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!

Submit Your Order
Once submitted, your order is reviewed and we will reach out to provide a questionnaire to gather all your information & to schedule a Style Meeting.
All orders require a minimum of six weeks production time.
The Design Process
After your order is confirmed, we get to work! We will curate your color palette for your invitation suite and provide a digital proof for your review. Up to three rounds of revisions are included with your suite. Once your final proof is approved, you will release your order for production.

Digital printing takes about three weeks to complete, with specialty printing taking an additional week. Once suites return from our trusted print partners, they are quality checked and pre-assembled before delivery.
Suite Delivery
Local pickup is available for those living in St. Louis. Otherwise, your suite is shipped and shipping charges are included in your order pricing. Orders are delivered at least one week prior to your suggested mailing date (10–12 weeks before wedding day).

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.
