Foil press printing is our most luxurious printing option. The dimensionality and metallic shine of foil printing will truly set your wedding invitations or Save the Dates apart from the rest.
Similar to letterpress printing, foil press printing uses a metal die of your design and heat to (literally) press the design into the paper with metallic foil, creating an engraved effect. This is a manual printing method - each individual card is pressed by hand in our studio using professional-grade foil printing press.
Foil colors: Champagne, Gold, Holographic, Rose Gold, or Silver. See below for color options.
Options: Save the Date card only, Main Invitation card only, or all cards in your invitation order (Main Invitation card, Details card, and RSVP card)
This upgrade must be purchased with a mela design co Save the Date or Invitation set
Wax seals are a great way to add a personal touch to your wedding invitations or Save the Dates. Not only do they add a unique charm to your envelopes, but they also help you save valuable time by efficiently sealing your envelopes.
Wax seals are hand-poured and stamped in our studio. The wax seals are affixed with an adhesive backing for a peel-and-stick application. The backing uses professional grade, permanent adhesive to help ensure your wax seals will survive the mailing process.
Choose your own wax seal color and stamp:
Color: Antique Gold, Black, Champagne Gold, Champagne Rose, Linen, Nude, Olive Green, Pear White, or White
Stamp: Butterflies, Forest, Garden Wreath, Lace, Peony, Rosemary, or Seashell
To order: add this item to your cart in your desired quantity. You will select your wax seal color and stamp on the customization questionnaire that we’ll send you after you place the order.
Note: this upgrade does not include assembly. You will need to apply the wax seals to your envelopes using the peel-and-stick method.
Note: adding wax seals to your envelopes may require additional postage to mail. We always recommend having one full set weighed and measured at your local post office to confirm you have the correct amount of postage before mailing your invitations or Save the Dates.
Because each wax seal is individually poured and stamped by hand, there may be slight variations in the shape and size of the wax seals.
Letterpress printing is one of the best ways to set your wedding invitations or Save the Dates apart from the rest. Letterpress is an antique printing method which uses a plate, specially created with your design, to (literally) press the design into paper, creating a deep impression. This is a manual printing method - each individual card is pressed by hand in our studio using an antique letterpress machine.
Most ink colors can be printed with this method.
Options: Save the Date card only, Main Invitation card only, or all cards in your invitation order (Main Invitation card, Details card, and RSVP card)
We recommend upgrading to double-thick cardstock to really take advantage of the dimensional effect that letterpress creates
Not available for black wedding invitations or black save the dates

Envelope address printing will not only save you valuable time but also ensures a cohesive appearance for your envelopes that complements your invitation suite inside. You’ll provide your guest addresses in a spreadsheet, and we’ll take care of the rest.

We will print your addresses exactly as you provide them, so please double-check all addresses for spelling and accuracy before submitting your completed spreadsheet.
If you select color ink printing, we will gather your desired ink color on the customization form we send you after you place the order.
Address fonts and layout will match that of your chosen Invitation or Save the Date suite
The most tactile way to upgrade your stationery, double-thick cardstock is just that - extra thick. You’ll be upgrading from our house cardstock of #118 cotton to 236# cotton. For invitation designs printed on black cardstock, you’ll be upgrading from our house 100# cardstock to 200# cardstock.
This upgrade looks great with all three of our print methods, but is especially recommended if selecting letterpress or foil press printing methods.
This upgrade can be applied to Save the Date Cards or Invitation Cards. *
