Semi-Custom Wedding Invitations: A Personalized Experience Without Starting From Scratch

We love making invitations for June weddings as many of these incorporate beautiful flower imagery. One of our favorite designs is the Modern Garden invitation suite. We had the pleasure of customizing this design for Nicole and Ross's June wedding at the Burr Mansion in Connecticut (happy first anniversary!).

We specialize in semi-custom wedding invitations. Our passion is letterpress printing beautiful paper goods using our antique presses and premium cotton paper. Our clients are drawn to the elegance of this historic printing method and the understated sophistication it brings to their wedding style.

The couples we collaborate with are creative and want to personalize their wedding invitations to reflect their style and the feel of their celebration. At the same time, they're busy juggling careers, wedding planning and other obligations. They may know what they like but aren't quite sure where to begin or have the vocabulary to describe it. Our semi-custom process offers the creative collaboration of custom wedding invitations without requiring couples to start from a blank page. They can begin the design process by selecting a design from our collection that resonates. It may be the typography—a traditional, modern, or somewhere-in-between style. Other times it's the imagery—something inspired by a garden celebration or a wedding by the sea. From there, we collaborate to select illustrations, recommend ink colors that complement the event aesthetic, and identify thoughtful details that make the wedding invitation suite feel personal and unique, like the disco ball on the timeline card in Nicole and Ross's suite pictured above.

Throughout the collaboration process, we're always thinking about how to make a couple's life easier so they can enjoy this special engagement season, how we can help their wedding planning process and how we can we help them express the genuine care they feel for the friends and family they're inviting to celebrate with them. Couples put an incredible amount of thought into every detail of their wedding day. That care reflects the gratitude they feel for the people sharing this special occasion. We prioritize listening carefully and working closely with each couple to ensure the finished suite reflects that sentiment. We want guests to open their mailbox, discover a beautifully handmade letterpress wedding invitation, and immediately feel that their presence is important and genuinely valued.

If you're looking for wedding invitations that feel personal without starting from scratch, we'd love to help you customize one of our semi-custom letterpress invitation designs!

June 4, 2025

Wedding day stationery helps guide your guests through your various wedding events from the ceremony to cocktails, menus, and seating arrangements. Creating a consistent look that reflects your invitation design enhances the decorative elements of your wedding decorations and decor. We worked with Olivia and Griffin's wedding planner, Nina Moore, to create the perfect programs, cocktail signs, table and escort cards, and personalized menus for a seamless celebration.
