This will help you navigate our Semi-Custom and Bespoke processes and the customization options available. Please read and refer to this guide while preparing to submit your invitation order.
Printing Methods
Digital
The design is laser printed onto the card using colored ink. Great for medium-dark ink tones and works well on lighter colored cards. Alternatively, white ink digital printing may be used on dark stocks. This method is the most economical, and has the quickest turnaround.
Paper Types
Cardstock
Our 110lb cardstock paper is our preferred paper of choice for digital printing and features clean, smooth edges with a matte, softly textured finish. We highly recommend using it to affordably add pops of color.
Extras
Embellishments
Enhance your suite with various adornments for a luxury feel. Elements like a wax seal, silk ribbon, belly band, and vellum jacket add tactility to bring your suite to life. Custom visuals like a monogram or venue illustration add a personal touch that's unique to you.
