New Jersey, New York, and Pennsylvania wedding invitations
Your wedding invitations are the beginning of your story
Congrats
You've got the date, you've got the venue and photographer, and now you're ready to tackle your wedding invitations
on your engagement!
Welcome beautiful couple! I'm so excited you're here and considering using me to design your wedding invitations and paperie. I know you're looking for a dedicated, detailed designer with experience and if you are...you've come to the right place.
With a Bachelor of Fine Art's Degree in Visual Communications
Graphic Design, I've been designing invitations for 20+ years for over 2,000 couples in the New Jersey, New York, and Pennsylvania areas.
My approach to designing your wedding invitations is this: less of a cookie-cutter approach and more of me understanding you as a couple, getting to know you and your story, and then crafting a unique customized invitation suite for you to invite all your honored guests.

Your dream wedding is within reach
ready to be flawlessly designed.
Imagine this: you give me all the details of your love story: how you met, hobbies you have together, what you love about each other, etc. Within a few weeks of that conversation I deliver an impeccably detailed, custom-tailored design of your invites straight to your inbox. You receive a hard copy to give to your photographer on your wedding day to capture the suite in all its beautiful glory. Meanwhile, I'm hand-stuffing, sealing, and mailing your invitations to loved ones. Wedding day arrives and everything looks beautiful from the table numbers to the seating chart.
You can't believe this is YOUR wedding.

Services Include:
Whether your style is “Trendy, Classic or Seashore Chic”, or you need Save the Dates, Menus, Signage, Day of Details or Rentals, I can design the elements that tie your day together. I provide a truly custom experience to give you a product that matches your unique design aesthetic. Don’t just send an invite to your guests – send a creative extension of your love.
Since my invitations are 100% custom and personalized, it’s always a good idea to get started as soon as you can. On average, our design and production process takes 4 - 5 weeks from your final approval, until your invitations are on your doorstep and ready to go.
We recommend ordering your wedding invites at least 6 to 12 months before your wedding.
Wedding Invitation Suites

Just like you and your soon-to-be, your wedding day details should be a perfect match! We can help take care of the “little” but essential details, making sure your style and design is carried throughout. Let us put the perfect, coordinating touches on your day with menus, table cards, escort cards, seating charts, ceremony programs, signage, hotel guest boxes and more. We want these details and décor to say just as much about you as your invitations do!
Day-of Details

Although many “brides-to-be” enjoy stuffing their invitations, many are very busy and simply do not have the time.
When it comes to your wedding day, you should focus on what matters – dresses, cakes, shoes, flowers and more!
We can address, stuff, stamp and post your invitations for you. Simply email us your guests’ addresses in a word file, alphabetized by last name. We will review the list for any inconsistencies and send it back to you for updates. Once that’s done, we’ll take care of the rest!
We recommend mailing 3 to 4 months prior to your wedding.
Please inquire for pricing.

Stephanie is probably one of the most professional and down to earth vendors I have worked with
She connects to her clients by really trying to find exactly what they are looking for and then provides a multitude of samples and ideas. She provides a high quality product that is on time and delivered beautifully. Her work is very exceptional as I have assembled nearly 1000 of our own invites and each is perfect. Stephanie Somodi comes highly recommended and I will chose to use her each and every time a special invitation is needed.

The Process
Consultation and Estimate
We begin with a personal consultation – in-person, by phone or FaceTime, based on your location. Let’s chat about what inspires you. Your vision. Tell me a little bit about your wedding day. Following the consultation, I will email an estimate (usually within 1 week), for you to review and approve.
Time frame: Approximately 1 week
Creative Design
Now this is where the fun begins!
I will use your inspirations, ideas, personal style and wedding details to create a fully custom invitation proof.
A PDF file (PROOF) will be emailed to you for approval, along with a formal contract that outlines total costs, timetables and approx. delivery dates, for review.
Time frame: Approximately 2-3 weeks
Production
On average, production of the total invitation ensemble takes 4 to 5 weeks. Timing varies based on scope of the design, required materials and printing methods selected. Once complete, we ship your order to you via UPS.
Time frame: Approximately 4-5 weeks
Pricing
We prefer to print our invitations digitally; however, we offer additional print methods such as gold foil, thermography (raised lettering) and letterpress. These alternate print methods will incur an additional cost and add’l timing, based on method selected.
Due to my work being exclusively unique and custom tailored to each couple, every project is quoted separately.
