Letterpress wedding keepsakes in St Paul, MN

Question:

Reverend Tomkin-

Hope this message finds you well.  I've heard of having wedding vows printed for framing.  Do you know someone who would be able to do this?  The vows are so beautiful that we would love to have the keepsake.

Looking forward to seeing you soon!

Answer: 

Good morning, OB,

Such a wonderful idea!  Brides have raved about the gorgeous letterpress printing services at the amazing Dick and Jane Letterpress of 2500 University Avenue, in St Paul, MN, 651-756-8990.  Letterpress printing is a term for the relief printing of text and image using a press with a  printing press and movable type, in which a reversed, raised surface hand-inked and then hand-pressed into a sheet of paper to obtain a positive right-reading image. I highly recommend this process for a beautiful image! I talked to Brian at Dick and Jane Letterpress, and they sent me the following e-mail:

• Thanks so much for the kind words. It was very nice to hear from you today. I've attached what I think might make a really simple yet sophisticated solution to the proposed vows. The layout plays on the delivery of each persons individual voice during the ceremony. Please have a look and let us know what you think. I included the lines "i do" but they could easily be removed at your request. These final dimensions are 6x9 which I think would frame quite nicely and hopefully pretty inexpensively.
  
  As for price, these types of projects can be tough to quote because you are really only looking for a single item as opposed to a standard minimum order of 50. Natalie and I looked over the final printed area and estimated we can print for a fee of $120.
  
  Please feel free to have a look over the design, consider the cost and let us know if you wish to move forward. Payment can be collected upon completion. Thank you so much for the opportunity to supply you with a quote. We wish everyone a wonderful wedding day.
  
  xoxo

Note to readers:  The following image has the names blacked out, and is reduced in size, but you can at least get hint of how it looks (The image looks so beautiful and classy when blown up to 6x9"!)
