I am really glad I just found this site after completing my own invites.  I, like many brides out there, salivated over letterpress stationary from the first few days of planning.  I also knew from the beginning that they were not in the budget.  If I thought there was a chance at DIYing at home, I would have done it in a heartbeat.  I can't imagine how long it would have taken me since the time per press is definately longer than the Gocco and I spent countless hours pressing those.  Who knows I may try to tackle this for a later project!!

I love the look of these.  I am sure it would take some practice before getting this kind of design to work.
