Our process is structured and intentional. We begin with a detailed design intake followed by a design call where we gather direction, references, and priorities, from the client. From there, we develop a sketch proof to establish the overall creative direction before moving into a formal proof with refined layouts, typography, print methods, and production specifications.

Every suite starts with four pieces: the invitation, envelope, details card, and response card. We then layer in custom artwork, process printing (foil and/or letterpress) for the invitation, custom shaped details cards, envelope liners, ribbon, guest addressing, and full assembly.

Foil stamping and letterpress printing require custom copper plates to be made for each design. Every piece is then hand pressed, often multiple times, to complete the final print. It is a technical printing process that requires experience, and craftsmanship.

FULL SERVICE DESIGN AND PRINT STUDIO

What's included in every invitation suite?

We do not offer template designs. Every project is created from scratch and priced individually based on its scope, size and details. Inquire to tell us more about your event and receive a custom proposal.

What does a custom invitation suite cost?

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?

Yes. We aim to make payment simple and flexible. Each proposal is priced based on the event size, requested add-ons and other details discussed during the design process. We accept all major credit and debit cards, PayPal, and ACH, and offer financing through Affirm and Klarna. Project fees are typically divided into multiple payments based on scope and timeline. If you have questions or need help choosing the best option, we’re happy to help.

Do you offer flexible payment plans?

No. Every Little Something does not source designs from Alibaba or any overseas 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.

Every suite starts with four pieces: the invitation, envelope, details card, and response card. We then layer in custom artwork, one-color printing, and an envelope liner, ribbon, guest addressing, and full assembly.

Can I add more to my suite?

Yes. Most clients build from their starting proposal once they begin designing with Nicole. Folios, booklets, emboss or deboss, handmade paper, and vintage postage are all on the table. We explore these options along with endless others together during the design phase, or mention upgrades in your inquiry form and we can add up front. We offer save the dates, rehearsal dinner paper, menus, programs, place cards, signage, welcome materials, and other wedding day paper to our clients.

What happens after I book?

Once you book, we start with a structured design form and a call to scope your project — so Nicole has everything she needs before a single line is drawn. From there, she designs from a blank page. When the concept is taking shape, we share a sketch proof to make sure we're on the right track before moving into the formal proof stage. Clients receive two rounds of text edits during the formal proof phase to confirm spellings and content are exactly right. Artwork revisions beyond the scope of the project may require additional time or fees. Once the proof is approved, we move into production: printing, assembly, addressing, and delivery.

How long does the process take?

We can complete project with four months before the mailing date. Most clients book us about 9-12 months in advance.
