Where options feel intentional, not endless
You want wedding stationery that feels personal without starting from scratch. But once you start looking at fonts, patterns, crests, and paper options, it’s easy to wonder:
Is this too much?
Is this not enough?
Will everything actually work together?
That’s where Styling Guides come in.

So what exactly are styling guides?
You’ve probably heard of a capsule wardrobe: a small collection of pieces chosen so well, everything works together effortlessly.
Styling Guides follow that same philosophy. Each suite includes a thoughtfully selected set of presentation details designed to coordinate seamlessly. So you can combine with confidence, knowing nothing will clash or feel overdone.
View your favorite invitation collection and click on "customize it" to see the styling guide.
Each guide offers a curated set of design elements that have been tested, paired, and refined to work beautifully together. So you’re not stuck making endless decisions, but you still get an invitation suite that feels undeniably “you.”

The freedom to personalize, and guidance when we needed it.
Sarah made it easy to feel confident in every decision, and our invitations ended up feeling completely “us” and even more beautiful than I could have imagined.
shapes the story
Fonts are more than pretty letters: they shape the tone, style, and feel of your entire invitation.
But what if you don’t 100% love the script featured in your favorite invitation collection? No problem!
Your Styling Guide has suggestions for alternate scripts that work seamlessly with the layout.
typography
• Use a floral crest on your wedding invitation
It’s a subtle way to carry your style through every piece of your wedding paper without overdoing it.
• Pull a smaller flower from that crest for your RSVP or reception card
• Place a border on your menus or thank you notes using the same florals from the crest
The borders, crests, and illustrations in each collection are designed to complement one another without competing. Styling Guides offer additional options that make your suite feel cohesive not repetitive.

Letter Styles
Add a Crest
Choose from classic or modern letterforms, pair them with a floral, laurel, or ornamental crest, and carry the design through your entire suite for a look that’s cohesive without being overly coordinated.
Each Styling Guide includes a variety of crest designs that pair perfectly with Banter & Charm’s signature letter styles, or let the initials stand alone for a traditional look.

The Extra Touches That Make It Yours
While the Styling Guides include plenty of ways to personalize your suite, you may want something that has a special meaning to you as a couple.
That’s where custom illustrations come in. Use them in place of, or alongside, the illustrations or monograms shown in any collection.
Venue Drawings
Whether it’s a hometown chapel, a grand cathedral, or a villa in Italy, I’ve designed venue sketches for brides across the country.
If you’re getting married at one of the featured venues, you can use the existing sketch at no extra cost (just ask for the list!). If not, commission a custom pen-and-ink illustration of your ceremony location.
Custom Artwork
Your venue isn’t the only thing worth illustrating. From the oak tree where you’ll exchange vows to a sketch of your dog for your signature drink sign, custom artwork is a beautiful way to add personality to your suite.
Whether it’s a favorite landmark, a vintage car, or something sentimental, we’ll style the illustration to coordinate with your invitation design so it feels intentional, not random.
Have something meaningful in mind? Just ask and I’ll help you find the perfect place for it.

She was so patient, flexible, gracious, and kind through the entire process.
I cannot say enough good things about Sarah! My wedding package (invitations, favor tags, thank you cards, programs, etc.) are gorgeous! I have received so many compliments on them!
