Wedding Invitation Approach

Big Day in Brief

Before we dive into design, let’s get down to the brass tacks of your wedding that will largely inform the composition of your invitation suite.

Event Overview & Communication Strategy

How many weekend events are you planning? Will all guests be invited to each weekend event?

Suite Pieces

What pieces do you need to support your invitation? How will you be collecting replies – via mailed cards or digital platform?

Pricing

Do you have any specific budget parameters? Approximately how many stationery sets will you need? *Remember, it’s one per couple/family.*

Fulfillment & Delivery

Machine calligraphy or hand calligraphy? Mailing or shipping? We’ll help find the best solutions to get your invitation across the finish line.
