Your wedding stationery is the first glimpse your guests will have of your wedding in Tuscany, Lake Como, or a historic Italian villa. European wedding invitations should not only reflect the beauty of your chosen venue but also set the tone for the experience ahead. Whether you’re looking for a pre-designed suite curated for European weddings or a fully bespoke design from scratch, we provide a seamless, guided process. Every detail is handled with care—including translation, material selection, and coordination with your wedding aesthetic—to ensure an effortless experience.
Here’s how our custom European wedding invitation process works.
Step 1: Choose Your Approach
Every couple has a unique vision, so we offer two ways to bring that vision to life.
Option 1: Choose from Our Curated Italian Wedding Suites
For couples who prefer a stunning, ready-to-customize suite, we provide a collection of designs inspired by European wedding destinations.
- Our suites are thoughtfully designed to reflect the charm of Tuscany, Lake Como, and Italian villas.
- Personalization is available, allowing you to adjust colors, wording, and materials to suit your style.
- With a quicker turnaround, this option is ideal for couples who want a refined, elegant invitation without starting from scratch.
Option 2: A Fully Bespoke Design, Created Just for You
For those envisioning something completely unique, we begin with your venue, personal style, and wedding aesthetic to craft an exclusive invitation suite.
1: Share Your Wedding Vision
- Provide details about your venue, inspiration, and design priorities such as materials, finishes, and printing techniques.
- Let us know if you require bilingual wording or translation assistance.
- Explore elevated print methods, including letterpress, gold foil, wax seals, vellum, and handmade paper.
2: Initial Concepts & Sketches
- We develop hand-drawn sketches featuring design ideas tailored to your wedding.
- After reviewing these concepts, you can refine and provide feedback before we move to digital proofs.
3: Refinement & Proofing
- Through a series of digital proofing rounds, we adjust every element until the design is flawless.
4: Printing & Assembly
- Your invitations are printed on the finest materials and can be assembled for a polished, ready-to-send suite.
