We at D & J drink coffee - lots and LOTS of coffee. And we got to thinking, why not give something back to our local coffee joint? As we started thinking about expanding into new materials, we did a test run of coffee koozies for our the nearby Round Table Coffee Works. Now the locally-roasted fresh brew looks as good as it tastes :) Keep a lookout for us - we might be around your favorite coffee cup, next!
Public Gardens is perfectly playful and charming in every way! We think it is a perfect match for any of your upcoming spring and summer celebrations. Contact us today for more information or a personalized quote.
We wrapped up these amazing invitations recently and still can't get over them. Our Hollywood design really shines with this combo of gold foil and fuchsia ink. Dick and Jane offers very competitive foil pricing, inquire for more info!
Why not? The varnish on the background impression always has such a cool effect. Thanks for visiting the letterpress blog!
Katie Evans has been involved here at Dick and Jane for years. She started as an intern helping out with all sorts of projects as she finished school. Katie has since gone on to work with a number of other companies offering her unique design/illustration style across the Twin Cities. You can check out her work at hellokatieevans.com
We recently commissioned Katie to help us create this totally jaw dropping letterpress invitation design. Every letter, every line, completely hand drawn by Katie. We're calling it "Love Blooms Eternal". The design was released at the October TCBA Wedding Show in Minneapolis receiving a wealth of positive feedback. We've since begun the fall/winter process of working on a collection of new designs for the Spring season. Katie will be creating at least 2-3 more illustrations in her one-of-a-kind style. Each of Katie's designs (including Love Blooms Eternal) are being added to the collection line up. Clients simply submit their text and Katie illustrates the entire piece. 100% hand drawn, hand lettered, and 100% guaranteed to knock peoples socks off!
Stay tuned. We will post a lot more info on the upcoming designs as we get them wrapped up. Thanks for visiting the letterpress blog!

We are very excited to announce that Dick and Jane Letterpress has been featured in the seasons issue of Mpls St Paul Magazine's Wedding edition in an article titled "Letter Perfect."

Many thanks and appreciation to the MSPL Magazine for thinking to include us in their publication. Enjoy!
Erin came to us a few months back with a love for whimsical eclectic letterpress wedding invitations. More importantly, she required lots of pointy fingers. Her exact quote was “the more pointy fingers, the better”, and we couldn’t agree more! This invite suite incorporates seven different typestyles along with all sorts of fun quirky embellishments. Much love and appreciation to Erin and Nick for having such an amazing sense of cool. Dick and Jane Letterpress will soon be releasing an altered version to our wedding collection. xoxo - DJL
Kari Jacobsen visited Dick and Jane Letterpress with lots of great ideas in need of a little interpretation. We quickly settled on this unique double border letterpress wedding invitation. Note the line and dot pinstripe and the detailed embellishments surrounding the bride and grooms names. Elegant and simple, the design takes a simple typographic approach and pairs it with detailed illustrations (note the tiny crown). It is contemporary, eclectic, and fresh. Much appreciation to Kari for her unique vision.

Our new wedding invite showcases a whimsical, light design inspired by the “river town”, Baton Rouge. Romantic, elegant, and composed, our design is a reference to the Victorian-style architecture so well known in Baton Rouge. The script in the center of the letterpress design imitates the illustrated borders with its varying line width and calligraphic properties. Classical and soft, perfect for any wedding.
Dick and Jane Letterpress offers the nations most affordable letterpress printing. Our up-front, no-hassle pricing offers brides a quick and easy browsing/shopping experience. Select your favorite design, view our prices, get a quote... it's that simple! Here are a few general rules of thumb when considering all the different sizes.
1. An A7 is the most common size for Wedding Invitations. 2. An A1 is the most common size for your rsvp. 3. While an RSVP postcard is definitely super cool - it can often be more expensive than a standard A1 and envelope because a postcard usually requires printing on both sides. 4. Can you switch up sizes for something more outside the norm... ABSOLUTELY. Just be sure to consider envelope size restrictions. 5. Accompanying cards can come in any size you want. It all depends on how much info you want to fit.
Dick and Jane Letterpress wishes you all a great wedding day!
Spring is coming! Inquiries are starting to ramp up as the snow melts. Dick and Jane Letterpress has been busy working through the new year and into the wedding season. We've produced a number of birth announcements and location wedding invitations. Save-the dates have also been quite popular in the last months. We've been so busy in fact that we have somewhat neglected our letterpress blog maintenance. Many apologies for that. We are getting back to the task of regularly updating things so be sure to check back often for new designs and affordable letterpress wedding invitations. xo - DJL
The perfect addition to the letterpress blog. These letterpress wedding invitations are one of our favorites of the year! The design and printing were commissioned by Bill and Moira for their February wedding. They had a birch and snow idea in mind. As it so happened, one of our designers had just been in the process of sketching up a birch tree design! We made a few revisions and incorporated a flurry of snow using the couples wedding colors. Custom designed by Dick and Jane Letterpress, these invitations turned out completely out of the world. Have a look!
