Helpful Staff & Great Quality

We went with one of their house designs, which we had a harder time customizing than we expected (it was us, not them) and they helped us through our indecisiveness. Everyone we interacted with during the process was lovely, and the quality turned out great. Highly recommend!

Every bit of wonderful

Being somewhat naive to wedding planning, I honestly had no idea what to budget for invitations - and was a little surprised at the quotes I was receiving. Aerialist press had very straightforward quotes and many different options to fit a range of budgets. I worked with Alexandra on creating our invitations and she was super responsive and super sweet the whole time - she made me feel as if I was her only customer (but I certainly know that’s not true! She offered suggestions when appropriate and was more than willing to make changes whenever I asked. We were quoted ~2 weeks for processing and delivery once all details were finalized - however our suite came much quicker than expected which was a pleasant surprise. Could not recommend their services highly enough!

Custom made easy!

We had a hard time finding invites that were the style we were going for and were starting to think that we would have to settle for wedding paper goods that we were honestly not too excited about. Then along cam Aerialist Press and all of those feelings went away.

This company gives you the option of being able to make invites + more that feel custom, yet in an extremely easy process at a reasonable price.

They were very responsive, helpful & patient with all of the questions I had throughout creating our paper goods.

If you are looking for elegant, well-made invites that make you feel like you sat down with someone to create them just for your special day, then this is your place!

The Best in the business!

Aerialist Press was a dream to work with for our wedding paper. Gianna was incredibly helpful and responsive throughout the entire process. She had great ideas and came up with suggestions my fiance' and I hadn't even thought of. She was so professional and polite (and SO patient with us and our many requests!) I can't say enough about this company--I would highly recommend Aerialist Press to anyone looking for the best quality and service for their wedding paper needs!

As a self-proclaimed lover of all things paper, creating our invitation suite has been one of my favorite parts of the planning process, and working with Aerialist Press was a dream.

Gianna and the rest of the team at The Aerialist Press were wonderful to work with, and so accommodating. I was doing everything from a distance, and the process was seamless. I relied heavily on Gianna for recommendations with color, liners, and ribbons since I was unable to see everything in person. We have been hearing nothing but wonderful feedback from all of our guests as they receive their invitations in the mail. I wish I could have done more with our suite, but kept it fairly simple.

The quality of paper and the letterpress was just gorgeous. We can't wait to coordinate some of our day-of paper with the Aerialist Press as well.

Our invitations were one of my favorite things about our wedding. They were able to move things around to customize one of their standard design offerings to be exactly what I was looking for. They were responsive and great to work with. Additionally, I had them design a custom illustration for my suite. It didn't turn out quite the way I had envisioned and they provided me with a more graphic image for free. Plus, they allowed me to use the custom illustration they did initially to put int on the cover of my programs that I had printed by minted. Great work and excellent customer service. Super happy with their work. I can't recommend them enough!

Love this letterpress and foil company!! We ordered both the save the dates and invitations from The Aerialist Press. The most exquisite designs, high quality papers, and expert guidance from the AP team. Caitlyn guided us every step of the way and our invitations were stunning. So many people have commented on how beautiful the invitation suite was. Such an important part of the overall wedding design - I couldn't have been more pleased with the end result. Will definitely use them for future invitations.

I used the Aerialist Press and worked with Caitlyn for my invitation suite and programs for my wedding. It was simply a wonderful experience. Their house designs were gorgeous and I found one that perfectly fit the feel of our wedding. We met with Caitlyn in person to see the papers, inks, and fonts and she helped us customize - but this wasn't necessary because she was so responsive to email as well. It was a flawless experience and the product was gorgeous. I love stationary but didn't want to spend an arm and a leg on invitations. Instead I got gorgeous invitations, personalized to our likes, at a reasonable price. The value was outstanding, their service was outstanding, and the product was incredible.

The Aerialist Press did my invitations earlier this year. I was initially hesitant to use letterpress, but I really feel this was money well spent, and the prices very reasonable compared to the other letterpress places I looked at. I chose a house design, and I was pleased with the entire process. They were flexible with a small request of mine design-wise, and my invitations, cards and other items arrived well-packaged, and all as described. Now that I've sent out the invites, I've had nothing but compliments on how lovely they are. I definitely recommend them.

Overly impressed with the Aerialist Press!

The Aerialist Press really does makes wedding dreams come true! Alex & her team went above and beyond my wildest expectations and delivered an incredible experience from start to finish. They did an amazing job bringing my vision to life in a one-of-a-kind invitations suite that looked like a million bucks but didn't break the bank. If you are looking for letterpress or foiled invitations, look no further. This is the place for you! You will be blown away by their extensive design capabilities, quality of work, attention to detail, and stand out customer service. Thanks Aerialist Press!

Alex and the Aerialist Press did a really wonderful job with our invitations. My husband and I had a book-themed wedding, and we did a custom order with them where they designed a 'book cover', a wedding invite that looked like the first page of a novel, and response card that looked like a library card. It was amazing and beautiful, and we kept getting compliments on them! We had some guests email us their responses and keep the response card because it was so cute!

I had absolutely no idea what I wanted for invitations until I found one of the designs by Aerialist Press!! Even though I am from Virginia, I knew I had to work with them. I worked with Caitlyn, and she was really helpful in explaining all of my options, and working with me until I had what I wanted. I really loved that I got as many digital proofs as I wanted before having to pay for anything!

I sent my invitations out two weeks ago and have been getting so many compliments on them already. Definitely one of my best wedding decisions yet :)

Alex and Aerialist Press were more than willing to help us tailor their house designs to make our invitations perfect for our wedding! You can customize not only colors but also wording and other design features. They also were more than happy to offer a postcard feature for our response card. Their house invitations are all so beautiful; it's hard to make a decision. The letterpress feature added a nice, classy touch to our wedding at a very affordable price. We received so many compliments from our guests and the invites really helped set the tone for our wedding festivities. A big thank you to Alex for making this process so smooth and enjoyable but also for being efficient and quick too!

Hands down one of the best "surprise" vendors I found! I had all but given up the idea of letterpress invitations in my budget that fit my very specific style until I found Aerialist Press. Not only are their designs the most gorgeous, unique and creative out there, but their prices can't be beat. Alexandra is professional, responsive and made us feel like we were custom clients. Being located in NYC I was never worried or doubted Aerialist Press would get the job done.

Alexandra did the most amazing job on our wedding suite - from the invitation to the programs and menus - the quality and style was unsurpassed for the price. Their work was flawless and materials were very high quality. Alexandra even went the extra mile to find the exact envelope lining pattern we were looking for despite not typically carrying - and the end result of the work was phenomenal. Would absolutely recommend Aerialist to my friends and family...already have!

What an absolute pleasure it was to work with Alexandra. Every time I got an email from her, I was excited to see what she had come up with. She happily took my changes into consideration and cheerily sent me proof after proof of tiny wording changes, font changes, icon changes, and more without making me feel like I was bothering her. The quality of work was outrageous. I still receive compliments about our unique, personal, and beautiful invitations today, even from Guys! (who are known to not read invitations). Our design was so personal to us and meant a lot, our invitation has so much sentimental value. Thank you for your hard work, I will use Aerialst press for everything from now on.

We just picked up our Aerialist Press letterpress invitations last week, and we're very happy with how they came out. We also had the guest addresses digitally printed. We've already gotten back many compliments from our guests.

Since I live in the Bay Area, I was able to make an appointment and meet with Alex to discuss designs and see samples. She was happy to modify the house design we chose (Pemberly) and send us several iterations of proofs so we could try different fonts. Even if you can't make it to Emeryville, I would not hesitate to order from them. They do beautiful work and their prices are much more affordable than other letterpress printers I saw out there.

I had an absolutely amazing experience with The Aerialist Press. Alexandra made the invitation ordering process a breeze. My fiance and I knew we wanted a mad libs style RSVP card and it took just a few descriptive sentences for Alexandra to create a beautiful piece that fit my vision exactly. Further, I was a bit indecisive with a few of the important details for the invitations, including colors, but Alexandra was so patient with me for the number of emails I sent her. The end result was stunning and I couldn't have asked for a better vendor.

The Aerialist Press did an amazing job with my invitations. Alexandra was quick to respond to all my e-mails, she provided updated revisions of the invitation suite within a day or two of my changes and they turned out great. The quality is fantastic and the colors for the ink are beautiful. All in all if you have the money to spend on letterpress (I didn't but still wanted to great invitations so I worked around the extra expense here) this is great company to go with!

I cannot say enough good things about The Aerialist Press! I've been a bit overwhelmed and stressed by all the wedding choices out there - so many styles, so many themes - but the one thing I really, really wanted, from the beginning, was letterpress invitations. I didn't think I'd be able to get them, though, due to our budget. However, I found The Aerialist Press on some blogs and was surprised to find that I could get grade-A quality for a lot less $ than the other letterpress options out there. Even though we worked with one of their house designs, Alexandra was flexible, and we were free to move things around however we wanted. The end design felt pretty much like a custom design. We had a tight schedule when we ordered, but Alexandra was really responsive, turning around 6 proofs in only a couple of days. We were also able to talk to her on the phone (we're in NYC, so going in person to check out colors was not an option) and she was really patient with all our questions and requests. At one point, when we couldn't decide on whether we liked a particular color, she even offered to send us another invite sample so we could get a better idea. The turnaround time was also exceptional - we got our invites in about a month, as we had asked, despite Hurricane Sandy. We leapt for joy when we got them! Even the fiance, and he is most definitely not an invite guy, haha. The invites are just beautiful, thick, and turned out much better than we expected. The guest address printing on our envelopes was really nice, too (and saved us the calligrapher money). I am beyond happy and cannot wait to send them out. Maybe it's silly, but getting these beautiful invites has made us really excited about getting married, which is a welcome respite from a year of stress! Thank you Aerialist Press!

Our invitations from Aerialist Press were perfect. I wanted letterpress and was so happy I was able to find one within my budget. Alexandra was quick to respond to emails, set up PDF proofs exactly as I wanted, and mailed me inner envelopes quickly after I forgot to buy them with the initial order. If you are looking for beautiful letterpress invitations, Aerialist Press is a perfect place to go!

I love The Aerialist Press! Like many other reviewers, I fell in love with letterpress but thought it was well out of our budget for our wedding invitations. I spent hours looking at dozens of websites and reviews but didn't find anything I liked in our price range until I found The Aerialist Press. Not only are their prices affordable, but their designs are beautiful. I fell in love with mine (the Clare suite) right away, but they offer a wonderful variety of designs for every type of wedding. Alexandra is fantastic to work with and did an amazing job with our save dates and wedding invitations. I live in DC, so we're on opposite coasts, but this was never an issue. Alexandra is incredibly patient and responsive, and she made this process virtually stress-free for me. We have received so many compliments on our save the dates and invitations. My fiancé rarely gets excited about any of the wedding details, but even he was thrilled with our invitations. We cannot recommend The Aerialist Press highly enough!

My fiance and I wanted letterpress invitations, but were initially disappointed with how expensive many printers charged. Until we found The Aerialist Press. We chose an elegant grape leaf design for our wedding in Napa, and then customized an additional activities card. While designing the proofs, Alexandra was responsive and made sure that we were very satisfied with the final product (we did 5 rounds of edits). The whole package was beautiful, unique, and looked like it cost much more than it did!

We used Aerialist for our wedding in Philly and we are based in NYC. They were incredible to deal with, we went through about 8 rounds of edits and proofs, and each proof took about a half day or less for them to update.

Every aspect of our invites were adjustable, we basically designed one of the cards ourselves. They turned out beautifully. I know people who spent at least twice as much on letterpress invites, that didn't turn out half as good as these. They were extremely high quality paper, the design was exactly what we agreed to and we couldn't have asked for more.

Our invites were absolutely perfect because of the folks at Aerialist. I would highly, highly, highly recommend these guys to anyone, i wish there was a "6.0" rating I could choose from. They were the best I would use them again in a heartbeat.

I absolutely loved my invitations (Archer, creamsicle and charcoal). Working with Alexandra was super easy. She was very responsive to email and gave me her honest opinion on the invitation wording (we had a reception only and I wanted to make that clear). I have received so many compliments on the invitations and they honestly were one of my favorite parts of the wedding.

Long ago, I fell in love with letterpress stationary and dreamed to letterpress stationary for my wedding. When we started planning, I found out how much letterpress costs and I thought my dream was not going to come true. Then I found The Aerialist Press. They have beautiful designs and wonderful quality materials. They were able to personalize my invitation suite to include Chinese characters- something that I really wanted to include. If you order their sample set, you will be blown away by the quality and the beautiful vibrant colors they are able to produce. We had soo many friends and family rave about our invitations and I would definitely recommend their company to anyone looking for affordable, beautiful letterpress stationary. They are friendly and professional and answered every email swiftly- all important qualities when planning your own wedding.

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!

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!

I feel blessed to have found The Aerialist Press for my invitations. They provided personal and personalized service from my inquiry, through my many revisions, they even held the press as things changed on my side- working with them was a pleasure. I can only sing their praises; the service and quality of their work is impeccable, the craftsmanship of my invitations surpassed my high expectations- they are truly keepsakes! I will eagerly use The Aerialist Press when an occasion arises and I recommend them highly to all my friends.

If I could give Alex a 6 out of 5 I would! The Aerialist Press bent over backwards to help us meet all of our wedding deadlines including doing a very last minute seating chart that we needed assistance with. The quality and uniqueness of their designs for the price is unmatched by others. They were also extremely quick to respond to questions or feedback as we went through a variety of proofs to create something just right for our wedding. I hope I get the chance to work with these guys again as I can't sing their praises enough!

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!

Alexandra was a dream to work with in every respect. I had been searching high and low for the right letterpress vendor, and am beyond thrilled that I stumbled upon The Aerialist Press. First, Alexandra's designs are whimsical, beautiful, and unique. Second, she was incredibly professional: prompt and thorough with responses to my questions and inquiries, eager to adapt the design to our needs, and kept in touch throughout the entire process. Third, the finished product was exquisite. We received endless compliments on our invitation suite; we really felt that it reflected who we are as a couple and the kind of event we were throwing. Fourth, the price truly cannot be beat, especially compared to other letterpress vendors. I certainly plan to return to The Aerialist Press when it comes time for friends' baby showers, and in the meantime, I would wholeheartedly recommend them to any bride or groom.

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.

I used the Anthropologie line, and had a custom-made map, I also had the invites addressed, I have been married for two months and still have the invites where I can see them. LOVE.

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!

Thank you Alexandra and Craig so much for all of your patience, hard work, creativity and best of all absolutely gorgeous wedding invitations!! We loved our suite so very much and received so many compliments on all of the pieces. Our letterpress stationary was one of my favorite parts of the wedding planning process - the suite fit our wedding theme and ideas perfectly and the pieces turned out so beautifully! We can't thank you enough for your talent and passion and couldn't have asked for prettier invitations. They were exactly what we hoped they'd be!!

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!

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!

I cannot say enough wonderful things about working with Alexandra and the Aerialist Press. I searched high and low for invitations but knew my search was over when I found their site. Working with them was so easy and such a pleasure, and Alexandra was very responsive to all of my questions, concerns, and changes.

I recently received my invitation suite in the mail, and they are beautiful. They also addressed all of our envelopes for us which was an enormous time saver; they looked great!

We put them in the mail two days ago, and I've already received a number of compliments of them. You can't go wrong working with them!

If you choose letterpress...you cannot go wrong with the Aerialist Press. Alexandra and Craig were so friendly and knowledgeable which was greatly appreciated as I often felt like an overwhelmed bride.

They allowed us to customize one of their house designs and truly created a product we loved and felt was unique and representative of our wedding.

Everything was fabulous and we would use this vendor over and over again! Thank you.

Our invitations received rave reviews by our guests...

Craig was a pleasure to work with - incredible artistic vision, responsiveness, and professionalism. The Aerialist Press was a hidden gem - and their pricing is very, very reasonable - the letterpress was simply gorgeous and provided the foundation for our wedding theme.

After working early on with some web-based invitation companies; we found their pricing to be very high and (based on the quality of the proofs we received) the value to be very low.

Some exhaustive research brought us to The Aerialst Press - and we could not be happier with our experience.

Thanks so much Craig - the invitations and wedding program were simply amazing.

I wish I could give an extra star for value - the Aerialist Press was an absolute dream come true for me! I had my heart set on letterpress invitations, but my budget just could not absorb thousands of dollars in invitations for my wedding of 150. First off, the prices listed on the website ARE what you pay - you will not get stiffed with hundreds of extra dollars in fees or anything like that. I was sold the minute I got my "sample pack" in the mail. I was just certain that the quality had to be crappy in order to be such a deal, but all of the paper was soft and cloth-like with a hefty weight, and the ink was clear and bright on everything, even the delicate little pressed details.

I originally was going to go with one of the House designs, but as I started talking with Alexandra about my theme and style, I opted for a Couture design instead, which frankly is an even bigger bargain. After about a week of telling her my theme/inspiration, Alexandra sent me back about 5 different ORIGINAL designs ... all of them wonderful! She was super encouraging and best of all patient as she and I bounced the designs back and forth to each other at least 6 or 7 times. She made it very clear that her goal was to make me happy, not just shuffle another customer on down the line. The personal service was SO wonderful and thoughtful, I felt like I had a real teammate helping me to develop my whole concept.

I ordered invitations, RSVP cards, and my wedding programs, and all of the pieces were just spectacular. I had so many phone calls after they went out about the "gorgeous invitations." My photographer went ga-ga with the programs! My only regret is that I didn't order thank-you cards while I was at it!! THANK YOU ALEXANDRA AND CRAIG!

Alexandra and Craig were absolutely amazing to work with. They were my best wedding "find". I wanted letterpress, but the prices that I was finding for 150 invitations were close to $2k. The aerialist press was a fraction of the cost and the invites were beautiful.

In terms of communication and responsiveness, I couldn't ask for anything more. I absolutely adore them and their work!

Gorgeous! We worked with Alex & The Aerialist Press for our invitation suite and thank you cards. I turned to online recommendations after finding a lack of unique options in our local area coupled with high prices. We selected one of their house designs and made some small modifications to make the invites personal. Alex is a pleasure to work with, quick to respond, and so creative! The invitations really set the aesthetic for our wedding.

After searching for days on the internet for affordable letter press invitations, I stumbled upon The Aerialist Press, and was please to discover they were within an hour of where I live, not that that would have mattered, as most of the process was done via phone and email, which they were most responsive. I did drive out to their studio after having received the sample pack, and loved everything about them, their studio and their work. I needed a quick turn around time and they were accommodating. They modified one of their house designs and the invitations, response cards and envelopes were stunning. More than six months later and still love touching and seeing them. As one reviewer said, she could have saved hundreds of dollars with a digital print, but in my mind this was money well spent. Alexandra & Craig are professional, classy and personable, I enjoyed working with them.

I really enjoyed working with Alexandra and Chris from The Aerialist Press. I found them after countless hours of surfing the web and I am happy that my research paid off.
As far as my wedding invitations were concerned, I was flexible with the design but there were 4 things that were very important to me:
1 – Letterpress Invites = because it has such a classic and timelessly elegant painstakingly beautiful result
2 – Bilingual = because my family speaks English and the hubby’s family speaks Spanish
3 – Double Sided Printing = 1 side for English & 1 side for Spanish
4 – Price = letterpress is much more expensive than other types of print such as thermography, engraving, silk-screening, embossed, lithography and digital printing.

Honest advice: If I was not as obsessed with presentation, paper and print as I am, I would have saved myself hundreds of dollars and opted to have my invitations printed digitally knowing full well that by whatever means I printed the invites, they will all eventually end up in the trash. But for good or bad, that isn’t me. I have always noted, appreciated and remembered cards and presentation.
I was looking for letterpress in Maryland and couldn’t find ANYTHING within my budget. But I eventually found The Aerialist Press website. They were much more affordable than all the other letterpress sites I had found. I couldn’t believe it so I bought their $5 sample pack. When I received the samples I was so presently surprised… they were beautiful!
I sent an email to theaerialistpress.com I told them my vision for a bilingual-destination-multicultural wedding invitation and they wrote me back a few days later with enthusiasm. I felt as if Alexandra and Chris were excited to work with me. They had great thoughts and we exchanged all of our ideas via e-mail. They were patient, passionate and extremely responsive. Because of my specific requirements we tried a few different ideas but it was a fun and easy process. They were capable of doing whatever I asked!
After 7 proofs, we got it…perfectly! I had double-sided custom designed letterpress invitations with a bilingual RSVP card and envelope all within a lined printed envelope addressed in printed script.
They mailed everything to me and I personally stuffed and stamped the invites. I had e-mailed them all the address in an Excel file so I didn’t have to handwrite anything.
I was so proud of the final product! The Aerialist Press was such an easy and friendly vendor to work with. I would defiantly recommend them.

Craig and Alex are amazing! We were a bit picky when it came to our invitations and they worked with us for weeks (maybe even months) until we found something that we loved. They were patient, EXTREMELY responsive (probably the most responsive vendor we had throughout the entire process; Alex would respond immediately to e-mails), and the invitations turned out beautiful, elegant, and timeless. We received so, so, so many compliments on them from our guests. Best of all, they were far more reasonable for letterpress than anyone else we came across. I highly, highly recommend The Aerialist Press!

The Aerialist Press provided friendly, prompt, creative, affordable and flexible service for our custom-designed wedding invitations. Alexandra was a dream to work with and was extremely patient in going through all the invitation iterations. I went into the invitation design process not knowing exactly what I wanted and the original drafts were right on target! (even though all of our correspondence was via email).

Unfortunately, getting the additional pieces was a little out of our budget, but Alexandra was extremely flexible and designed the RSVP and Reception cards for a small fee, something that definitely would've taken us hours to produce and would never have turned out so lovely. She even provided suggestions and feedback on the other pieces even though it was outside of our invitation order. I guess in planning this wedding it just seems like everyone is trying to milk every little penny out of you and Alexandra was so generous with her suggestions and time - unexpected and greatly appreciated.

The entire invitation suite fits together really nicely and truly represents our wedding. Even the fiance, who was a little skeptical of my enthusiasm for letterpress invitations, was totally blown away and appreciated the beauty of their work. He's a total letterpress convert now!

I highly, without any reservations, would recommend working with Aerialist Press. Thanks guys!

Alexandra was awesome to work with, and the invitations I ordered were beautiful. I wanted letterpress invitations more than anything, but didn't think I could get them with my budget. I read about The Aerialist Press on a wedding blog and quickly contacted them about designing invitations. Alex was so easy to work with (especially when I wanted to change the design), and she always got back to me within a day or two. The invitations were really nice, and the price was very good for custom invitations.
Also, I was really impressed that Alex never tried to upsell me. She never tried to get me to buy more (RSVP cards, etc.).

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.

Being in the design field myself, details are extremely important to me and I couldn't be happier with how they turned out.

Even though I was a Texas bride, I fell in love with one of the designs from Aerialist Press. Alexandra was super helpful. I could always call or email with questions, and I didn't have any problem reaching her. I placed several orders from her throughout my engagement, and everything was great. I got compliments from the guests about how beautiful the invitations were. The prices are a little bit high, but for letterpress, they are very reasonable. I was very happy with the results of everything I ordered!

All the printed materials for our wedding—from the invitations to the programs—were expertly done by Alexandra at the Aerialist Press. We love letterpress and were worried that we wouldn't be able to afford it. But she gave us something that was not only good value but also amazingly beautiful. One word of warning: She gets busy, so sometimes it will take a little while to get a response. But it's worth it to be patient and be able to work with her.

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! :)

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.

The Aerialist Press was the best value I could find anywhere on the Internet. My guests LOVED the wedding invitations and thankfully, it was within my budget. Alexandra and Craig were great to work with and so accommodating! You can really tell they love what they do and so it's great to see their passion in their work.

We worked with the Aerialist Press for our invitation suite, menus, and escort cards for our 9/28 wedding. The quality of their letterpress designs and printing was absolutely beautiful - we could not have been more pleased with the finished product.

My only complaint is that they can be a little hard to get on the phone (this could be in part due to their small team and the time change to Chicago!), but other than that we had a really great experience.

Loved the finished product we received! We placed our order over the internet/phone, hoping for the best and that is exactly what was delivered. Competitive pricing on letterpress. Thank you!

AMAZING!!! I am a huge perfectionist and searched far and wide for invitations that both lived up to my vision and were in my price range. Finally I found Alexandra and was sooooo glad I did. I was able to get personalized couture letter pressed invites for the price of most generic ones elsewhere. So happy!!! Alexandra was so great about going back and forth accommodating all of my little changes. Originally I had planned on just getting invites but I ended up getting accommodation cards, personalized envelopes and a menu design and program design. I just loved them so much I wanted to have the design everywhere in my wedding. I have never seen a more beautiful invitation and would highly recommend Aerialist Press.

Alexandra was a pleasure to work with. We always liked letterpress but after searching the Internet, all the rates were out of our budget. That is, until we found the Aeralist Press. Their prices are affordable for letterpress and you can tell they love what they do. Alexandra was always quick to respond to us. The whole process, from inquiry to when we received our beautiful invitations was simple and stress-free. Once we saw our letterpress invitations, we were beyond happy! We couldn’t wait to send them out to our family and friends. We highly recommend their letterpress service to anyone!

We used The Aerialist Press to create our letterpressed wedding invitations, reply cards, program, and menu. While the final products were beautiful (for the most part), I have mixed feelings about the service we received. We received many compliments on our paper goods, especially our invitations, and I loved the way everything looked. However, The Aerialist Press was challenging to work with at times. Ultimately, I think The Aerialist Press is a great option for affordable letterpress with lovely house design suites, but they need more employees to provide a higher level of service to their customers.

They are not available by phone or email on evenings or weekends, and their studio is not open at these times for pick up either (I had to go there before 5 pm on a weekday to pick up my invitations, although they do ship at an extra cost), which makes communication somewhat inconvenient.

The main issue we had was with our day-of paper goods. We paid for design work for the inner pages of our program, which wouldn't be letterpressed, but we wanted them to look consistent with the rest of the program and decided to use their digital printing services as well. The Aerialist Press merely changed the font of the text we provided, without even proofreading for formatting errors before sending us the proof. There were also formatting errors in several other pieces (like the word "potatoes" being separated onto two lines and hyphenated on our menu) which wound up wasting a significant amount of time going back and forth with proofs. This resulted in our pick up date being pushed back to only a few days before our wedding. After a phone call and email, they expedited our printing at no charge, but this was not what we expected after providing them with so much business.

While their letterpress is beautiful, high quality, and more affordable than most other printers, The Aerialist Press' service lacks the attention to detail that would make it a great business.

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.

After a friend raved about the Aerialist Press and I saw their stellar reviews here, I knew they'd be the right vendor for my custom letterpress invitations - especially when I found out how affordable they were. Alexandra was friendly and eager to get the invitations just right, and I loved the designs on their site, which seemed promising for my custom project.

Alas, it sounds like everyone else in the world had the same realization I did at the same time, and as far as I can tell, they haven't been able to successfully manage all the projects they've agreed to. As a result, my experience with them was less than ideal. Literally everything we worked together on took longer than initially promised, Alexandra would disappear for weeks, and she made a critical mistake that will result in my invitations going out several weeks late (which she has yet to respond to, a week after the mistake was made clear to me).

Overall, the Aerialist Press provides some lovely designs at great prices, and they're nice people. But they have a lot to learn about customer service, project management, and running a business. I would not recommend working with them until they are better staffed and understand how to scale the success of their company.
