Wedding Invitations
The pièce de résistance in your wedding paper suite is the invitation—it formally communicates all the details of your celebration, and helps your guests anticipate their experience at your wedding.

Your wedding stationery has a few jobs…
No. 1
Communicate all the little details.
It is a wedding invitation, after all—your guests need the pertinent specifics.
No. 2
Set the stage for your celebration.
Begin your guests’ experience long before their first glass of champagne.
No. 3
Signify your marriage forevermore.
Never second-guess the timeless wedding invitation design you chose.
But when you’re a bride who knows what she wants—and doesn’t want to settle for an “off the rack” design—creating something special can feel out of reach.

“Thank you, thank you! The invitations are beautiful! They are exactly what we wanted. Kiki and I can’t thank you enough! All our best and deepest gratitude.”

“We loved our invitations so so much! I never thought I could have all of the things I wanted for invitations given our budget but you made all of my stationery dreams come true. They were even more beautiful than I could've imagined and we got so many compliments from our guests when they received the suite! I am so glad we have extras that we can save as keepsakes and look back on for the rest of our lives. You are the absolute best!”

Betty Lu Paperie by Valerie Freeman
Betty Lu Paperie is named for my great aunt, Betty Joyce—an amazing woman who was the quintessential picture of southern hospitality that inspires the very heart of this paper shop.
Weddings bring family and friends together for one of the most pivotal moments in your life.
They deserve special details that celebrate your marriage for years to come.
This is your first time hosting such a significant gathering as a couple—every detail matters, from the moment your invitation arrives in your guests’ mailbox, you’re creating an unforgettable experience.
But it doesn’t have to be complicated!
And it certainly doesn’t mean you have to settle for a dime-a-dozen, seen-it-a-zillion-times option from a big ol’ dusty binder in a brick-and-mortar shop, or select from endless scrolling on a big-name website.
Instead, you can have a carefully crafted, enjoyable experience creating the invitation and paper suite of your dreams—without worrying about a thing!
As Seen In…
Let’s get you on your way to what you really need—and nothing more to sort through.
