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 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.

The total process takes approximately 6-9 weeks from ordering until your unique wedding invitation is 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, for an added fee.
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 unique wedding invitation. All 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.
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.
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.
You have the 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!
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.
The first step to booking your unique wedding invitation is to get a proposal with all your desired elements, print method, and quantity.
How would you like to receive that?
