The Aerialist Press

Loved the invites! Would definitely use them again!

The aerialist press was a joy to work with. Easy going, responsive avd very helpful. I really loved our letterpressed invitations and programs we got from them. Highly recommend!

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!

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!

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.

I chose a template but we changed it around so much that it looked like a completely original design. The invitations were incredible and they were patient with my endless changes. LOVE!!! Everyone gushed over the invites and the price was incredibly reasonable.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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!

I LOVE THIS VENDOR!
Alexandra was a pleasure to work with! Our HOUSE design letterpress invitation was beautiful and the most sffordable letterpress I could find on the market. Alexandra was so sweet & helped with everything! I recommended Aerialist Press to my friends & they were just as thrilled as me!
Beautiful designs and invitations! Fantastic customer service! I would highly recommend Aerialist Press.

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!

BEST. INVITATIONS. IN THE WHOLE WORLD. Don't even think about getting your invites anywhere else. You'll be doing your beautiful wedding a horrible disservice. I am obsessed with our wedding invitations. They were perfect.

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.

They were great to work with! They provided me proofs to approve every step of the way and they allowed me to change my mind multiple times. :)) The invites, note cards, and save the dates turned out beautiful! They really do an awesome job with letterpress! Great value!

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! :)

Love our invitations!! We've had so many compliments on them and other brides have estimated their price at 3X what they actually cost! Alexandra was so helpful in the design phase and I couldn't be happier with how they turned out!! Love!

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!

They were fabulous, quality was awesome and so was the price. Also very good about timeliness!

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!

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...

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!

Really happy we found them. We did letterpress invitations and they were really beautiful and elegant. They worked with us and did an unlimited number of drafts until we were happy.

The Aerialist Press was simply amazing to work with! So quick, really reasonably priced, and the product was truly beautiful. I had custom invitations from them and they perfectly matched my vision. Alexandra was a joy to work with and I cannot recommend them enough. If you are wanting letterpress invitations without paying millions, these are the people to see.

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 absolutely LOVE my invites. Alexandra is awesome, calm and patient. I had a great experience, and love, love, love my invites. I would highly recommend working with them, it's so great to have wedding vendors this fantastic to make your wedding planning process that much better.
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.

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.

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.

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.

Alex and her hubby were completely AMAZING!!!! My invitations were beautiful! I had a vision for how I wanted everything to look, and they made it work. 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!

Aerialist Press was amazing to work with - not only do they offer affordable letter press, but there are a local Bay Area busband-wife team that started the business after doing invites for their own wedding. really easy to work with, would definitely use them again for another event!

We LOVED our invitation suite. I was so fortunate to have found the aerialist press, Alexandra did an amazing job and we couldn't have been happier. Thank you so much, we would highly recommend this company to anyone!

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!!

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.

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.

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!

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!

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 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.

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!

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.

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.

It was an absolute pleasure to work with The Aerialist Press. This business has everything- talent, style, fantastic pricing, and mind-blowing customer service. Exceeds expectations!

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.

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!

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.

Alex and The Aerialist Press are wonderful. My invitations and thank you cards were absolutely beautiful, came quickly, and were a very reasonable price. Alex was extremely responsive and immediately addressed any concerns that I had. She was professional, sweet, and an absolute pleasure to work with. I definitely recommend The Aerialist Press!!!

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 LOVED working with Alex and Craig on my letterpressed map! They did a beautiful job, and created an element of our invitation that ended up being the centerpiece of the entire suite. Alex was extremely timely with her responses, very easy to work with, uber creative and super sweet to boot! I'd highly recommend working with Aerialist Press for any event/wedding.

Letterpress invites have always been a dream of mine. JUST A DREAM. I knew I could never afford the going rate on a letterpress invite until I decided to post on Etsy. I was getting OUTRAGEOUS bids and never caught a break. Until, The Aerialist Press responded. Their bid was nearly half of what everyone else was bidding. So I decided to take the next step and meet them to check out their work. I was pretty amazed. But what really sealed the deal is that they are an engaged couple as well. So what does that tell me? It tells me that they understand what I'm going through and that detail is EVERYTHING! So I decided to BOOK! They say my invites will be ready by June. Until then, with my updated review, I rate them 5 STARS!!

Thanks so much and can't wait to see the final result =)

=======================================================================

UPDATE!!!

Ramon and I met Alex and Craig last week to pick up our letterpressed invites and all I've got to say is WOW! Amazing! Spectacular! We now have the most OUT OF THIS WORLD, gorgeous invites. This is the kind of vendor EVERY bride wishes for, sweet, kind and generous.

I thought once I'd received my invites I'd be satisfied. haha. YEA RIGHT! Once I received my invites I was begging Ramon for more. LOL! So, with Ramon’s permission, we decided to use them for more of our wedding stationary. YAY!

Thanks Aerialist Press for making our letterpress dream become a reality!

=====================================================================================

ANOTHER UPDATE!!!

I just received another package in the mail. MY PROGRAMS!!!! Man-o-man, Alex and Craig just get better and better. What can I say, I am now a SUCKER for letterpress. I love their work!! Like I said before, I will be back for more.... and that's a promise!! =) Love you Alex and Craig!

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!

Alexandra was a pleasure to work with! If you are looking for affordable letterpress, then this is the place! And I loved working by email...so much easier.

LOVED my wedding invitations by the Aerialist Press. Absolutely beautiful and incredibly affordable for what you get. I sent my invitations out a week before my bridal shower and every single person at my bridal shower commented on how unique and beautiful the invitations were. Could not be any more happy :)

I was so happy when I found the Aerialist Press online! They were much less expensive than other letterpress vendors with the same, if not better, quality. Alex and Craig were a joy to work with. They are professional, creative, patient, and always on time with everything. They make you feel like your wedding is as important to them as it is to you!

It was a little scary to order wedding invitations while only seeing a draft, but they turned out better than I could have imagined! I am thrilled that I went through the Aerialist Press for my inviations and would not change a thing about my invitation suite.

With their service and quality, I have no doubt in my mind that the Aerialist Press is going to continue to grow and succeed.

Thank you Alex and Craig and good luck with everything!!

I am ecstatic about my invites! I just received them in the mail and they are beyond my imagination beautiful and perfectly suited for my wedding vibe. I sent Alexandra a piece of floral fabric that has been the inspiration for my entire wedding. She custom designed an invitation and RSVP card, based on a tiny little piece of swatch. She also color matched the ink to my bridesmaid dresses, based on a small piece of swatch.

On top of her creative skills, Alexandra is an absolute pleasure to work with - so patient and nice and professional. Since I live in LA and they are located in Northern California, we communicated 99% through email. Typically - things get lost in translation through e-mail - but our communication process went smoothly and I was so pleased with my invite design. I also asked Alexandra to design a template for my menu, programs, table numbers and thank you cards. I'm not letterpressing these items, however, she was so kind to extend her design services for a reasonable design fee.

I can't believe I have custom-designed letterpress invites - what a find! This would not be possible without The Aerialist Press as letterpress invites are typically for brides with bigger budgets. The quality and service are impeccable. If you want letterpress, The Aerialist Press is a must!

Check out my profile to see photos of the fabric and invitations.

We absolutely LOVE the Aerialist Press and truly enjoyed working with Alex and Craig. They are definitely one of our favorite vendors:-) During every step of the process, I felt like Alex cared just as much about our invitations as I did. They were always very quick to respond to us, paid so much attention to detail, and listened to everything we had to say. Even when I was being indecisive about the type of design or color I wanted, Alex and Craig were so patient with us. I love how they sent us multiple proofs so we could get exactly what we wanted in our invitations. They are also very reasonably priced, especially compared to other letterpress companies. Even more importantly, the quality is superb.

We received our invitations last week and I am STILL head over heels in love with them! They are absolutely gorgeous! I honestly cannot stop looking at them! Many of our guests have also commented about how beautiful our invitations are. I can't wait to find another excuse to work with them again soon!!

I found The Aerialist Press (TAP) here on PW and liked the PW ladies' reviews. FI and I kept going back and forth on whether we wanted letterpress or not. I priced other letterpress companies and found TAP the most affordable including shipping to Hawaii.

I sent an email to Alex via TAP's web site. I was very surprised that she responded right away (I believe it was the following day). We went back and forth a few times so that Alex could get a better understanding and picture of the invitation suite FI and I wanted. My emails were answered by the following day.

We received our invitation suite the other day and I am in love! Now I want letterpress for our thank you's and our married stationary!

Yes, yes, definitely book them!

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!

loved working with alex and craig!

just rec'd my invitation suite and i am over the moon =)

super affordable compared to other letterpress vendors

reliable, very easy communication, HIGHLY responsive - i never waited over one day, let alone several hours without either a phone call or email

i will definitely be tapping alex and craig to print my business cards, our "married" stationary, thank you cards and my business suite!

BOOK THEM!!! =)

Let me just begin by saying - WOW. Working with Craig and Alex was a dream. They are creative, patient, and so on time with everything they do. They are prompt to respond to emails and not shy to pick up the phone to make sure everything is crystal clear. I have had one huge vendor Nightmare during my planning, so I've been a little on edge, but working with Alex & Craig restored my faith in the industry and reminded me of what superb customer service is all about.

We started with some inspirations and came up with an initial design that I loved. FI didn't "get" the birdcage so Alex and Craig were kind enough to go through a few more rounds of proofs with us. And when FI said - you know what, you were right, the birdcage is the best, I thought - How am I going to go back and tell them we want to go with the first option after all that? Well, they were totally fine with it and didn't make me feel bad at all.

From there we went straight into final proofs and production. Invoicing and payments were done efficiently via PayPal. The invites arrived at my apartment nicely wrapped and tucked into tissue to prevent damage. I can't tell you how many compliments I have received on my suite since I sent them out.

Thank you Alex & Craig for making a lovely contribution to my wedding details. All the best to you in growing your business.

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.).

I was so releived when I learned about the Aerialist Press. I spent MONTHS combing through wedding invitations online and couldn't find anything that fit my style and budget. Then after learning about the Aerialist Press on WeddingBee, I checked them out and at first, I couldn't believe that letterpress could be so affordable. I emailed them that night and got a response back first thing in the morning. Very quick compared with other vendors I was working with.

The whole drafting process was so easy and quick. Alex and Craig were so helpful and patient with all of my changes. On all of my changes, they got everything right - never missing one detail. They really made me feel like I was getting "custom" invitations which was something I never thought I could afford. I ended purchasing my Thank You notes to have a complete suite.

I decided to take their word on the quality of paper and decided not to order a paper sample. The invitations that arrived were higher in quality than I expected. I couldn't be happier with them. My mom has even received calls from family members saying how we went "ALL OUT" on our invitations. Alex and Craig take pride in what they do and are extremely professional in their business.

I definately recommend the Aerialist Press if you're looking for unique, high-quality custom-made letterpress wedding stationary.

Wow...what a great experience working with Alex and Craig!!! They were incredible in working with me in my tight time frame; such quick responses to my emails and quick turn-around in getting my invites/RSVP cards/envelopes to me!

I knew I loved the look and feel of letterpress all along, but was doubtful that I'd find anyone that was both affordable and willing to create what I had envisioned in my mind. But as soon as I began corresponding with Alex, I knew that I would be able to get what I desired given my budget!! Hooray!!!

So many of my guests have complimented me on the invitations and I turn their compliments back to the Aerialist Press. Thanks so much for your amazing work!!!

I also found out about The Aerialist Press on weddingbee.com and I'm so lucky I did. My wedding is in four months and I needed to send out save the dates asap. I love letterpress, but I didnt think I'd have the time or the money...but about a week after I saw the weddingbee post I had GORGEOUS custom letterpressed save the date cards in my mailbox!!
I can't say enough about how great Alex was to work with. I called her on a Friday night before I was leaving for vacation. We talked about my ideas and I quickly took some profile shots of my fiance and I and emailed them to Alex. I picked a few fonts I liked and within a day or so Alex emailed me beautiful layout proofs to choose from.. with cameos she created from the pictures I sent! I asked for a few minor changes and Alex would always email me back with the revisions within the hour. I did all this while lying on the beach. My save the date design was approved on Sunday and I had them the next Monday(I'm in NY and the A.P is in Cali)!
Alex knew my job was a rush and was beyond accomadating. Their prices are a steal for this level of service and quality. I'm so happy with the cards and with my entire experience. Do yourself a favor and call them!!!

Um, can I give them 6 stars? :)

Let me start by saying that choosing The Aerialist Press was absolutely one of my best wedding descisions to date.

Like a couple of the other reviewers on PW, I found The Aerialist Press through a posting on Weddingbee. And do I ever feel lucky to have done so!! Honestly, I had all but written off letterpress as an unattainable luxury. However, The Aerialist Press' reasonable prices completely changed my mindset. Trust me, I did my research, and their quote beat their counterparts by a landslide. Even better, Alex and Craig were a dream to work with. They turned my vision into a reality and really take pride in their work. You can tell it is a true passion for them. I also have to second the review about Alex's availability. I, too, emailed her at an ungodly hour (figuring she'd answer the next day) and she responded MINUTES later! Oh, and did I mention she did all this while simultaneously planning her own wedding? Crazy!

Now that the suite is actually in my hand (TODAY! Yay!!), I can further boast about their GORGEOUS work. Everything came early, well-packaged and with a thank-you note to boot! No, guys, thank YOU!

To other brides-to-be, check them out for yourself. I have no doubt you'll be writing their next glowing review.

one of the best vendors i've worked with so far. prompt communications, helpful tips and advice, and great, quality paper products. they sent me envelopes earlier than my invites so i could get start lining and addressing them since i was running late on the invitations. my invites look great - i just sent them out over the weekend and the rsvps (online is great!) are rolling in. the feedback from the guests on the letterpress work has been great!

Another reason why I love PW! The Aerialist Press was recommended to me by another PW bride when she read about my invitation vendor dilemma on the forums. I was able to catch some samples of their work from other brides on PW so with time and desperation against me I made the call.

And I'm so glad I did! The Aerialist Press certainly took all my invitation worries away as they lovingly embraced me in their letterpress arms and guided me through the process of conceptualizing, creating, designing and printing the first 'WOW' my guests will see! I am very satisfied with their product but cannot say enough about their service! For those not graphic design savvy, Alex conveys very detailed messages about the look and feel of your invitation. She walks you through the process and makes sure you understand what the steps are and will always back track to make sure you are happy. Given she's a bride herself, she gets that every single piece IS important (even if your FI doesn't).

The Aerialist Press produces affordable, quality, gorgeous letterpress. Your guests will definitely be wowed. More importantly you will get to put another check on your to do list and not ever, EVER look back!

I found the Aerialist Press through a post on Weddingbee and am SO glad that I contacted them. They were totally wonderful to work with - very helpful, patient, super quick to respond (I think the most I ever waited for a response was a day, actually I once sent Alex an email at around 11:00pm and by 1:00am I had an email back!!) and easy to communicate with, I could go on... Now we have an absolutely amazing custom invitation suite that is exactly what I had always dreamed of!! I will definitely be using them again in the near future for more fabulous wedding stationary.
And, as other people have noted they are super affordable. I, too, had seemingly exhausted my custom letterpress (well, even just letterpress) options when I found their company. They were more than willing to work with any of my ideas, had a quick turnaround and understood my situation (because they are also engaged)!
My experience was wonderful, all around wonderful - you should contact them!

The Aerialist Press did an absolutely amazing job on my 175 thank you cards. They were on lovely cardstock with beautiful letterpress and very affordable. Communication was excellent and I was sent photo updates along the way. The whole turn around process was less than a month and I received the thank you cards & envelopes in a nicely packaged box. I highly recommend this company! PM me if you would like me to send a picture of the product.

Beautiful work and competitive pricing. We love them!

The Aerialist Press offers gorgeous letterpress invitations. Alex and Craig are wonderful to work with!

Aerialist Press is awesome. Their invitation suites are simply gorgeous and Alexandra and Craig are a pleasure to work with. Letterpress is a beautiful, classic way to set the tone for your wedding and hiring Aerialist Press for your invitations and signage is a great wedding planning decision!

Alex and Craig of The Aerialist are incredible. Their work speaks for itself—Alex, who leads the design side of things, is amazing when it comes to custom designs and figuring out exactly how to translate a vague description/request into an inspiring, concrete design. Better yet, they are the most reasonably priced letterpress studios I've found yet. And, in case you're still not convinced, they're also two of the most easy going yet detailed-oriented, personable but professional, and simply fantastic all around people I've worked with in the wedding industry. After trying out several different local printers, I can now proudly say that I exclusively recommend The Aerialist to clients of mine.

What more can a bride (or wedding planner like myself) ask for? They're inspiringly talented, reasonably priced, and simply wonderful to work...

The team at The Aerialist are the best for any letter press work you need. The final results are AMAZING! They are my only recomendation to my brides.
Xoxo,
