EXPLORE HOW IT
ALL COMES TOGETHER
Investment
Every project is fully custom, material-driven, and shaped through an evolving design process. As concepts, materials, print methods, and details are explored, investment naturally shifts alongside the work itself.
Rather than fixed packages or a set price list, we work within investment ranges that help guide creative direction, fabrication, and production possibilities throughout the process.
Our minimum investment for wedding projects is $6,000.
Most wedding clients invest between $8,000–$14,000 for custom invitations.
Clients engaging in full services (save-the-dates, invitations, and day-of goods) typically invest between $18,000–$35,000+.
For corporate, branding, or non-wedding celebrations, please inquire for pricing.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
We primarily work with letterpress, embossing, and hot foil stamping, often paired with dimensional details and material-driven production elements that help shape the overall piece. While flat digital printing is not offered as a standalone service, it is incorporated where appropriate for guest envelope addressing and select production applications.
-
Pricing is guided by the scope, materials, print methods, and production details developed throughout the design process.
Most wedding clients invest between $8,000–$14,000 for custom invitation suites and between $12,000–$18,000 for day-of stationery and details. Clients engaging both services typically invest between $18,000–$35,000+.
To secure your booking, a signed contract and non-refundable 50% retainer are required, with the remaining balance due prior to production.
-
Our pricing starts at a minimum quantity of 50. You can order fewer, but the price will remain the same.
Pricing varies depending on the order size—smaller orders may have a higher per-piece cost, while larger orders benefit from a reduced price per piece.
-
Your invitation count will usually be lower than your guest count, as invitations are traditionally sent per household rather than per individual. However, we recognize that household sizes and compositions vary, and we encourage thoughtful planning to ensure every guest feels included.
While the conventional practice has been to count invitations per household, we aim to challenge these norms to foster inclusivity. We're happy to guide you in determining the right quantity to suit your unique needs.
We also suggest ordering 10–15% extra invitations to accommodate any last-minute guest list additions. (We break this down more in our blog post on how many invitations to order.) Every wedding stationery order includes complimentary keepsakes for you and your photographer.
Note: Invitations are printed in increments of 25, so we recommend rounding up to the nearest 25 when finalizing your count. -
Quantities cannot be reduced after booking, so we recommend starting with your lowest expected count.
-
Given the custom nature of our work, we typically schedule wedding bookings ten months to over a year in advance. If you are interested in booking with us, it is best to submit an inquiry form as soon as possible.
If you're on a tighter timeline, rush services may be available for an additional fee, depending on our availability.
To ensure the best experience for our clients, we take on a limited number of projects per year.
-
Save The Dates
Our general recommendation is 6 to 8 months before your wedding, or 10 to 12 months for a destination wedding.For Invitations
We suggest 12 weeks in advance for local weddings. 16 weeks in advance for destination weddings (or when most guests will be traveling). If save-the-dates are not sent, we recommend additional time. -
We encourage clients to speak to their venue, caterer, and any other vendor that requires a headcount to determine when they need the final numbers, ensuring you have enough time to collect your guests' responses.
In most cases, they will need the final count about two weeks before your event date. Based on this, we recommend setting your RSVP deadline at least 2-3 weeks before your venue and/or vendors need the guest count. This provides extra time to follow up on missing RSVP cards and allows for any last-minute adjustments.
-
The unique nature of each project directly influences its timeline. Wedding invitations typically take 10 to 16 weeks from design to delivery to you.
If you're on a tighter timeline, rush services may be available for an additional fee, depending on our availability.
-
Yes. To better protect the investment in each project, invitation suites are typically mailed using tracked parcel services such as UPS or USPS Ground Advantage rather than traditional USPS First-Class Mail. Mailing costs are separate from quoted project estimates.
USPS First-Class Mail may still be available on a limited, case-by-case basis for select suites.
-
As our work is entirely customized, we cannot offer refunds or returns.
-
We retain the copyright for all our designs, but we’re happy to offer a licensing fee for certain elements if you’d like to use them on products or uses outside of what we provide.
