Q – How far in advance should I place my order & when should I mail them out?
We work with a limited number of clients each month, so we recommend that you begin the order process as early as possible to ensure availability in our calendar and that your invitations are ready in plenty of time. Timelines depend on your selected service, embellishments, and printing methods:
For Custom Orders
The entire process usually takes between 8-10 weeks from the initial inquiry to the time that your custom designs will be ready to ship.
Mail out:
Save the Date – 6 to 8 months prior to your wedding date
Wedding Invitation – 2 months prior to your wedding date
Destination Weddings – 4 months prior to your wedding date
Add additional time if you do not send out save the dates.
For Semi-Custom Orders
All orders from our Semi-Custom Collections take approximately 5 to 6 weeks depending on the print method and embellishments added. We recommend that you begin the order process as early as possible to ensure that your invitations are ready in plenty of time.

We highly recommend taking a completed suite to your local post office to verify postage needed.

Due to the custom nature of our services, we do not allow returns or exchanges. For cancellation policy, please refer to the terms of the contract.

Q – Do you offer stationery design for baby/bridal showers or other events?
Of course! Feel free to inquire about any stationery ideas you want to see become reality.
Q – What is the difference between a custom and a semi-custom invitation?
Custom invitations mean your invitations are designed specifically for you and branded specifically for your wedding. Each and every element is tailored to you as a couple ensuring that not only will your suite be completely unique, but that it will also provide your invited guests with a sneak peek of your wedding day. We make sure to use premium paper types, high end printing methods while offering personalized white-glove customer service and a true personalized experience with dedicated attention to you to oversee the entire process from inquiry to delivery.
A semi-custom suite is pre-designed. However, we still want to make it yours. You will be able to choose from different papers & envelopes, paper & ink color, add-on embellishments and more. This allows you to add a custom touch to these suites ensuring they represent your wedding brand.
Q – What if I want a paper, embellishment, or add-on that I don’t see?
The number of options can be staggering. For example, we have an entire bookcase filled with different types of paper samples from different mills and suppliers. It is impossible to list everything in one place. Send us an email, chat with us, or ask during your inquiry and we will be happy to try to find what you are looking for.
