    So Ali’s blog sent me to your etsy shop, where I poked around, saw the awesome letter press prints and the great song and dance flat print – which I love but I’m wondering if you might make a letter press version. I’d love to buy two. I know how busy wedding planning is (congratulations!) but if you have a moment to send an email I’d be most appreciative.
    Love the book btw…one of those things that makes me wish I could retire early so I could have time to play more. Alas I’ve got a quarter of a century to go.
    Best Ellen.

    hi Emily,
    Thank you.
    I have not seen the semi-transparent envelopes online. I bought them at the GT paper source. You could try a google search for “colored vellum envelopes.”
    Yes, the string is just embroidery floss.

    Hi Ellen,
    I have thought about doing a letterpress version and I have not ruled it out. I lay type by hand so the production time and cost would be high. But I will still consider it. I am so glad you are interested!
    Thanks for your sweet words!
