FULL SERVICE DESIGN AND PRINT STUDIO

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.

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. Please note: we only take one day-of client per wedding weekend. Our availability is therefore extremely limited for day-of production. 

What does custom wedding stationery cost?

Every Little Something wedding commissions are quoted individually based on design scope, guest count, materials, printing methods, and day-of pieces. 

What does a commission include? 

Your proposal is built specifically for your wedding and may include save the dates, a custom invitation suite, specialty printing, and day-of stationery - if available. 

Why does fully custom wedding stationery cost more than templates or do-it-yourself options? 

You are paying for original design, creative direction, fine materials, skilled craftsmanship, specialty printing, hand assembly, and the time required by an artist to create something that did not exist before your wedding — and will not be recreated for someone else's.

We do not use templates. We never create or use AI-generated artwork, stock or outside artwork, and no designs reused from past weddings. Every illustration, pattern, monogram, layout, and detail is created specifically for your celebration. This requires time and expertise from a SCAD-trained artist and an experienced digital marketer.

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.

We accept just two full-service weddings per month. While projects can be completed within six months, we strongly recommend booking nine to twelve months ahead to ensure availability.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

No. We never use templates and don't offer semi-custom designs. 

Every Every Little Something wedding begins with a blank page. We do not maintain a semi-custom collection, reuse previous clients' designs, or take an existing invitation and change the colors, names, or venue. There are excellent template and semi-custom studios for couples who want a faster, more affordable process. That is simply not what we do.

We do not use AI to create artwork, illustrations, or design concepts, and we do not accept AI-generated images as inspiration or creative direction from clients or prospective clients.

When we begin the design process, we ask about your wedding, your vision, and the Every Little Something work you are most drawn to. From there, we have real conversations about what you love, what matters to you, and how those ideas can be interpreted through our studio's point of view. We do not use AI mockups to reverse-engineer a design or extract individual elements for our artists to recreate.

We also do not offer unlimited revisions. Commissioned art has always relied on trust between the client and the artist. Our process is structured so that the important artistic decisions happen during the design call and sketch-proof stages, when ideas can be discussed, refined, and developed together.

Once the formal proof has been created, clients receive two rounds of text edits for wording, names, dates, spelling, and other written details. The formal proof is not the beginning of an unlimited redesign process.

In the age of AI, we believe this approach matters even more. Art can now be generated and regenerated almost endlessly. That is not what we offer. We create original work through conversation, interpretation, skill, and artistic judgment. That requires trust, creative autonomy, and a willingness to let an artist make art.

That is how original work is created in the AI era, when sameness, repetition, and lower-quality output are becoming increasingly common.
