Our Process
Our philosophy
With something so personal, why would you settle for a generic template from a faceless company when you could work with an actual person?
We can customize every single piece of your paper goods to reflect who you are. From your wedding venue to your favorite flowers or your pets, the sky is the limit!
We not only create your custom stationery but we can also work on your wedding signage and day-of paper goods so that everything matches and you have a cohesive and well-thought-out look.
Step 1
We start with an appointment to go over your overall vision for your big day. We can do this over Zoom or in person if you’re local. We can talk about how we can customize the perfect stationery suite for you. I want to hear all about your love story and learn what you need, what would be nice, and what would be a dream come true!
Step 2
Once you sign your contract, I will take your vision and work my magic! I’ll create some sketches based on our conversation and send those over your way.
If you're happy with the sketch, I'll get started on painting your unique pieces. I will then mock up a couple of design options based on our vision and you can approve the design or let me know what revisions you’d like me to make! I offer unlimited revisions to ensure every element is perfect!
Step 3
Once you’ve approved the full stationery suite, we’re ready to bring your order to life! Your invitations will be professionally printed and hand-assembled with the utmost care.
Once your goodies arrive, I will work on calligraphy addressing if you choose to add that on, paying extra attention to etiquette.
Step 4
As the envelopes start arriving in your friends’ and family’s mailboxes, get ready for messages to start pouring in, saying how much they love your beautiful and unique invitation and how excited they are for your wedding!
The experience doesn’t stop at the invitations! We provide everything you need for your wedding day as well, from seating charts and menus to cocktail signs and thank you cards. We even offer hand-painted champagne and perfume bottles to match your invitations! The sky is the limit and we adore your special requests!
Cost is dependent on so many factors, including your number of guests, the print processes you love, materials choices, how many items we are including in your stationery package, etc. Our minimum investment for custom wedding invitations is $1,000. The average PBDS couple spends about $3,000 for their dream stationery.
