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).
your love story is one of a kind. Your paper goods should be, too.

Available print methods
Many options to fit your vibe — and your budget
digital/flat
$
letterpress
$$
Letterpress is a centuries-old artisan process. A plate is made with your design, and that’s pressed into the paper with an ink roller. Your invitations have a deep impression and texture with your design.
foil stamping
$$$
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).
embossing
$$$$
Embossing is created with a “double” plate. Instead of the impression going down into the paper, this method creates an upward raised texture. Commonly offered as an accent element, in tandem with letterpress or foil stamping. Can be single height or sculpted.
All of our professional printing is done in the USA by talented artisans. Other print methods are offered as your project dictates.

The Booking Process
i take on a limited number of clients per year,
to provide you with the highest level of service
01

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 for your invitations. This will reflect desired quantity, print, and embellishments.

You’re officially a booked client and I’ll be honored to welcome you to the LEMD family! Happy dance ensues.
The Design Process
my proven process typically takes 6-9 weeks from kickoff to mailing
01
kickoff
We’ll do a design kickoff call together to chat through your color palette, vibe, and goals. You get to choose your hand-written calligraphy script style, to be used in your invitation. You’ll fill out a questionnaire and I’ll provide you with a full wording draft.
02
proofing
This is where you’ll see everything come to life! You’ll see a full digital mockup of all elements together, as well as individually to leave feedback. We’ll go back and forth to get it perfect, and then you’ll sign off on the final proof before printing.
03
delivery
You have the preferred option for my team to handle your assembly and mailing as a white-glove service. Or, you can opt to do this yourself, with instructions from me. Either way, your gorgeous invitations will be sent into the world, and you get to enjoy all the love!
04
wedding day
We’ll repeat this process for your day-of-wedding items, starting two months ahead of your day. We’ll chat through your wedding as guests will experience it, so you can decide what items you want. We’ll design, produce, and sort them to match your event branding, all seamlessly from one vendor.
holy moly, if you made it to this point... you're a keeper.
You're clearly pumped. That makes two of us. Let's do this!
The first step to booking your unique wedding invitation is to get a proposal with all your desired elements, print method, and quantity.
