for locals
We’d love to have you stop by! Here’s how it works:
1. Schedule a consultation and we’ll arrange for you to meet with one of our knowledgeable consultants, who will guide you through every step of the process.
The meeting will start with a few questions about your event. Is your wedding a formal event, or a casual backyard affair? How many guests will be attending?
After they know a bit about your needs, they will show you designs that match the feel of your event. Scriptura is a wonderful resource: we will guide you to what is appropriate for you and your budget. We never want our brides to end up with something too trendy or that doesn’t set the right tone for their guests. We want you to be as happy with your invitations when you are looking at them on your golden anniversary as you are right now.
2. Once you’ve decided on a design, we’ll work with you on the wording. We have years of etiquette experience and can explain everything from the significance behind certain invitation phrasing, or why you need double envelopes instead of just one.
3. At this point, we’ll take a 50% deposit and begin the process of creating your invitations. You’ll get a digital proof from us in a couple of days. Once you approve the proofs, we’ll print the invitations. The whole process takes a few weeks for wedding invitations, or about a week from proof approval for casual party invitations.

for those out of town
We work with clients all over the country—and the world.
While we, and our lovely shop dogs, would love to see you, we don’t mind a long-distance relationship. Here’s how the process works
1. Start by looking over our invitation collections online. If you see something you like, great! Too many choices? We can guide you to just the right invitation for your event. Fill out our consultation form, and we’ll have one of our consultants get in touch. They will ask you a few questions about your event and help you to get started on the process.
2. After you and your consultant have discussed and finalized your order, we’ll collect a 50% deposit and begin creating your invitations. You’ll receive a digital proof of your design to review and approve before printing.
3. Wedding invitations take around 3 weeks to ship (after you’ve approved your proofs). Party invitations are faster, usually about a week from proof approval. We can ship directly to you, wherever you are.
