Your invitations are the first glimpse your guests see of your wedding. They should reflect your personality, set your tone, and feel unforgettable in hand. At Mon Petit Paper Co., each piece is thoughtfully designed and letterpress printed one-at-a-time for depth, texture, and elegance.
Exceptional customer service and attention to detail throughout the entire process is at the heart of everything we do.
-
To ensure availability, we recommend booking 6–12 months before your wedding date. Our seasonal schedule fills quickly, particularly for South Tampa and Tampa Bay weddings, and securing your spot early guarantees you have enough time for design, printing, and assembly.
If you’re reading this and past this recommendation, that’s ok! We still recommend reaching out to inquire about availability.
-
You can reach us anytime via our contact page or email. We aim to respond quickly—usually within one business day.
-
Getting started is simple. Reach out through our contact form or schedule a 30-min complimentary discovery call—we’ll walk you through the next steps and answer any questions along the way.
-
Letterpress printing is a handcrafted process that requires precision at every step. From design approval to printing and finishing, expect 6–8 weeks for production. Larger suites or custom embellishments may extend this timeline slightly, which is why early booking is highly recommended.
-
We offer flexible pricing based on project type and complexity. After an initial conversation, we’ll provide a transparent a la carte quote with no hidden costs.
Our wedding suites typically range from $1,500–$3,500+ depending on:
Paper weight & texture
Number of pieces in your suite
Embellishments (foil, edge painting, liners)
Hand assembly and guest addressing
-
We accept Debit, Credit, Zelle, Venmo, and more.
-
YES! For all invitations, you will receive a preliminary digital proof for design and approval. Specific paper and embellishment samples may be available upon request.
-
Yes. We offer professional assembly and addressing services so your suite arrives ready to mail. Options include hand-folding, sealing, ribbon placement, envelope liners, printed addressing, and more, depending on your preferences.
-
Traditionally, wedding invitations are mailed 8–10 weeks before the wedding (or 12 weeks for destination weddings). This gives your guests enough time to RSVP and make travel arrangements.
-
Letterpress invitations are a luxury, handcrafted process. Each piece is pressed individually on antique presses, creating a deep impression and tactile experience. Costs reflect not only materials but also the artistry, time, and expertise required to ensure heirloom-quality results. This attention to detail produces invitations that guests will treasure for years.
-
You’ll need one invitation per household, not per guest. I always recommend ordering at least 10–15 extra sets to cover keepsakes, last-minute guests, and unforeseen issues with the post (USPS).
-
A full invitation suite typically includes:
Main invitation
RSVP card and envelope
Details or accommodation cards
Optional enclosure cards (directions, registry, rehearsal)
Single pieces may include just the main invitation or select cards. Investment varies based on suite size, paper, printing method, and embellishments.
-
The invitation itself should list your names, the date, time, and location of the ceremony. Details like reception info, accommodations, and your wedding website usually go on separate insert cards to keep the invitation clean and elegant. I provide my clients a headache free, easy to complete form - where you’ll put all of the information for your invitation and/or the full suite.
-
There’s no one-size-fits-all rule. Wording can reflect your style (formal or casual) and your family situation. Whether your parents are hosting, you’re hosting together, or families are blended, I’ll guide you through etiquette options and provide sample wordings that fit your story.
-
That’s up to you! Many couples still prefer a traditional RSVP card since it feels personal and formal. However, if you’d like to keep things simple, you can direct guests to reply on your website instead, or we can design a hybrid with both options.
-
Save the Dates go out earlier (usually 6–12 months before the wedding) to give guests a heads-up, while invitations include all the formal details. While Save the Dates aren’t required, most couples choose to send them, especially if many guests will travel.
-
Custom letterpress invitations are an investment in craftsmanship. Pricing depends on your design, number of pieces, and printing methods. Most of my couples spend between $1,500–$3,500 for a full invitation suite. I’ll always provide a tailored a la quote (so you can invest in the details that matter to you most) once we discuss your vision and needs. I also offer digital printing and frequently design/print suites that use a hybrid of letterpress and digital elements.
-
Yes and yes! I recommend at least 10–15 extra sets. They’re helpful if a guest list changes, if you want a few sets for photography or keepsakes, or in case of addressing or postal errors.
-
Addressing etiquette can feel tricky, but I’ll provide a guide and easy to fill out document to make it simple. From couples with different last names to families with children or formal titles, I’ll help you get it right so your invitations look polished and thoughtful.
-
Absolutely. We guide you in creating wording that fits your style and level of formality.
Formal example: “The pleasure of your company is requested at the marriage of…”
Modern example: “Join us to celebrate the wedding of…”
Our goal is to ensure clarity, elegance, and that your invitation reflects the tone of your wedding.
