Custom Design begins at $3,500, with most couples investing between $4,000 and $6,000 depending on quantity, printing method, custom artwork, paper, and finishing details.

Your initial proposal is created based on your estimated guest count, printing preferences, and the overall scope of your suite. During the design process, we’ll refine the details together and finalize pricing once your design direction, quantities, and finishing choices are confirmed.

We recommend booking Custom Design 9–11 months before your wedding, with the design process typically beginning around 6–7 months before the wedding date.

For save the dates, we recommend getting started about one year in advance whenever possible.

You do not need to come to us with every detail figured out.

You can bring a full vision, a few inspiration images, or simply tell us what you love about your wedding so far. We’ll help shape the creative direction and guide you through typography, color, artwork, printing, paper, and finishing details as your suite comes together.

That is completely normal.

Your initial proposal is based on the information you have at the time, including your estimated guest count and printing preferences. During the design phase, we’ll confirm your final quantities, pieces, printing methods, artwork, and finishing details before your suite moves into production.

Your final investment reflects the suite you ultimately choose to create.

For us, Custom Design is about more than designing an invitation.

We work closely with you to make sure your stationery feels connected to the entire wedding: your venue, florals, colors, fashion, tablescape, signage, and the overall atmosphere you are creating.

The goal is to build a cohesive visual direction that can begin with your invitation suite and continue through the wedding day with menus, programs, escort cards, signage, matchbooks, napkins, cups, and other celebration details.

Your stationery becomes part of the overall event design rather than a separate piece of it.

Custom suites can be created using digital printing, letterpress, foil, or a combination of printing methods.

We’ll recommend the paper and printing approach that best supports your design, overall aesthetic, and investment.
