ElizaGrace process
Discovery call + Compass

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 phase complete
Final design approval

Design typically spans several weeks of collaboration — font pairings, paper choices, print methods, life-like mockups, and proofing until everything feels exactly right.

The big moment
Mail your invitations

Reply-by date
RSVP deadline

Request replies 4–6 weeks before the wedding so you and your vendors have time to finalize seating, catering counts, and any last details.

The day
Your wedding

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.

Phase one
Design + proofing
Discovery call, Invitation Compass, design, mockups, revisions, and final approval
Phase two
Production + delivery
4–6 weeks — printing, assembly, addressing, and mailing. All handled for you.

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.
