WEDDING INVITATION QUESTIONS

The questions couples ask me most, from timing and etiquette to wording, printing, and keeping your
invitation for years to come.

  • Look for a designer who treats your invitation as an heirloom, not a template: someone who creates a fully custom design, listens for meaningful details, asks what matters most to you, and builds the process around your story. That's the heart of ElizaGrace Paperie, a boutique letterpress studio in Elk River, Minnesota, created for the bride who frames her wedding invitation. Terri takes a limited number of couples a year and works with couples nationwide.

Choosing a Designer

  • Not at all. Most couples come to me with a sense of their wedding—the venue, the setting, perhaps a color palette or a general aesthetic—but not a fully formed vision for their invitations.

    I’ll ask the right questions, find the threads worth pulling, and translate what makes your celebration distinctive into something that feels completely your own.

Design & Keepsake

  • What is the Design Dossier?

  • I take care of everything from designing your suite through ordering materials, overseeing production, handling the unexpected, double-checking addresses and addressing envelopes keeping in mind proper etiquette, assembling your suite, calculating postage, navigating USPS guidelines and mailing so you can free up your valuable time.

  • Every celebration is different, but most custom suites include the invitation, reply piece, details card, and inner and outer envelopes. Depending on your Design Path, your suite may also include custom artwork, monograms, welcome party or rehearsal dinner cards, and other intentional details.

Working Together

  • Most couples begin about 6-8 months before their wedding date. That gives us time to design, proof, and mail without feeling rushed. If you're planning a destination wedding, a multi-day celebration, or considering specialty printing like letterpress, a little earlier is always better. Not sure where you fall? Check out my Invitation Timeline. Enter your wedding date for a personalized timeline.

  • There are 3 milestones/events to keep in mind when sending invitations. Give invitations about a month to go through USPS (sounds excessive, but trust me), give your guests 6-8 weeks to respond and set the RSVP date for about 4-6 weeks before the wedding date. TLDR; 4 months.

  • I take on a limited number of weddings each year so I can give every celebration my full attention. Once we’ve decided we’re a good fit, your date is reserved with a signed agreement and 30% retainer. The remaining balance is due once your designs are approved and ready for production.

  • Yes — every step of the way. From formal wording to who gets their own invitation (an adult child living at home does, by the way), I’ll guide you through it so you can feel confident in every detail.
