custom wedding invitations
For brides who want to be involved in the design, not the details.
You want to make sure every detail of your wedding reflects you as a couple.
Your invitations are where all of it begins.
timeless, polished,
unmistakably you.
Imagine holding your finished invitation for the first time:
And best of all, you didn’t lift a finger after clicking “approve”.
Every bow tied. Every address printed. Every stamp in place.
No dining table covered in envelopes. No line at the post office.
Just the quiet relief of a note that says: they’re in the mail.
Two to three months before the wedding, during the busiest stretch of planning, alongside dress fittings, tastings, showers, and bachelorette weekends,
Suddenly you’re looking at hours of assembling, stuffing, and stamping, at the exact moment you have the least time to give.
It’s time to mail your wedding invitations.
No one ever warned you how much work goes into getting your invitations from “finished” to actually in the mail.
That’s exactly why I handle it for you.

“I loved being able to give my input and then trust Sarah to handle everything else.
It was one of the few parts of wedding planning where I genuinely felt like I could just enjoy the process.”
How to get started
Share a few details about your wedding using the form below. Within 1–2 business days, your custom invitation proposal and initial design board will arrive in your inbox.
Your proposal includes three packages at different price points. Think of it as a starting point: you don’t need to decide on upgrades or design details yet. We’ll work those out together, and nothing is set in stone.
Select your package, sign your design agreement, submit your retainer, and you’re officially booked. Reserve your date with a $1,000 retainer; the remaining balance is divided into milestone payments.

1. Inquire
3. Book
Because “custom” shouldn’t mean coordinating it all yourself.
You could piece it together yourself: a designer here, a calligrapher there, your bridesmaids on assembly duty for a weekend you could have spent wine tasting.
And then the post office is out of the pretty butterfly stamps you planned to use, and you’re stuck putting bright red love stamps on your spring pastel invitation suite.
All this somehow lands in the same few weeks as your dress fitting, your shower, and every vendor’s “just checking in” email.
Or you could have one person handle all of it.
From your first design conversation to the moment your invitations hit the mailbox, every step stays in the hands of one designer who does this every day.
Because the real luxury isn’t the letterpress or the custom design. It’s not having to lift a finger after you click “approve”.

Because every suite is designed, assembled, and mailed in my studio, I take on a limited number of custom projects each season.
Invitations are best reserved 9–12 months before your wedding, with design beginning around 7 months out.
You don’t need to make a single decision to reserve your spot.
Semi-custom invitation suites start at $1,775 for 100, with the same thoughtful design and expert guidance.

Ready to hand off the paper side of wedding planning to someone who does this every day?
You don't need a fully formed vision to begin. That's what I'm here for.
Fill out as much as you know. “We’re not sure yet” is a perfectly good answer. Only the starred questions are required, and within 1–2 business days I’ll send a proposal tailored to your wedding, with advice on where to start.
Full-service custom invitations start at $4,500, with most couples investing between $6,000–$8,000 for a complete invitation suite including letterpress printing, finishes, postage, assembly, and mailing.
Reserve your date with a $1,000 retainer; the remaining balance is divided into milestone payments once design begins and at approval.
How much do custom invitations cost?
Custom invitations are best reserved 9–12 months before your wedding, with design beginning around 7 months out. Invitations are traditionally mailed 8–12 weeks before the wedding. You'll receive your keepsake suites before the guests' invitations are mailed.
Save the dates are best booked at least a year in advance.
When should I order wedding invitations, and when are they mailed?
That’s exactly where most couples begin, and what I’m here for.
You don’t need a mood board or a fully formed vision. We’ll start with a conversation about your wedding and what you love, and I’ll create a curated lookbook that brings your direction into focus.
What if I don’t know exactly what I want yet?
That’s completely normal.
Your proposal is based on an estimated quantity, and we’ll finalize guest counts, insert cards, and other details as your plans come together. You don’t have to have every answer before booking your project.
What if our guest count or invitation details change?
Yes. Non-machinable first-class USPS postage is built into your proposal, plus reply envelope postage if you choose mail-in RSVPs.
I plan for postage from the very first design conversation, so if a design choice would change your postage, you’ll know during design, not at the end. Vintage postage and protective tracked mailers are available as upgrades.
Is postage really included?
Semi-custom is a streamlined take on custom, with fewer decisions and a quicker process. Custom is fully designed around your wedding, and it includes assembly, postage, and mailing, so everything after your proof is taken care of.
Compare your traditional invitation options
What’s the difference between semi-custom and custom invitations?
Yes! Ordering a sample box is a great way to see and feel the paper, printing styles, and finishing details in person. Once booked, I can send additional samples that showcase the materials and colors we’ll use in your invitation suite.
You can also view my portfolio to see real couple’s wedding invitation suites.
Can we see samples of past work?

“Working with Banter & Charm was one of my favorite memories from wedding planning.”
Above all else, Sarah is a professional, and you know it immediately. She has a lovely process for brides who can’t meet in person, and provides such helpful insight as the process evolves. On top of that, she elevated my vision and gave me a keepsake that I will always treasure. Sarah is helpful, creative and so on top of it, I am grateful for her beautiful work!
