But we don't stop at custom invitations- we'll coordinate all of your paper needs- place cards, table cards, menus, programs-if you need it, we'll help you design it.

Worried about ordering? Relax; our ordering process makes it simple. We are here for you in person, by phone or e-mail to help you along the way. Online previews allow you to create the perfect invitation and see before being printed. A final sample is mailed to you so you can see your invitations in person before final printing. We have many years of experience creating bridal invitations paired with years in the printing industry-that is experience you can trust!

We'd be happy to meet with you in person. Simply give us a call at (815-947-2878) to set up an appointment, though we work well over the internet also!

 

Frequently Asked Questions

 

How does it work?

To keep your cost down and keep the job a simple and efficient as possible, consult with us in person or through e-mail. Your designer will ask the right questions to help you choose the perfect combination of colors & styles. We love that we are one of the most cost effective suppliers of hand crafted invitations out there, but we also pride ourselves on being very detailed and avoiding those last minute fees you weren't expecting; so, you will first receive an estimate on your invitation choice. Following a 50% deposit and finalization of details a proof will be provided for your review. You will be giving the opportunity to make any last minute changes before printing.
 
If you want to print your invitations yourself, we can assist you with paper selection, supplies and etiquette.

How do I order and how long will it take?

If you are going to be in the area, please call for an appointment with one of our designers. Consultations are free and generally take about an hour. If you are interested in working with us and are unable to come to the studio give us a call and we can work with you over the phone and through e-mail. Once a design has been chosen and details finalized a sample will be provided for your review.
 
The design process will take the longest. Please consider contacting us at least three months before you actually want the invitations. If you are pressed for time we will do everything possible to accommodate your order.

How much are they?

Because the cost of paper fluctuates and each invitation is unique we only post price ranges. We ensure every request is answered in a timely matter but please be patient; we want to give you the most accurate estimate possible. Our prices are generally 30-40% off comparable invitations found online. Give us a call and begin your journey today.

How many should I order?

Because we print and assemble each invitation in our studio you may order the exact quantity you need. Please remember to double check your list and order an extra for your album.
