Semi-Custom Stationery
Our semi-custom suites are the perfect way to have a tailored experience without the price tag that comes with custom
design. All of our invitations have customizable elements, and the option to add embellishments so your wedding suites
are a true representation of you as a couple. This page is home to all of our semi-custom processes and offerings.
How it Works
01. inspiration + inquiry
Congrats on your engagement! While you are busy making plans, make sure to save the ideas that speak to you. Have a look at our invitation gallery, get inspiration from your venue, gather colours, and think about any stationery must-haves that you don’t want to leave out. When you are 6-8 months away from your big day it is time to chat (8+ months if you are planning on sending Save the Dates)! Take some time to complete the inquiry form for the semi-custom suite of your choice.
02. proposal + contract
I’ll take a close look at all of the information you provided, get additional details if necessary, and send your tailored proposal. We can discuss any questions you have, and add or remove items if needed, and when you’re happy with your quote we can move on to the next step. I will send your contract to be signed and collect the 50% retainer before we move onto the next steps.
03. design + production
You’ll provide me with all of the wording needed to customize the suite you’ve ordered. I’ll send the first proof of your personalized design which gets a total of 2 more revisions if needed before we reach the final design. If you’re doing any guest address printing you’ll send over your list at this time as well. When the final design has been approved, your pieces will be printed and make their way to you ready to be assembled and mailed!
Printing Methods
Digital - $
Digital (or ‘flat’) printing is our most common and cost-effective printing option with the fastest turnaround time. It is the friendliest method for printing a wide range of artwork- from the teeniest of details to watercolour washes. Digital printing offers an extensive range of colours, and works well with upgrades such as coloured paper, or a thicker stock.
White-Ink - $$
White ink is another affordable member of the digital printing family, and has become a popular choice. Like digital printing, white ink holds up very well when used with fine lines or detailed elements, and stands out exceptionally well on darker paper colours. Please keep in mind that there will be an upgrade to coloured paper or envelopes if choosing white ink.
Letterpress - $$$
Letterpress is for couples that want their stationery to have a luxury look and feel. Your final design is made into a ‘plate’, ink colours are hand-mixed, and your design is (literally) pressed into a pillowy cotton paper. Unlike white-ink printing, letterpress ink is translucent and won’t show up well on darker papers. With extra labour and materials, letterpress also comes with a higher price tag than our digital options.
Foil Stamping - $$$$
Foil stamping is another option that adds a luxury look to your suites. It uses a plate in the same way that letterpress does, but this plate is heated up before pressing foil onto the paper rather than ink. The impression is not as noticeable as letterpress, but you do get a true metallic or opaque finish depending on the foil colour you choose. Foil stamping is the most expensive of our 4 printing methods.
Upgrades + Add-Ons
The list below features some of the most popular upgrades that couples choose as add-ons for their invitation suites. Please keep in mind that add-ons are not limited to this list. If you have an idea for something you’d like as an addition to your suite please add it to your inquiry form or send a message on our contact page.
