When it comes to reaching out... the sooner, the better. For save the dates, we’d want to get started about 13-16 months prior to your wedding date. For invitations, we should begin at least 8 months out. While it’s not a requirement, it is helpful to have your venue booked, your color palette selected, and some of your details decided prior to beginning your stationery process. That way, we will have an aesthetic to work with and information to include.

I wish there was a simple answer for this. But the truth is: custom design means custom pricing. Things like quantity, print process (digital, letterpress, foil, etc.), embellishments (belly bands, wax seals, etc.), and design complexity all affect pricing. I can’t give you an exact price prior to a consultation, but I can tell you that most APD couples spend an average of $3,500-$6,000 on their wedding stationery overall, and custom invitation suites start at $1,500.

ABSOLUTELY! I’d be honored. Of all areas of design, I chose to be a wedding stationery designer because I love love and believe it should be celebrated no matter your sexual preference, your skin color, how you identify, what you believe, or how you envision your “perfect” wedding. Don’t ever be afraid to reach out to me. I have no tolerance for exclusion and hate, and you’ll get nothing but love over here 🖤 

When I work with a couple on their invitations, we explore and select their perfect fonts, color palette, and design style. Their invitations truly set the tone for the rest of their wedding stationery, including any day-of items. When the invitations were created elsewhere and I’m asked to create day-of items based on someone else’s design, I’m no longer helping to create the couple’s wedding aesthetic. Instead, I’m limited to the fonts and design style already in place in order to maintain a cohesive look between the invitations and the day-of items. As a professional designer, it’s important to me that I work with a couple the entire way through their wedding stationery process. For this reason, I no longer provide design services for day-of items to couples whose invitations I did not create.

"Day-of stationery" refers to anything stationery-related for your wedding day. This includes escort/place cards, menus, ceremony programs, seating charts, signage, printed fabric signage, table numbers, hotel bag inserts, cocktail napkins, and matchboxes. If you're interested in something not listed here, feel free to reach out. I love discussing unique ideas!

It's up to you! Some people like the experience of assembling and mailing their invitations -- especially because they get to see them IRL before they go out to their loved ones. Others prefer to have the post-design labor done for them. Because everyone's preferences are different, I offer both options. I can ship everything to you for you to handle, or you can opt for my Sealing + Mailing Service, where I assemble, stuff, seal, and mail everything out to your guests. Any extras would then be shipped to you. I include this service as an option in every proposal under the "Add-Ons" section.
