Handmade Invitation Card/Envelope - Lucca Collection

Because of the nature of handmade paper, our off-white handmade paper is only compatible with letterpress printing, and IS NOT an exact color match for our off-white standard (non-handmade) card stock. Handmade paper edges may also be irregular (not completely perpendicular, or with 90 degree corners).

Please note that our envelopes are NOT handmade, and will be in a slightly larger size than the handmade paper in order to accommodate the irregularity of the delicate deckled edges.

1. ORDER

Explore our Collections and select the cards with the layout which speaks to your aesthetic the most. Font changes can be made between Collections by leaving a note at checkout (for example: substituting the fonts from the Tivoli Collection for all items in your order).

Next, add pieces and embellishments to your cart to complete your suite.

Within 15 minutes after placing your order, you will receive an email with next steps, including wording questionnaires and spreadsheet formatting guides. We are available to assist with etiquette and formatting questions for all items in your order.

2. DESIGN

Your design will be professionally typeset and a proof sent to the email used at checkout. This proof will include a mock-up of your full design with all colors, wording, and embellishments so that you can better envision the final product and how everything will come together.

3. REVISIONS

After reviewing your first proof, you can choose to make changes, or approve your design and send everything into production. Your order includes one full round of revisions to your wording and colors.

Additional changes beyond this round will incur an Additional Proof fee.

4. PRODUCTION

Once your proof has been approved, we will send everything into production. Nothing will be printed without this final approval.

Your Invitation Card is the central piece of your Invitation Suite. On top of being the first impression of your wedding style/tone that you'll leave guests with, it includes more practical information such as: who is hosting, who will be married, when they will be married, and where they will be married.

Invitation Card (5 x 7 inches)

Envelope (5.25 x 7.25 or 5.5 x 7.5 inches) with digital return address printing on the flap

how many to order

We recommend ordering 10-15 more than is on your address list, in case of any lost/damaged/returned pieces in the mail, or last-minute guest additions. Please note that the quantity that you need to mail is not the same as your guest count, as multiple guests may live in one household.

What to include in your suite

It is essential that you have an accurate count of how many guests will attend your wedding. We suggest including information on how guests can submit a response (either via a website URL that you include on an Info/Details Card, or a Response Card + Envelope that guests can mail in) on whether they will/will not be attending.

In addition to including response information, we suggest adding one or more Info/Details Cards with additional information such as your website URL, accommodations, weekend events, and reception or ceremony details.

Wording assistance

We provide wording assistance to our Ready-Made Collections clients. Within 15 minutes after your purchase, you will receive an email including questionnaires for us to collect your wording content.

When to mail your suite

We suggest mailing your Invitation Suite 2 months ahead of your wedding date. If the majority of your guests will be traveling from out-of-town, we recommend mailing 3 months ahead of your wedding date.

This piece is part of our Wedding Stationery Collection.

These designs are printed as-is and are not customizable except for specific wording information, product options, and the below options. One round of revisions to your Wedding Collection design wording and colors is included with your order (for a total of 2 digital proofs).
