Frequent Asked Questions

What is the average investment for custom stationery and signage?

For our most popular package, The Celebration Collection, serving 100 guests across 50 households, the average investment is $4,500 for a full wedding invitation suite plus day-of stationery and signage. Minimum investment begins at $1,500, and final pricing scales based on guest count, custom embellishments, and specific requirements.

When is the ideal time to book our stationery and signage vendor?

We recommend booking 6-12 months before your wedding date. This timeline gives us the flexibility for design development, revisions, production, and delivery, ensuring that every detail is perfectly in place well ahead of your celebration. Custom invitations take approximately three months from concept to mailing, while day-of details are designed two to three months in advance.

What does the process include?

Every client benefits from unlimited business-hour communication, up to three in-person meetings or site visits, and three rounds of revisions per deliverable. You’ll also receive complimentary planning resources, curated vendor recommendations, and full assembly and mailing services. From award-winning design through meticulous white-glove delivery, we dedicate 30 to 50 hours per project to ensure a seamless, stress-free experience.
