Impress Ink: A Vendor to Vendor Review
One of my best kept secrets is that I really love the smell of paper. I’ve always been a bit of a bibliophile. It’s mostly because of the smell when you crack open the book. But it doesn’t just stop there. I was overjoyed when I found Impress Ink and got my hands on some of her high quality stationary. The moment I opened the box all those feelings for paper flooded me like a rain storm after a draught.
The Impress Ink Difference
Finding beautiful customized designs isn’t hard. Finding them without the astronomical price tag is like searching for stars in the sky at high noon. Impress Ink boasts a signature collection with over 80 designs that are fully customizable. This gives you the ability to seamlessly blend your wedding mood from start to finish. Bonus: Impress Ink never charges a fee for basic customization, allowing you to see accurate pricing before placing an order.
The feeling of opening a paper invitation suite designed by Impress Ink is hard to match. I was able to work with her invitations at a past project and can attest that the craftsmanship is stunning. After being handed a box from Impress Ink, I was left to determine what would best fit the shoot.
Favorite Invite Suite: Gold Leaf Watercolor
The invitation suite that immediately caught my attention was the Gold Leaf Watercolor. Wrapped in a beautiful burgundy folder with the belly band, this suite felt like I was opening a lavish gift. I was overjoyed to find that Impress had provided the full suite, including matching enclosure and response cards. The paper this invite was printed on felt like I’d just cracked open my favorite book. It’s smooth surface tempted my fingers to brush across it.
In addition to invitation suites, you can order matching thank you cards, table numbers, place cards and more; making your wedding feel completely put together, from the invite clear through to the reception end. Another of favorite items is a custom map for your wedding guests to find their way on your day. This piece would also make a great keepsake for out of town guests. Sentimental couples could place it in a shadowbox a favorite wedding photo, the garter, and a piece of the bouquet.
Once you’ve browsed the hundreds of options on their website, consider dropping into the storefront in Tukwila.
