I had the idea to make a wedding invitation that folded out into a poster for a while and then two things happened. I purchased some amazing 40-line wood type (6.75″ tall for the non-printers out there) and my best friends Justin and Ashley started planning their wedding. All hand set using wood type from my collection and some lead type from Montserrat College of Art’s shop. The poster is 18.75″ x 25″ on 50 lb text weight paper (so it wasn’t too bulky when folded) and folds down to be mailed. Nestled inside are a RSVP postcard and a card with directions to the event.
