If you’re planning to mail your invitations to your guests in August, September or October, reserve your spot on the Custom Paper Works design schedule now.

It is highly recommended that you reserve a Design Start Date ahead of time because dates often book up months in advance.

For reference, the following is a schedule for weddings with invitations being mailed 6-8 weeks before the big day.

2010 Weddings & Celebrations
Januray 2011 – Reserve Design Start Date for October
February 2011 – Reserve Design Start Date for November
March 2011 – Reserve Design Start Date for December
April 2011 – Reserve Design Start Date for January.

*For DESTINATION WEDDING invitations, reserve a design start date that is at least 8 weeks before you wish to have the completed invitations in-hand.

Bar and Bat Mitzvahs should use the same schedule listed above for weddings.

I just left Kristen with the place cards and table name cards for her wedding, and just couldn’t wait to post them. I met with Kristen and John for the first time a year and a half ago (referred to me from the DJs at Mike Staff Productions) and have had a great time chatting and brain-storming with them ever since. Kristen’s all-metallic pink and quartz panel invitations are accented with a monogramed gold metallic linen band that holds the enclosure cards in place behind the main panel. (more…)

I was able to help Melissa out when the original designer she had booked suddenly went MIA, and I had so much fun working with her to create these invitations. She wanted a bright, bold, tropical and flowery boarding pass set. Her orange and pink color combination and hibiscus theme made it easy! (more…)

I designed Jennifer’s Passport Save the Dates a while back, as well as her Boxed Starfish Invitations (post coming soon!) Her wedding extras continue the elegant tropical theme with their monogram and marine-life accents. (more…)

Irena wanted her invitations to be rich, rich, rich.
