CLASSIC & REFINED

expertly crafted stationery

that fits your style and matches your colors?

Yes, it does exist!

At Banter & Charm, I take a different approach to bespoke wedding invitations.

No more frustration over invitations that are almost what you’re looking for, or wondering how to make someone else’s idea of classic fit your vision.

Say goodbye to intimidating custom design processes and struggling to put into words the timeless style you’re envisioning.

bespoke wedding invitations

Every invitation in Banter & Charm’s wedding collection can be customized to perfectly suit your style. You can change the colors, fonts, wording, and paper – all at no additional cost! I also offer a variety of premium options like edge painting, calligraphy, and die-cut shapes.

But maybe you want an invitation design tailored specifically to your wedding location. You want an invitation design that is classy and timeless, but not ordinary. Perhaps you have a special size or shape in mind or would like to incorporate a symbol that represents a significant moment in your relationship. In that case, bespoke is the way to go!

Whether you choose a collection design or bespoke design, I will be working one-on-one with you to create the invitation of your dreams.

CUSTOM DESIGN PROCESS

We’ll start by getting to know each other. Tell me how you met and where you got engaged. Is the wedding going to be in a small chapel or a cathedral? Send me your pinterest boards* and magazine clippings, and I’ll mail you paper swatches and ribbon samples. We’ll collaborate to create a stunning paper suite tailor-made for you.
 

While I’d like to create bespoke wedding invitations for every couple, it’s a good idea to make sure our aesthetics match up first. My specialty is classic and traditional designs with elegant typography and minimal accents. Now that doesn’t mean I never step out of my comfort zone, but if you are looking for lifelike portraits or something with an ultra-modern vibe, we may not be a good match.

*I’d love to see any invitations that caught your eye, but I will not replicate another designer’s work.

In an era of evites and facebook events, your wedd In an era of evites and facebook events, your wedding invitations might be the first formal, printed stationery you’ve sent. So when it comes time to assemble them, it’s easy to feel lost! ⁠
Assembling your invitations can be as simple as stacking the pieces and stuffing the envelope or involve a glue gun and bow-tying skills. ⁠
I offer full or partial assembly services if any of this is more than you want to handle! Follow the link in my profile for some DIY assembly tips.⁠

Yesterday was an extra special day for my mom- not Yesterday was an extra special day for my mom- not just Mother's Day, but also her birthday! I can't imagine where I would be without her, and so much of what I do now is a direct result of the things she shared with me as a child. I have her to thank for my love of baking, interest in gardening, and do-it-yourself nature. I can't come close to being the artist she is, but I would never have picked up a paintbrush if she hadn't put one in my hand ♥️ Hopefully I can pass down some of these traits to my own children!⁠

There is something so romantic about silk ribbon! There is something so romantic about silk ribbon! Wedding invitations can be wrapped up with a bow, making your guests feel like they’re opening a present when they get your invitations in the mail. But maybe you’re not the bow type – or it’s just a little too feminine for your fiance. No worries! I have some fun ideas for ways to use silk ribbon in your wedding stationery suite on my blog - link in profile.⁠
