Hi Naomi! The cursive is not a font, it is calligraphy by hand. The text is in Poor Richard.

This is possibly my favorite thing ever. EVER. I’ve never seen a more lovely invitation idea!

Beautiful, and so creative!

Elizabeth, I’ll add to the reasons why Gocco is cool; you can also add embossing powder just after printing with the Gocco, which creates a thermography-like effect.

These are so great. They are worth all of the blog, sweat, and tears for sure. And they’ll be wonderful momentos for your female guests to reuse. Very original, indeed.

hey elizabeth! OK. the gocco is great for printing IMO for three reasons:
1) it can print metallic, white, etc, which you can’t do from your normal printer. i’ve used the metallic (you can see the gold above) and it’s awesome!.
2) the printing quality is slightly vintagey, it’s got a little bleed (in a good way).
3) and this is the most important, the color is true and clear.

you know how when you print something on your inkjet or laser and the black isn’t *quite* black? and it’s kind of faded? gocco is true dark beautiful black.

as an extra added bonus, it can print on things your printer can’t. like coasters and tins and favor boxes, and etc etc etc. :)

i hope this helps!

I’ve been wondering for a while, and I suspect that you are the perfect person to ask, since you’ve used both for your invitations – How is the end result of gocco different from just printing it out on the printer? I have seen so many people rave about the greatness of gocco, and at first, I was really excited and thought I needed one Right Now. Then I thought about it, and I wonder what makes it superior? Especialy since (As far as I know) I’ve never actually seen the results of gocco’ing in person – only on blogs. Thoughts?

These are so amazing and beautiful! I would be so excited to receive a package like this in the mail. How much does postage cost?
