PERSONAL
GUIDANCE

Wedding stationery should never feel overwhelming. From etiquette questions to wording decisions and final proofs, I’ll guide you through every step—so you can enjoy the process with confidence instead of wondering if you’re missing something.

TAILORED TO
YOUR CELEBRATION

No two celebrations are exactly alike, and your stationery shouldn’t be either. Every suite is refined with your names, wording, colors, and finishing details to create something that’s distinctly your own.

HEIRLOOM
CRAFTSMANSHIP

The smallest details often become the most memorable. From luxurious papers to heritage printing methods, every piece is created with the intention of becoming a keepsake long after the celebration has ended.

FINISHED BY
HAND

Each suite is carefully assembled by hand in our Ohio studio, where ribbons are tied, wax seals are placed, and every final detail is checked with the same care I would give my own wedding invitations.

BEAUTIFULLY
DELIVERED

From carefully wrapped ribbon to the final inspection before shipping, every order leaves our studio expertly finished and ready for its journey to you.

THE CUSTOM EXPERIENCE

Created exclusively
for your story.

Every author begins a new story with a blank page.

Some couples come with lots of inspiration. Others simply know how they want their wedding to feel. Both are the perfect place to start.

Wherever you fall, we’ll create a direction together. Whether that means refining your vision or building one from the ground up.
From artwork and typography to paper, printing, and finishing details, every decision is shaped around your celebration.

Every custom suite is built one decision at a time. These are just a few of the creative elements we’ll explore together.

INQUIRE WITH ALAYNA

The Details that Make the Difference

Luxury is rarely defined by a single detail.
It’s the quiet accumulation of exceptional materials, artisan printing, and refined finishing touches that creates an experience guests remember.

CRAFTED TO BE KEPT

The most meaningful invitations are rarely thrown away. They’re tucked into memory boxes, pressed between the pages of wedding albums, and rediscovered years later. Created with heirloom materials and artisan printing, your stationery becomes more than an announcement, it becomes part of your family history.
THE LETTERPRESS DIFFERENCE

The way your invitation is printed changes everything. Letterpress creates a deep, tactile impression that can be felt with every touch, while premium digital printing offers crisp detail and rich color for beautifully intricate designs. Each collection is paired with the printing method best suited, creating a finished suite that’s cohesive from beginning to end.
FINE PAPER

Exceptional paper is the foundation of every invitation suite. We select premium cotton stocks with substantial weight and a soft, tactile finish that immediately communicates quality. Before a single word is read, your guests have already experienced something worth remembering.
SIGNATURE FINISHING TOUCHES

The smallest details often leave the greatest impression. Hand-tied ribbon, wax seals, vellum wraps, and envelope liners transform an invitation into an experience, encouraging guests to slow down and savor each layer. Before the invitation is even unfolded, the experience has already begun.
THE FIRST IMPRESSION

Long before your guests arrive on your wedding day, they’ll receive an envelope in the mail. Coordinated envelopes, guest addressing, and a cohesive presentation create an introduction that’s every bit as memorable as what’s inside. That first delivery quietly sets expectations for everything that follows.
DESIGNED AS ONE COMPLETE STORY

An invitation suite is never just one card. It’s a collection of carefully composed pieces, each designed to complement the next. Together, they create a seamless presentation that unfolds as one complete story.

YOUR INVITATION JOURNEY

From “Yes” to
Your Mailbox

Every invitation begins with a simple decision and ends with a finished suite in your hands. Along the way, you’ll always know what comes next through clear communication and a well-defined process, allowing you to enjoy the journey as much as the finished piece.

01

RESERVE YOUR DATE

Every custom project begins with an inquiry. We’ll talk about your wedding, timeline, guest count, and overall vision to ensure we’re the right fit for one another. Once you’re ready to move forward, a design retainer reserves your place on my design calendar so I can dedicate the time and attention your project deserves.

02

WE DISCOVER YOUR VISION

Before a single sketch is created, we’ll spend time getting to know your wedding. You’ll complete a detailed design questionnaire and share inspiration such as Pinterest boards, floral ideas, fashion, architecture, meaningful places, color palettes, or anything else that reflects your vision. The more I understand what inspires you, the more intentional your invitation suite becomes.

03

CREATIVE DIRECTION

Using everything we’ve gathered, I’ll begin developing the creative direction for your suite. You’ll receive carefully curated mood boards, typography pairings, color palettes, paper recommendations, and concepts for custom elements like venue illustrations, monograms, maps, or crests. We’ll make sure we’re completely aligned before moving into the full invitation design.

04

REFINE EVERY DETAIL

Once the design direction has been approved, I’ll create your first digital proof. Together we’ll refine the layout, wording, spacing, guest experience, and finishing details through collaborative revisions until every element feels polished and complete. Nothing moves into production until you’re completely confident in the final design.

05

BRING IT TO LIFE

After final approval, your invitation suite enters production using artisan printing methods chosen specifically for your design. Once printing is complete, every piece is assembled by hand with the papers, ribbon, wax seals, and finishing touches we’ve selected together before being carefully packaged and shipped to you, ready to welcome your guests.

PLANNING AHEAD?

Thoughtful Timing for
a Seamless Experience

A little planning goes a long way.

Below is a recommended timeline to help you plan your stationery with confidence.

RESERVE YOUR
DATE

When should I inquire?

To ensure plenty of time for collaboration and production, we recommend inquiring 8–12 months before your wedding. This allows us to thoughtfully develop your stationery, refine every detail, and complete printing and assembly well before your invitations are ready to mail.

MAIL YOUR
INVITATIONS

When should I send my stationery?

Save the Dates are typically mailed 6–8 months before your wedding, or 8–12 months in advance for destination celebrations.

Invitations are traditionally mailed 8–12 weeks before your wedding. If many of your guests are traveling or your celebration falls during a holiday weekend, sending them a little earlier is always a thoughtful idea.

FROM PROOF
TO PRINT

What happens after I approve my proof?

Once your final proof has been approved, your suite begins its journey from screen to paper. Every piece is printed, carefully inspected, hand assembled, and thoughtfully packaged before arriving at your doorstep. Taking the time to perfect each stage ensures your invitations feel just as beautiful in your hands as they did in your imagination.

Your questions, answered.

Every custom project begins with a inquiry. We’ll start by learning about your wedding, gathering inspiration, and establishing a creative direction before moving into digital proofs. Once every detail has been approved, your suite is professionally printed, assembled, and delivered ready to welcome your guests. Throughout the process, I’ll guide you through each step so you always know what comes next.
Nearly every aspect of your invitation suite can be tailored to your wedding. From custom monograms and venue illustrations to paper, ink colors, envelope liners, ribbon, wax seals, and finishing details, we’ll create a suite that reflects your vision from beginning to end.
You don’t need to have every decision made before reaching out. Part of my role is helping you discover what fits your wedding best. Through our conversations, creative direction, and collaborative design process, we’ll narrow down ideas together until the overall vision feels clear and cohesive.
Your investment includes multiple rounds of revisions, giving us the opportunity to refine your suite together before it moves into production. We will never rush the process, and make sure every detail has been reviewed with confidence before printing begins.
Yes! Many custom suites include original elements such as venue illustrations, monograms, crests or other artwork created exclusively for your wedding. During our creative direction phase, we’ll determine which custom details best complement your overall vision.

Curated Collections begin with one of our six signature designs and offer a streamlined experience with personalized details. Custom Design starts with a blank page, allowing us to create a completely bespoke invitation suite inspired by your unique vision, venue, and celebration. Both experiences include the same commitment to exceptional craftsmanship, personal guidance, and luxury materials.
I recommend inquiring 8–12 months before your wedding, especially if your suite includes custom artwork or multiple printing techniques. Beginning early allows plenty of time for design, revisions, production, and guest mailing without feeling rushed.
Yes! I offer guest addressing along with coordinating pieces such as save the dates, rehearsal dinner invitations, welcome party stationery, menus, place cards, seating charts, signage, and other day-of details, creating a cohesive experience from the first envelope to the last place setting.
As involved as you’d like to be. I’ll guide the creative process and present thoughtful recommendations while inviting your feedback at each major milestone. You’ll review and approve the creative direction, digital proofs, and final design before anything moves into production.
Your digital proofs are designed to accurately represent the layout, wording, and overall design of your suite. Because letterpress, foil, and fine paper are tactile printing methods, subtle variations in color, texture, and impression are a natural part of the finished piece—and one of the qualities that make artisan printing so distinctive.

Entirely Your Own.

You’ve spent time imagining your wedding. Now let’s create an invitation suite that reflects it from the very
