Paper & lettering
Need help creating
the invitation?
Covered. The invitation is the first thing your guests see of the event, and it should look like it belongs to the room they are about to walk into — so we design it in the same hand as your signage and your styling.
Step one
Design
A one-off design fee. Every design comes with a print-ready PDF and a phone-sized image you can text or post, at no extra cost.
Semi-custom
$30
One of Ellee’s existing layouts, set with your wording, your colours and your photo. One round of changes included.
Fully custom
$45
Drawn for you from scratch — illustration, hand lettering and layout, built around your palette. Two rounds of changes included.
Matching suite
$70
Invitation, RSVP card and details card designed together as a set, so the whole envelope reads as one thing.
Day-of paper suite
$125design & print
Programs, menus, place cards, table numbers and a seating chart, all matched to the invitation and to the signage on the day. Priced for up to 100 guests; larger counts quoted.
Extras
Additional revision round — $25
Rush, under 10 business days — $65
Digital-only file, no printing — design fee only
Step two
Printing
5 x 7 flat card on 120 lb cotton stock with a plain envelope. The more you print, the less each one costs. Felt, pearl and recycled kraft stocks are available at the same prices.
| Quantity | Each | Total |
|---|---|---|
| 25 | $2.60 | $65 |
| 50 | $2.25 | $112.50 |
| 100 | $1.95 | $195 |
| 150 | $1.75 | $262.50 |
| 200+ | $1.60 | $320 |
Design fee is separate. Minimum order 25. Postage is not included — a standard 5 x 7 invitation usually posts at the regular first-class rate, but anything with a wax seal or a thick liner needs hand-cancelling and costs more.
Step three

Planning
When to start
| Save the dates | 6–8 months before |
| Invitation design starts | 4–5 months before |
| Invitations mailed | 6–8 weeks before |
| RSVP deadline | 3–4 weeks before |
| Day-of paper finalised | 2 weeks before |
Showers and birthdays move faster — three to four weeks from first message to invitations in hand is normal.
