what we do

Save the Dates & Invitations

Set the tone and introduce your guests to your special event in a memorable way. We work with you to create a design that truly reflects your style and story. Details matter, so we offer premium papers, thoughtful trimmings and fine finishes.

Day Of Stationery

Continue the look of your invitations throughout your day while communicating to your guests in style. This may include welcome signs, ceremony programs, menus, seating charts, placecards, table numbers, signage, favor tags, napkins, thank you notes and anything else we can create together.

Celebrations

Whether it’s a shower, birth, graduation, anniversary or birthday, we love to celebrate it all. Our custom stationery creates a reason to celebrate your memorable and unique events. Services include announcements, invitations, party signage, thank you cards and more.

Printing & Design

We do all of our design, digital printing, cutting and assembly in house. This allows us to ensure quality and be nimble when it matters. Through our years of business, we have also established a trusted team of partners for speciality printing. No matter what you dream, you are in trusted hands.

your custom invitation experience

01. Complimentary Initial Consultation

We offer a complimentary, one-on-one initial consultation to discuss your style and vision. As is our trademark, Paperwhites offers careful and constant guidance throughout the process of selecting and creating your invitation. Our goal is to ensure that your style and budget are reflected in the invitation and stationery you’ve chosen.

02. Cost Estimate & Deposit

Within two business days or more, depending upon the complexity of your project, you will receive a quote based on the specifics discussed at your consultation. A 50% non-refundable project deposit starts the design process and will be applied to your final invoice.

03. Wording & Design

Once we receive your content in a Word document, the design process begins. You will work directly with one of our experienced designers. They will assist in the preparation of your wording and help with any etiquette questions. You will be asked to review the content and the layout carefully, looking at each and every detail for accuracy! You will have the opportunity to make two rounds of revisions to correctly capture the vision for your invitation. Additional changes, should they be necessary, will be at a cost of $35.00 per revision. Changes must be communicated via email to your designer.

04. Final Approval & Printing

Once we receive your e-mail approval of your design and confirmation of the quantity needed, we will schedule printing, order paper and embellishments (as needed). Printing time ranges from 2-4 weeks, depending on the method of printing you’ve selected, as well as the availability of the papers you’ve chosen. Paperwhites offers rush printing for an additional fee.

05. Assembly & Delivery

We are happy to assemble and mail out your invitations, or you may pick them up from us and DIY. We will discuss options at your consultation and in your quote. Our assembly schedules range from 1-2 weeks, depending on final quantity and complexity of any handwork you have chosen. If you are assembling your invitations, Paperwhites will provide complete DIY instruction. The final balance of your invitation or stationery is due at delivery.

“Both of our daughters have worked with Deb and the professionals at Paperwhites for their save the dates, wedding invites, church booklets, and wedding day paper. We loved the invitations and all the other paper goods—all of it gorgeous!”

Mary

“I could not have been more pleased with all Paperwhites did to make things beautiful and worry free. The invitations were exactly what I wanted and they assisted us with adding on other items such as place cards and table numbers. Nothing was ever a problem, it was always about how they could help make things good for us.”

Sue & Larry

“We watched a lot of friends try to do their own save the dates/invites and become very frustrated and unhappy with the process. From the moment we sat down with Deb from Paperwhites we knew that she was going to take care of us. They were a huge part of what made our wedding a big success!”
