Let's Create Something Beautiful, Together.
At Marie & Me Design Studio, we don’t just design; we create an experience. Our goal is to give you a branded event from start to finish, with intentional details that tell your story. With unlimited ideas and hands-on support, we’re here to make your experience seamless and inspiring.
Save The Dates
At Marie & Me Design Studio, every save-the-date is as unique as your love story. We create fully customized designs tailored to your style, ensuring your announcement perfectly sets the tone for your special day.
-
The recommended timeline for sending save the dates depends on whether the wedding is local, destination, or during a peak wedding season. Marie & Me recommends starting the design process 6 weeks prior to your ideal shipping date!
Local Weddings
6-8 months before the wedding: This gives guests ample time to mark their calendars and make arrangements if necessary.
Destination Weddings
8-12 months before the wedding: Guests need extra time to plan for travel, book accommodations, and budget for the trip.
Holiday or Peak Season Weddings
9-12 months before the wedding: Weddings during busy times, such as holidays or popular vacation months, may require more advanced notice to ensure guests can prioritize your event.
-
While we love exploring creative options to make your save-the-dates uniquely yours, our clients often choose a classic single-ply paper paired with an elegant envelope and a coordinating envelope liner.
-
Pricing for save-the-dates average around $5 per set and varies based on your chosen materials, design complexity, and printing methods. For premium options like foil stamping or letterpress, prices will range higher. Because every project is one-of-a-kind, we provide personalized quotes after an initial consultation to ensure we bring your vision to life within your budget. Contact us today to start designing!
Invitation Suites
Your wedding invitations are more than just stationery—they’re the first glimpse your guests will have of your big day. We specialize in creating bespoke designs that reflect your unique story and wedding vision.
-
To ensure a smooth process and give your guests ample time to respond, here’s a suggested timeline for ordering and sending your wedding invitations:
1. Initial Consultation
6-8 months before the wedding: Schedule your consultation to discuss your vision, design preferences, and stationery needs. This allows ample time for designing, revisions, and production.
2. Finalizing the Design
5-6 months before the wedding: Approve the final design and confirm all details, including wording, printing methods, and any custom elements like liners, wax seals, or addressing.
3. Printing and Assembly
4-5 months before the wedding: Printing and any additional assembly (such as ribbon ties or envelope liners) typically take 2-4 weeks, depending on complexity.
4. Sending Invitations
8-12 weeks before the wedding: Mail your invitations to guests. For destination or holiday weddings, send them closer to the 12-week mark to allow for travel planning.
-
During your design consultation, we’ll discuss your unique vision and explore all the possibilities for your invitation suite. While the pieces listed here are the starting point, they are by no means the limit—your suite can be as elaborate as you’d like!
Most of our clients opt for a classic set that includes:
A beautifully designed invitation card
Coordinating RSVP card
Matching envelopes (with optional liners or addressing services)
From elegant embellishments like vellum wraps and wax seals to custom maps or detail cards, we’ll work with you to create a suite that perfectly reflects your style. The sky is the limit!
-
Custom invitation suites generally start at $2,500 for 100 invitations, and pricing can increase based on the materials, design complexity, printing techniques, and added details such as wax seals, vellum wraps, or custom illustrations. We also offer additional options like foil stamping, letterpress, or hand-lettering, which can elevate your suite and are available as add-ons.
We understand that every wedding is unique. After our initial consultation, we’ll provide a personalized quote that fits your style and budget. Together, we’ll create an invitation suite that’s as unique as your love story! -
We Customize Everything: Your suite can include as many or as few pieces as you envision.
Order Extras: Plan for 10-15 extra sets for last-minute guests, mistakes, or keepsakes.
Set an RSVP Deadline: We recommend 4-6 weeks before your wedding date to finalize your guest list and vendor orders.
Day-of Packages
Our day-of packages are designed to ensure your event runs smoothly while adding beautiful custom stationery elements that tie everything together.
-
To ensure everything is beautifully prepared and ready for your big day, here’s a suggested timeline for ordering and finalizing your day-of stationery:
1. Finalizing the Design
3-4 months before the wedding: After completing your custom invitations, we begin the design for your day-of stationery. This is when we confirm details like color palettes, wording, and any custom elements for your programs, menus, seating charts, and more.
2. Printing and Assembly
2-3 months before the wedding: Printing and assembly of your day-of stationery typically take 2-3 weeks, depending on the complexity of your designs and any special embellishments.
3. Delivery and Final Review
1 month before the wedding (for most pieces): Most day-of pieces will be carefully prepared and delivered to you about a month before the event. Any final adjustments or additions can be made at this time to ensure everything is just right.
-
We offer a variety of day-of stationery, from elegant programs to thoughtfully designed place cards and menus. Below are a few items most clients choose for their day-of package:
Escort cards or seating chart
Menus
Table-top signage
Personalized napkins
Thank you cards
While these are the essentials, the options are endless! If you have a particular vision, we’re here to bring it to life with anything from signage to custom favor tags or more.
-
Our day-of stationery packages typically start at $2,000 (including programs, menus, and escort cards), and pricing can vary based on the materials, design intricacy, and any additional custom details. For more intricate designs, such as custom signage or premium printing techniques, the cost may be higher.
Just like with our invitations, every detail is personalized. After our initial consultation, we’ll provide a tailored quote based on your wedding style, the pieces you need, and your budget. Whether it’s a simple, classic look or something more extravagant, we’ll work together to create beautiful pieces that complement your wedding day perfectly.
-
Order Extras: We recommend ordering 10-15 additional pieces to account for last-minute additions or keepsakes.
Consider Assembly Time: If you plan on assembling your day-of pieces yourself, allow extra time to ensure everything is arranged beautifully for the big day.
Confirm Details Early: The earlier you finalize your designs, the smoother the process will be as we approach your wedding date.
