We believe that a thoughtfully sent invitation found amid the clutter of daily mail marks a moment of pause in this hurried pace of life. It creates an opportunity to gift someone a moment of delight—of anticipation, of excitement—as you mark the beginning of the joyous occasion of your marriage.
Let us help you begin your celebration.
The custom design process has four steps and typically begins six to nine months before your wedding date.

Estimated time:
1 WEEK
LEARN | Here’s where things start. We meet (online or in person) and discuss your stationery needs, style, overall vision, and budget. We go through our swatch books and portfolio of previous work so you can visualize the possibilities for creating your custom suite. A quote outlining your options is then prepared for you, and if you say “Yes!”, we collect a 50% deposit and begin the next phase, designing.

Estimated time:
2+ WEEKS
DESIGN | We want to know what mood-vibe-look you’re going for. So, we ask you to provide a couple of inspiration images that express your vision. We gather these images, along with the copy, and get to work. We produce two to three separate design mock-ups for you to consider. Based on your feedback, we refine the chosen design up to three times until it’s perfect.
Estimated time depends on promptness of feedback, as well as additional time required to source unique materials for custom elements.

APPROVE | We present you with the final design proof for sign-off. At this point, we stress the importance of reviewing spelling, grammar, punctuation and event information, and ask that you review the chosen design carefully (it helps to have someone not involved in the process lend a pair of eyes). Your approval at this stage finalizes the design for production, and we collect the final balance at this point.

2+ WEEKS
CREATE | Start the presses! We now begin the production phase of your stationery, by ordering any special materials and commencing the printing. All printing, production and assembly is taken care of by us. Once your stationery is ready, we deliver the stationery to you or directly to your guests, so you can focus on getting back to other wedding tasks.
Estimated time depends on quantity ordered, assembly requirements and any finishing elements such as envelope addressing. More complex pieces require more time.
