Wedding Invitations

custom watercolor wedding save the dates & invitations

The paper you select to send to your guests gives them a preview of what to expect of your wedding. Small nuances in etiquette, paper type, printing method, and assembly indicate who is hosting, if your ceremony will be religious or held in a place of worship, the formality of dress, and overall feel.

When working with Design House of Moira, you’re selecting a company with over a decade of experience in the wedding industry. We vow to guide you along the design process, selecting papers, creating art, and managing printing to create a flawless experience for your wedding.

In the next step, you'll receive a digital proof with your completed design layouts, complete with your custom calligraphy, artwork, and event details. Our dedication to creating a product that you absolutely love means that you can have as many rounds of proofing as is necessary, with the acknowledgment that we plan for about three rounds of proofs with our initial timeline estimates. Additional proofs can add 1-2 weeks to your timeline, and we always keep an eye on the calendar for you to ensure your invitations remain on schedule. Final proofs must be signed off for approval before production, checking the spelling, ink colors, printing descriptions, etc. 

Following the printers, we then address all your invitations, assemble, stamp and stuff all your envelopes. Once this is all done, final payment will be due before your pieces are mailed.

Then into the post they go!

DESIGN PROCESS

Are you in love with watercolor wedding invitations? Unique assembly? Interesting papers and textures? Thinking outside the box? So are we!

After you’ve become totally obsessed with our Instagram feed and invitation gallery, shoot us a message and start the conversation! We love to hear all your ideas, what you love, what you’re obsessed with, and what you are dreaming of.

We’ll set up a phone call or email to chat about all your idea so we can have idea of your aesthetic, your personality, and how we can make all your dreams into reality.

From there, once we have your basic information, including quantity and printing type and have put together a prefect quote for you, we can move to a contract to secure our services and design work. A deposit of 30-50% (depending on the scope of the project) of your estimated design cost from the proposed quote will be due with the signing of the contract (this can be flexible if need be). 

Following the signing of the contract, we will create a sketch to map out our ideas for all the pieces we have planned for you. The sketch is a very integral part of our design process, and from this initial sketch is how we plan out your artwork, custom lettering and font development, paper types, and assembly details. The beauty of a custom order is the opportunity to create one-of-a-kind designs where every detail is based on something that has meaning specific to you.



As always, our goal is to make your save the date and invitation design smooth and stress fee, while setting the tone for your overall wedding with unique elements and styling that reflect your style and personality!

Why choose us 

All of our designs are custom and artwork based, include unlimited artwork and calligraphy, as well as full production, including sourcing materials best suited for your design and budget, printing, all assembly, stuffing, applying postage, and mailing.  We mail from the historic Benjamin Franklin Post Office here in Philadelphia where your invitations will be hand canceled with Benjamin Franklin’s signature (which means your envelopes aren't processed through the machines that smash the poor things).

Our average wedding invitation suite includes an invitation (of course), printed envelope, reply card and matching envelope with printed artwork, reception card, overlay (we love printing on gorgeous silky smooth vellum), and personalized assembly details like custom wax seals or hand-dyed ribbon.  All our envelopes are lined with custom envelope liners to match your suite and printed with our signature style of your artwork tumbling down the front or back with your return address.
