Custom Wedding Invitations 

Designing a wedding suite is one of the most personal parts of planning a wedding day.

Invitations that set the tone before a single guest arrives — your selected print style, a monogram or mark that's genuinely yours — paired with something more personal: the details that make your wedding yours and nobody else's.

This is the page that walks you through the 5 star design process you will experience with Megan Kathleen Design as I guide you from start to finsih.

Experience true white-glove service. From custom artwork to assembly and mailing, we handle every single detail so you can
focus entirely on celebrating.

Set the stage for an unforgettable celebration. We treat your stationery as a personal brand, crafting a beautiful, cohesive look that tells your story from the first announcement to the
wedding day signage.

Art that speaks to who you are as a couple. Custom-made invitations designed with your unique story at the center.

Your stationery deserves a flawless presentation, I manage the entire assembly and mailing process for you. Our team meticulously hand-assembles each suite, applies the perfect postage, and mails your invitations directly to your guests. Experience a true white-glove process where you don’t have to lift a finger.

Reclaim your time and skip the tedious hours spent hand-writing addresses. I custom design your envelopes to flawlessly match your invitation suite, handling all printing for you. This includes your guest addresses, return address, and RSVP envelope printing—perfectly styled
and ready to mail.

Your custom invitation suite is meticulously designed to include five core elements: the main invitation, an RSVP card with its coordinating envelope, a  details card, and the outer mailing envelope. I guide you through traditional etiquette and wording formulas, taking the guesswork and stress out of the process completely.

Perfection takes time, and I don’t rush your vision. Every custom package includes unlimited design revisions ensuring your invitation suite is completely flawless before it ever touches a printing press

Your love story is unique, and your invitations should be, too. We bring your vision to life on paper with custom artwork designed with you—and only you—in mind.

Upon booking, you will receive a curated welcome box filled with touchable samples—including invitation styles, embellishment options, and color palettes—designed to help you discover exactly what you love.

step two

Discovery Call

We hop on a short call to get to know each other, talk through your vision in detail, and make sure we are the right fit. This is where your ideas start to take real shape.

Come with inspiration, come with questions, or come with nothing at all. By the end of the call we will have a clear direction and a plan that feels like you.

step three

The Proposal

Within a few days you will receive a custom proposal outlining your suite options, pricing, and timeline. Everything is built specifically around your wedding, your aesthetic, and your budget.

Nothing is templated, nothing is rushed. You will know exactly what you are getting and exactly what to expect before anything moves forward.

step four

Design

Once you approve the proposal and your deposit is in, the creative work begins. You will receive initial concepts to review, and we refine together until every single detail feels exactly right.

This is a collaborative process and your feedback is always welcome. Most clients go through two to three rounds of revisions before we land on something that genuinely takes their breath away.

step five

Your Approval

Before anything goes to print you will receive a detailed final digital proof of your complete suite. This is your opportunity to review every word, every layout, every finishing touch, and every small detail with complete confidence.

Nothing moves to production until you have given your full approval and feel completely at ease.

step six

Production & Printing

Your suite goes into production with our trusted print partners who specialize in fine art and luxury stationery.

Every piece is carefully printed on the papers and materials we selected together, finished by hand where needed, and quality checked before it ever leaves the studio. This is where everything becomes real.

step seven

Delivery

Your finished suite arrives at your door beautifully packaged, protected, and ready to send. Every envelope, every insert, every detail accounted for and wrapped with the same care that went into designing it.

All that is left is dropping them in the mail and watching your guests fall in love before they even arrive at the ceremony.

 five piece suite

Each custom five-piece suite features a main invitation card that beautifully showcases your custom artwork and sets the tone for your celebration. It includes an RSVP card and coordinating envelope styled to ensure your guests' responses arrive in matching elegance, alongside a details card fully tailored to host guest information, a timeline, or a custom-illustrated map. Serving as the elegant first look for your guests, a beautiful outer envelope protects and frames the entire collection.

Timeline

To find your ideal start date, simply locate your wedding month below to view my recommended design timeline. To ensure a flawless, stress-free experience, the design process begins seven months prior to your wedding day, allowing ample time to craft your custom artwork, refine your stationery brand, and hand-assemble your suite before your invitations land in your guests' mailboxes.

investment

Our custom invitation experiences begin at a minimum investment of $2150. This baseline covers every piece, design element, and mailing service outlined in our process. While our packages are entirely tailored, our clients choose to invest between $3500-$5,000 to bring their full vision to life. I invite you to submit an inquiry to receive a custom proposal built around your specific wishes. It would be our true honor to intentionally maximize your budget into an unforgettable first impression for your guests.

BEGIN YOUR INQUIRY

Your unique vision. Your love story. A fully managed, white-glove experience from our first conversation to the final mailing. I design one-of-a-kind wedding invitation suites for couples who want their celebration introduced with artistry, intentional design, and effortless luxury.

frequently asked

Questions

Yes, on a limited basis when our schedule allows. Rush timelines compress the process into six to eight weeks total with a rush fee added. We encourage couples needing a rush order to inquire as soon as possible so we can confirm availability.

Do you offer rush wedding invitation orders?

Yes, I do offer international tracked parcel shipping via UPS. The cost varies depending on delivery address and can take up to two weeks for the invitation suite to arrive.

Do you ship wedding invitations internationally?

The full custom invitation process typically takes four to six months from inquiry to mailed envelopes, with six to eight weeks of design and proofing followed by six weeks of production and assembly. We recommend inquiring eight to twelve months before your wedding date to give the process the time it deserves.

How long does the custom wedding invitation process take?

Every custom package includes two digital proofs and unlimited revisions, which is more than enough for almost every couple we work with. We never charge for refinements within the normal scope of your project.

How many design revisions are included in a custom suite?

Save the dates go out seven to twelve months before your wedding. Invitations are mailed ideally three months before the day, which means most couples place their full order five months out. Use our order timeline above to find the exact dates for your wedding month.

When should I order my save the dates and wedding invitations?

Yes. I offer day-of wedding paper for clients who book their invitation suite with me. I design menus, place cards, programs, table numbers, welcome signs, seating charts, and bar menus, often produced on paper. Most couples book day-of paper three to six months before the wedding as a separate project from their invitation suite.

Do you offer day-of wedding paper goods and reception signage?
