Custom Stationery
There are millions of invitation designs out there but you can’t always find what you want or need. Together we can make your vision a reality.
Whether you're in search of digital or letterpress, twine or silk ribbon, wax seals, watercolor touches, or vellum accents, rest assured that I'll locate the perfect elements to bring your dreams to life.
I believe perfection is possible.

The Wedding Process
Planning a wedding can be a stressful endeavor with its fair share of challenges.
However, when it comes to the stationery process, simplicity is my priority. My aim is to make the design process as hassle-free as possible, reducing your stress and ensuring a smooth experience.
Before we meet.
Please take a moment to complete my bridal questionnaire. It's important to be open and honest, as this information will be invaluable in creating your designs. A bridal Pinterest board is also helpful to show your likes and dislikes. Remember, the more I know, the better the final result!
The initial consultation.
We will discuss your wants, your needs, and your budget. We’ll ogle paper samples and color swatches and discuss the vision you have for your special day.
My job as a professional stationer is to work within your limits. If needed, I can offer cost-cutting ideas to assure we stay exactly where you are comfortable and create an invitation suite that is uniquely you.
“I had an idea of what I wanted, and Erin went above and beyond what I imagined it would look like! She must’ve replied to a dozen emails I sent her with questions, and was so nice and friendly. I’ll definitely do business with her again!”
— Jenny B.
Proposal. Contract. Timeline.
Based on our conversations, I’ll prepare a proposal, contract, and timeline. At that time a nonrefundable retainer will be due. Ideally we should start working on your custom wedding invitations at least 4-6 months before your wedding date.
Don’t have that kind of time? Feel free to still reach out there may be space in my calendar.
You can also browse my Collection where you’ll find unique suites that can be customized for your needs.
Proofing.
Now’s the fun part: I design and you relax! Feel free to email me at any time during the process. Some of my favorite clients have written at 3 a.m. because they had a great idea. Maybe it will work; maybe it won’t. But it could be the missing piece I need!
From there we’ll go back and forth with proofs making sure that the final outcome flawlessly captures the essence of your day. Once you are completely satisfied with the design, your final payment will be due, and your invitations will head to press!
The final product.
When your suites arrive, I’ll send you a sneak peek! If you have asked me to handle the assembly and/or mailing, I’ll get started and send them out to your guests. If you didn’t, I’ll box everything up and send them on their way to you!

Investment*
Just as every wedding is unique so is everything I create. A simple, digitally printed five-piece suite starts at $1,030 for 100 suites.
From there you can opt in for additional embellishments such as liners, wax seals or ribbon. As well as different printing processes like letterpress, thermography or embossing. I also offer different levels of assembly from DIY to ready-to-mail suites. Please keep in mind most wedding suites cost at minimum $.90 to mail, plus $.63 for the response postage, these are not included in my starting price.
An average EAlexDesigns client spends $476 for 100 save the date cards and envelopes.
An average EAlexDesigns client spends $554 for escort/place cards, table numbers and programs for 150 guests.
