Just a cute little corner of our shop!
We love.... making your letterpress wedding invitations and marriage certificates!!!
Well, I guess the story goes way... back to the 80's when I (Elecia) was a little girl and fell in love with calligraphy back when I was about seven years old. My art teacher pulled out one of those calligraphy markers and scrolled our names on scraps of paper. I asked , "How do you DO that???" She must have been a very modest woman because her answer was that it was the pen. Can you imagine my disappointment when I urged my Nana to purchase one, and I tried it out?? My sloppy seven year old penmanship, even with my attempts of loops and swirls, just didn't cut it....
Many many many trips to the art supply store and kits upon kits with instructions I had it down early into my double digit years. I addressed envelopes for loved ones parties and scrolled the names of our guests on place cards for holidays.
Calligraphy got pushed to the wayside for many years once it was time to graduate high school. I attended the University of Rhode Island where I majored in Textiles Merchandising & Design, with a minor in Fine Arts. My favorite classes were Color Theory, Color Science and Print Making. All of which I use the skills I learned every single day.

All deposits are non-refundable.
Shipping
Because of the high value of the items we ship, we require insurance and signature confirmation (for wedding invites and marriage certificates). We understand this is not the "easiest" way of doing things, but we want to be sure your bespoke letterpress and calligraphy items end up in your hands. :) When paying please put the correct shipping address in Paypal as we generate our shipping labels there. Many people opt to have their invites shipped directly to their work address (or sometimes their parents), as there is typically someone there to sign for it.

☞ I saw that the listing states $100 - is that for as many invites as I want?
No. The $100 is simply a deposit. Invite suites and marriage certificates will cost much more than $100. This $100 listing is just to hold a spot on our calendar and to start the design process. Deposits are non-refundable, so please message us with any questions and to get a quote BEFORE purchasing
☞Do you ship to Australia (or Canada, or Japan, or South Africa)?
Yes!! Anywhere that Fedex or UPS goes, we go. About 30% of our business is overseas and we LOVE doing business with people of other cultures! Please note that all price quotes we give are in USD and the client is responsible for any taxes/levies/duties that your country may impose.
☞Do you charge sales tax (USA)?
Yes and no. We only charge sales tax in our home state of Texas.
☞Can you print something I designed?
Yes! We welcome your creativity.
☞Can I get a discount if I design my own invites?
No. While, we love that you are being creative, we have found that many times when we print designs our clients have designed that it ends up taking just as much (if not more) labor on our ends.
☞Are the colors customizable?
Yes! Everything and we mean everything can be changed to suit your needs and personal style.
☞I am a member of the LGBTQ community. Would you be comfortable making our invites (or marriage certificate).
Of course!! We would be absolutely honored to create the invites or marriage certificate of your dreams. We welcome it!
☞How many rounds of proofs are included?
Infinity. Seriously. Unlimited. Free.
We will happily do unlimited amounts of digital proofs for your invites. We will do them M-F. Please allow 24 hours between rounds of proofs.
