Custom Wedding Invitation Suites |
Invitations set the mood for your entire wedding. They convey the dream of your day to
come, and the bond the two of you have together.

When guests receive your thoughtfully designed and packaged invitations, it sparks an
excitement for the event, and feelings of nostalgia of the joy of past weddings. These invita-
tion suites are like gifts of what’s to come, and can be treasured as heirlooms and memories.

The Design Process |
1. Inquire |
 Fill out our questionnaire for a detailed quote on your custom invitation design. Give me all
the details!

2. Booking |
Once you and your partner have agreed on the pricing, I’ll get you booked in the calendar!
When you’re booked and deposit paid, you’ll be invited to your own private client portal,
where I’ll be sending all design proofs and messages in one easy-to-access site. (You’ll never
have to hunt through old emails again!)

3. Consultation |
I’ll review your questionnaire and we will set up a skype, facetime or telephone call to chat
about your design ideas and dreams for your wedding invitation suites. I’d love to get to
know the two of you to better design pieces that are as original as you are.

4. Mood Board and Design Ideas |
This is where the design begins. Using inspiration from your love story, venue and wedding
aesthetic, I will create a mood board and draft designs of your original invitation suites.

5. Final Design, Print, Production & Delivery |
Once the final design proofs are approved, I’ll start the process of printing. At this point, the
balance of the invoice is due. Once your suites are printed, I’ll begin the assembly process
and get them packaged up and sent out to you - the happy couple eagerly awaiting these
pretty pieces.

6. Party! |
Now you can mail out those beautiful invitations to all of your excited guests, and get to the
rest of the party planning! Get back to that pinterest board and start dreaming up some
pretty wedding day stationery. (And get ready to marry your love!)

Notes of thanks |

Working with Natalie for my day of wedding
stationery was one of the best wedding planning
decisions I made. She seamlessly pulled together
my vision of incorporating literary quotes with
my west coast beach wedding. Her calligraphy
stood out as original and handcrafted on my wed-
ding day and is still displayed in my home. I
highly recommend Faven Lettering to any bride
who wants to add an artistic, personalized flair to
her wedding!

-Sarah + Michael

I found Natalie and I’m so happy with her work.
She made the name place cards for my wedding
and she asked me what theme I was having.
She had a great suggestion right from the start
based on the questions she asked and had quickly
came up with a sample! Everyone loved their
name place cards and almost all my guests took it
home. In fact, some of my guests thought that it
was the wedding favor!
