Unique, out of the ordinary invitations are great Unique, out of the ordinary invitations are great and sooo much fun to design, but I'll always have a sweet spot in my heart for a classic and traditional design. There's a reason some things never go out of style - whether it's a little black dress, the perfect shade of red lipstick, or a perfectly typeset letterpress invitation, they all have a timeless aesthetic that will look classy, not dated, 20 years from now.⁠

The custom invitation design process doesn't have The custom invitation design process doesn't have to be scary or complicated! You can be as involved as you like: direct every last detail, or sit back and allow me to craft the design based on your preferences and selections.⁠
And the finished invitation doesn't have to be over the top or extravagant just because it's custom! To me, a "Custom" invitation is the one that fits you perfectly ♥️⁠

One of the all-time most popular designs in Banter One of the all-time most popular designs in Banter & Charm’s wedding collection is the Harmony invitation suite. This romantic and elegant design features a lace-like pattern pressed into the paper that is stunning, but also a huge source of confusion for many brides. What are the indentations in the paper? Can we change the texture design on the paper? How do you get that pattern pressed in the paper?⁠
⁠
Well, those “indentations” in the paper are called blind letterpress (also referred to as blind impress, blind deboss, embossing, or debossing). Learn more about this stunning printing technique in #theweddingstationeryguide ! (link in profile)⁠

One of the first questions brides often have is "h One of the first questions brides often have is "how much?" While that answer will vary a lot depending on what you're looking for before I can tell you "how much" one thing I absolutely need to know is how many invitations you need.⁠
So how do you figure that out? Head over to the blog to find out! (Spoiler alert: the number of invitations you need is NOT the same as the number of guests you're inviting)⁠

Have you ever opened an invitation, only to have a Have you ever opened an invitation, only to have all the little cards go everywhere (or just get left in the envelope without notice)? Don't do that to your guests! I love adding a belly band (or ribbon or twine or even thin copper wire) to hold all the pieces together!⁠
