FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Your Paper Stylist typically attracts couples that are typically paper lovers like we do, so they allocate a larger portion of their budget to wedding stationery (about 6% of their total budget). We provide options in a variety of price ranges for my clients. However, if you are looking for an exceptional invitation suite with all the luxury finishing options, packages start at $800 for custom designs (foil, letterpress, acrylic). If you have an idea of what you’d like, then request a quote, and we’ll put together your custom pricing proposal. Do you need help deciding which options are right for you? Then send us a message with your questions or to set up time for a phone consultation to chat about all the options. For a set of 100, pricing starts at $450 for flat printing, $600 for screen printing, $800 for letterpress or foil stamping. These price quotes include the invitation, holder, rsvp, and blank envelopes with the standard customization options (changing the wording, colors, and fonts). You can fill out the wedding inquiry form, and we’ll prepare a custom quote just for you.
