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 1...50. 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!
