crafting the first impression of your big day with

Fill out the form right here. I'll create a custom proposal for you and I'll be available to chat about your wedding and vision, and how we can make it all work.
Yay! We'll finalize your proposal and sign the dotted line to secure your booking. You'll pay a 50% deposit and then design can begin!
I'll get all the design details I need when you complete your client homework (the fun kind, promise!). All of this is done in my clients-only portal.
Your first proof will be sent within four weeks and you'll have two weeks to request any changes and edits. I'm always just an email away during this process!
Pay the balance on your invoice, sign off the final design, and I get to work printing, creating, and assembling your suites.
Get excited! I know you can't wait to get your beauties sent, so I'll send a sneak peek of your full suite in a video so you can see it all come together.
Whether I'm mailing your invites from my studio or sending them to you for mailing, your guests will begin to receive their invites at least 8 weeks prior to your event.

I'm based in Richmond, Virginia, but happily ship (fo' free) worldwide.
At this time, I don’t currently offer full invitation calligraphy. This is a skill I’m still developing and prefer to focus on the design and typography details of your suite for the best service possible. I would love to connect you to an excellent provider of this service when we nail down your design, if you're looking for calligraphy.
A million times YESSS!!! LGBTQIA+, no matter how you identify and regardless of how you define your relationship, I'd love to be a part of your wedding day. Love is love and I'm 100% here for it!
If you and your partner are thinking of skipping the fuss and running off to do a private ceremony with just the two of you or a handful of your nearest and dearest, I'd be absolutely honored to design a jaw-dropping announcement or party invite. Pricing is based on Package .03, but I'd be happy to customize your elopement suite package.
You'll receive the exact amount as ordered, plus a keepsake and photographer's copy. Suites are priced to include up to 100 suites. Additional suites over 100 are $100 per 10 additional suites.
Consider your RSVP date (typically 4 weeks before the day of the wedding); to have your invites ready to mail, invitation suites should be finalized by 10 weeks before the day of the wedding so that you can mail them 8 weeks prior to the wedding day.
Your first round of proofs will be provided to you in the clients-only portal within four weeks of you submitting your forms (aka client homework). The sooner you submit your forms, the sooner I can get to work!
This is your wedding and if you are uncomfortable with photos of your suite being shared on my social media platforms, I will respect that and not post anything without your permission.
Postage will depend on the weight of your suite, which can vary. However, I provide a postage guide (if needed based on your package) when I send your invites to you so that you know exactly what to do to ensure proper delivery of your invites.
Yes, of course. I can split your payments into three installments instead of 50/50. Just let me know if this would suit you.
Sure! This design-only service is $850 and can be done relatively quickly and will include a printing guide for your convenience. For the design-only service, letterpress and metallic foil are not available.
Life is complicated and the unexpected is to be expected. The deposit is non refundable as this helps to protect my business due to turning away all other bookings for your allocated design time. I hope you understand that deposit is insurance for my business to stay afloat in the event of a cancellation.
