing to a paper weight or finish — seeing the options in person takes the guesswork out of the decision.
Bliss & Bone's printed invitation collection spans every aesthetic from stripped-back modern to richly illustrated. A few directions worth knowing before you browse.
Minimalist and classic. Clean typography, generous white space, no ornamentation. These designs work across every venue type and hold up over time. See classic wedding invitations and simple wedding invitations.
Formal and luxury. Traditional layouts with serif typography, restrained detail, and the kind of finish that suits a black-tie event: foil stamping, letterpress, and cotton paper. Formal wedding invitations and luxury wedding invitations carry both.
Floral and botanical. Illustrated foliage, hand-drawn motifs, and layered detail. The right choice for garden parties, outdoor celebrations, and couples who want the invitation to feel like part of the setting. Browse floral wedding invitations and botanical wedding invitations.
Rustic and boho. Earthy palettes, natural textures, and relaxed layouts. Rustic wedding invitations and boho wedding invitations suit barn venues, vineyard settings, and outdoor ceremonies.
Destination. Illustrated landscapes, warm tones, and layouts that give guests a sense of the setting before they arrive. Destination wedding invitations coordinate with matching travel detail inserts.

Printed and digital invitations serve different guests and different priorities. Printed invitations make a stronger tactile impression and remain the default for formal and traditional events. Digital invitations are faster, less expensive, and built for guests who check email reliably.
Most couples send both: printed invitations to guests for whom paper feels appropriate, digital to the rest. Bliss & Bone coordinates both formats across the same design collections, so the suite looks intentional regardless of which combination you choose.
Printed wedding invitations require more lead time than digital. Standard production runs two to three weeks after your order is finalized. Add time for envelope addressing and postage, and the window from order placement to delivery is typically three to four weeks.
Send printed invitations six to eight weeks before the wedding date for local weddings. For destination weddings or holiday weekends, eight to twelve weeks gives guests adequate time to arrange travel. For a complete timeline covering both invitations and save the dates, see the guide on when to send wedding invitations.
For broader guidance on wording, addressing, and etiquette conventions, the wedding invitation etiquette guide covers every detail.
Pricing depends on the printing technique, paper selection, quantity, and any finishing options you add. Letterpress and foil stamping cost more than flat printing due to the setup and production time involved. Cotton paper adds cost over standard cardstock. Order from Bliss & Bone and you'll see a line-item price before purchasing — no surprises after checkout.
Flat printing applies ink to the paper surface and suits detailed, colorful designs at a lower price point. Letterpress presses a custom plate into the paper to create a tactile impression. The result is a more textural, elevated card, but production takes longer and costs more. Both techniques are available across Bliss & Bone's full design collection.
Yes. Wedding paper samples are available to order before you commit to a paper weight or finish. Seeing and handling the options in person is the most reliable way to make the right call on paper and printing technique.
Yes. Every Bliss & Bone design is part of a coordinated collection that spans printed invitations, save the dates online, and your wedding website. Both formats use the same visual identity so the suite looks consistent across print and digital.
Most couples include a printed reply card in the envelope. If you're using a wedding website to manage RSVPs, include the URL on the reply card as an alternative response method. Guests can submit their response, dietary notes, and plus-one details through the site directly.
