Digital printing is your most budget-friendly option. There is no texture created with the printing – it is smooth on the surface of the paper. Used for any multi-color elements (such as watercolor paintings). This print method is created on eggshell paper.
Printed in the USA
Letterpress is a centuries-old artisan process. A plate is made with your design, and that’s pressed into the paper with an ink roller. Your invitations have a deep impression and texture with your design. This print method is created on 100% cotton paper.

Like letterpress, foil stamping is another hand-done process. You’ll get the same gorgeous texture and impression, but instead of colored ink, the imprint is in your chosen metallic (shown here in gold foil). This print method is created on 100% cotton paper.

Embossing is created with a “double” plate. Instead of the tactile impression going down into the paper, this method creates a raised texture to the paper. Most commonly offered as an accent element, in tandem with letterpress or foil stamping for legibility.

The total process takes approximately 6-9 weeks from ordering until your invitations are completed, assuming you handle your “homework” in a timely manner.
Order early to secure your space on my production calendar. Your custom timeline will reflect our start date together.
Once we’re ready to start, I’ll send over my tried-and-true wording questionnaire for you to fill out. Using your answers, I’ll create a comprehensive wording draft for you to review.
Each design step takes one week:
1. wording
2. first draft
3. revisions and final proof approval (remaining 50% balance due at this time)
Two rounds of revisions are included, should you need any changes. Please respond within 2 days for on-time production. Additional revisions available, at $75 per round.
You approve the final proof and we’re off to print! Production time varies based on the chosen print method.
Production times listed below, once your final proof approval is submitted:
You’ll provide information to me for your specific event, either on a consultation call or via email questionnaire.
I’ll send you a custom quote with all the specs for your event. A la carte items allow you to choose what’s a “yes.”
Along with your quote, you’ll receive a contract to sign and an invoice for your chosen items, with 50% retainer due.
You’re officially a booked client and I’ll be honored to welcome you to the LEMD family! Happy dance ensues.
There are lots of options here. You do NOT need to decide on all of this before booking. Deep breaths.
If you want something customized even further, let’s do it! The sky’s the limit, though custom elements beyond what’s outlined in this collection library may be subject to an added fee.
Fill out this questionnaire and I’ll send my proposal to you via email with recommendations. Or, I’m happy to chat ways to personalize on a consultation call. Feel free to book a complimentary chat with me if you still have questions.
The first step to book is to get a proposal with all your desired elements, print method, and quantity.
How would you like to receive that?
