If you’ve just set your wedding date, you’re likely beginning the search for a custom wedding invitation designer. And as you do, you’ll quickly realize—there are a lot of us out there. With so many artists, aesthetics, and service styles to choose from, it can feel overwhelming figuring out who’s the right fit for your day.
That’s where I come in. I’m Allison, the designer and creative behind Kindly Delivered. I specialize in fully custom wedding invitation suites and day-of stationery that feel like a true reflection of the couple they’re created for. Timeless, tailored, and filled with thoughtful detail. From your first inquiry to the moment your invitations are in your hands, I guide you through the process with care and intention (and a little bit of stationery magic).
So before you jump on a consultation call with any designer, here’s what to look for (plus a little insight into what it’s like to work with me). And if what you read resonates? You can inquire here to begin, I’d love to hear more about your day.
Style That Aligns With Yours
Stationery is art, and no two designers approach it the same way. When you invest in a custom wedding invitation designer, you’re also choosing a design aesthetic, a creative process, and a person to collaborate with.
Personally, I love working with romantic calligraphy, floral envelope liners, and elevated details like wax seals, vellum wraps, and colored envelopes (think soft blues, deep greens, dusty rose—over 100 hues to choose from). Of course, my style can evolve based on your vision, but I tend to be the best fit for couples who value timeless design with a fresh, personal twist.

Clear Timelines and Realistic Expectations
One of the biggest questions I get is: When do you send out wedding invitations? And the answer depends a bit on your wedding date, guest count, and stationery complexity. But generally, I recommend mailing your invitations 2–3 months before the big day—and beginning the design process about 6–9 months in advance.
This gives us time to dream, refine, proof, print, assemble, and (if you’d like) mail everything for you. I also take care of sending a suite to your photographer, so they can capture all those dreamy flat-lays ahead of time.
Whether you’re planning a long engagement or working with a tighter timeline, I’ll guide you through a custom process that fits your flow, without cutting corners.

A Designer You Actually Like Working With
You’ll spend more time communicating with your custom wedding invitation designer than you might expect (especially with a fully custom suite). That’s why I offer a consultation call before we even book. I want to make sure our communication feels effortless, aligned, and collaborative.
It’s not just about pretty paper (though we’ll definitely get there). It’s about trust, good energy, and knowing your vision is being heard and brought to life with intention.
Full-Service Support, Start to Finish
Custom design is all about experience, from our first call to your final suite. All of my clients receive one-on-one attention from me for the duration of our working relationship. I walk you through every stage of the process: crafting your timeline, refining your wedding invitation text, choosing the right print method (like letterpress wedding invitations or foil), and managing all the production.
I also offer:
- Envelope printing in black, white, or color
- Over 100 curated envelope shades
- Add-ons like wax seals, ribbon, vellum, etc.
- Mailing services for ease and elegance
While I don’t offer in-house calligraphy or custom watercolor, I regularly collaborate with a trusted network of artists who do. If those elements are part of your vision, I’ll bring in the right creative partners and handle every detail on your behalf.
Let’s Talk About Investment
Working with a custom wedding invitation designer allows for full cohesion (from your save the dates to your day-of pieces) and a level of detail you simply won’t find in pre-made templates.
Think of your invitations as a preview of the experience you’re creating for your guests. They set the tone, introduce your aesthetic, and become keepsakes long after the day is over. When we work together, I help you decide where to invest most meaningfully based on what is most important to you. Whether that’s in print quality, tactile finishes, or fine art embellishments.
Wondering what that investment actually looks like? This guide breaks down the cost of custom wedding invitations, so you can make confident, informed choices that align with your vision.
A Note on Mailing and Etiquette
With all the (conflicting) information out there about mailing timelines, postage rules, and digital RSVPs, it helps to have someone in your corner who handles it all for you. I’ll walk you through when to mail, how to word everything, and what’s needed for your wedding invitation suite to arrive perfectly intact.
And yes, I’ll even make sure your envelopes are properly weighed and postage is correct. No post office runs for you!
Ready to Design Something You’ll Love?
Choosing a custom wedding invitation designer is a personal decision. You deserve someone who listens deeply, brings clarity to the process, and creates with care.
