CUSTOM WEDDING STATIONERY
We design custom stationery that's all about you and your big day. Through thoughtful, curated design, we create unique, handmade pieces that you'll treasure for years.
Letterpress printing gives your stationery touchable texture, depth, and a luxe feel. It’s the first impression of your wedding, and our goal is to make sure your ideas are beautifully executed and brought to life.
OUR PROCESS
STEP 1
Let’s Chat!
To get started, reach out to us via email or our contact form. Tell us all about your wedding, your inspirations and ideas. If you have one, sending your Pinterest board is great for this step.
Providing an idea of what items you need (invitations, rsvp, envelopes, etc) and a quantity will help us get an estimate put together.
STEP 2
Let’s Meet!
If the estimate looks good to you, we’ll move forward with either an in-person meeting or a video call. If we opt for a video chat, I’ll send samples ahead of time so you can see and feel our
work first-hand.
During this meeting, we’ll chat about design preferences, paper options, colors, aesthetic, typography, and of course, letterpress.
STEP 3
Design
Our design process includes 2-3 initial design options, followed by 3 rounds of edits. The first round of proofs is typically sent within 5-7 business days. From there, we’ll go back-and-forth with feedback and refine the design until your suite is perfect.
This step typically takes 2—3 weeks.
STEP 4
Approval
Once you’re completely happy, hopefully even over-the-moon, with your wedding suite, you’ll provide final approval. We’ll order printing plates and paper, and get your order into production.
STEP 5
Printing
All our letterpress printing is done in-house on our Vandercook Universal I. Digital printing is done on our Canon Pixma 200.
Printing turnaround is 12 business days.
STEP 6
Your order is ready
If you’re local, we’ll arrange delivery or pick-up with you. For shipping, we have an account with Pirate Ship, so no matter where you’re located, we can provide great shipping rates.
STEP 7
Day-Of Items
We love helping out with day-of materials. Whether you only need design services, or are looking for sourcing as well, we’ve got you. Just a few things we can help with are: place cards, cocktail napkins, signage, menus, and programs.
INVITATION MAILING TIMELINE
We recommend sending your wedding invitations out 8-12 weeks before your wedding day.
