Birthday parties are important affairs in most families, and as a result they have become something of a gold mine for some of the most unlikely businesses. Bowling alleys, pottery shops, gymnastics centers, pizza places, recreation centers often have party rooms designated for kids' birthdays. Parents go to great lengths to give their children the perfect birthday memories. Adults get their share of the parties, too, especially when reaching "milestone" birthdays (though they may not often want to celebrate at the local gymnastics center).

All great birthday parties start with an eye catching invitation to set the tone and convey all the necessary information. Birthday invitations are fun to dream up and fun to receive. The more imaginative, the better! While it might be easier to hit the local stationary shop for a pack of ready made invitations, those who wish to make a real impression will work with a printer to design the perfect card for such a special occasion.

While it may be difficult to locate someone who still does it, letterpress printing is the most elegant style available. Few people practice it these days, as it is largely a hands on process little changed since the Renaissance. The difference between letterpress and modern printing is immediately visible. "Lush" and "gorgeous" are not overgenerous terms for this handsome style of printing.

There are any number of ways to customize letterpress cards. Scrolling borders and old-fashioned motifs are available. In addition, colorful ribbons or clever pockets may be added for even further decoration. You can make your invitations truly unique.

Cards for any important social occasion look more distinctive when created in letterpress. From baby announcement to retirements to wedding invitations, this printing process creates a great first impression.
