The
Design Reveal
This is where your suite starts to take shape. We'll work through font pairings, color palettes, print methods, and any custom details that make your invitations feel entirely yours.
You'll see life-like mockups along the way — nothing goes to print until it feels exactly right.
TIMELINE: Once you’ve selected your path from The Design Edit.

Production & Assembly
Once your suite is approved, I take care of the rest. I oversee printing, manage quality control, assemble each suite, address your envelopes, and prepare everything for mailing.
No coordinating with printers. No sourcing ribbons. No evenings spent at the kitchen table addressing envelopes. It's handled.
TIMELINE: 4–6 WEEKS
Design takes four to eight weeks — font pairings, paper choices, print methods, proofing until everything is right. Once you approve the final suite, I handle the rest. Printing, assembly, calligraphy addressing, mailing.
Timeline: 4-8 weeks depending upon scope of suite

Everything you need
to know for
Your Invitation Compass — three personalized design directions built entirely around your wedding — arrives within one week of your discovery call. The sooner we connect, the more time we have to make it extraordinary.
Design typically spans several weeks of collaboration — font pairings, paper choices, print methods, life-like mockups, and proofing until everything feels exactly right.
Request replies 4–6 weeks before the wedding so you and your vendors have time to finalize seating, catering counts, and any last details.
Everything has been leading here. Your guests have their invitations. You have everything handled. All that's left is to enjoy every moment.
How long the process takes
The full custom invitation experience typically spans 6–8 months from your first conversation to the mailbox.
The earlier you reach out, the more creative flexibility we have. Most couples find that starting sooner than they expected leads to the work they love most.
