Custom Invitations
Are you someone who wants something different than what every other person sends for their invitation? Something that will make your friends and family want to keep them for forever? Welcome to Slate + Brush Design Studio custom invitations! I don’t design for the average person. I design for the person who loves to stand out and make something beautiful.
For my custom invitations, I start with a blank piece of paper and go from there. I will learn more about your event, more about you, and what you do and don’t like in order to create the most perfect invitations you could ever imagine. Whether you want to add foil or a painting of your sweet pup, I’m here for it. Need table numbers or signage or even wine bottle favor labels to match back to your invites? You got it. I’m all about the small details that really tie everything together. We’ll make it happen and I promise to make the invitations your favorite part of the event planning process!
What is the investment?
For 100 custom wedding invitations suites, pricing starts at $2,500. All artwork is hand-painted or drawn by me (no stock images here!) in order to fit your wedding vision perfectly and I use the best, most luxe materials from across the U.S. for all of my invitations. I know how difficult wedding planning is, so I always try my best to make it as easy as possible, like by mailing a keepsake suite to your photographer before the wedding so that you don’t have to worry about remembering to bring an extra suite on your wedding day. I also love surprising all of my incredible clients with gifts/upgrades when mailing their suites as well as months after their wedding!
What is the design process like?
After you fill out the above questionnaire and I will reach out to you via email to set up a phone call to go over different options and learn more about what you’re looking for. I’ll then send you a quote for you to review along with a contract and can also mail you physical samples so that you can see and feel the paper in person (pictures don’t do invitations justice!). Please note that 50% of the deposit is due up front, and then the rest of the payment is due right before printing after everything is confirmed and signed off on.
Following a phone call where we discuss your love story, wedding ideas, and what you’re looking for, I’ll get started on your main invitation card designs. I love to post my painting process, so be sure to follow me on Instagram for some behind-the-scene sneak peeks of your invites! You’ll first receive three different design options through my CRM program Dubsado with different wording, fonts, and layouts. You can note any changes or adjustments that you’d like made and then a revised design will be sent. Once the design is approved, I will design the rest of your suite to match perfectly.
Once everything is printed and looking beautiful, you will be mailed the invitations so that you can send them to your friends and family! If you need any day of items like place cards, signs, or even personalized cocktail napkins to match your invites, I can work on those for you as well.

LOVE NOTES from previous clients
“I cannot say enough good things about Slate and Brush! The whole process was fun, easy, and completely customizable! If you are looking for amazing quality, pure talent and uniqueness, Sarah is your girl! From the first time we talked, she understood what we wanted and made the whole idea come to life better than I could have ever imagined! She is also extremely thoughtful with her surprises along the way:) I can’t wait for my next event to use her again! P.S. get extra copies...they will make great wall art!”
“Sarah was very professional and easy to communicate with in creating our beautiful invites for my daughter’s birthday. Quite a visionary and can’t wait to work with her again!”
“Sarah was an absolute pleasure to work with!! She designed my wedding invite suite and I could not be happier with the final result. She is by far one of the easiest vendors to work with and her work is truly beautiful. Very quick to email responses and she keeps you updated along the way while creating your invite suite. I asked to make a few changes along the way (regarding wording/coloring/format/etc.) and every time I asked Sarah if something was possible or if we could change something, she didn’t hesitate. I just received my wedding suite yesterday, truly beautiful. Sarah even went to the post office for me prior to shipping my package and put stamps on all my RSVP envelopes! She beautifully packages your entire suite in nice little boxes, everything was individually wrapped in a cute trendy tissue paper, it was truly a nice extra touch. She also included a little something extra for us (a personalized notepad), sent an invite suite directly to our photographer and gave us an invite suite for our keepsake box. If you are questioning working with Sarah, DON’T !! She was truly amazing and I couldn’t be happier with the product.”
“Working with Sarah was such an easy and fun experience. My save the dates for my wedding turned out to be even better than I could have imagined all thanks to Sarah’s professionalism and creative mind. For anyone like me who doesn’t know where to start when it comes to invitations and save the dates, Sarah is your Go-To, she is the best and her pricing is extremely reasonable. Highly recommend Sarah/Slate and Brush!!”
“I can’t say enough amazing things about working with Sarah! She was extremely responsive and communicative throughout, starting with designing our vision for our invitations through the printing and shipping process. We ended up reaching out to her fairly last minute for help with programs and wedding signs and she delivered quickly and flawlessly on those as well! Sarah, you truly made a hectic process feel so easy and fun. We cannot thank you enough!”
“If you need someone to help you with your wedding invitations (or ANY type of invitation) or any other type of artistic deliverable - run to Slate and Brush. Sarah is phenomenal and her work is beyond real. She works with you and is able to guide you with her expertise (which is so what I needed) and is ultimately able to create the best work of art for you! Our wedding invitations are insanely amazing and I can’t wait to continue to work with her for other items we need the day of the wedding!! Sarah, thank you a million times over for being so responsive and helpful during this whole process!”
“Sarah made our save the dates and she was an absolute pleasure to work with. She created a magnet for us and it exceeded our expectations!! We are so excited to work with her again on our wedding invitations. I would highly recommend working with Sarah without any hesitation!!”
