If you want wedding invitations that your guests will rave, about choose Flying Rabbit Press LLC. There is something so special about the look and feel of letterpress. It will add a beautiful personal touch to your wedding that is worthy of being framed and displayed on your wall. Not only is Kate skilled as a letterpress printer but she is a talented designer and artist as well. The hummingbirds she drew for our invitations were perfect. Thank you Kate!

I would say that Kate at Flying Rabbit is amazing, and responsive, even through a couple of scheduling mishaps.

As a professional graphic designer, it takes a lot for a printer to impress me. Kate did just that. After scouring the internet for letterpress printer after letterpress printer, I requested a quote from Kate to print our invitations from my custom design. Not only did she come back with an incredibly reasonable quote, she was able to capture the halftone pattern that many letterpress printers told me simply couldn't be done.

Kate is based out of Madison and she happily travelled to Milwaukee to show my wife and I samples of her work. Additionally, once the printing was complete she hand delivered the invitations. Very impressive!

I had a great experience working with Kate from Flying Rabbit Press on our wedding invitations. My husband and I live in the Madison, WI area and really wanted to work with a local press on the invitations. Kate was consistently very responsive and flexible. We first met at a coffee shop in town to talk through the basics, and Kate brought examples of invitations she's done for other couples, color samples, paper samples--all kinds of helpful things. Kate was also very open about pricing and helped us stick to our budget while also putting together a really lovely end result.

A friend of mine designed our wedding ceremony and reception invitations, and Kate did such a great job of working with my friend on getting electronic files of the design and sending them out to make custom plates. We decided to go with just two colors on nice (but relatively inexpensive) paper and a contrasting colored envelope. I was SO pleased with how the invitations turned out--they were gorgeous. They look so crisp, the colors were true, and the quality of the letterpress was awesome. We really couldn't have been more pleased with how they turned out. And working with Kate was so pleasant and easy, whether we met up in person or corresponded via email. I would absolutely recommend Flying Rabbit Press to anyone!

With the help of Kate's large portfolio and her gentle guidance, my now husband and I were able to design our perfect wedding invitations. Kate is delightful and the quality of her work is excellent.

Kate was professional and wonderful to work with. One of my friends designed our invitations, and Kate worked with us to ensure that the design and her letterpress worked well together. We received so many compliments on how beautifully textured our invitations were. I've already recommended her to friends getting married!

My husband and I loved working with Kate and Flying Rabbit Press. We came to her first with our Save the Dates, which had already been designed, but needed to be printed. Kate recommended sturdy paper and had them printed for us on high-quality paper, and quickly. We went back to her for our invitations, which she designed from scratch. She offered quite a few designs, worked with us to find a style we liked, and printed them quickly, and without error. The invitations ended up being my favorite feature of our wedding: everyone commented on how beautiful they were, and how well they fit our theme. We could not have been happier with Kate's work! I plan on going back to her the next time I need a large quantity of invitations / business cards / etc. printed.
