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.

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. 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 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 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.
