Jennifer at Romeo and Jules is a great designer using letter press designs on lovely paper with a bespoke finish.
I think she is the best i have come across

I did a recent set that included a 5x5" folded invite (4 pages, basically), rsvp card and thank you card; each piece was two-color letterpress (two-sided) and it was about $2,000. Stock: Somerset Natural.

Got my invites, which I designed, letterpressed a few months back (wedding is in two weeks!). We had printed a total of 220 invites (5x7) + 220 RSVP cards (1.5x3), 2 color, on Crane's Lettra pearl white to the tune of $1200.
Itinerary we printed (color laser) on vellum (also 5x7) and notched it to hold the RSVP card.
RSVP was all done online (saved a ton of postage) using a little web application I built for the occasion.

ReichPaper have this line called Savoy. I've used it on several pieces from engravings to letterpress and personally I think it is nicer than Cranes Lettra. It's also cheaper too!

Don't hire your friend for designing wedding invites. She will hate them forever. Fire them and tell you to do it.

What's a ‘mean’ budget for half-decent wedding invites?
^
stupid question- printing and paper alone can range from $500 and up depending on quantity and printing type.capn_ron
- offset, 2 colors with good paper is at least $500. now, letterpress on good paper starts at upwards of $1500capn_ron
- I managed to get x100 offset 4-colour for just over £100. Really difficult gettign a decent budget out of friendsFax_Benson
- well, my friends anyway.Fax_Benson
- Thanks, I've always assumed a bit of a premium.. but have found people being surprised at the price of laser-cutting optionsdetritus
- ..even though I offer competitive rates and even lowballed a couple, just to see what happened.detritus

I've got 2 or 3 to design this summer for friends and bumped into this blog whilst looking for inspiration. Most of it is tredinly twee, but thought it might be useful. Anybody got any other links?
