I am also interested in making my own wedding invitations. Can you send me photos of invitations you have done with the smaller font?

Also, it is possible to have 2 colors on the same line of print?

I tried using vegetable oil to clean my brayer and plates, and while that does work, it's very messy and it takes a LOT of scrubbing for everything to come clean. I have transitioned to using odorless mineral spirits -- that works really well. Yes, the plates are reusable. In fact, I have reused several of my plates over and over. For example, I designed a return address plate when I made my wedding invitations, and I have used that one many times for personal notecards, holiday cards, thank you notes, etc. The plates are very easy to store. Just save the thin blue backing that exposes the sticky part and replace it when you're done printing. Sometimes it's hard to get the backing lined up perfectly again, especially if you've cut out some intricate shapes from the plate, but I haven't had any problems at all with the plates becoming less sticky. I store the plates with the backing reattached in separate ziploc bags -- one bag for icons and ornament, one for greetings, one for names and monograms, etc. I hope this helps -- good luck and have fun! :) Hi, Gigi!

My best advice is to order your plates and get your supplies together early enough to give you plenty of time to do a few test runs. It may take you a try or two to get the hang of inking the brayer, inking your plate, etc. The hardest part for me has been mixing custom ink colors. I've never taken an art class and have zero education on color theory, so some attempts to make, say a gorgeous bright pink have not ended the way I wanted them to (result: pepto bismol). Good luck! Let me know if you have any other specific questions. :) Leah and Jolanta, I’m emailing you a photo.
