Customization Process

Luxury Invitations at an Attainable Price

The Leighwood Design Studio Semi-Custom Invitation Collection features thoughtfully-crafted designs that you and your partner infuse with personal style. Each suite starts as a base design that you customize with personalized wording, curated ink and envelope colors, as well as distinctive script options. Unlike DIY sites, you'll work directly with a Designer (just like a custom client) who will guide you through the process, suggest alternate options and serve as a trusted advisor. 

Our semi-custom invitation collections begin at $10 per suite for an invitation & envelopes—add on additional inserts and finishing touches to create your perfect collection.

On average, our couples invest between $1,500–$3,000 on their semi-custom invitation collection. This varies depending on your guest list, number of inserts, and add-ons.

Your wedding invitations should be an unmistakable reflection of you as a couple. Together we'll create Paper Magic by crafting something unique and unexpected with—we can’t wait to see what comes to life!

What Others are saying

★★★★★

Leighwood Design Studio was one of the best things I could have done for my wedding. The process was easy and seamless. They took a lot of stress off my plate and provided me with the most beautiful invites I have ever seen. Being from Utah, you see a lot of the same white invites, so it was fun to have a bright and colorful Pennelope Suite go to people’s mailboxes here! I would highly recommend them!

Working with Amanda is an absolute dream. Her ability to translate our loose ideas into beautiful, thoughtful, detailed invitations, menus, and signage for our wedding day was incredible. She not only made our vision a reality, but was very responsive to feedback throughout the process and went the extra mile to ensure every detail was just right. Our invitations turned out so beautifully and set the perfect tone for our day as the first hint of what was to come.

Ashley & John

What can we say? Everything we wanted for our day turned out better than we could have imagined! Amanda went above and beyond to find the right mix of colors, even searching up and down for the perfect 'matcha' colored paper. The day-of items were to die for--the cutest napkins, place cards, menus and UNO bracket board. Take her all of your ideas and she'll make it happen, in the most classy of styles.

Customization FAQs

All semi-custom designs from Leighwood Design Studio include:

• Wording modifications
• All color adjustments (paper, ink, envelopes)
• High-quality digital printing
• Full-address printing
• Partial assembly

Select designs include modifications to script options. Collections that include response card envelopes will include return postage. You will work with a Designer to customize your suite and make it feel like you, while staying true to the essence of the base design.

This is a great opportunity to order a Sample Pack! Our sample packs include 2–3 full invitation suites along with paper swatches and ink color swatches. If you’re interested in receiving a swatch of a specific envelope or paper color, indicate it in your order notes and we will do our best to provide one with your sample pack. The purchase of your Sample Pack will be credited towards your order when you place it online or through email.

After your order is placed, we will reach out to see when you want to get started on your suite, based on your wedding date and our suggested timelines. We require orders to be placed at least 4 weeks before the date you would like to mail your invitations (generally 10–12 weeks prior to your wedding date). If you place your order months prior to your wedding, we will put you on our calendar so that the delivery of your suites will happen at least one week prior to your suggested mailing date. If you order close to that 4 week mark, you will receive a proof within 48 hours of your order placement. 

Review your total guest list and determine how many of those guests live in the same household. Add an additional 10% on top of that to get your total order amount. This additional amount allows for any guests that move, USPS mishaps, or extra guests you invite after your initial guest list is considered. Traditionally, adult children living with their parents should receive their own invitation.

We’d be happy to have a conversation about it! We keep personalization pretty flexible so long as the essence of the suite remains the same. If there is something you’re dying to have (addition of a monogram, changing the base font, etc.) there will be a customization fee of $100 assessed to cover the additional design time. We also offer fully custom designed invitation suites.

Orders are ready to pick up or ship within 4 weeks. Because of the personalized nature of our design process and our small business practices, we do not guarantee anything shorter than a 4-week turnaround without a rush fee. Unlike some print-on-demand companies, we do not print in-house. We also ensure that quality checks are happening at every point of the process. If you need your order in less than 4 weeks, please contact us at orders@leighwooddesignstudio.com to inquire about a rush.

Because of the personalized and customized nature of the product, refunds on printed materials are not accepted. If there are issues with your order, please contact us at orders@leighwooddesignstudio.com to bring it to our attention. If you placed an order, but no longer need it fulfilled, refunds are handled in these ways:

If no proof has been presented: 100% refund

If a proof has been presented: 75% refund

If a Print Agreement has been signed, but production has not begun: 50% refund

Once Production begins, no refunds will be accepted.
