Custom invitation suites are designed from scratch based on your wedding theme and color palette. The artwork is created based on this information.

CAN YOU MATCH MY COLORS EXACTLY?
We do our absolute best to match your palette colors. If you need a match to a specific color or colors, we ask you to provide us with a Pantone, HEX, CMYK, or RGB code. Please remember several factors can affect how color is displayed on your screen or in the final printed material. We cannot be responsible for these variances.

Custom invitations start at $2,500 + printing and materials.

DO YOU OFFER DIGITAL FILES OF YOUR SUITES?
I do not offer printable invitations.
WHAT IS YOUR TURNAROUND TIME?
Turnaround and processing times vary depending on the print process and type of suite you order.
If you are looking for semi-custom suites, please allow 6-8 weeks before your mailing date.
For semi-custom, anything with less than 6 weeks to produce is considered a rush and additional fees will be added to your invoice. Usually this is an additional 25% to 50% of your order total.
If you are looking for custom invitations, please allow a minimum of 10 months before your mailing date.
Due to the nature of custom invitations I will not consider anything with less than 8 months of turnaround time.

• Foils: digital and hot stamped
