Since I live in close proximity to Brooklyn--where you could probably spit out your window and, with a good cross-breeze, hit a letterpresser--I was dubious about finding one in Salt Lake City.
I was pleasantly surprised to find the guys at Athenaeum Press.
Peder went through about 1.2 gazillion design drafts with me, and he was so intense about getting the invites perfect that they had me down to the shop during production to make sure the shade of yellow and amount of ink were just so. Aside from being insanely customer service-oriented, their work is top-notch, their paper is gorgeous, the price is extremely affordable for authentic letterpress, and they are located in a cool little warehouse loftspace as all letterpresses should.

If you have need for invitations, announcements, just want to buy some cool cards and stationery-- I highly recommend Peder and Athenaeum. Here are some photos I snapped around the letterpress shop:

Thanks for the tip, Laner. Should I ever marry, or need to announce that I will never marry. I will use Peder. Who doesn't love a Pete who spells his name Scandia-old-school?
Hi Lane!
So, I actually have been looking at your blog -just didn't know it was you or that you were connected to Ali and Jamie Anne.
Thanks for coming for gelato -even though you were in the midst of wedding madness!
I talked to Natalie who was tres excited we met.. she said she always tells you that you remind her of me (and that we look kinda alike.) I take that as such a compliment.
Good luck with your wedding!

I second your motion...these guys are so so nice, have a sweet doggie that hangs out with them, and do amazing quality letterpress. Three cheers!
I love the photos you took. Makes me want to live and die in a letterpress studio. If I can bring Famous.
Thanks for all the compliments, guys. I appreciate it. I wanna also through out props to m'man Ben of The Mandate Press & Seraph Stationery. A lot of the things in that shot are his... glasses, invitations, dogs, etc.
Anyhoo. Thanks all. Long live letterpress.
Peder
