Custom Vs. DIY Invitations:
Which Path is Right for You?
Your invitations should reflect more than just a date and time—they should reflect you. Whether you’re dreaming of a full-service experience with every detail handled or want a hands-on, design-loving approach with beautiful guidance, there’s a path that fits.
Let’s help you find it.
Which sounds more like you?
Custom Invitations
“I want someone to handle every last detail so I can relax.”
“I want luxury-level printing and embellishments no one else has.”
“I’d rather invest in ease and personalization than DIY.”
DIY-Luxe Invitations
“I don’t have the bandwidth for a months-long design process.”
“I’d love to style, assemble, and mail on my own schedule.”
“I want beautiful, designer-quality materials with upfront pricing.”
THE FULL-SERVICE EXPERIENCE
Custom Wedding Invitations
Custom Design is ideal for couples who want:
A completely bespoke suite, designed from scratch
Personal attention and expert guidance at every stage
Fine art printing like letterpress and foil
Luxury touches such as calligraphy, wax seals, silk ribbon—or something entirely unique
Unlimited revisions
Full assembly, addressing, and mailing services
"This is for the couple who wants to feel taken care of—and send something that guests will remember long after the wedding."
Average Investment: Most couples invest $6,000+ on their custom suite, often choosing elevated printing, handwritten calligraphy, and carefully curated embellishments.
THE HANDS-ON OPTION
DIY Wedding Invitations
The DIY-Luxe Invitation Box is perfect for couples who:
Don’t have the time (or mental bandwidth) for a months-long custom process
Want designer-level materials with upfront pricing
Prefer to style, assemble, and mail on their own schedule
Still want curated details like wax seals, envelope liners, and ribbons
Each box includes:
A pre-designed wedding invitation suite of your choice
Two rounds of wording revisions (additional edits available if needed)
Personalized wording and colors
A styling guide with assembly tips and etiquette
Option to purchase a Suite Styling Kit with samples of paper, print methods, and embellishments before you commit
"This is for the bride who wants to do it herself—but do it beautifully."
Budget-Friendly Flexibility: Choose your suite, select your embellishments, and create a beautiful experience that fits your budget.
Still unsure?
Every couple is different—and both paths lead to something beautiful. If you’re not sure which direction is right for you, let’s talk it through together.
Always spell out full words in addresses—“Street” instead of “St.” and “Avenue” instead of “Ave.” It gives your envelopes a formal, timeless polish.
