The Fine
Details
If you’re the kind of couple who wants it done — without having to manage it — here’s what working together actually looks like.
The Process
From consultation to delivery day, here’s how we’ll create your custom invitation suite
01 Discovery
We’ll start with a conversation about your wedding and what matters most to you. From there, I’ll outline the timeline, walk through etiquette, and make sure you know exactly what to expect moving forward.
02 Invitation Compass
Next, you’ll receive a tailored proposal with a mood board, pricing, and timeline — so you can see how everything comes together before we move forward.
Each proposal includes what I call The Invitation Compass — a visual guide with quick sketches outlining three distinct directions. It’s where ideas start to take shape, and where you get to see how different design choices and print methods influence both the look and the investment.
The Expected Path — the design we discussed, aligned with your priorities and ideal budget.
The Scenic Route — thoughtful upgrades that add depth and character through refined details or specialty printing.
The Unexpected Journey — creative possibilities that go beyond the expected for something truly memorable.
The Invitation Compass is where the possibilities become tangible — and where you get to choose the direction that feels most like you.
03 Design
This is where the ideas start to feel real. You’ll see sketches and mockups that bring the design into focus, and we’ll refine the details together — adjusting layout, wording, and finishes — until everything feels cohesive and complete.
04 Production
With your designs finalized, we move into printing and finishing. Paper is selected, plates are ordered, and your suite begins to come to life. I oversee each step of production so the details translate beautifully from proof to print.
Production typically takes 4–6 weeks, depending on the complexity of your suite and any custom elements we’ve included.
05 Delivery
Finally, I assemble, address, and mail everything on your behalf. Postage is calculated, timelines are tracked, and each suite is carefully prepared before it leaves my hands. Your invitations go out exactly as planned — and it’s one less thing you have to think about.
A Few Common Questions
You may still have a few practical questions — here are the ones I’m most often asked.
-
Most couples reach out 8–12 months before the wedding. That allows plenty of time for design, printing, and mailing without feeling rushed. If you’re planning a more formal celebration or considering specialty printing, earlier is always better.
-
Each suite is designed as a cohesive set of pieces based on your wedding and guest experience. Most formal suites include an invitation, reply card + envelope, details card, and both inner and outer envelopes. From there, we refine your suite with finishes and print methods that support your overall design.
-
Yes. I’ll walk you through wording and etiquette in a way that fits your wedding — whether you lean traditional or prefer something more relaxed.
I also handle guest addressing so the entire suite feels polished. Digital addressing is included, with calligraphy available for a fully handwritten touch.
-
I take on a limited number of weddings each year so I can give every couple the time and focus they deserve. To reserve your date, we’ll finalize a simple agreement and a 30% retainer. The remaining balance is due once your designs are approved and ready for production.

Ready to begin?
If you’ve found your way here, you’re likely planning a wedding that values tradition, intention, and beautiful details done well.
This is the easy part. Share a few details below, and I’ll take it from there.
I personally review every inquiry and respond within two business days with my Custom Invitation Experience Guide and the option to schedule a consultation.
To ensure every couple receives the level of care and attention this process deserves, custom wedding invitations begin at $2,500.
Most couples invest between $4,500–$8,000 for a full stationery experience, which typically includes letterpress printing, double-thick cotton paper, traditional envelopes, and full-service assembly. If that range feels comfortable, we’re likely a great fit.
