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.

Intentional wedding invitation design does more than announce a date. It introduces the vibe.
For Jenna + Kevin’s wedding, each detail in the paper suite introduced elements guests would later experience in person. The Ceremony Oak illustrated on the invitation reflected the setting at Cass Winery, while the custom couple monogram echoed the oval shape of their ring case. A soft yellow envelope subtly previewed the bridesmaids’ dresses guests would soon see walking down the aisle.
When stationery and signage are designed collaboratively with the planner, venue, and floral design team, the entire celebration begins to feel cohesive long before guests arrive.

New season. Same obsession.
If Regency romance is back on your screen, it should be back in your wedding paper too. Think heirloom crests, romantic script, deckled edges, and the softest blush palette layered with florals worthy of high society.
Considering a proper courtship with RRD?
The Ton would strongly encourage it.
Booking Fall 2026 + 2027.
