Frequently Asked Questions
A few of the questions we’re asked most often. If there’s anything else you’d love to know, please don’t hesitate to reach out.

When should we inquire about our wedding stationery?
We recommend inquiring 6–12 months before your wedding date to allow ample time for design, production, and mailing.
How far in advance should invitations be mailed?

One invitation suite is required per household and/or couple rather than one per guest. We also recommend adding a minimum of 10% spare suites for keepsakes and any last-minute changes.

Semi-custom designs begin with an existing collection and are personalized to your celebration, while custom stationery is designed entirely from the ground up.

Do you assemble the invitations?
