Save the Date Suites • Wedding Invitation Suites • Day-Of Stationery
Our typical client spends a minimum of $35,000 on save the dates, wedding invitations, and day-of stationery. However, the total investment can be lower or higher, depending on the complexity of your suite, materials, and other details. All our wedding stationery includes custom design, full letterpress printing, assembly, trackable mailing & other additions.
Please allow 5-6 months from your mail-out date to plan & design your save the dates. Please allow 7-8 months from your mail-out date to design & plan your invitations. It’s best to book with Iris + Marie at least a year or a year and a half from your wedding date.
We mail save the dates 8 months to a year prior to your wedding date, & we mail invitations 12-16 weeks before your wedding date.

Process & Timeline
-
The adventure begins when you submit that form above and schedule a Dream Meeting with me. We’ll meet for an hour (or two) and play with the possibilities for your day. What does your dream stationery suite look like? What’s your style? Who are you and your partner as individuals, and what’s your identity as a couple? All of these little details layer together to build the vision for your stationery suite, which I’ll present to you as a mood board with an accompanying price quote. a $500 Proposal Fee is required before moving onto the next step. The Proposal Fee secures your date on my calendar.
-
You’re head-over-heels for the mood board, signed the contract, paid the 50% retainer, and now I really get to dig in. Color palette selection. Sketching. Painting. Sourcing. This is the fun part of wedding planning! I’ll show you my ideas and get your thoughts before developing a final proof, and once it’s approved, I’ll begin making your suite come to life.
-
It’s time for me to get busy printing & producing your stationery. So many hands will touch your wedding suite before it’s done, between the artisans who make the paper and collect the stamps, to my own work drawing custom illustrations, mixing inks, printing the final designs, and compiling the suite. I wish I could see the look on your face when you open your mailbox and receive your bundle of happiness!
The magic of getting married isn’t just in planning your dream day... it’s in having your friends and family experience one of the most special moments of your life.
That’s why inviting your wedding guests shouldn’t just be a thing to cross off your to-do list, but a moment worthy of thought and intention. Your wedding stationery is more than just invitations, but a visual of your love story; an opportunity to have some fun while wedding planning; and a tiny work of art for each guest — a keepsake they can treasure forever.
“Creating our wedding stationery was one of our favorite parts of wedding planning! Each of our guests received a one-of-a-kind piece of art in the mail, and now our stationery suite is a treasured memory that is framed in our home. To this day, we have friends and family who talk about our carefully curated invitations.”
