I am a digital graphic designer by trade, so I had to have a really slick invite. It can be hard to translate that into Twin Raven's style of hand-cranked embossed paper products - but the end result was simply stunning!

Kristin answered all my questions quickly and the process was relatively painless in turning my vision into a lovely invite. She has nearly limitless options of color, texture, opacity, etc - so be sure to have a good idea in mind before starting the process. (I'd recommend pintrest for inspiration - its always best when you can point to something everyone can see and say "like this!")

The only thing to fully understand before you choose - - - this is NOT KINKOS - its like the artisanal cousin of a print shop... So you just can't expect super speedy results because this is truly people powered, hand-crank process - not a xerox spitting copies out at a mile a minute. Quality, unique touches, hand-made designs and special requests all take extra time. Do yourself a favor and give yourself and Twin Ravens the extra time they need to excel and help your invite to stand out.

Many of our guests observed - "I normally throw out my old wedding invites - but this is so beautiful, I want to keep it forever!" - - - what more could we ask of a printer???

We ordered business cards for our Wedding and Special Event Floral design business. We wanted to freshen up our image, so we were looking for something out of the box and unique. Twin Ravens Press provided just that! We are still drooling over our business cards. If our business cards are anything like their wedding stationary and invites, you won't be disappointed!

Twin Ravens Press did an awesome job on my wedding invitations and announcements! I wanted to use letterpress because it's a process that uses quality paper and requires some handwork. It's an awesome art! Kristin created a design that matched exactly what I had imagined because I was going for a tennis theme. She even created place cards using an element from my invite which I loved! I ended up creating my own bands and envelope liners from some cool Japanese paper I found because I wanted to some of the work myself. Kristin offers the extra banding/pockets, but considering that I didn't have a lot of time from when I ordered the invites and when they went out I decided to do the extras myself. I had the opportunity to check out her studio because my in-laws live near her. Itwas neat because I got to see a bunch of the work she does and pick up some cool cards that she makes! Her pricing on letterpress cannot be beat and it is better than a lot of the stuff I found out there!

We had such a great experience working with Kristin! We live on the East Coast so we never met in person, but she was so responsive through e-mail and phone calls. She was open and able to do anything. She mailed us paper samples for the invites, envelopes, and liners. It was really great to be able to see and feel the options before we made decisions. Her papers are really rich and thick, making them look very expensive. She did multiple drafts, making any and all changes that we asked for. All around, a really great experience! Beautiful letterpress invitations at a reasonable rate.

I found Kristen on the internet at a time when I was randomly looking for letterpress invitations. When I got engaged I went back to her website and realized we lived in the same town! I immediately contacted her, and she offered me to tour her studio. Her studio is really neat, and Kristen was absolutely lovely. She showed me her letterpress machine and demonstrated a few samples for me. She also showed me her impressive collection of letterpress invitations and gave me a few samples. She did an invitation suite for us, ceremony invitation card, reception invitation card, enveloppe with our names and address. We found a bunch of decorative papers that we liked and Kristen was able to cut them to the right size for enveloppe liners. Our invitations were gorgeous, and we got a ton of compliments. Kristen updated us on her progress and asked questions when she had doubt. Overall we are thrilled with the experience we had with her. I recommend Kristen for any stationnary project you might have!

Our wedding invitations and Save the Dates turned out wonderfully. The hand created invitations are so beautiful and extremely well done. Twin Ravens did have some problems getting our stuff on time. There were some empty promises about finish dates for both our Save the Dates and invitations. If you choose to work with Twin Ravens, make sure you have ample time to design and order your invitations, and make sure the time line is understood as part of the contract. It was extremely easy to work with Twin Ravens to get exactly what we wanted. Our wedding invitations were wonderfully unique and well done.
