Hot foil is a printing technique that uses heat, pressure, and metallic foil to create a shiny, pressed design on paper. It gives your stationery a luxe, tactile finish — think gleaming gold, soft satin white, or even holographic shine. Every piece is pressed by hand, so no two impressions are exactly the same.

At this time, I do not offer letterpress printing.

I occasionally take on print-only projects, depending on the scope and fit. If you’re a designer or have created your own artwork, I’d love to see what you’re working on. Reach out with the details and file specs, and I’ll let you know if it’s a good match for my press and process.

Personalized items (e.g., stationery sets) typically require a minimum of 2-4 weeks from the time of purchase.

Currently, I only ship within the U.S. If you’re located elsewhere and love what you see, feel free to reach out — I’m happy to see if an exception can be made.

Please note the turnaround time for business collateral and other custom non-wedding projects is 4-6 weeks. Here’s what to expect during that process:

1. Inquiry
Please start by filling out the contact form with your event details and stationery needs.

2. Design Brief
You’ll receive a tailored Design Brief — a curated moodboard and outline capturing your aesthetic, materials, and project details.

3. Contract + Deposit
Once you’re ready to move forward, you’ll sign a contract confirming the project scope and timeline, and pay the non-refundable deposit.

4. Design + Proofs
After your deposit is received, I’ll create digital proofs for review. You’ll have up to 3 rounds of revisions before approving your final design. Any additional revisions may incur a redesign fee.

5. Final Payment
The remaining balance is due once your design is approved and before printing begins.

6. Production + Delivery
Your stationery is produced, quality checked, and shipped to you with tracking.

All suites are available unassembled by default, but assembly can be added for an additional fee based on the quantity of your order. If you choose this option, I’ll handle the full suite prep — you just handle the addressing and the postage.

At this time, I do not offer mailing or postage services. All completed sets will be delivered to you for final mailing.

At this time, I don’t offer guest addressing or return address printing. Most clients choose to hand-address their envelopes or work with a local calligrapher. If you’re planning to do it yourself, I’ve written a helpful blog post on How to Address Your Wedding Invitations Elegantly + Correctly — a great place to start! I’m also happy to recommend a few tools or vendors if you’d like extra support.

Custom projects typically require a minimum of 4–6 weeks from the time your artwork is approved. However, final timelines may vary depending on the specific details of your project. The earlier you reach out with your ideas, the better!

Timelines can vary depending on your project. Here’s a general breakdown to help you plan ahead:

Design Time: For semi-custom suites, you’ll receive your first proof within 5 business days after I have all your details. From there, any possible revisions can take up to 3 business days (for each round of revisions).

Printing & Production: Once you have provided approval on your project, printing and production usually take around 4 weeks.

If you need your completed project in your hands sooner than 6 weeks, I may be able to accommodate a tighter turnaround with a rush fee. Just reach out and we’ll talk through your timeline.

One initial proof with 3 additional revisions or touch ups are provided for custom and semi-custom projects.

For custom projects, any additional changes can be made with a redesign fee of $100 each round.

To begin your custom project, a $300 non-refundable deposit is required to start the design process. Once your design is approved, the remaining balance is due in full before any materials are ordered or printing begins. Payment is accepted via credit card or online invoice.

If you’ve ordered a sample of a semi-custom suite or custom color swatches, $25 will be credited toward your total.

Please note: Final payment must be made within 14 days of design approval. If payment is not received by then, your project may be delayed or canceled.

A good rule of thumb is to order about 10–15% more invitations than the number of households on your guest list. (You’ll only need one invitation per household — not per guest — so start by counting mailing addresses, not individual people.)

For example, if you're mailing out 100 invitations, it’s recommended to order at least 110–115 to be safe.

Why the extras? Well, because: your photographer will want one for flat lays, your mom will want one for the scrapbook (maybe two), you might mess up an envelope or two (no judgment), a couple of guests will text you last-minute with “Hey, can we still come?” or you might get returned mail due to incorrect addresses. And let’s be honest, you’re gonna want to keep one forever.

Reordering custom stationery later can be costly and time-consuming — especially with hand-pressed printing methods — so padding your initial order is a smart move. Future you will thank you!

There are no minimum order requirements for semi-custom items, though ordering larger quantities is usually more cost-effective. Custom or fully personalized projects may require minimum order quantities based on materials and production needs.

Because each custom project is handmade and unique, I don’t offer physical samples of your exact suite before printing. Instead, you’ll receive detailed digital proofs to review and approve. If you want to experience the paper, envelopes, and foil finishes in person before committing, you can request custom color swatches. I also offer sample packs of the semi-custom collections that you can order separately. While not an exact match of your custom project, you’ll have a solid sense of the quality and tactile feel. Plus, when you order a sample pack or swatches, you’ll receive a $25 credit toward your final invoice if you book a custom wedding suite.

Yes! Sample suites are available for $25 and give you a feel for the paper, print impressions, and foil finishes in person. It’s the best way to see the magic of hot foil up close before making any big decisions.

Yes! Wording changes such as names, dates, phrasing, and other written details are totally welcome — that’s part of what makes it yours. Even paper, foil and envelope colors can be customized. However, the overall design and layout will stay the same.

Postage varies depending on the size, weight, and number of pieces in your suite — especially if you include extras like ribbon, wax seals, or thicker paper. Foil-pressed paper is already heavyweight, and when stacked with multiple cards (like an invitation, details card, RSVP card, and RSVP envelope), it can easily exceed the standard letter rate. I always recommend taking a fully assembled suite to the post office to have it weighed before purchasing stamps.

The general rule of thumb is to mail your invitations 6–8 weeks before your wedding or special event. If you're hosting a destination wedding or expecting a lot of out-of-town guests, you may want to send them a bit earlier. Save the dates can go out 6–12 months in advance to give everyone time to plan.

If your event falls near the holidays or the end of the calendar year, I recommend mailing your invitations even earlier than usual. With the increased volume of mail during that time, the chances of delays, damage, or lost pieces increase — and getting your invitations delivered safely and on time is always the goal.

It’s totally normal to feel a little overwhelmed — I get it! But don’t worry, I’ll guide you through each step. Start by thinking about the feeling you want to evoke — what do you want your guests to experience when they open your invitation? Then, browse the design guide to explore paper, foil, envelope, and embellishment options. (You’re not limited to what’s shown — it’s simply a starting point.) Once you're ready, fill out the contact form, and I’ll take it from there. We’ll move through the process together in clear, manageable steps. This should be fun, and I am so excited for you!
