Within one business day, I'll send you a custom quote with a full pricing breakdown, helpful timeline information, and everything you need to decide if we're a good fit. There's no pressure or commitment required — it's just the beginning of the conversation. If you have questions, you can reply directly to the email, or use the link inside to schedule a quick call.
Not at all — that's what the process is for. If you know which design you love and have a rough guest count, that's plenty to get started. We'll figure out the rest together. Many couples come to me with a vibe or a color palette and no idea what a "suite" even includes — by the end of the process, every detail feels intentional and exactly right.
Invitation orders typically range from $1,950 to $4,500, depending on quantity, the items you choose, and any add-ons like envelope liners or wax seals. Every order is built à la carte, so you only pay for what you actually want. Once you submit an inquiry, I'll send you a custom quote with a full breakdown.
Most invitation orders take 4–7 weeks from start to finish — that includes design, printing, and shipping, but not mailing time. Invitations should reach guests at least two months before the wedding, so I'd recommend placing your order at least 3–4 months out to give yourself breathing room. The earlier, the better — especially during busy seasons. If you're working with a tighter timeline, ask about rush orders.
Yes, and I highly recommend it. Letterpress on handmade paper is one of those things you really have to hold to understand — the impression, the texture, the weight of it. Sample suites are available on Etsy so you can see the quality and colors in person before committing to a full order.
Calls are available after you've submitted an inquiry. That way, I have all your details in front of me and we can make the most of our time together — no starting from scratch. Once your inquiry is in, you'll receive a link to book a call at a time that works for you.
I keep my pricing as fair and transparent as possible, so I don't run regular sales or offer discounts on full invitation orders. The best way to stay in the loop is through my newsletter — if there's ever a sale, you'll hear about it there first. You can sign up at the bottom of any page on the website.

before you inquire
Each design's typography and layout have been carefully refined to work beautifully together — these elements stay consistent to preserve the integrity of the design. Think of it like choosing a wedding dress: you fall in love with the design as-is, and then we tailor it to feel completely yours. What you'll customize is everything that makes it personal: your colors, your wording, the pieces you include, and finishing touches like envelope liners and wax seals.
The first round of design proofs happens after you've placed your order and submitted your customization preferences — that's where you'll see everything come to life with your colors and wording. If you'd like to get a sense of how a particular palette looks before ordering, I'd recommend browsing the inspiration galleries or ordering a sample to see the paper and printing quality in person.
You're welcome to mix and match envelope liners, belly bands, and wax seals across designs. However, anything that includes a font — guest addresses, details cards, RSVP cards, paper belly bands — needs to stay consistent within your chosen design. Each collection has been thoughtfully designed with typefaces that work together, and mixing fonts across different designs would break that cohesion.
Absolutely — all colors are fully customizable. You can love the layout of one design and the color palette of another. Just note which colors or design you'd like to reference when you submit your customization preferences, and we'll make it happen.
Every order includes two full rounds of design revisions plus a final approval round — that's intentional, because getting it right matters more than getting it done fast. Most couples feel confident by round two, but if you need an additional round, that's always available for a small fee. You won't be stuck with something you don't love.
Yes — during the design process, you can adjust quantities, colors, wording, paper types, or add and remove items at any point before final approval. Any changes are simply reflected in your remaining balance, which is collected before we go to print. Once you've signed off on the final design, no further changes can be made. That's why I build in multiple rounds of proofs: so by the time we reach final approval, everything feels exactly right.
Yes — QR codes are available on details cards only. You'll need to provide a high-resolution file (EPS preferred) of your QR code, and I'll incorporate it into the design for you.

"Terra is such a hidden gem. The suites are the perfect way to get a super high-quality product at a reasonable price. And there are still options for customization. Would HIGHLY recommend."
Letterpress printing uses physical pressure to press your design directly into the paper, creating a tactile impression you can see and feel. It's an artisan process — every sheet is hand-fed through my antique press, one at a time. Digital printing applies ink to the surface of the paper, like a high-quality printer. It's flat to the touch, efficient, and ideal for items like details cards and envelope liners. Main invitations and RSVP cards are always letterpress or foil — that's where the craftsmanship lives.
Main invitations and RSVP cards are exclusively letterpress or foil printed. The texture and thickness of the handmade paper doesn't lend itself to digital printing — and letterpress is what makes these invitations feel the way they do. Digital printing is available for details cards, guest addresses, and envelope liners, where it delivers beautiful, consistent results.
Invitations and RSVP cards are printed on luxury handmade paper at approximately 250 GSM — thick, substantial, and beautifully tactile. Because each sheet is made by hand, you may notice subtle variations in thickness, edge shape, and texture. These aren't flaws — they're the hallmark of something genuinely made by hand, one sheet at a time. Details cards are printed on 110# cardstock.
RSVP cards measure approximately 3.5" × 5", printed on the same luxury handmade paper as the main invitation. Because the paper is handmade, edges may vary slightly — that natural variation is part of the charm. Orientation (vertical or horizontal) depends on the design; you can check the photos for your chosen design or reach out and I'll confirm.
Details cards are digitally printed on 110# cardstock — the handmade paper is sized specifically for invitations and RSVP cards, so it doesn't align with details card dimensions. A great workaround: order an RSVP card (same handmade paper, same size) and customize the text to serve as a details card instead.
Seeded paper is handmade paper embedded with wildflower seeds — after the wedding, guests can plant their invitation in soil, water it, and watch wildflowers grow. It's one of my favorite things we offer. The paper comes with its own beautiful imperfections: seeds visible in the sheet, subtle texture variations, and the same deckled edge as our classic paper. All seeded and classic handmade papers are the same price.
Yes — whether you choose classic or seeded paper, and regardless of color, all handmade paper options are priced the same. No upcharges for going the sustainable route.

paper and printing
Every order starts with a main invitation and envelope as the foundation — those are required. From there, it's entirely à la carte. You can add RSVP cards, details cards, envelope liners, wax seals, belly bands, vintage stamps, and more. You only pay for what you actually want. If you change your mind during the design process (before final approval), you're always welcome to add or remove items.
Keep in mind that you're sending one invitation per household, not per person — so your invitation count is typically 60–75% of your total guest count. I also recommend ordering 15% extra to cover any last-minute additions to your list and to keep a few as keepsakes. It's much easier to add to your order upfront than to reprint a small quantity later.
The minimum order is 20 invitations. Letterpress involves significant setup time and upfront preparation, so smaller quantities aren't feasible for the studio. Many letterpress printers require minimums of 50 or more — the 20-invitation minimum is my way of making this accessible to smaller weddings while keeping quality where it needs to be.
Most invitation orders take 4–6 weeks from start to finish: about 2–4 weeks for design (including proofs and revisions), and around 2 weeks for printing. Shipping adds another 2–5 business days. Timelines move faster when feedback and guest addresses come in promptly — the quicker you respond, the quicker we move. Rush orders are also available if you're working with a tighter window.
Rush orders are available for an additional $295, subject to availability. With rush service, you're moved to the front of the line for both design and production — meaning faster design turnarounds and printing completed in 7–10 days instead of the standard 2 weeks, bringing the overall timeline down to roughly 2–4 weeks. The fee doesn't include expedited shipping, but that can be arranged separately. Reach out to check current availability.
Guest addresses are due before final approval — typically 1–2 weeks after you place your order. I'll send you a reminder during the design process so nothing catches you off guard. The sooner your list is ready, the smoother everything runs. Once submitted, please make sure it's finalized — updates made after submission won't automatically sync on my end.
I have a template ready for you here — it includes instructions and formatting guidance inside the document. Once it's complete and finalized, just email it over. Addresses will be printed exactly as they appear on your list, so please review carefully before submitting.

ordering and timeline
Your invitations arrive carefully organized, with each item bundled separately — main invitations together, envelopes together, and so on. Any wax seals, belly bands, or envelope liners will come pre-assembled. From there, you'll add postage, stuff and seal the envelopes, and mail them yourself. It's a bit of a labor of love, but most couples find it a meaningful part of the process.
All orders ship via UPS Ground, which typically takes 1–5 business days. Expedited options — UPS Three-Day Select, 2nd Day Air, and Next Day Air — are available upon request. Since shipping cost depends on the final weight of your order, I won't have exact pricing until everything is packed. Just let me know you're interested in an upgrade at any point during the process and I'll make a note.
Yes — international shipping is available. Costs vary depending on your order size and destination. If you include your location when you submit an inquiry, I'll include an estimated shipping quote in your project proposal. It's a baseline estimate that may shift slightly as your order details are finalized, but it'll give you a solid sense of what to expect.
I'd always recommend taking a finished invitation to your local post office to confirm — rates and requirements can vary. That said, plan for at least a Forever stamp plus an extra ounce stamp (or a two-ounce stamp that covers both). For peace of mind, two Forever stamps will almost always cover you. Once your invitations ship, I'll send along a helpful mailing guide with postage tips and next steps.
Yes — our wax seals are flexible and designed to go through postal machines without issues. Some post offices may suggest non-machinable postage (an extra surcharge), but unless you specifically want hand-cancelling, I'd recommend getting a second opinion. In most cases, you won't need the additional charge. As always, taking a finished invitation to the post office before your full mailing is the best way to confirm.

shipping and mailing
Pricing is based on quantity, the items you choose to include, and any add-ons. There are no hidden fees — what you see is what you get. Once you submit an inquiry, I'll send a custom quote with a full line-item breakdown based on your specific selections.
A 25% non-refundable deposit is required to reserve your spot and begin the design process. The remaining balance is due at final approval, just before we go to print. If your order changes during the design process — quantities adjusted, items added or removed — the final invoice will reflect those updates.
Because every order is custom-made for you, refunds and exchanges aren't something I'm able to offer. The 25% deposit is non-refundable — it covers the design work and time reserved for your project. If you need to cancel before printing begins, no additional payment is owed beyond the deposit. That's why I build in multiple approval rounds before we ever go to press — so you feel fully confident before that point arrives.
I keep pricing as fair and transparent as possible, so I don't regularly run sales or offer discounts on full invitation orders. The best way to stay in the loop is through my newsletter — if there's ever a promotion, subscribers hear about it first. You can sign up at the bottom of any page on the website.
