When To Order
When you send out your invitations is based on personal preference, however we suggest:
​
-
Save the dates: Approximately 9-12 months before wedding
-
Wedding suite: Approximately 3-6 months before wedding
We also recommend that the RSVP date is at least 4-6 weeks before the wedding to finalize numbers for "On the Day" stationery such as menus and place cards.
​
* Please order your invitations at least 8 weeks prior to when you want to mail your stationery to allow adequate time for design and production.

print techniques
digital print
Price: $
Production Time: 3-4 weeks
Digital printing produces a flat, smooth finish. A wide variety of ink colors may be selected when ordering this print method.
white digital
Price: $$
Production Time: 3-4 weeks
Using a special digital press, white ink printing is simply the ability to print white ink onto dark paper stocks.
letterpress
Price: $$$
Production Time: 5-6 weeks
foil press
Price: $$$$
Production Time: 5-6 weeks
Using a custom-made metal plate, your design is pressed into the paper with matte inks, creating a beautiful impression. This print method is best paired with double thick card stock. The thicker the paper, the thicker the impression. Not suitable for dark colored card.
Foil is stamped into the paper using heat and pressure, leaving a slight impression and a metallic, shiny finish. Available in gold, rose gold, and silver foil. Other foil colors available upon request. Works beautifully with both dark and light colored paper stocks.
blind emboss
Price: $$$$
Production Time: 5-6 weeks
Embossing creates a beautiful three dimensional effect. Two custom-made plates are applied with pressure to squeeze and raise the surface of the paper. Works well with a range of papers, however we recommend light-medium colored paper stocks for legibility. Embossing is usually paired with digital print, letterpress or foil for smaller text.
