the wedding stationery experienceAn inside look at our three-step process.
Step 1
Choose your look.
Browse my boutique of thoughtfully curated wedding stationery collections, so you can find a design that shows the vibe of your wedding. All of our versatile designs offer paper, printing, ink, and envelope options designed to match a variety of wedding concepts and seasons. To view pricing and details, select your options (such as quantity, print method, etc.) and pricing will update at the top of the page.
Step 2
Share the specifics.
As you add items to your cart, a pop-up form will appear for you to select your options. We will contact you for wording and personalization details one business day after purchase. Remember to make your suite truly one-of-a-kind by adding one (or a few!) of our embellishment options–like venue drawings, wax seals, and envelope liners–here.
No. 3
Get ready to celebrate.
After submitting your order, we’ll work one-on-one together to make sure your invitations are perfect. You’ll receive your first proof within 3 business days after we’ve received guest addresses from you. After you approve all proofs, printing begins! Next, we’ll carefully wrap up your stationery. When your stationery package arrives on your doorstep, you’ll receive detailed instructions for assembly, postage and mailing—and you’ll be one step closer to Mrs.!
Our Printing Processes
Tap the + icon to learn more about each print method.
-
The most familiar form of printing—also known as flat printing, is the process of applying ink directly to paper or cardstock resulting in a seamless, or flat, texture on the paper’s surface.
-
This time-honored printing process is done by hand using matte ink and a metal plate, creating an impressed or debossed look on a thicker cardstock like Crane’s famous Lettra paper. At Betty Lu Paperie, we specialize in the best letterpress wedding invitations.
-
The most luxurious option actually isn’t a printing process at all—similar to letterpress, foil stamping gives your wording a metallic shine without using ink. Each card is hand-pressed with metallic foil using a metal plate.
Our Paper Options
Explore our signature card stocks and paper weights.
Cardstock and Paper Weight
Choose between single ply or double thick paper. Single ply, 120lb, is my signature card stock. Double thick, 240lb, is a rigid card stock twice the thickness of single ply.
Paper Color
Choose to have your invitations printed on white or ivory paper. Our ivory card stock is a soft-white hue without heavy yellow undertones, and uniquely different from cream or ecru.
