Our process is clear, intentional, and built to protect the quality of the work. We do not template, copy, or design by committee. We guide each project from the first conversation through production, assembly, and the event itself.

frequently asked questions

What's included in your invitation suites?

As is standard practice for commissioned design studios, all custom artwork created by Every Little Something remains the property of the studio, and copyright is retained by ELS. Use of the artwork is subject to ELS’s discretion.
When ELS is retained to produce day-of goods, artwork is reused within that scope without additional licensing, making the process straightforward and cohesive. Clients who wish to use the artwork on items ELS does not produce may request to purchase usage rights, which are evaluated separately.

Can I use ELS artwork on other pieces for my event?

Yes. Every Little Something regularly designs custom stationery for international and destination events. We are especially well known for Italian and Italian-inspired celebrations, as well as events in France, Ireland, and Thailand. Our process is well suited to destination planning, allowing us to create bespoke stationery that reflects the location, tone, and scale of your event—wherever it takes place.

Do you design for international events?

No. Every Little Something does not source designs from Alibaba or any marketplace. All design is created in-house by Nicole, exclusively for our clients. Any listings claiming to sell our work on third-party platforms are unauthorized. Our work has been stolen and misrepresented on external marketplaces.
Clients should verify authenticity before purchasing or engaging with any third-party listings.

Do you design for events other than weddings?

Yes. We are commissioned for baby showers, birthday celebrations, bar and bat mitzvahs, Christmas and holiday cards and other meaningful milestones. Our work is designed for clients who value custom, highly considered paper and presentation across every detail of the event.

Custom Art and Design
Your suite is created from scratch by Nicole, guided by your wedding, aesthetic, priorities, and overall vision. We begin with discovery, then develop original artwork, composition, typography, and creative direction so every detail feels connected, personal, and elevated.

Process Printing
Your invitation includes multiple print processes, selected to support the design and overall guest experience. This includes foil or letterpress, with options to upgrade to deboss or emboss. We guide the production choices, including print method, color, paper, texture, and finishing, so the suite feels intentional from the first impression.

Envelope Liner & Ribbon
Envelope liners and ribbon are included to bring depth, texture, and a finished presentation to the mailing. These elements are selected as part of the full design direction, so they complement the artwork, paper, color palette, and overall style of the suite.

High Quality Paper
We use papers selected to support specialty printing methods like foil and letterpress. By default, these papers are higher weight and often have more texture, which gives the suite a richer feel and stronger finished impression. After the design call, we share paper samples that align with the creative direction, print methods, and color theory.

Personalized Details
There are no limits to what we can create, and our custom process gives us room to explore the elevated touches we are known for and that you see throughout our online portfolio and social feed. This may include custom folios, unique shapes, layered artwork, specialty paper details, or other personal elements that make the suite feel more distinctive, meaningful, and entirely your own.

How long does the process take?

We book invitation projects 9–12 months before the wedding date, and the full process — from booking to invitations in the mail — takes approximately 9–12 weeks. Because day-of stationery often involves a large number of custom pieces, production details, finishing, assembly, and tight delivery timelines, we only take on 2–3 day-of events per month. This allows us to give each event the focus, care, and execution it deserves.
If you know you want day-of paper, we recommend starting early.

Every project includes two rounds of text edits after your formal proof is delivered. This is your opportunity to refine wording, correct details, and make sure everything reads exactly right.
We are not a studio built around unlimited revisions, because that is not how we produce the work we are known for. Our process depends on clear direction, thoughtful decisions, and trust in the design work once it is underway.
Changes to art direction, design layout, or overall creative direction fall outside of text revisions and will be scoped separately with updated fees and timelines.

What's your approach to pricing?

Every project is built around the client’s vision, event needs, guest experience, materials, print methods, production complexity, and timeline. Our best clients come to us because they want something original, elevated, and deeply connected to the event — not because they are looking for the cheapest path to paper.
We do not publish fixed packages or one-size-fits-all pricing. As a general starting point, clients should expect to invest close to $10,000 for custom invitations, with day-of stationery often requiring a similar investment depending on the scope. There is flexibility in how a project is built, but truly custom work requires the right budget, trust, and room to create.
