Let’s Chat (IRL!)
I’d love to meet you — in person. My design process is hands-on, collaborative, and way more fun when we can spread out paper, look at samples, and talk through ideas together. For that reason, all consultations are held in person only. I don’t offer virtual meetings.
Minimums apply:
• Save the dates begin at $450
• Invitations begin at $800
• Day-of stationery begins at $750
Available dates are found on my calendar (usually Tuesdays & Wednesdays). If there’s a date you’d prefer, or works better for your schedule, just send me an email and I’ll see what I can do!

Making pretty things happen
Paper, passion and a little chaos!
From the moment you enter the design studio, you’ll be flooded with inspiration, paper and colour. Think of it as a little playground for your wedding ideas!
Expect to laugh and make a new bff, because throughout the hour we spend together, we’ll get to know each other, we’ll walk through examples and swatches, and you’ll leave with a clear sense of your stationery and the confidence knowing everything will be perfect!
I can’t wait to meet you!
xo, Heather
Q: What is the process to ordering custom wedding invitations?
A: First, you’ll schedule an in-person design consultation at my design studio in Cambridge by clicking here. During our consultation we’ll go through design inspiration, colours, font choices, paper options, and print methods to name just a few things!
Essentially, we’ll design your invitations on paper with a quick sketch, and we’ll finalize the wording of all pieces. I then send you a formal proposal showing a breakdown of all the details we discussed. A 50% retainer, and a signature on the contract is required to start the design process.
Your design proofs are brought to life with your chosen colours, fonts, wording, and embellishments you’ve chosen like wax seals and envelope liners. You’ll review the proofs in your personal design portal, and you’ll list any changes you’d like to see. Once we’ve finalized your design, the balance of your invoice is due, and production begins.
From start to finish the design and production process takes approximately 4 to 6 weeks; sometimes a little less, sometimes a little more!
Q: Save the dates…Are they necessary?
A: 100% Yes! If your wedding is on a long weekend, a holiday, a Friday, or if at least half of your guests are travelling more than 1 hour to attend your wedding, send a save the date 8 to 12 months before your wedding so your guests can book time off work, hire a babysitter, or book hotel rooms/airfare, etc.
80% Yes! If you want to get your guests excited about your wedding, and share a little sneak peek of what they can expect with your stationery!
20% yes! If you just want to! Some couples find that this small task helps to jump start the excitement for their wedding day!
That’s invitation girl math for ya!
Q: How many invitations do I need to order?
A: As a general rule, use the number of guest addresses (not the total number of guests), and add 5 to 10 extras for guests you may have missed, plus any that get lost in the mail! If you don’t order enough initially, you can order more in any quantity you need, however additional fees may apply.
It’s also important to note that guests over the age of 18 should receive their own invitation (and a plus one if you choose), even if they live with their parent(s) or guardian(s).
