Ordering Wedding Invitations

You can select the ink colors and for many designs, you can change the images. View our Customizing page for these options. You can also combine elements from different suites. If you prefer the font style of one design but the imagery of another, we can combine them.

The designs in our collection can be customized as noted above. However, if you are looking for a very different style invitation or you don’t see any examples or images you like, your project may fall into a more bespoke pricing category. Please note that the design process for bespoke stationery is more involved so it will take longer to produce and there are additional charges to cover custom design, image sourcing and various other individual processes.

The sooner the better! As soon as you have confirmed the date, time, location and have selected a design, please reach out! We recommend beginning the design process at least 8 weeks before you’d like to mail your invitations. In general, the more time you have to work through this process, the more you will enjoy it!

Depending on our schedule, we can occasionally accommodate rush orders. The fee for this is an additional 25% (of the total suite price).

Your client portal includes a pdf to walk you through each piece in a suite so you can determine whether you need it and how to phrase the wording. When we start working together, we’ll give you a form to fill in with your wording and this helps walk you through the components in a typical suite so you can decide which you need. If you’re unsure of where to put some information or how to phrase something on a card, we’re happy to help.

We‘ll print your return address on the flap of your invitation envelope. If you would like to have your guests’ addresses written on the envelopes, we can recommend a calligrapher. If you prefer digitally printing your guests names and addresses, we’ll connect you with a business that does this and in your portal, you can download their spreadsheet for formatting your guest list. We’d mail the envelopes directly there when the time comes.

Envelope addressing typically takes a couple of weeks. You will want to keep this in mind when ordering.

Your client portal will have a color guide showing the options for envelopes and liners. We can help you choose a colored envelope that corresponds with your ink color or overall color theme. The cost is roughly 30% higher as we’re buying smaller quantities and having them shipped. For the invitation cards, we typically recommend that you use one of our Savoy papers that we keep in stock. This paper is made specifically for letterpress printing and takes the impression most beautifully.

Once we understand your invitation style, colors and the components in the suite, we can recommend the embellishments that will complement the design. You’ll have a style guide in your client portal showing these options and links to images. Our cotton paper has a beautiful surface and the debossed letterpress impression is so special that you won’t need to add too many extra decorative elements to make the suite special. Sometimes the simplest designs in letterpress are the most elegant. We'll be working closely with you and we can recommend elements like these when the time comes, if you're interested.
