consultation
We custom design every paper project, allowing for a completely customized + unique experience and product, while staying within your timeline and budget.
We schedule a limited number of custom paper projects each month, so our team of graphic artists + designers can devote the necessary time to bring your vision to life! We specialize in all print methods (engraving, letterpress, foil stamping, thermography, digital). We offer creative direction, watercolor artwork, illustrations and hand lettering.
An initial consultation call is included with all projects. This allows us to gain a better understanding of your project and answer any questions you may have.

PRICING
During the consultation call, we will determine the specifics of your project including quantities, print method(s), paper types, etc. This will allow us to create a custom quote for your project.
On average, most clients set aside $2,500 - $10,000 for Wedding Suites, and a minimum of $1,500 for Save the Dates and Custom Cards.
Once pricing is approved, we will collect a 50% deposit to begin design. The remainder of your project total will be collected before beginning production.

THE PROCESS
Once your deposit has been made, your project enters the Design phase. At this time, we will share all necessary deadlines. A typical invitation suite project averages about 10-12 weeks of design and production.
We offer a completely virtual process, all proofs will be sent electronically. All projects include two additional rounds of revisions complimentary, so we can be sure everything is perfect before we print.
Once we have your final approval on all pieces, your project will enter production. Depending on the print method(s), production typically ranges from 3 - 5 weeks.
Once completed, all pieces will be mailed to you for assembly + mailing.
If applicable, once your invitation suite is approved, we'll begin on any day-of paper + party products.
