Invitations
Custom invitations are designed for your special love story *cue Taylor Swift*.
First impressions matter; save the dates and invitations give your guests the first glimpses into what to expect at your wedding and give them the first “wow” to your wedding. Every couple has a different story to tell and I want to help tell your story through invitation designs. Invitations can be as simple and elegant like a letterpress suite or as big and grand like an invitation poster. I believe your guests deserve to not only have a beautiful invitation suite but to also have an experience while opening your invitation suite.
Please keep in mind that custom designs take anywhere from 9–12 weeks to complete (starting from when the contract and non-refundable retainer are completed and ending with final invitations shipped to you). If you need something sooner, check out the semi-custom invitations or reach out immediately and we can figure something out.
Design inspiration can come from anywhere and I want to hear it all.
Where and how did you meet? The proposal story.
Any special motifs?
Any pets?
Interests? Love to travel? Love for food?
Specific colors or florals in mind?
Loves and dislikes with wedding trends
With these small and big details in mind, I design an invitation suite that reflects you as a couple.
I specialize in calligraphy and custom graphic elements such as…
envelope addressing calligraphy
monograms
custom wax seals
venue sketches
map illustrations
iconography and illustrations
floral illustrations and custom patterns
block printing
Included with custom invitation orders:
Concept sketches
Design, proof, and review process
Recommendation for invitation add ons (ie: wax seals, ribbons, vintage stamps, envelope liners, etc)
Knowledge of paper choices, print options, etc
Unlimited round of revisions and 1 design overhaul
Digital mock up of final invitation design before we send it to print
Full suite assembly and adding stamps
RSVP cards: writing in seats reserved for each guests and numbering the backs of each RSVP card
Invitations arrive to you assembled, stamped, envelopes stuffed. All you need to do is seal the envelopes and take them to USPS
