Congratulations on your engagement! I know wedding planning can be a little overwhelming, but I'm here to provide you with expert guidance through every step of the custom invitation experience—from the first design concept to preparing your invitation suites for the mail—and everything in between. Throughout our time together we will discuss mailing timelines, paper options, printing methods, wording, guest addressing etiquette, embellishments, and more!

Once I receive your inquiry form or email, we will set up a convenient time to connect so that we can learn more about each other and discuss your wedding style and budget. This is a no-strings-attached conversation that will allow us to confirm that we are a good match.

I will provide a custom quote based on your unique invitation needs and budget. Your quote will also include any embellishments that you have requested. Embellishments may also be recommended during the design process as we refine the design of your invitation suite. I kindly ask for a signed contractual agreement and a 50% non-refundable retainer in order to proceed.

You and your fiancé(e) will complete a detailed questionnaire and your responses will guide the overall wording and aesthetic of your custom invitation suite. Every aspect of your design will be tailored specifically to your preferences and inspired by your wedding vision. You will receive a digital proof and three complimentary revisions to ensure that you are completely happy with your design.

Assembly can be provided as an optional (and gladly accepted!) service. Your cards will be stacked, embellishments will be added, and envelopes will be sealed. Then, your fully assembled invitations will be shipped to you by the date determined in our timeline. Because wedding invitations are precious and often bulkier than regular mail, I will provide you with mailing guidance to aid in a smooth delivery to your guests. Lastly, we will shift our focus and finalize your wedding day paper as you excitedly wait for your RSVPs to arrive!

After you approve your design and submit your final payment, your invitations will be sent to print and brought to life. The printing process takes between two and four weeks, depending on your chosen printing method.

GETTING STARTED

Custom invitations have a 10-12 week turnaround time from the beginning of design to the time your invitations are shipped. I recommend inquiring about your invitation needs and reserving your place on my calendar a minimum of six months in advance of your wedding. I work with a limited number of custom invitation clients per year so that I can offer each couple an exclusive collaboration and unparalleled creativity. This client-centered approach allows me to commit my full attention to every detail of your invitation suite.
