Frequently Asked Questions

Got a few questions? You're not alone.
Choosing your wedding stationery is such an exciting part of the planning process — but I know it can also come with a few “Where do we start?” moments.

This page is here to help with all the little things you might be wondering. You’ll find answers to the most common questions below — and if you still have something on your mind, don’t hesitate to get in touch — I’d love to hear from you.

Let’s make your journey to ‘I do’ feel as effortless as it is exciting.

How far in advance should I get in touch?

As soon as you’re ready! Many couples enquire 6–12 months before their wedding — and some even book over a year in advance to secure their spot. My calendar does fill up quickly, especially during peak wedding season, so the earlier, the better.

Your booking is officially secured once your deposit is paid, which saves your space in my design calendar.

Need something a little sooner? Rush orders are sometimes possible depending on availability, so don’t be afraid to reach out and ask — I’ll always do my best to accommodate!

Do I need to know exactly what I want before enquiring?

Not at all! Whether you’ve got a full Pinterest board or just a vague idea of colours, I’m here to guide you through the process. The consultation is the perfect time to explore options together and shape a vision that feels right for you.

How do I book, and what’s the process like?

Once you’ve enquired, you’ll receive my brochure with all the details and pricing guidance. Then, if you'd like to explore things further, you can book a relaxed phone consultation — it’s a lovely chance to talk through your ideas and see if we’re the perfect fit.

After our chat, I’ll create a completely bespoke quote based on your vision. If you’re happy to move forward, I’ll send over a booking form, contract, and invoice. Your 50% deposit secures your place in my design calendar, and then the real magic begins!

From there, we move into design, proofing, and finally print and delivery — and I’ll keep you in the loop every step of the way.

Do you offer on-the-day stationery too?

Yes! I design everything from welcome signs and seating charts to menus, order of service booklets, and place cards. Whether you’re keeping it minimal or want every detail to match, I’ve got you covered.

These can be booked as part of your full suite or separately closer to your wedding date.

How much does bespoke stationery cost?

Every couple is different, and so is every quote. It all depends on the number of items, finishes, printing techniques, and design complexity.

Once you enquire, you’ll receive my pricing brochure with guidance and examples — and after our consultation, I’ll send a bespoke quote tailored to your needs. No pressure, just options that work for you.

Do you ship internationally?

Absolutely. While I’m based in Northern Ireland, I work with couples all over the UK and beyond. International shipping costs will be outlined clearly in your quote, and your stationery will be carefully packed to arrive in perfect condition.

Do you offer digital versions?

Yes! Most of my couples choose professionally printed pieces, but if you need digital versions — for example, for destination weddings or extra RSVPs — I can certainly provide those too.

How long does the whole process take?

On average, the full design and production process takes 6–8 weeks — but it can vary depending on how many items you need, how quickly proofs are approved, and the time of year. I’ll always confirm timelines when you book, and keep things moving smoothly from there.

Can I order a sample before booking?

While I don’t offer one-off printed samples of your own design (due to the cost and setup involved), I’m more than happy to send you a sample pack featuring previous invitations. It’s a lovely way to experience the quality, paper types, and finishing touches I use.

There’s just a small charge to cover postage — simply get in touch and I’ll pop one in the post for you.

Do you offer discounts or package deals?

As each suite is completely bespoke and designed around you, I don’t offer fixed packages or blanket discounts at the moment. That said, if you’re ordering multiple pieces — such as save the dates, invitations, and on-the-day stationery — I always try to offer the best value possible and make the process feel easy and seamless.

I’m also in the process of creating curated package options for on-the-day stationery like menus, signage, and place cards — so if that’s something you’re interested in, just let me know! I’d love to keep you in the loop as those become available.

How many invitations should I order? Is there a minimum?

Yes — my minimum order is 10 invitations. Smaller quantities are absolutely possible, but just a little note: due to setup costs, they can work out a bit higher per unit than larger runs.

If you're planning an intimate celebration, I’d love to help — just reach out and we’ll find an option that works beautifully for your day.

When it comes to how many to order, I always recommend one per household or couple, (don’t count per guest!). It’s also a good idea to order a few extras for keepsakes, last-minute additions, or flat-lay photos on the big day.

Do I need to include my wedding colours in the invitations?

Not at all — you absolutely don’t have to! While some couples love to tie their stationery into their wedding palette, it’s by no means a rule.

Every suite is designed from scratch, so whether you’re dreaming of soft romantic pastels, rich earthy tones, something totally unique — or you haven’t decided yet — I’ll tailor the design to suit your style, florals, and overall vibe.

Your invitations can be a perfect reflection of your colour scheme… or a beautifully timeless piece that stands on its own.

Can I include custom illustrations in my stationery suite?

Absolutely! Whether it’s a sketch of your venue, a floral motif inspired by your bouquet, or a pet cameo (yes, I’ve done those too!), I’d be delighted to incorporate custom illustrations into your suite. It’s a gorgeous way to add a truly personal touch.

Just let me know during your consultation — bespoke illustrations are quoted individually and added to your proposal based on the level of detail.

Do you offer guest name personalisation or envelope printing?

Yes! I offer guest name personalisation on invitations at no extra cost — it’s a lovely way to make each one feel thoughtful and unique to the person receiving it.

That said, not every couple chooses to include guest names on the invitation itself — and that’s completely okay. Some prefer to keep the design clean and elegant, and simply include names on the outer envelope instead. It’s entirely up to you and the look you’re going for.

If you’d like your envelopes pre-addressed with guests’ postal details, that can absolutely be arranged too for a small additional fee. It’s a beautiful touch (and a great time-saver!).

Can you print a design I’ve created myself?

I don’t offer print-only services for external designs, as I specialise in fully bespoke suites that are carefully crafted and professionally prepared for print from start to finish. This helps me maintain the highest quality and consistency across every piece I send out.

Can I book just invitations or just on-the-day stationery?

Yes — you're welcome to book either! Some couples come to me just for their invitations, while others need on-the-day pieces like welcome signs, menus, or seating charts — and both are absolutely fine.

If you’re after invitations only, I’ll guide you through the design, proofing, and print process to make sure everything’s perfect for sending to your guests.

And if you’re coming to me for on-the-day stationery only, I can still create something that beautifully complements your wedding aesthetic — even if you’ve worked with another designer for your invites. Everything I create is bespoke, so it’ll feel cohesive and thoughtfully styled, no matter when you jump in.

Of course, if you'd like to have everything designed in one place for a seamless look and feel from start to finish, that’s always an option too.

I’m not having a traditional wedding — can you still design for me?

Absolutely. Whether you’re eloping, hosting a destination celebration, planning a civil partnership or something totally outside the box, your story deserves to be told beautifully. Every love story is welcome here.
