A wedding invitation is the first thing your guests hold. Before the flowers, the music or the venue, it tells them how the day will feel. Bell'INVITO has spent two decades making that first impression with engraving, letterpress, foil, embossing and hand-painted edges, and making sure every word on the card is correct.

The Whole Suite, From Save-the-Date to Day-Of
One stationer, one design language, from the first announcement to the last place card. Ordering every piece together keeps paper, ink and lettering consistent, and setups are shared, so the whole suite costs less than ordering piece by piece.
| Piece | When it's needed |
|---|---|
| Save-the-dates | Mailed 6–8 months out (8–12 for destination weddings). Letterpress save-the-dates begin around $1,835 for 30. |
| Invitation suite | Invitation, reply card, details and reception cards, envelopes and liners. Mailed 6–8 weeks out. |
| Day-of papers | Programs, menus, escort and place cards, and signage, ordered from your final reply count. |
| Thank-you notes | Matching correspondence cards for the notes you'll write after the wedding. |
Choose Your Printing Method
| Method | How it looks and feels | Investment |
|---|---|---|
| Engraving | Crisp, raised ink with the telltale impression on the reverse. The most formal choice. | $$$ |
| Letterpress | Ink pressed into soft cotton paper. Tactile, quiet, modern or classic. | $$ |
| Foil stamping | Metallic or pigmented foil with dimension and shine. | $$–$$$ |
| Combined | Engraving with blind embossing, letterpress with foil, hand-painted edges. | $$$+ |

How we workThe Bell'INVITO Etiquette Promise
Your words deserve the same attention as your paper, colors and design. Every client is offered Heather's guidance on the hosting line, formality, names, enclosure cards and envelopes, so you always know what best etiquette is for your situation, and the final choice is always yours. It's the same guidance she has given readers of Town & Country, Harper's Bazaar and The Washington Post. The Bell'INVITO Library covers the essentials if you'd like a head start: formal invitation wording, how to address your envelopes and who should receive an invitation.
Your guests will forget the favors. They keep the invitation.

Questions Couples Ask First
- How much do custom wedding invitations cost at Bell'INVITO?
- Suites customized from our Bespoke Collection begin around $4,000 for 50 sets and $4,650 for 100. Completely custom commissions are quoted individually and typically range from $5,000 to $20,000 or more. Every quote covers the complete suite, not just the card.
- How far in advance should I order?
- Begin eight to ten months out. Engraved and letterpress orders ship about three weeks after proof approval; completely custom work takes four to five weeks. Invitations mail six to eight weeks before the wedding.
- What's the difference between engraved and letterpress?
- Engraving raises the ink and leaves an impression on the back; it's the most formal process. Letterpress presses ink into the paper for a soft, tactile finish. Engraving is typically the higher investment.
- Do you also print save-the-dates and day-of stationery?
- Yes. Letterpress, engraved and foil save-the-dates begin around $1,835 for 30, and programs, menus, place cards, signage and thank-you notes are designed to match your suite.
- Do you work with couples outside Dallas?
- Yes. Consultations are by video, samples and proofs ship to you, and finished suites ship to you or your planner anywhere in the country.
- What if my guest count changes after I order?
- Adjust it during proofing — order the lowest quantity you think you'll need, and increase it before you approve your proof. Added quantity is usually settled when your order is ready to ship. Changes after approval are the expensive ones. Design time spent on proofs is non-refundable.
- Do you offer addressing, assembly and delivery?
- Yes, on request: calligraphy addressing, assembly and concierge delivery. In busy seasons these are first come, first served, so let us know early.
- Can I see the paper before I order?
- Yes. Paper and print samples are available for most suites, and every order includes a proof before anything goes to press. The proof deposit is applied to your final order.
- Is wording and etiquette help included?
- Always offered. Every client can have Heather's guidance on best etiquette for their situation — hosting line, names, enclosure cards — and the final choice is always yours.
