Hello, A little slow off the mark (what do you expect from an ancient old geezer) but just noticed Jen kindly recommended Cranky Pressman for letterpress printing. She is correct, we are very good and well priced but unfortunately got the url incorrect. The correct address is http://www.crankypressman.com

[Geniva]

Love your stuff! I would look at the Printery in Oyster Bay for business cards. Their website is iprintery.com

[Matthew]

Call Anne at Soho Letterpress, old school letterpress, does the invites for Bergdorf. Charm her, promote her and get a deal.
Good luck, love the blog.

I logged on to suggest Simplesong, but I see that many others suggested the same! Adore your blog.

[Lulu]

Another vote here for Hammerpress. The most beautiful and creative letterpress work I've ever seen. He is a master!

[Luzel @iDiY]

Hear hear on Mercurio Brothers! I used them for our wedding invites. Best quality and great price.

I love the wreath. With all your wonderful ideas and flee market finds can you offer an ideas for special gifts for family. This year we are wanting to stay away from the trends that are gone in a month. I can come up with plenty for myself from your site but I need ideas for 2 kids living in Brooklyn and in the entertainment world. I have one in LA and another in North Carolina both also in the entertainment ind. Please share ideas.

I'm a new fan. I just found your blog a few days ago. Your peppermint table setting inspired the table that I did for my friends party tomorrow night. Thought you might enjoy seeing how your magic inspires others. Thanks for the idea.

The Printery in Oyster Bay. Old World, personal, fair pricing. Everyone on the North Shore goes there. Cheers.

[Lucy Murchison]

[Laura]

[Niki D]

Eddie & Jaithan,
A BIG congrats on the new venture. Check out Hammerpress @ www.hammerpress.net. (click under design work). I love to look at the site just for inspiration. Their work is fun, colorful & truly inventive. By the way, I just obtained my 1st business license yesterday...I feel I am in good company! Here's to your success!! Niki D

Hello Gentlemen,

I agree with everyone on Etsy you should go on and search around and see if anything speaks to you.

One of my favorites is Paper Mill Designs. They are simple and classic plus the cost won't break the bank.

I love business cards. I'm also starting my own decorating/event styling business and picking out cards was one of my favorite things to do.

I'm constantly reminded of the business card scene from American Psycho.

They truly are important! Good luck!

Did my wedding invites. A dream to work with and very reasonable prices.

[David in KC]

Kansas City has two possibilities for you:

http://www.hammerpress.net/menu/menu.html

and

http://www.craftboyworkshop.com/index.htm

Hammerpress is full service, I'm sure they can do your cards. I went to KU with Chuck at Craftboy and I'm not sure if he does or not, but it would be worth asking.

Good luck!

[hanako66]

Congratulations! Unfortunately, I do not know of anyone specific, but for a special and homeade touch, you may want to search letterpress on etsy.com....I had some really lovely custom silhouette Christmas cards made this year from a vendor that I found on etsy. I realize that this may not be the most economical way to go, as I am certain that you will need them in bulk, but I just wanted to let you know :) I found this seller as a starting point for you http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=10528181
Have a great day Eddie! Aline

[Alyssa Lee]

Eddie, Press NY here in the city is good- about $200 per color and add an additional $100 or so for Crane paper. If you want to go cheaper, Spark Stationery in South Dakota is great. I use them all the time for my wedding stationery business!

[Jen]

I recently used the Cranky Pressman www.thecrankypressman.com for my wedding invitations. I designed them in illustrator, then sent them over to him, and I had the finished product in 3-4 weeks. The pricing was pretty reasonable compared to others I found online ($500 total for 150 invites, RSVP cards, and envelopes) and Keith was incredibly friendly and knowledgeable. Good luck!

[Bryn]

Hi Eddie! When I was looking for wedding invitations, I almost used these guys - they are SO nice and do great work. I ordered samples and sure enough, amazing. And even better - their prices are great! I had many many friends recommend them to me. I ended up doing thermography instead of letterpress due to costs, but if I ever need letterpress I will go to them in a heartbeat.

Good luck! I can't wait to see what you have in store :)

[Sara Jonas]

Hey Eddie and Jaithan!

My mother and I are joining you both for the Scott's trip in January!! In regards to the letterpress...check out Alexa Pulitzer. She is based out of New Orleans and did all of the work for our linen shop. Her work is simply beautiful! Her site is www.alexapulitzer.com.

Hope all is well. I can't wait to meet you all. Merry Christmas!

Sara

[Patricia]

Congrats Eddie and Jaithin!! I know there are some great letter press people out there, I see them on other design blogs...will send your way if I find, have you tried Etsy? I feel that some of them sell there...Also, in a blog before Thanksgiving, you mentioned how you doctored up canned cranberry sauce, did you ever give us the recipe?? I am not great on the computer, but I tried searching your blog, and it took me to the original blog where you mentioned it. If you get a minute I would love the recipe! Have a Happy Christmas, thanks for the tips, your tree is amazing!!

Peace and LOve--Ally

[Kate@ Kids and Cocktails]

I would suggest contacting Suann from www.simplesongdesign.com or her blog simplesong.typepad.com. She's a dream to work with and very talented. She just did some calling cards for my mother for a Christmas present. Love them!

[kate]

I love my letter press designer! www.simplesongdesign.com

[Mrs. Lily]

Wildflower Letterpress is fantastic. I used them for my wedding invitations (see Mrs. Lily's blog on Weddingbee--that's me!). Sam was so nice and his prices are fair. :-) Good luck!

[Larry G.]

Eddie,
You should contact The Printery in Oyster Bay, NY., 516 922 3250, or www.iprintery.com. On the site in the gallery section go to environments and look at the shop. Ask for Bill Miller and tell him that his friend at Polo recommended you. You should also visit them for the blog, trust me, you will love it! It's straight from a Dickens novel.

[kelly robson]

Oh my gosh, Eddie, you HAVE to look on Etsy. The gals over there are making some fabulous letterpress cards, business cards, and the like... I run an Etsy vintage shop and I'm a big fan of all things "etsy". I only wish I had ordered my wedding invitations from those letterpress girls... if you serach "letterpress business cards" I am sure that you will find someone who will work with you! Good luck and congratulions!

[Amy]

Eddie!! Call me! I know the perfect place for you to go for business cards!
xoxo Amy
