The Details

We are a completely custom design and print studio. We create every concept from a blank slate, with your vision and direction at the forefront of what is to be created. As a studio, we do not believe in a “semi-custom” direction as no two couples or event should ever align to a template. This unique opportunity allows us to collaborate and design a one-of-a-kind treasure to not only excite your guests for the event to come but to memorialize your day.

After we receive your intake form, we’ll provide you with an initial quote to review. If you are ready to move forward, we will send you a secure payment link for the deposit which reserves a spot in our calendar and establishes your unique timeline. The first step in our process is sharing our Design Form to help shape the vision you have for your paper. This is completed in preparation of our Dream Meeting, where we speak in detail about the vision and direction of your pieces.

Our pricing is unique to each inquiry. Budget, guest count and special add-ons will influence the total investment. We do our best to come up with a scope of work that respects the ideal budget. All projects start at $4,500 regardless of count.

Save the dates are quoted at a 2 piece mailing, this includes the mailing envelope and save the date card.

Invitation suites are quoted at our minimum offering of 4 pieces, this includes an envelope, invitation card, details card and response directive card. Clients do have the option to have a traditional, mailing response envelope added to make their suite a 5 piece mailing for a fee.

We will first work on your Save the Dates and Invitations using the initial deposit, with the remaining amount is due before the invitations are sent to print.

Should we be scoped for day-of goods, those items will be priced separately and can be reserved in advance.

Initial development of timelines are based on the client’s desired mail date and our studio’s production calendar. We are typically booked 9-12 months in advance, so we encourage clients to reserve their spot should they be interested in working with ELS.

Once a deposit is received, we will develop and share a timeline for the Saves and Invitations based off the desired drop-date provided by the client. It is the clients responsibility to closely follow these timelines to avoid any rush/ late fees.

Our custom process typically takes between 10-14 weeks depending on current calendar and scope of work.

We pride ourselves on capturing your vision and nailing down direction during your Dream Meeting. Following the meeting and review of your Design Form, you’ll be provided with a rough sketch to align on direction before any artwork is created. Once the rough sketch is approved, we move to the art creation phase where your suite will be designed and formally mocked up in digital files for your review and approval. Two rounds of text edits are included in your mock up which include changes such as timing or misspellings.

Due to the custom nature of our suites and the unique artwork for each design we create, changes to approved direction/ art would incur additional design fees which are evaluated per request.

ELS handles all design and production of your suite from start to finish.

Your suite will be digitally guest addressed or hand-scripted in Nicole’s unique hand per your selection.

All suites are assembled and mailed for our clients at no additional cost. Clients do have the option to have the assembled suites packaged and mailed to them for a fee.

ELS offers clients the option to purchase rights to the custom artwork should they be interested in using the art on items ELS is not equipped to produce. All typical day-of goods will be handled by our studio to ensure brand consistency and quality.

ELS retains copyright of all artwork created and can be used at the studios discretion.

Returns for items purchased through our Shop are not accepted.
