Letterpress Wedding Invite - proof

this is a screen capture from the video i'm putting together that details my wife and i making our wedding invitations (by hand!). the one she's holding in the picture is one of the proofs (with a nice blind punch at the bottom)

we designed them, made our own polymer plates, set the type, mixed our own ink, and made our own paper, all by hand and for each card.

it was many weeks worth of hard work, trial and error, but it was completely worth it!
