CUSTOM DESIGN

Let us tell your unique love story.

Your invitation will set the tone of your event. With custom invitations you have the opportunity to collaborate with us to create something that is a piece of art you can cherish long after your wedding day. Our custom invitations invoke a feeling that clearly establishes the design for your day. We can carry that aesthetic throughout all your paper but also work with the other vendors you have entrusted to create a cohesive vision. We are devoted to creating something beautiful that you fall in love with and treasure for life.

Our custom clients typically spend $6,000-$45,000 on their stationery throughout the entire process and our pricing begins at $6,000. We are happy to provide you with an estimate but it’s best to have a range that we can work within. Due to the custom nature, the project typically evolves as we go. We will always keep you aware of costs and present a range of offerings. Christy, the owner and lead designer, only works with a handful of custom clients each year so it is best to book once you have secured your date.

FAVORITES FROM THE PAST

THE PROCESS | CUSTOM SUITES

  • I. CONSULTATION

    The first step in our invitation journey is to set up a time to chat or meet in-person. We will talk about what you are looking for in a suite, your color story, styles you love and what the overall feel is for wedding day. Feel free to bring any inspiration, Pinterest boards with you to help us gain insight as to what you want your wedding day to feel like.

  • II. PROPOSAL & CONTRACT

    Once we have an idea of what you are looking for, we will create a proposal for you to review. Once you approve your estimate we will send you an invoice for your deposit as well as a link to your portal. Here you will be able to access all your documents and proofs in one place. We require a 50% non-refundable deposit to begin the design process with the final balance due once we send to press. After we have received your deposit and signed contract we will upload your timeline to review. The timeline will keep us on track throughout the process. Please keep in mind, if you are late responding per the timeline it may delay your pickup date. I will also send you some sample documents to help with your choice of wording for your pieces. We will ask you to fill out a questionnaire to give us all your wording for your invitation and other pieces so we can get started on your designs.

  • III. DESIGN

    Once we have all the information from you we will design your invitation. Papertree will send you a proof of a design direction to review. If you don’t love anything, please let us know. We will be happy to send some more options...we want our couples to fall in love with their invitation suite and will not settle for less.

  • IV. PROOFING

    We are happy to order samples of embellishments, envelopes, or any other materials to meet with you again to review everything before we send to press.

  • V. FINAL APPROVAL

    Once you are madly in love with your invitation suite we are ready for printing! We will ask you to approve your proof by signing your approval form. It is VERY IMPORTANT to proofread all the pieces in your suite. We are not responsible for any errors after the suite is approved and in production. We will also send you a final invoice at this time. Once we are all set we will ask for the remaining balance that is due and send your invitation off for final printing. We need a minimum of 6 weeks for suite production and 4 weeks for save the dates. Wedding day items will vary and we will create a timeline to stay on track.

  • VI. MAILING

    Once your suite is approved and back from the printer, we will send you a photo or video to get your blessing before we assemble and mail them.
