Seahorse Bend Press is a boutique paper design studio specializing in bespoke wedding collections, letterpress printing, and graphic design for wedding suites and stationery. We are a full service studio offering guest addressing, watercolor venues and maps, vintage postage and wax seals.
Located in the sunny suburbs of Houston, Texas, we work with delightful couples around the world and are able to set up multi-language invitations. We also offer graphic design for event invitations for non-profits, small and large business owners.
TURN AROUND:
Current turn around on digital invitations is 3-5 business days. Once you approve your proof, turn around on printed sets is 3-4 days for print and 4-6 days for domestic shipping. For international shipping, please contact us for a shipping timeline. For guest addressing, additional time is needed for setup and for you to approve those files as well.
For formal collections, we will work together until you are happy. Turn around is based on your in-hand date, which I can meet. We prefer at least 2-3 weeks to work with you. For watercolor venues, crests and both illustrated and watercolor maps, we may need a 6-8 week window on top of your collection depending on our processing schedule. We do offer expedited timeframes based on availability and on occasion can meet earlier windows. Please inquire about current turn around times. We work on a processing schedule and these time frames are subject to change, so please email me via Etsy and let me know your in-hand date.
WATERCOLOR TURN AROUND:
For watercolor venues, maps and crests, please check with us on turn around as our schedule may differ.
Usual turn around for a watercolor venue is 4-6 weeks but we do offer an expediting fee.
For watercolor maps, up to 4 locations, turn around time is 6-8 weeks depending on the project and how extensive it is.
We do not offer an expediting or rush fee for maps. For crests, these can vary from 4-8 weeks depending on our processing schedule. * We may have earlier timeframes. Please inquire with us on Etsy.

Founded in 2007, Seahorse Bend Press is a boutique paper design studio located in Houston, Texas. We specialize in bespoke wedding collections, letterpress printing and graphic design for weddings, parties, events and small and large businesses. We work with clients all over the world, ensuring the unique and special details of their love stories are expressed fully on paper—from save the date cards and wedding invitations to bridal showers and rehearsal dinners.
Whether a destination wedding in Scotland, a vineyard celebration in California or a grand affair in London, we offer personalized designs for every kind of wedding and every kind of couple. We can incorporate and accommodate any culture, any custom, and any language. Our clients receive our utmost attention and enthusiasm, from initial designs to the final product. It's as exciting for us to design a wedding suite as it is for a client to see his or her ideas come to life.
We strongly believe life's personal stories are best told through paper and hope that our paper goods inspire you to share these moments with others. We would love to help you with your invitation needs and life events. We look forward to hearing from you!

DESIGN SPECIFICATIONS
Our designs are thoughtfully created and all elements are intentionally selected to create the best overall design. We do not offer any major changes to the design layouts featured in our Semi-Custom Collection. When choosing your Semi-Custom suite design we recommend paying special attention to the wording layout. For example, if you would like to include your parents names, choose a suite design that features this wording layout.
We recommend carefully reviewing your proofs for any spelling errors or inaccuracies prior to giving your final approval. We cannot make additional changes once your item has been approved for printing and is in production.
Any requests outside of the options available within our online ordering forms will require a customization request. This allows you to choose custom ink colors, various typography styles, paper colors, and print methods. Please fill out our Custom Request Questionnaire for additional customization options. You can find that link here:
