Now you know your window.
The next question is what to do with it.Custom wedding invitations take about 6-8 months from first conversation to your guests' mailboxes — which means if your timeline is showing you're in that window, this is exactly the right moment to reach out.

Your Design Edit starts with a discovery call.
Your personalized timeline
Everything you need
to know for
The Design Edit — three personalized design directions created 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, lifelike 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, and every detail has been handled. All that's left is to enjoy every moment.
How long the process takes
The full custom invitation experience typically spans six to eight 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.
