WEDDINGS & SOCIAL
"As someone who’s worked in design and print production for over 10 years, I’ve always looked forward to creating my own wedding invitations—and Old North State Press made the experience better than I ever imagined. Their craftsmanship and passion for letterpress are unmatched. Chris Paul was amazing to work with—friendly, responsive, and clearly passionate about what he does. He helped bring my vision to life while staying on budget and meeting a tight timeline. The final invitations were stunning—timeless, personal, and truly felt like me. I’m so grateful to have found Old North State Press and will recommend them to everyone I know. Looking forward to working with them again!".

"Old North State Press was an absolute lifesaver. I was in a serious time crunch with my wedding invitations, and they came through in the best way. Chris was amazing help - super knowledgeable, kind, and genuinely wonderful through the whole process. He walked me through the options, helped color match the ink, and got everything printed and cut to size beautifully on the same day. My letterpress invites turned out better than I could’ve imagined, and I’ve already gotten a bunch of compliments on them. Honestly, I don’t know what I would’ve done without them. Highly recommend!"

“Chris designed and printed our wedding invitation and it was the best decision we have made for our wedding planning! The whole process working with him was smooth and stress free - which was super important for someone burdened by all the aspects of wedding planning.
When I first started looking at design ideas, there were so many to choose from and everything seemed it could look good but at the same not quite what I was looking for. All I knew was I wanted something blue and classy (fun theme like Great Gatsby) and Chris helped refine the vision which resulted in the beautiful design I've ever seen - clean, intricate, and sophisticated. As a personal touch, he even mixed a custom blue hue just for us - something you can't find in any printing store!
We also loved that he used the traditional method of printing press, so you feel the impression of the words and lines of the design and the premium texture of the cotton-paper. In fact, when we sent our invites - most guests noticed and commented on the quality of the invite. Years later, this is still a memorable story for many of our guests - that they felt the starting point of our wedding was when they received the invite.
Perhaps the most surprising thing was all the craftsmanship, design, vision came within our budget (which we felt was more than reasonable). Having someone who can articulate what was in my mind and transform it into the physical invite was priceless. We couldn't be happier with the result and Chris is the most genuine, most creative, and most caring artist we have ever known! You can feel he absolutely loves what he does, and he will pour his heart into the project!”

“Old North State Press created custom invitations for two of my daughters and their weddings. After my first daughter's experience, we couldn't imagine partnering with anyone else for wedding number two! Chris is a craftsman who pours himself into his craft. He's detail oriented and eager to please. Plus he's a genuinely nice person. In the end, there was no drama, no missed expectations, no miscommunications, just execution on time as promised and a result that was beautiful and unique. Couldn't recommend anyone more strongly.”
SCOTT B. (Raleigh, NC)
"We used Old North State Press for our wedding announcements, and loved them so much we immediately thought of Chris for our son's customized high school graduation announcements. Chris went the extra mile, from requesting permission to use the official college logo, to making sure he matched the exact university colors! Our announcements were personalized and fun and the quality is far superior to any announcement you would order on line for a very fair price."

On top of that, their responsiveness has been unmatched. No matter how fast the turnaround or how nuanced the request, they delivered with excellence every time.
If you want a partner who will treat your project like it is their own and help you elevate your vision to the next level, Old North State Press is it. I cannot recommend them enough.”

“I am a designer working on the branding for an interesting local business in Raleigh, NC. Old North State Press did multiple jobs for this project — all of them were top-notch! I would recommend them to anyone who wants a high-quality print/design, something very tactile, and something that has a personal touch.”
