The earlier the better! Save the dates are typically mailed 6 months prior to your event. The design and printing process can take anywhere from 8-12 weeks.

Wedding invitations are typically mailed 6 weeks to 2 months prior to your event. If we have worked together on save the dates, we suggest booking your secondary complimentary consultation for invitations shortly after those have been mailed. The design and printing process can take anywhere from 8-16 weeks. Orders are scheduled upon quotation approval and a booking deposit.

We just need a signed contract and a 50% deposit to start the proofing process. It is helpful that you provide any inspiration in our initial consultation such as colors, mood boards, floral design boards or other paper designs you have seen that speak to you and the vibe of your event. We ask that you provide all exact verbiage and details for all items so that we can work on your layouts.

It’s pretty common to be on the fence about the number of invitations to order with your wedding months away. We quote all items based on a set quantity you predict so that you can know the overall budget and decide whether you wish to sign our contract and move forward with our services. The final quantities will be sorted out just before we send your order to print and costs will be updated accordingly upon your final invoice.

Adjustments to the quantity and overall estimate can be made prior to paying your deposit and starting the design process. If quantities OR design/paper choices change during the middle of the process, the estimate will not be updated for your approval. The remaining amount with the additional costs will be calculated after the job is complete and sent as your final invoice.

We strive to hit the nail on the head with round one! Three proof are included in your estimate. Additional proofs can be added at an extra cost. Please note that additional proofs may affect order timelines.

It usually takes from 6 to 9 weeks from initial consultation to completion, but timing also depends on the number of pieces your order is composed by, the date of your event, and possible extra changes and/or embellishment required.

We love to meet brides from everywhere! If you are not local (we are based in Houston, Texas), we will meet via zoom, we will talk about the paper and print choices virtually, however we are happy to mail you samples of all of these options before signing a contract at no charge if it is important for you to feel the quality of the paper and see the quality of the printing.

Yes you can! Custom crests are created for a $500 fee. Pet portraits are $100 per pet. You may use the file with your decor and paper vendors for branding through your event. The file will be sent to you digitally as a .png for your use.

Customers are obligated to calculate their own postage. We do not provide postage amounts and will not be liable for postage miscalculations. We advise that you take your fully assembled suite to the post office, so a postal worker can weigh it, measure it, and let you know exactly how many stamps you will need. We suggest checking out the USPS website for all of the stamp options. Sometimes there are winners!

Yes! We love to use the same fonts and colors as your suite so that it is all cohesive. We need your list in spreadsheet format, with one column per line of the address. ie : Recipient name, recipient guest or child, address (comma space) unit, city (comma space) state zip, country

We outsource calligraphy to our favorite pointed pen and watercolor calligraphers. All other illustration is done in-house.

All artwork is hand-painted by Alex Schwenke in-house. All artwork is originally painted or drawn, scanned, and manipulated digitally into your custom invitation proof.

We will provide you with all of the digital files you need for these materials. We suggest working with The Essential Market for proofing and ordering these items. However, we are happy to provide full design and production for paper printed items such as menus, programs, place cards, escort cards, bar signs, food signs, welcome letters, etc etc!
