COMMON QUESTIONS

How long have you been specializing in weddings?

For over 70 years! It's an honor continuing this Portland wedding tradition. Many times the parents of our couples had their wedding invitations made in our shop. If you have stories, we'd love to hear them.

Anders Printing Company is a small, locally-owned print shop with a long-standing history in Portland, Oregon. The shop has been in business since 1946 in the same location it resides today. The Anders building was once a grocery store and still retains the vintage charm and friendly neighborhood atmosphere of a bygone era. This makes Anders a gem among local print shops and a favorite within the community.

Do you design AND print?

Yes - with a team of several talented graphic designers, Anders is adept at handling a full spectrum of wedding and business stationery projects from concept to production.

What if I have my own artwork?

We print customer supplied files and can set up finished pieces with provided artwork.

How much do 100 invitations cost?

Our goal is to make sure that every couple is able create an invitation that is not only a preview for their big day but is also within their budget. Because of this, we custom quote all jobs to maintain flexibility and accuracy.

How long does the process take for invitations?

Invitations typically have the longest timeline. If we design, it's about 3 - 4 weeks. This includes a 1 week waiting period to receive your first proof during our busy season and a 3 - 5 day production time for standard digital printing.

How do I place an order?

You are welcome to stop by anytime to look at samples but if you'd like to talk one-on-one, appointments are required. If you are not a local, phone or email works great for us. Simply call or email the shop to reserve your time slot - we look forward to chatting!

Can I come by to look at samples?

We have lots of samples available in our shop that you are welcome to browse. Appointments are encouraged so that our samples are reserved for you and a designer can be available to guide you through all your options. Simply call or email the shop to reserve your time slot.??

Great custom design!

I am very pleased with my wedding invitation suite done by Anders Printing! Their graphic design artists are talented and easy to work with. We had a custom illustration of our wedding venue made for invitations and they turned out exactly how we wanted them, and at a great cost too! It was refreshing to be able to go into their brick-and-mortar store to see and feel the printed materials. They are a Portland institution in stationery and design; my parents used them 32 years ago for their wedding invitations, and we were thrilled to get to work with them as well!

Ander's Printing did such a wonderful job on our wedding invitation suite. I did a watercolor and my friend designed the actual suite. She then sent it over to Ander's and we went in to pick our papers and envelopes. The staff was super friendly and helpful. The printing was done in just a few business days and the quality was top notch. They also have some beautifully designed invitation suites that you can thumb through in their office. We definitely recommend them!

We used Anders for our Save the Dates, wedding invitations, and day-of-items (programs, table numbers, menus, and thank you gift tag). Meghan was wonderful to work with and provided great guidance with both design suggestions and invitation etiquette. She was knowledgeable, had a great design eye, communicated well, and was easy to work with from the beginning. Anders has plenty of invitation designs to start from and several with nice Portland touches (bridges, city skyline drawing. etc.) and we were able to get exactly the look we were going for. We also utilized the option to have the addresses printed on the envelopes and were so happy we went with that time-saving choice.

I've worked with Anders printing for years designing other birde's invites... so it was no surprise that I would use them for my own wedding. They are so knowledgeable about their craft and I felt incredibly taken care of. Their designer Meghan is a rock star and was able to help me with each piece of the printing process. They are a great small business who not only produces great work but really cares about each of their customers.

A friend used Anders for her wedding invitations the year prior to our wedding. I was so impressed with their designs and their "Seal & Send" style and I love supporting local businesses. Meghan was our contact person and she was great. Her response time was fast and she was very helpful, especially with the wording. We had a typo on the invitation (missed by Bride, Groom, and both sets of parents) and Meghan helped print correction postcards fast and at a discount! Highly recommend their skills and their product, we loved our invitations, even with the typo! Thanks Meghan!

Ander's Printing made our invitation and signage for our wedding. They were so helpful and never made me feel stupid asking so many questions. We did most of our conversations through email which made my life extremely helpful and less stressful. We worked with Meghan and she designed the most amazing invitations and matching signs for our big day. I cannot thank her enough for making such amazing wedding suite. We will be using them for any of our other needs.

Anders Printing did an amazing job on my short timeline! They were flexible with my needs and pricing, printed our own design, and were incredibly fast on getting them back to me! They were extremely pleasant and helpful to work with. I was so happy with the invitations that I went back to them for the Thank You notes. I picked one of their in-house designs--they have several unique ones that I enjoyed. Once again they were pleasant, professional, and full of good advice that I wouldn't have thought of myself. I worked with Meghan, but everybody in the shop was helpful and flexible. I really enjoyed working with them!

Anders helped us to create the most gorgeous, ethereal, whimsical invitations that you could imagine! Meghan truly took the time to sit down with us and listen to our needs before helping us design the perfect invitations for our big day. The money you will spend at Anders is well worth it - my mother and father used Anders over 31 years ago to create THEIR wedding invitations, and I think it is a true testament that all these years later, my husband and I used the same company with the same great results.

Meghan was a DREAM to work with - calm, collected and super helpful in combing our ideas into a beautiful save the date and invitation suite! From adjusting our design ever so slightly over and over to accommodate our requests, to helping us remember to weigh our invites before stamping them to make sure we were using the correct postage - she was exactly what we needed as middle ground/creative genius to help us actualize our dream invites! We received feedback on how classy and fabulous our invites were sooner than we even received the requested RSVP's.

I will return to Anders Printing for all of my future print needs!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
