WHY CHOOSE CUSTOM
WEDDING STATIONERY?

Let's get personal

I take the time to get to know you as a couple, your unique love story and your wedding day vision. I tailor every single design choice to create stationery that is so much more than just a piece of paper.

Custom stationery that fits like a glove

You are looking for a one-of-a-kind design, something you both love and that speaks to you as a couple. We’ll gather inspiration to find a design that is authentically yours. Then I bring it all together into an invitation suite that looks and feels just right.

A trusting relationship

Let's be honest, wedding planning is stressful so you need someone who is going to ease your stress and provide solutions to your problems so you aren’t second-guessing every decision. I work one-on-one with you on the lead up to your wedding providing a high-end, dedicated service you won’t find anywhere else.

An expert designer

It’s time to step away from inspiration overwhelm, late nights trying to set up files for print, spending hours trying to find fonts - your time is better spent. I have spent years becoming a graphic designer and fine-tuning my expertise so you don’t have to. I’m here to guide you every step of the way so you can make informed decisions and then relax while I handle everything for you.

The highest quality

You’ve heard the horror stories of disaster DIY or orders of questionable quality. With a professional designer at your fingertips I ensure every detail is perfect, excellent quality is guaranteed. I oversee all your stationery; refined design, high-quality materials and trusted suppliers.

WORKING WITH ME

1. Let's get started

Simply book in a consultation or email me and we can have a chat. There are lots of details I need from you to give you an accurate price but more importantly I want to know you and your love story. It also allows you to get to know me.

2. Booking in

Following on from our chat you’ll receive a Wedding Stationery Proposal into your inbox. We'll work together to make sure everything matches your style, vision, and budget. If we need to, we can change things up until it's perfect.

To make it official, we'll both sign a Client Agreement, and you'll need to pay a 50% deposit to secure your spot in my diary.

Once that's sorted, you'll get your very own secure Client Portal. It's where we'll manage our project, and you can access it whenever you like.

3. Design & presentation

Before we start working on your stationery, I'll ask you to do a few things to help me understand your style and preferences. That way, I can create stationery that's perfect for you!

Once you've given me all the details, I'll take care of the rest. First, I'll make a mood board to show you how everything will come together. Then, I'll use my skills to create two different stationery concepts to choose from.

I'll show you my stationery concepts with a brief explanation, and you can tell me what you like and what you don't.

After you've picked your favorite design, I'll fine-tune it based on your feedback and apply it to all your stationery pieces. I'll present you with a new proof to review, and you can give me more feedback and request changes if needed. We'll keep working together, refining the design until it's just right. You can ask for up to three rounds of revisions, meaning four proofs total, at no additional cost.

4. Sign off

Once you're completely satisfied with your stationery, I'll send you a final proof with a spot for your signature at the bottom. By signing the proof, you'll confirm that everything is accurate and give me the go-ahead to print your artwork. After I receive your approval, I'll send you an invoice for the remaining balance of your order.

Timing - Steps 3-4 usually take about 4-6 weeks, but this depends on how quickly you provide the necessary details and respond to feedback and approval requests.

5. Delivery

I'll send your stationery to my trusted suppliers who will work their magic and make it come to life. After it's printed, I'll carefully check the quality to make sure it's perfect before packing it up with care and sending it to you.

Once you receive your stationery, it's your turn to put everything together and send out your invitations to your guests.

Timing - step 5 usually takes about 1-3 weeks depending on your chosen printing technique.

It’s just just a piece of paper,

IT'LL GET THROWN AWAY

Why is it that people only talk about how important invitations are? Sure, the food will get eaten, the flowers will wilt, and the band will stop playing, but let's be real, all of these elements together create a memorable experience for you and your guests. And the experience doesn't start when your guests show up on your wedding day, it starts when they receive their invitation. That little piece of paper does so much more than just give the who, what, and where. It sets the tone for your guests and gives them a sneak peek into your big day. It lets them know what to expect and creates a connection before your wedding.

If you put time and effort into creating something unique and authentic, people won't throw it out. If you're intentional with your design and materials, people will appreciate the love and thought behind it. If you get it right, your invitation will have a special place in your guests' homes leading up to (and even after) your wedding day. And unlike other elements of your wedding, your invitation won't have an expiration date.

I know everyone has their own priorities when it comes to wedding budgets. Maybe you want to go all out on flowers, or maybe excellent food and wine are a must-have. I'm not here to tell you where to spend your money. However, I do believe that investing in quality wedding stationery is totally worth it. So take the time to consider your paper goods or hire someone who will. Trust me, it'll make a difference.

Do you have an office?

Not at the moment but if you are local I can meet you for a cuppa, I’m based in Bridge Of Weir just outside Glasgow, Scotland. I offer consultations by appointment so just get in touch if you would like to chat. If you are further away fear not we can talk on the phone or arrange a zoom.
How much does custom wedding stationery cost?

The average couple spends anything from £500–£2000 on their wedding stationery. It really depends on the type of invites you are looking for and some of the finishes available. For some basic pricing you can find out more here.
What is your turnaround time?

I usually need 6-8 weeks to complete a wedding stationery order. The design process takes around 5 weeks, where we work on the mood board and concepts, and then allow another 2-3 weeks for printing and delivery after your approval. Keep in mind that this timeline starts once I receive your deposit and all the pre-work I need to begin your project, not from when you first contacted me. Sometimes, during busy periods, it might take a bit longer, but I will let you know if that's the case.
Can you rush my order? I need it soon.

If you need your stationery to be completed within 5 weeks or less, it will be considered a rush order, this comes with a fee of 20% of your total order cost. However, please keep in mind that my availability to take on rush orders may vary, so please contact me. To avoid any disappointment, I highly recommend placing your order at least 6 months before your wedding day.
Do you have a minimum quantity?

My minimum order is 20 invites. Specialty printing techniques are a minimum of 50.
Can you personalise my invites with my guest's name's?

Yes, this is really easy to do. It comes with a slightly higher cost which will be quoted you to beforehand. I will supply you with a spreadsheet template that you will fill in and send back to me and I simply merge the details into my artwork.
How many Save The Dates and Invites should I order?

You won't need to send an invitation to each guest as you can send one invitation per household or couple. However, it's always a good idea to order 10-15 extra invitations just in case, as it's less expensive to order them as part of your initial order than ordering a small quantity later on.
Can you design my on the day stationery?

Absolutely! I can design all your items so everything is consistent from the moment your guests are invited to when they arrive at the ceremony.
Should I order all my stationery at the one time?

It's not a requirement but it would help you to budget a bit better knowing your full price upfront. It also means you are booked in for everything. Plus I do try to discount couples who make larger orders.
What are your payment terms?

It's a 50% deposit upfront to lock in your order and secure space in my diary. I will then invoice the remaining 50% due prior to printing.
If I need to cancel what happens to my deposit?

It really depends on what stage your order is at. If no work has been started then you'll get a full refund. If I have started you would get a partial refund to cover my design time.
How will I receive my order?

Your postage and packaging cost will depend on the size and weight of your order. I will quote accordingly and the cost will appear on your final invoice. If you are local, pick up can also be arranged or I can meet you too.
