Custom Wedding Invitations in Philadelphia

Custom wedding invitations typically work best when started three to six months before your wedding date, especially if you want specialty finishes like letterpress, foil stamping, engraving, embossing, or digital calligraphy. This allows time for design, paper selection, proofing, revisions, production, and mailing. Rush orders may be possible depending on the quantity, materials, and finishing methods requested.
