  • It is important you vibe with our vibe. Paper Cliché may be the perfect fit if organic textures, romantic calligraphy and a clean, minimal aesthetic is what makes your heart skip a beat.

    If you are looking for bold yet understated pieces that tell a cohesive story from start to finish and -let’s be real- you want to wow your guests.

    Paper Cliché may be the perfect fit if you believe it’s all in the details and you value quality, sustainability and a high level of customer service.

    And if you crave human connection, attention to detail & access to your wedding stationer, boutique stationery has your name written all over it (literally).

  • Since every project we design is completely tailored to each couple or client, cost will vary dependent upon your unique wants and needs. Material choices, printing methods and embellishments desired will inform your specific quote. For helpful reference, most Paper Cliché couples invest between $2,500-$4000 on their semi-custom invitation packages and between $1500-$4000 on their day of paper goods.

  • Collections Suites

    We recommend ordering your semi-custom invitations a minimum of 2 months before you would like to mail them for a stress fee experience. You can expect your digital printed suite to ship to you within 4-5 weeks from approval and 5-6 weeks for letterpress printing. You'll want to add 1 week to this production timeline for calligraphy addressing.

    If you need your invitations on a faster timeline, we can occasionally accommodate rush orders.

    We recommend mailing your invitations 8-10 weeks from your wedding date. Add 2-4 weeks to this timeline for destination weddings.

    Save the Dates

    Save the Dates can shipped to you within 3 weeks of approval for digital printing. Add 1 week for letterpress printing and 1 week for calligraphy addressing.

    Bespoke Invitations

    We recommend reaching out about fully custom invitations a minimum of 6 months before you would like to mail them.

    Booking and production will depend on Paper Cliché’s calendar availability, as well as client responsiveness to emails and proofing. (Please inquire as soon as you think you may want to work with us as there are limited Fully Custom spots available on the 2025 design calendar)

  • We recommend booking at least 3-4 months prior to your wedding date to secure your spot as we take on a limited amount of weddings per month. The design process begins 7-8 weeks out from your wedding date.. *Minimum lead time for production of day of detail items from booking is 6 weeks from booking. The booking process typically takes about 5 days so please take this into account. We typically fill our design and production calendar about 5-6 months in advance but it never hurts to ask!

  • Please contact us as soon as possible with any rush requests and we will do our best to work some calligraphy magic if possible. Please note that a minimum 30% stress fee will be applied to all rush orders.

  • Make sure to order by household (number of addresses), not guest count as each couple or family will be mailed only one suite. We highly recommend ordering a few extra suites (5-10 is usually sufficient) to accommodate address changes, last minute add-ons, lost mail & family keepsakes. This will avoid reprint, set-up and rush shipping charges should you need more for any reason! Trust us on this one ;)

  • We offer standard 2 part payment plans with 3 part payment plans available by request. Your retainer and your signed agreement reserve your design time and completion date on our calendar. Your final payment will be due upon approval to enable us to send to print and production.

  • Semi-Custom Collection Invitations are inclusive of 3 complimentary proofs. Additional proofs will be billed at $50 each.

    We offer unlimited edits for fully custom packages but full re-designs (edits outside the scope of minor tweaks and wording changes) will be assessed on a case by case basis. Please keep in mind that each revision round can add 4-5 days to your project timeline, so it is imperative to be responsive and efficient with any edit requests.

    If revisions are due to incorrect wording submissions/changes, they may be subject to an hourly rate of $75.

  • To ensure the integrity of each thoughtfully designed collection suite, typefaces may not be substituted.

    Our fully custom design process might be the right fit if you are looking for something especially designed for you! We take on a limited amount of fully custom suites per calendar year.
