Frequently Asked Questions
-
For your convenience, pricing and details are right on the website! This is also how you can book your suite. Browse through each wedding stationery collection page to find a design you love. Click on the item you wish to purchase, then choose your options from the dropdown menu. Pricing will update at the top of the listing.
-
After all proofs are approved, allow up to four weeks for production for letterpress, foil, and some of our embellishment options.
Digital printing offers a quicker turnaround time (10 business days) and more affordable elegance.
For more details, take a look at my timeline cheat sheet here, along with everything else you need to know about booking wedding stationery.
-
Book stationery at least two months before you need them in hand. This allows time for design, proofing, printing, and shipping.

Stationery is carefully packaged and delivered directly to you. I’ll also include detailed instructions for assembly, postage, and mailing. And, of course, you can always shoot me an email if you need any additional assistance!
Optionally, you may choose to add assembly and/or postage + mailing services. Those services can be added here.
-
Day-of wedding stationery can be booked 1 month or at least 3 weeks in advance of your event. We require that you have all information ready when you book–like your seating arrangements and wording.
We are unable to accommodate day-of clients whose weddings are 2 weeks away or less.
-
Absolutely! Our calendar is booked on a first-come, first-serve basis, so if you want to reserve your spot in advance then you can definitely book before you have all details finalized. The only thing I’ll need from you is your confirmed event date. That way, we can work backwards from there to make sure you receive everything on time.
Please keep in mind the proofing process does not begin until we have all information from you, so this can delay the timeline. If you need stationery in hand soon (within 6 weeks from the date of purchase), we recommend having all information ready at the time of booking.
-
Count by number of households, not by the number of guests invited.
Invitations are available in increments of 25, with a minimum of 50 prints.
So, if you only need 85 suites, we recommend ordering up to 100. This will give you extras in case additional guests are added or anything gets lost in the mail. Plus, it gives you extras to have photographed on your big day (we recommend bringing 2-3 copies for your photographer) and a few to have as keepsakes for yourself.
-
We get right to work on your wedding suite! After you place an order, you’ll receive a proof via email within 5 business days (or in 4 weeks if you booked a custom venue illustration).
We prefer that you have all information ready when booking–like wording and guest addresses, when applicable.
After you receive your first round of proofs, we’ll work one-on-one together to make sure everything is perfect prior to printing. Three complimentary rounds of revisions are included.
-
Yes! All wording is fully personalized to your liking with your wedding information and details. However, the layout of text remains the same to protect the integrity of the original design. Include custom wording in the notes at checkout, and I'll take care of the rest!
-
Collections from Betty Lu Paperie are semi-custom. We do not offer fully custom stationery designs.
This means that the design remains relatively the same as seen on the website, but personalized with your wedding details and designed to match your wedding aesthetic.
All wording will be fully personalized to meet your needs, but we only offer very limited design customizations in order to stay true to our brand and aesthetic. Design customizations include adding a design element to your stationery and/or a venue illustration from our embellishments page.
Our day-of paper offerings are expanding! Until then, if you have a custom request, like bar menus, signage, champagne escort cards, etc., we’re happy to custom create them to match your invitation suite.

before you begin…
Collect all guest addresses.
This is one of those tasks that can take some time, but it'll help you know how many households you need to mail to for save the dates and invitations. Plus, it makes the stationery process go by so much faster because you already have the information ready.
