Pricing

Semi-custom pricing is transparent and calculated in real time in the Studio Edition shop.

Select your collection, quantity, paper weight, and printing style and your price updates automatically as you choose. You always know exactly what you’re investing before you even add anything to your cart.

No proposals, no waiting, no surprises.

Not quite. Most online retailers give you a template, a text box, and a checkout button. The Studio Edition gives you a curated collection of classic designs, a styling guide that guarantees every combination coordinates beautifully, and one-on-one support from an experienced designer at every step. You’re never left to figure out alone.

Isn’t this the same as ordering online from any other invitation company?

Every Studio Edition package includes five pieces: invitation, reply card, insert card, envelopes with guest and return address printing, and your choice of embellishment pairing. 
Colors, wording, and design elements can be customized using your collection’s Styling Guide.

What’s included in a Studio Edition semi-custom invitation suite?

Studio Edition pricing is transparent and calculated at checkout: select your quantity, printing style, and finishing details and your price is calculated automatically. No proposals, no waiting, no surprises. Flat print suites start at $1550 and letterpress suites start at $2700 for 100 invitations.

How much do semi-custom wedding invitations cost?

Absolutely! A sample pack lets you experience the papers, printing methods, and finishing details in person before committing to a direction. There is nothing quite like holding a letterpress invitation on cotton paper to know whether it is right for you. And for most brides, it is the moment the decision becomes easy.

Can I see samples before I decide?

Most Studio Edition orders are ready in as little as 6-8 weeks from the time you submit your wording, design details, and address spreadsheet. Orders that include specialty finishes or assembly may require additional time.

How long does it take?

Every Studio Edition order includes detailed instructions for assembling your suite along with postage and mailing tips so you know exactly how to put everything together and get it out the door without any guesswork. If you’d prefer to hand off that step entirely, assembly is available as an add-on.

Do you offer assembly?

Yes! Every Studio Edition collection includes coordinating save the dates, and most include wedding day paper options like menus, programs, and place cards. Designing your full paper story from one collection keeps everything cohesive without any extra effort on your end.

Do you offer matching save the dates and day-of stationery?
