It is never too early to complete my contact form and reserve your date! I typically start working with couples 6 to 12 months in advance. A typical timeline is about 6 months for the design and production of your invitation suite.
As I start working on your invitation designs, I am already dreaming up ideas for your day-of paper as well. Fun details like menus, escort cards, and signage all start coming together 2-3 months prior to the big day.
