Absolutely! Our designers specialize in creating custom wedding invitations that seamlessly integrate with your wedding theme. By working with us, you’ll receive a design tailored to your specific theme, colors, and overall aesthetic. Our goal is to create invitations that not only invite but also excite your guests about the upcoming celebration.

Our wedding invitations are not just cards; they are a bespoke experience. Living in Charleston, a hub for destination weddings, has refined our approach to creating stationery that stands out. We focus on every detail, ensuring that your custom wedding invitations reflect the uniqueness of your relationship and the elegance of your event. Our designers go beyond the norm to create invitations that are both beautiful and meaningful.

The timeline can vary depending on the complexity of the design and the specifics of your order. Typically, the production time for custom wedding invitations is about 4 weeks, starting from the approval of your final design. However, considering the initial consultation, design phase, potential revisions, and final approval, we recommend beginning the process at least 3-4 months before your wedding. This timeframe ensures there is sufficient opportunity for revisions and adjustments without rushing, leading up to the production phase.

Yes, we offer a full suite of wedding stationery, from save the dates and bridal shower invitations to place cards and menu designs. Our designers ensure that every piece of stationery matches the style and theme of your wedding, providing a cohesive and elegant look throughout all your wedding materials. By choosing Dodeline Design, you ensure a consistent and stylish presentation for your entire wedding.

Yes, you certainly can! We proudly showcase our extensive gallery of custom wedding invitations design work online. This collection reflects the wide range of styles, themes, and personal touches we’ve created for our clients, highlighting our commitment to crafting unique invitations for each couple. Browsing through our gallery can provide you with inspiration and a sense of our design capabilities, helping you envision the possibilities for your own wedding invitations.

Absolutely! We frequently work with clients planning destination weddings or those who live outside our local area. We specialize in designing printed wedding invitations for clients worldwide, using online consultations, phone calls, and emails for a personalized service. Although we don’t offer digital-only designs, we ensure convenient printing near you. Our approach is tailored to meet your needs, no matter your location.

For clients needing wedding invitations quickly, we advise inquiring about our rush order service. While we have discontinued our readymade design offerings, our rush service accommodates tight timelines without sacrificing the bespoke quality and style we’re known for. Reach out to us directly to discuss how we can expedite your custom invitation process to meet your urgent needs.

For a personalized consultation, you have a couple of options depending on your preference and location. If you’re able to visit our studio, we’d love to book a face-to-face consultation where we can discuss your ideas in detail. If visiting in person isn’t feasible, we offer phone consultations or you can email us directly to talk through your ideas. We’re flexible and aim to work in the way that’s best for you.

Of course! If you’re still in the browsing phase and aren’t sure what you’re looking for, we’re happy to provide free samples. This allows you to see and feel the quality of our work firsthand, helping you make an informed decision when you’re ready. Simply request samples through our website, email us, or book a time to chat or visit our studio at your convenience. We’re here to provide the information and inspiration you need, without any pressure.

Absolutely! Understanding the different printing techniques can indeed be complex, but that’s where our expertise as one of the top wedding invitation designers comes into play. We’ll guide you through each option, from thermography to letterpress to flat printing and foil, explaining the nuances and benefits of each. Our goal is to find the perfect match for your style and budget, ensuring your custom wedding invitations design beautifully reflects your vision.

Each printing type offers a unique look and feel. For instance, thermography results in a raised, slightly shiny finish, ideal for adding a touch of elegance. Letterpress, on the other hand, presses the design into heavy paper for a textured, matte look. Flat printing is smooth and versatile, suitable for a variety of designs on high-quality Crane stock. Lastly, gold foil printing adds a luxurious feeling with a shiny finish, especially striking on thick stock with beveled edges. We’ll help you choose the right method to bring your custom wedding invitations to life.

Choosing the right printing method depends on several factors, including your aesthetic preferences, the theme of your wedding, and your budget. During our consultation, we’ll discuss the look you’re aiming for and show you samples of each printing technique. Feeling the texture and seeing the quality in person makes it easier to decide which method aligns best with your vision for your custom wedding invitations.

Photos can’t fully capture the tactile qualities that distinguish different printing methods. For example, the subtle sheen of thermography, the deep impression of letterpress, the smoothness of flat printing, and the reflective gleam of foil are all more apparent in person. That’s why we recommend viewing samples or visiting our studio if possible, allowing you to see and feel the differences firsthand, ensuring you make an informed decision for your wedding invitation card design.

Our extensive experience as wedding invitation designers in Charleston has equipped us with the knowledge to balance aesthetic desires with budgetary constraints effectively. We believe in transparent communication about costs and alternatives, helping you understand the price implications of different printing methods and design elements. Our aim is to work within your budget to create custom wedding invitations that don’t compromise on style or quality, ensuring you’re delighted with the final product.

Absolutely! We thrive on creating new and different designs, catering to a vast range of styles and price points. Whether it’s a simple invitation and RSVP card, custom illustrations, or crafting individual wax seals, we’re excited to hear your unique ideas. Our experienced wedding invitations designer, Sarah Reed, has the creativity and expertise to make your vision a reality. No matter how unique your idea might be, odds are good we can make it happen.

Sarah Reed, our lead designer, brings over a decade of experience in wedding invitation design. With a BFA from the University of Georgia and experience in scrapbooking stores, Sarah possesses a deep understanding of the craft. Her expertise and creative vision make her an invaluable resource for couples wanting to create unique and interesting wedding invitation card designs. If you’re looking to make a statement with your invitations, Sarah is your go-to expert.

We specialize in a wide range of printing techniques to suit every style and budget, including engraving, letterpress, foil, laser cutting, and simple digital printing, alongside custom wax seals and more. Our goal is to provide you with high-quality wedding invitation printing that aligns with your vision. With over 10 years of specialization in this field, we have the experience and resources to bring your custom wedding invitations design to life.

Yes, we are a full-service wedding invitation studio capable of handling everything from design to mailing and assembling your invitations. We understand that our clients have busy lives, so we offer comprehensive services for those who prefer not to manage the mailing process. We provide updates with photos through each step—printing, lining, wrapping, stuffing, stamping, sealing—to ensure your invitations are perfect. We even handle postage verification and delivery to the post office, ensuring your invitations are mailed out flawlessly. 

Note that postage verification and post office delivery, ensuring flawless mailing, are part of this additional service, not the standard package.

We encourage your involvement at every step of the design process to ensure the final product perfectly captures your vision. From the initial consultation to reviewing samples and making adjustments, we work closely with you to select the right materials, design elements, and printing techniques. Our collaborative approach ensures your custom wedding invitations reflect your unique style and story, with expert guidance from our designers to bring your ideas to life beautifully.
