General FAQs

  • We make letterpress paper goods for every occasion worth marking, wedding invitations, business cards, personal stationery, letterhead, baby announcements, holiday cards, and more. Everything is designed just for you and pressed by hand, one sheet at a time. And if you happen to be in downtown McKinney, stop into Neighbor Books to find our retail collection and feel the work in person.

  • Getting started is simple. Reach out through our contact form. We’ll walk you through the next steps and answer any questions along the way.

  • Everything we make is designed by Carissa, a trained printmaker, and personally hand-pressed on our 1940s cast iron press, one sheet at a time. No templates, no digital shortcuts, no outsourced printing. The difference shows up the moment you hold it: letterpress presses ink deep into thick cotton paper in a way that digital printing simply can't replicate. You can feel every letter under your fingertips. If it isn't beautiful, it doesn't leave the studio.

  • We won't pretend letterpress is inexpensive. It's handmade, one sheet at a time, on an 80 year old iron press, and that kind of craft has a price. What we can promise is complete transparency. Every quote is tailored to your project and broken down clearly, with no hidden costs tucked in at the end. Tell us what you're dreaming of and we'll tell you honestly what it takes to make it beautifully.

  • Absolutely! We love to print for designers. Please email us at hello@heydaypress.com so we can look over the designs and make sure they’re print friendly.

Wedding FAQs

  • Your invitation is the first experience your guests have of your wedding before the flowers, before the venue, before the day itself. Letterpress sets that tone in a way nothing else can. Pressed by hand into thick cotton paper, it arrives with a weight and texture that tells people immediately that what follows has been chosen with care. These aren't invitations people recycle. They're the ones that end up framed, tucked into keepsake boxes, and pulled out years later.

  • Wedding invitations should be ordered 8-12 weeks before invitations need to be mailed.

  • Getting started is simple. Reach out through our contact form. We’ll walk you through the next steps and answer any questions along the way.

  • Plan to order 1 invitation per household. Also consider 5-10 extras for keepsakes and just in case you want to add to your guest list.

  • We are a letterpress studio. Everything we make is letterpressed.

  • 2 rounds of revisions are included with your invitations. Each round over 2 will cost and additional $75.

  • No two suites are alike here, every one is designed around your wedding and pressed by hand, start to finish. Our suites begin at $4,000, and most couples find their full suite, everything from save the dates to thank you cards, falls between $7,000 and $15,000. Whatever your vision, we'd love to help you bring it to life.
