Alexandra was professional, friendly, and she responded very quickly to emails. PDF samples came quickly also and she made adjustments exactly to my specifications. The invitations were truly works of art, so beautiful and unique. I would work with them again in the future and I highly recommend them as the best and most affordable letterpress artists available online.

Kim- Thank you so much for your review! I'm so glad we got to work together! Congrats!

I found The Aerialist Press through my wedding photographer and boy am I am glad I did! I was having trouble finding any design I liked until I visited their gorgeous website. I fell in love with all of the unique creations they had to offer. Since I had only looked at regular ink invites before, I thought for certain they would be outside my budget range. To my delight, I found their prices to be very reasonable for letterpress.
I corresponded with Alexandra throughout the process. She was quick to respond to emails, always polite, and had no issue with revising my invite proof 8 times. The best part is that this company is very down to earth - many wedding vendors come off so snobbish.
My invites were delivered on the exact date we agreed upon, too. That was so awesome!
I literally screamed with joy at the site of our invites. The weight of the paper, the gorgeous inks, the design that was even more beautiful in person - all of it created a piece of artwork. I can't WAIT for our guests to see them.
I love love love the Aerialist Press!

If you are looking for stunning letterpress wedding invitations with a hint of whimsy, I definitely recommend the Aerialist Press. I could not be happier with how my wedding invitations turned out. I even ordered a customized map that turned out so beautifully and will be a very special momento! I also thought this was an incredible value.

Alexandra was pleasant to work with from Day 1, when she shipped over gorgeous samples. I think there are a few processes they might try to streamline for their own sanity, but nothing that really impacted me.

The only thing I would do differently is on my end. I would get started much, much earlier -- we contacted Alexandra on 12/20 for our invitations that we asked guests to RSVP to by 2/24 -- a very tight deadline! We went through six proofs during the Xmas holiday season, and it takes 21 days after the final proof is approved until the invitations can be shipped. As a result, I went through a lot of unnecessary stress as our deadline got closer and closer. I ended up overnighting the final order and taking a day off work so I could mail out invitations the same day I received them. In retrospect, I also might have asked Alexandra to send the envelopes ahead of time so I could have addressed and stamped them ahead of time.

So please! Get started early, order these gorgeous invitations, and save yourselves piles of stress! :)

I am so happy with my invitations!! Alexandra at The Aerialist Press was so helpful. We emailed back and forth for several weeks making small changes to the invitations, response cards, and thank you notes until I felt that everything was exactly what I wanted. Alexandra was always willing to change anything! She also always kept me up to date on how changes would effect the price...that is very helpful when you are trying to stay within a budget!
I live the Bay Area, so I was able to pick up my invitations (they were even nicer than I hoped!), but everything else was done online. I would recommend The Aerialist Press to anyone, regardless of where you live!

When I received my invitations I was utterly speechless. They are beyond GORGEOUS! To be honest I didn't cry when I found "the dress" (which I absolutely love), but I was brought to tears when I held our invitations! I am so glad that I found The Aerialst Press. Not only are they affordable letterpress, but their passion truly shows in the quality of their design and product. I can not thank Alexandra & Craig enough. Thank you again to The Aerialist Press!
The Aerialist Press responded with the following comments:
Thank you, Jackie! That is the reaction we hope for ;) Congratulations and many happy wishes!

Alexandra did an amazing job with our invitations and her VERY reasonable prices allowed us to get letterpress, which I had originally written off when I first researched prices elsewhere. Given I only communicated with Alex via email, she was always extremely prompt with responses and answered all my questions. The process was fast easy and the invitations came perfectly packed

We chose the NYC skyline house design with a postcard and got so many compliments. The suite really set the tone for the wedding – everything was very high quality – . For a small additional extra charge, they printed our addresses in matching calligraphy font – saving us time and additional money.

Would definitely recommend for anyone who wants the old school elegance of letterpress but doesn’t want to spend a fortune.

If you want beautiful, elegant letter press invitations that your guests will adore and that won't break your bank them you'll be totally giddy when you meet The Aerialist Press. They are a super friendly couple that work out of their bright workspace in Emeryville, CA. They have a passion for letterpress as you can tell from their gorgeous products. My wife and I were completely ecstatic when we first received our finished invitations and couldn't wait to send them out! The whole process was easy and stress free: The Aerialist Press made changes and revisions fast and with a smile. Give them a shot and you'll be glad you did. We love them!

Tim- it was our pleasure, truly. Working with you and Anna was so much fun. Congratulations to you both! (and happy holidays!)

I highly recommend the Aerialist Press for your invitations, thank you notes, escort cards, table cards, programs, etc. Their work is elegant and unique. They are a pleasure to work with. They always returned emails and phone calls promptly and went out of their way to meet my expectations. If you live in the Bay Area, you will not want to miss an opportunity to visit their studio in Emeryville - it was helpful to be there in person to see all that they have to offer!

If you have your heart set on letterpress wedding stationary, but find yourself overwhelmed by high prices, I highly recommend that you look into using The Aerialist Press! Since they are a relatively new outfit, their rates for letterpress are significantly lower than those you can find at larger or more well-established stationers. We used them for our wedding invitation suite, and were delighted with the results. Alexandra worked with us through several rounds of wording changes and revisions, always responding quickly with the latest draft. After we placed our order, we had the entire suite within just a few weeks. Everything was packaged safely, there were no mistakes, and each part of the invitation suite was printed with care. For those who are interested in letterpress but discouraged by some of the high price tags out there, don’t give up! Look into whether The Aerialist Press has a design that will work for you.

A bit slow on having the cards ready but they looked great. I also enjoyed visiting the press when I went to pick up the invitations. They're a young couple-owned business and I like supporting them. They were also not sale-sy like a lot of vendors vying for my business. They were also not overly dramatic or fake with wedding planning, which I appreciated.

Alex and her hubby were completely AMAZING!!!! My invitations were beautiful! I had a vision for how I wanted everything to look, and they made it work. I received soo many compliments on the invitations -- the color was bright, the paper was beautiful, and the quality of work was amazing! My order shipped quickly and Alex made sure I was completely satisfied with the entire order before processing. Every little change I requested, she made within the next day. I would definitely recommend this amazing duo to anyone who is looking for beautiful, timeless, and classic stationery for their wedding!

Aerialist Press was amazing to work with - not only do they offer affordable letter press, but there are a local Bay Area busband-wife team that started the business after doing invites for their own wedding. really easy to work with, would definitely use them again for another event!
