Designing your wedding invitations with Pickett's Press is a thoughtful, collaborative experience. From your first inquiry to mailing your finished suite, the process takes approximately 6-8 weeks.
For the most relaxed and enjoyable experience, we recommend beginning the process 6 months before your wedding date to allow ample time for design and mailing.
Here’s what happens during that time:
Inquiry & Private Design Consultation (Week 1)
Your experience begins with an inquiry through our website. Within 48 hours, we personally connect to schedule your private design consultation.
During this call, we refine your vision — discussing aesthetic direction, print methods, paper selections, suite components, and meaningful enhancements. Every detail is considered with intention.
Proposal, Design Direction & Reservation (Weeks 1-2)
Within 72 hours, you receive a tailored proposal and initial design direction.
Once your deposit is submitted, your production space is reserved and your custom suite officially begins.
Bespoke Design Development (Weeks 2-3)
Design begins immediately.
Over the next several weeks, we thoughtfully refine your suite — typography, layout, color, paper, and finishing details. Curated paper and print samples are sent so you can experience the textures and craftsmanship firsthand.
Multiple proof rounds ensure every element feels polished and cohesive before printing.
Final Approval & Artisan Production (Weeks 4-7)
Once your final proof is approved and your balance is complete, your suite enters production.
Each piece is carefully printed, pressed, foiled, or engraved using time-honored techniques. Production typically requires 10–15 business days, depending on the print method selected.
Assembly & White-Glove Mailing (Week 8)
After production, your invitations arrive at our studio for finishing.
We meticulously stuff, seal, stamp, and prepare each envelope for mailing — or carefully package your completed suite for personal delivery.
