Welcome back to the blog!

There is a new page for our semi-custom wedding invitations with a simpler way to check our pricing, add adornments, and purchase your invitations quickly!

Below, we’ve put together a blog post to help you understand what semi-custom wedding invitations are, who they work best for, and how they still can pull in your wedding aesthetic to your wedding invitations and set the tone for your big day.


WHAT ARE SEMI-CUSTOM INVITATIONS?

Semi-custom suites are wedding invitations that are already designed that you can choose from and can then be updated to include your wedding details and your color scheme. Our suites start with 4-piece suites to give you the option to add an extra card if you want to and if it fits your budget. Semi-custom wedding invitations are more budget-friendly than custom invitations without missing the personal interaction with a designer that cares about you and will work to make your invitations stunning!

Semi custom wedding invitations can be printed in letterpress or foil as well as digital printing.


BUDGET

Semi custom wedding invitations are more budget-friendly than fully custom invitations. As a designer, I love love love creating custom invitations but also have realized that it is possible to create a design that a lot of couples will love and can be modified to be unique to each couple.

Wedding invitations truly set the tone for your wedding day and our semi-custom collection can do so for a fraction of the cost of our custom design services.

Choosing a wedding invitation suite that is part of our semi-custom suites could save you up to $700! You avoid all design fees and can choose to add-on special touches if you’d like. Custom venue illustration, yes please! Vintage postage, check! There are so many ways to create the perfect wedding invitations for your big day even when ordering semi-custom. Your guests will never know they aren’t custom, we promise!


TIMING

Running late on ordering your wedding invitations? It might be a good idea for you to order something that is semi-custom in nature vs. custom. Often, our schedule can be full with custom design (on that note, it’s best to reach out 6-8 months before your wedding date for custom wedding invitation design!) but we are able to still give the attention needed for a semi-custom invitation suite.

We recommend that if you are 3-4 months out from your wedding to go this route unless you are willing to pay rush fees on custom design depending on our availability.

SIMPLICITY

Sometimes, you see something you love and you don’t have the time for the back and forth that custom design often requires. Planning a wedding can be really stressful and while we do our best to make the custom stationery process fun and enjoyable, semi-custom may be easier for someone who wants to check a task off their list without compromising on beautiful wedding invitations.

With the way our new semi-custom shop is setup, you can now go through, add everything you want to your cart and check out in 10 minutes! From there, we simply need your wedding information, desired colors and we will send a few options for you to choose from, and wah-lah, beautiful wedding invitations will be headed your way!


Overall, semi-custom wedding invitations will save you time, energy, and money! We’ve tried our best to design customizable wedding invitations that still look custom and will stun your wedding guests.
