01 / Inquiry & Consultation
After you submit your inquiry, Jess will be in touch to schedule a consultation call to learn more about you, your wedding, and your wedding stationery hopes and dreams.
02 / Proposal
You’ll receive a totally custom proposal based on our conversation, including any extras we think you’ll love.
03 / Design
Once you accept your proposal, sign your contract, and pay your retainer (the business stuff), Jess will get started on your custom design and deliver a beautifully realistic mockup of your paper goods right to your inbox. Our custom invitations include multiple rounds of revisions to make sure you’re thrilled with the results.
04 / Production
We’ve spent years tracking down the best vendors and production partners to help bring our designs to life. We work only with those who share our values and (exceptionally high) quality standards. All calligraphy and assembly are completed in house.
05 / Delivery
Your stationery will be securely packed and delivered straight to your door. We also offer mailing services for those who prefer a more hands-off approach.
Once you’ve collected your RSVPs, we’ll get to work on your day-of items.

Order Save The Dates
We recommend starting the design process for your save the dates around a year from your wedding date (or more, depending on how far the majority of your guests will be traveling).
8-12 Months

If most of your guests are local, plan on sending your save the dates eight to ten months from your wedding. If you're having a destination wedding or most of your guests are traveling, we recommend ten months to a year.

Begin Invitation Design
Begin Planning Day-Of Items
There are a lot of factors that go into determining how early to start your invitation design, such as print method and whether you opt for calligraphy addressing. We’re always happy to guide you when it comes to planning your design schedule.
2-3 Months
Mail Invitations
Mailing your invitations two to three months before your wedding date will give you plenty of time to receive your RSVPs and finalize your seating chart and guests' menu choices.
Although you won’t be able to finalize your day-of items until you have all of your RSVPs in hand, we’ll get started on design and order the necessary materials so we’re ready to go.
4-6 Weeks
Finalize Day-of Items
Now that you've received your RSVPs, we can finalize items like place or escort cards, seating charts, and welcome notes. This will ensure that we have enough time for production and / or calligraphy before the big day.
