Why Bespoke Stationery is Worth It

The charm of bespoke stationery is that every detail is designed to suit your day, your style, and tell YOUR story.

One-size-fits-all set templates just don't 100% hit the mark, and will usually only be “almost what we want, but not quite”.

So let’s talk about what you’re really paying for with custom wedding stationery and why it’s worth every penny.

1) ✨ It’s Not Just Ink on Paper/Card

You’re not buying paper. You’re investing in design, in ideas, in time—both yours and mine.

When we work TOGETHER, you’re getting:

💖A full creative consultation (no rushed tick-box forms). I'm an actual person you can talk to, in person, at MY HOME! You know I'm not going anywhere and you can get your story across properly.

💖You get to see studio samples in REAL LIFE to actually see and feel the quality and discuss it’s versatility.

💖Unique designs built from scratch, not reshuffled templates. You get a harcopy sample with your own details for you to see. And you get amended samples with tweaks to wording, style, layout—right down to the tiniest detail until it's perfect.

💖Personal attention at every stage: no bots, no generic emails, no “Dear Customer” vibes. It's actually ME and only me behind the screen, on the phone or the postal letter.

2) 💬 It’s Your Voice, Not Mine.

Your invites should sound like you—not like a random Pinterest caption or a copy-pasted script from the internet.

I spend time listening to your story, your vibe, and what feels natural. Want your invites to be formal and traditional? Done. More like a cheeky poem referencing your shared love of dogs and dirty martinis? Absolutely.

Don't worry, if you panic at the thought of having to think up the right wording I do give a choice of a few to select from.

3) 🎨 Design That Tells a Story

Every couple is different. So your colours, fonts, illustrations, paper choices—they all matter. We can do formal or we can be playful and as bespoke as you wish. In the past I’ve created invites to mimic theatre tickets complete with tear-off stubs for a couple who met at a drama club and got engaged on stage. I’ve created patterns to tie in with the venues wallpaper. Illustrated quirky cartoons and venues. You dream it—I’ll figure out how to do it.

4) 🤝 It's a One-to-One Relationship

We’ll probably exchange a lot of messages. You might send me a panicked email at 11pm about Aunt Jean’s dietary needs. You might change your mind about the ribbon colour five times. That’s okay. That’s part of it. You’re not just another order number—I actually care and I am here for you.

5) 👋 Check back in any time.

Already sent your invites, then 2 weeks later you remember you didn't include your mother's boss’s daughter’s aunty's best friend's cousin? That's ok, we can make up that extra one for you on request. You don't need to feel pressured into ordering a set template, with 10 spares ‘just in case’. We've got you covered!

6) 💌 Final Thought

Bespoke stationery isn’t for everyone. But if you want your wedding stationery to feel personal, if you want something made just for you, then it’s so much more than paper (which by the way is luxurious, thick quality paper and card). It’s an experience and full service!
