When I ventured out on this creative journey I created this account so that I could share my passion (okay let’s be real, slight obsession) and help contribute to couples’ dream days ✨
I wasn’t sure what to expect, but things have unfolded in the best of ways. I sure am grateful to be here and am so thankful you are too. 🫶🏼
Now, tell me about yourself! What brings you to this little corner of the gram?!

There are always lots of questions when it comes to stationery and timelines.
When should I book my stationery designer? When should I send out Save the Dates? Invitations? What is an appropriate RSVP date?
All very important questions as a lot rides on this timeline! This little guide that I’ve drawn up will provide some helpful tips on the topic to make it easier on you. Feel free to save it for future reference!
As always, don’t hesitate to reach out using the link in my bio. I’d love to chat with you about your specific timeline and how we can get it just right with the perfect stationery for you and your special day.

*Please note: If you are looking for Day Of Stationery/Signage Only (no save the dates/invitations), it’s still best to reach out with more time to spare! If this is the case for you, inquiring to your stationery designer anywhere from 10 months to 5 months before the big day to secure your spot on their calendar would be my recommendation.*

New month, new timeline nudge 🗓️
Invitations | Mail these about 12 weeks before the big day.
✨ Set your RSVP deadline for 5 weeks before your wedding date to allow time for final counts.
Design time | We’ll begin your custom invitation design about 7 months before the big day.
Save the Dates | Mail these 6–10 months out. Hosting a destination wedding or expecting lots of travel? Lean closer to 10–12 months.

Throughout Julie and Todd’s design, we weaved in lamppost details as a nod to their first date outside the One and Only restaurant. Sparks flew, and at the end of the night, Todd gave Julie a sweet kiss on the Monroe Street corner under a lamppost.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Two years later, they celebrated their anniversary back at their first date location, where Todd proposed under this very lamppost. When we heard their story, we absolutely HAD to incorporate this unapologetically everywhere.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We loved how @letteredbyshi worked with us on this idea in the signage, invitation suite, match boxes, and napkins. This is how it works: you tell us your story, and we’ll make sure your wedding day represents it.

Paper that does more than sit pretty. It directs, welcomes, and completes the design and experience. From seating charts to menus and place cards, every piece is placed with intention.
