The Collection Guide
Designing your wedding invitations can be an exciting yet overwhelming decision! My goal is to help make the process as seamless and as easy to manage as possible!
Our Semi-Custom Collection offers a range of thoughtfully designed invitation suites. The Collection Guide will help you navigate our Semi-Custom Collection process and customization options. We encourage you to read and refer to this guide while preparing to submit your invitation order.
01. Select your Suite
Our curated collection of suites offer diverse designs to set the tone for your wedding. Select the suite design that speaks to your aesthetic and vision for your wedding day. Each suite can be customized with paper, printing, ink, and envelope colors.
Our Process
02. Order your Suite
Once you have selected your suite and package, you can check out and submit a 50% retainer. You’ll receive a welcome email with next steps and a short questionnaire to capture all the important information for your suite and your wedding day!
03. Design & Proofing
Within 4-5 business days, I will be in touch with your first design draft, featuring your custom selections. Your order includes 2 complimentary rounds of revisions to fine-tune your suite until it is exactly the way you envisioned.
04. Production
You’ll approve your suite, once your design is perfect, and submit your final payment. Printing begins after approval, followed by a thorough quality check, and finally, you suite is packed and shipped to you for assembly!
Paper Types
Paper Weight
Select between single ply, 120 pound paper, or double ply, 240 pound paper. While your paper weight is a personal preference, I love upgrading the main invitation to double ply for a more luxurious experience.
Paper Color
Select between white or ivory for your paper color. White is a bright white and ivory is a softer off-white without yellow undertones. I recommend ordering a sample pack if you are unsure which paper color to choose.
Digital
Digital printing, also known as flat printing, applies ink directly to the paper. The result is a smooth and seamless print.
Printing Methods
Letterpress
Letterpress printing, is done by creating a plate of your design and pressing matte ink into the paper, leaving an impressed look.
Foil
Foil printing is the process of using metallic foil. Heat and pressure is applied onto the metal plate leaving an impression on the paper
Envelope Colors
Personalize your wedding invitations with our Euro flap envelopes, available in a variety of colors to coordinate with your unique color scheme.

It is recommend to mail your save the dates 6-8 months in advance of the wedding. If you are having a destination wedding or the majority of your guests need to travel, I would advise sending your save the dates 10-12 months in advance.
You can place your digitally printed orders about a month before you need them in-hand. If you order letterpress or foil printing, place the order at least two months before you need them in hand.
You can always purchase your save the dates or invitations early. I will hold my schedule for you and help you with timeline management!

Many of our couples send invitations 8-12 weeks in advance. You should always consider guests needing to book travel, and your final head count or meal choice date for the venue and caterer.
