How to feels to have everything
managed from save-the-dates to thank-you notes

01/
Discovery Call

We start with a conversation about your wedding — your venue, your date, your style, what matters most to you.

Timeline: as soon as you’re ready.

The Design Edit

After our first conversation, I send you The Design Edit — three fully realized design directions built around your wedding. Different aesthetics, different price points, different feels. You choose the one that's yours, or we take it somewhere new from there.

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

Addressing & Delivery

Calligraphy envelopes, vintage stamps, all curated with special easter eggs for your guests.

What to Expect

We start with a conversation. Then I get to work.

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. All of it.

From your first email to the day your invitations land in mailboxes, the full process is typically six to eight months.

Everything has been leading here. Your guests have their invitations. You have everything handled. All that's left is to enjoy every moment.
