Save the Dates • Wedding Invitation Suites • Day-Of Stationery

Stationery Services

Our typical full service wedding client spends a minimum of $7500 on custom save the dates, wedding invitations, and a handful of day-of stationery items. However, the total investment can be lower or higher, depending on the number of items designed for your suite, materials, number of guests, and other details. All our wedding stationery includes custom illustrated designs, with the choice to include printing services, assembly, trackable mailing & other additions.

Please allow at least 5-6 months from your mail-out date for planning & design your save the dates. For your invitations please allow 7-8 months from your mail-out date to design & plan. In ideal circumstances book with us least a year out from your wedding date.

We typically mail save the dates 8 months to a year prior to your wedding date, & we mail invitations 12-16 weeks before your wedding date.

Need your stationery quicker or at a lower price point?

We offer several work arounds to support folks working on a time or budget constraint.

  • Focusing on a smaller number of items

  • We design, you print

  • Semi custom, where you can choose from an existing design base and select colors changes, font changes, and add a custom crest or venue illustration. Typical cost is $3000 for save the date, an invitation card, details card, and envelope liner or belly band.

  • When our calendar allows we can offer a “day rate”. We start by align on theme and general direction over a call, then Adrienne spends a full day creating as many assets as we can for you. This typically includes 4 - 6 designs (example would be save the date, invitation card, details card, placecards, menus, welcome sign, etc). You will be sent the digital ready to print files with a how to print guide and a editable Canva file to edit wording. A day rate typically cost $3500.
