FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
  • WHAT EXACTLY DOES "CUSTOM" ENTAIL WHEN IT COMES TO STATIONERY?
    Custom stationery means that it is not the same as anyone else’s; it is not ordering a pre-existing wedding invitation online; it IS one of a kind. It’s working with a designer (me!) one-on-one to create something beautiful that shows off your style and uniqueness as a couple.
  • HOW FAR IN ADVANCE SHOULD I REACH OUT/BOOK YOUR SERVICES?
    You should plan to reach out to your stationer at least 9 months prior to your wedding, if not sooner. If you’re planning on sending out save the dates, please plan to inquire at least 12 months prior. A good rule of thumb: inquire as soon as you have a date set!
  • HOW LONG DOES THE CUSTOM STATIONERY PROCESS TAKE?
    The entire process for your custom invitations (not including any other desired stationery, like your save the dates or day-of pieces) could take anywhere from 1-3 months to be designed, printed, and assembled.
  • HOW FAR BEFORE MY WEDDING DATE SHOULD I MAIL OUT MY STATIONERY?
    Save the dates should be sent out 8-12 months prior to your wedding date. This could depend on your wedding’s location, the quantity of out-of-town guests, etc. And finally, wedding invitations should be sent out 8-10 weeks before the wedding, if not sooner.
  • WHAT OTHER SERVICES DO YOU OFFER?
    On top of custom wedding invitations, I offer just about any other stationery and signage desired— save the dates, bridal/baby shower invitations, programs, menus, table numbers, place cards, escort cards, signage (large scale, too!), thank you cards. Don’t be afraid to inquire about anything specific you’d like to add to your day! More than likely, it’s doable! In addition, I also offer small business branding services. If there is something else particular you are looking for, please feel free to reach out!
  • WHAT IF I DO NO LIVE LOCALLY TO PITTSBURGH?
    No worries whatsoever! I’ve handled many out-of-state clients and am able to work through my process just as easy as if they were in Pittsburgh. Please, please don’t hesitate to reach out, even if you are not local.
  • DO YOU OFFER ANY RENTALS?
    At this time, I am not offering any type of wedding rentals. I am always happy to include/help you source items like table number holders, easels, etc. Always inquire with your planner and/or venue about rentals as well - more often than not, they have a variety of offerings!
  • WHAT WILL THEY COST?
    All of the stationery I offer is custom and made-to-order. That being said, pricing is very dependent on what you are looking for. Pricing can be affected by paper, envelopes, embellishments, and assembly required. Feel free to head over to the Inquiry page to inquire and get a custom quote.
  • HOW MUCH DO MOST OF YOUR WEDDING CLIENTS INVEST IN INVITATIONS?
    All wedding clients vary, but most of my wedding clients invest approximately $1,500-$3,000 on average on their wedding stationery (from save the dates, to day-of pieces). When providing your custom quote, I try to be as detailed and transparent as possible to show my clients the breakdown of the costs. I will always provide pricing before beginning any work with my clients and keep you up-to-date throughout the process of any pricing changes.
