Custom Wedding Stationery Phoenix, Arizona

We recommend sending out your save-the-dates 6 to 12 months before your wedding, depending on if it's a local or destination wedding. For wedding invitations, aim to mail them 12-14 weeks prior to your big day. If most of your guests are traveling from out of town and/or you don't send save the dates prior, it's best to lean towards the 14-week+ mark for invitation mailout.

Make sure to base your quantities on the number of households rather than the number of individual guests. Invitations are typically sent to households, not each guest. After determining the number of households, we recommend ordering 15% extra (minimum of 10 extra) to account for any potential issues, such as lost invitations, returns due to change of address, last minute add-ons, and to ensure you have some extras for beautiful photos!

Once you book with us, we'll provide a comprehensive wording guide to help you prepare the content for your wedding invitations. We're also here to offer personalized guidance and suggestions based on your specific needs and details.

There are several ways to approach this, depending on whether you want to list both parties, including children, etc. We can advise you on the best approach based on your style and preferences. Additionally, we provide a guest list template where you input your guests' details, and we handle the formatting for you.

Common printing methods include digital (flat printing), letterpress (pressed INTO the paper), foil stamping (metallic finish), and embossing (raised). Each technique offers a unique appearance and texture, allowing you to choose the one that best fits your style and preferences.

Yes, we do offer this service and 99.99999% of our clients opt for it! We handle the stuffing, sealing, stamping, and delivery of your wedding invitations to the post office. Additionally, we keep any extras on hand in case you need to send out additional invitations after the initial batch.

Choosing idieh design means you’ll work directly with a designer who guides you through the process with expertise and personal attention. We ensure that your stationery and signage are cohesive across all touchpoints, enhancing your special day with a seamless and elevated experience.

We recommend beginning the custom design process at least 6 months before your wedding date, but 7-10 months  is most ideal. This timeframe ensures ample opportunity for conceptualizing, designing, printing, assembling, and mailing your invitations.

Here’s how our process works:

Initial Consultation: We connect with you—virtually or in-person—to learn about your story, style, and preferences.

Custom Proposal: We prepare a detailed design proposal based on our discussion.

Onboarding: We collect the wording for your invitations.

Design Proofs: We begin designing and preparing proofs for your review.

Finalization: Once all design components are finalized, we proceed to production.

Assembly & Mailing: We handle the assembly of your invitations and mail them directly to your guests.

We require a minimum investment of $5000 for custom wedding invitations and wedding day stationery. You have the flexibility to choose which services to invest in, but you must meet the $5000 minimum. Couples who book our full range of custom services—spanning save the dates, wedding invitations, and day-of stationery—typically invest between $8,000-$25,000+. Make sure to factor in all the services you’re interested in when planning your investment.

We offer up to (5) five rounds of revision for custom wedding invitations and (3) three rounds of revisions for wedding day stationery & signage. It's common for us to not need all revisions, as we pride ourselves on efficiently and creatively capturing our clients' visions from the start. Once the maximum rounds of revisions are utilized, any additional revisions will be billed at $75 per hour.

You will receive digital renderings / proofs of your designs throughout the design phase to preview how the final product will look and to make any necessary adjustments. Please note that physical proofs are not provided due to production constraints. However, we’re happy to share samples of previous work that employs the same printing techniques and provide color swatches, if needed, to give you an idea of the final result.

A non-refundable, non-returnable retainer fee is required to secure your spot and initiate the design process. This deposit is usually 50% of the total investment. Once you approve the final proofs, we require the remaining balance due before moving into production. We accept various forms of payment including credit cards, bank transfers, and checks.

Yes, we can! Please note that a non-refundable, non-transferable fee of $150.00 is required for a single-use license of the artwork on items not created by idieh design. This fee applies per item; for example, using the artwork on both an ice sculpture and custom cookies would require a total fee of $300.00.
