Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between custom & semi-custom?

My goal in all I create is to make the wedding stationery process stress-free, and part of that is offering invitation suites at several different price points, to serve any bride's budget.

Semi-custom invitations are a lower price point and quicker turnaround, as the design of each paper invitation is already created. We update to wording to all your details, assemble each suite, and send them off in a jiffy.

The custom process is more time-intensive and has a few different package prices. These stationery suites are fully one-of-a-kind, with hand-painted illustrations and design, custom lettering, and full luxury embellishments. You can inquire here to book fully custom invitations, as well as to browse my portfolio.

How much are invitations, add-ons, save the dates, etc?

This varies between fully custom and semi-custom invitations:

For custom invitations, the minimum investment for custom wedding invitations is $3,800 for a 5-piece invitation suite, which includes hand-painted artwork, professional grade materials, unlimited revisions, and full assembly & mailing. My average custom wedding client invests $6,000 in their custom Save the Dates, wedding invitation suite, and day-of stationery. You can book your invitations here.

For semi-custom invitations, pricing and details are all online, listed in each product description! This is also how you can book your suite. Browse through my collection of semi-custom suites to find a design you love. Click on the item you wish to purchase, then choose your options from the dropdown menu. Pricing will update at the top of the listing.

What is the turnaround time for wedding invitations?

Turnaround time largely depends on how quickly you approve your proofs.

For semi-custom: After all your proofs are approved, allow up to three to four weeks for production of a suite that includes embellishments and assembly.

For fully custom: You will receive three design rounds, after which each revision usually entails two weeks of painting/designing. With more design time and assembly time, I recommend booking fully custom at least 6-8 months out.

When should I order my wedding invitations?

Book semi-custom stationery at least two months before you need them in hand. This allows time for design, proofing, printing, and shipping.

Book custom stationery at least 6-8 months before your wedding date. This allows time for the fully custom design process, as well as printing and assembly.

Is full assembly of wedding invitations included?

For semi-custom, full assembly is an optional add-on you can include when you order your stationery, it is in included in the invitation suites. You can find the listing here to add on full assembly.

For custom clients, full assembly and mailing is included in every package. This allows your invitation suites to be executed flawlessly, without you even having to run to the post office or seal an envelope! Click here to inquire for custom stationery.

With every client, I make sure a keepsake suite is carefully packaged and delivered directly to you. This will include a copy for you as well as any photographers or videographers, to style your flat lays ahead of time.

Do you offer day-of wedding stationery?

For custom clients, I do offer any day-of details, from programs to menus to table numbers, and anything else you've been dreaming of. We'll design all day-of details after your invitations are already in the mail, on their way to your guests!

For semi-custom invitations, I do not offer day-of items! I'm working to offer some full day-of products like place cards, table numbers, etc. that will be available in the next couple months.

How many invitation suites do I need to order for my guest list?

Count by number of households, not by the number of guests invited.

Invitations are available in increments of 50, with a minimum of 50 prints.

So, if you only need 85 suites, I recommend ordering up to 100. This will give you extras in case additional guests are added or anything gets lost in the mail. Plus, it gives you extras to have photographed on your big day (we recommend bringing 2-3 copies for your photographer) and a few to have as keepsakes for yourself.

Can I order my invitations if I don't have all my information ready yet?

Absolutely! That's part of why I'm here: to help you put all the information together.

My calendar is booked on a first-come, first-serve basis, so if you want to reserve your spot in advance then you can definitely book before you have all details finalized. The only thing I’ll need from you upon ordering is your confirmed wedding date, to make sure we can complete everything in time.

Please keep in mind the design/proof process does not begin until we have all information from you, so this can delay the timeline. If you need semi-custom stationery in hand soon (within 6 weeks from the date of purchase), you must have all information ready at the time of booking.

Can I use my own wording on my invitations?

Of course! All wording is fully personalized to your liking with your wedding information and details. The layout of text remains the same to protect the integrity of the original design, but the wording is yours to customize.

If you would like guidance on etiquette and wording, I am available to help with that as well.
