Custom Wedding Stationery

Formerly Rust Belt Love

The Fully Bespoke Experience

Custom is where we design your suite from a blank page — your story, your colors, your artwork, no template underneath. We work with you one-on-one from first sketch to final press run, with unlimited proofs and no shortcuts. The whole thing, made only for you.

Why custom?

From the first consultation to the final printed suite, every element is designed for you — artwork, layout, color, paper — all of it built around your story. Nothing pulled from a shelf. Unlimited proofs mean we refine until it's exactly right. Every suite is printed in our Buffalo studio and finished by hand, so the invitation feels as considered as the day it's announcing.

What sets us apart?

A truly custom touch

Whether it's your flowers, a map, your venue, or your pet, we'll draw a custom illustration for your suite — the kind that makes guests say "I knew this was yours before I even saw the names."

Made entirely in-house

Because we produce everything ourselves, we control the stocks, the colors, and every final detail — and each piece is assembled by hand here in our Buffalo studio.

Frequently asked questions

Order

What makes it worth it?

Our one-on-one service is a different experience than ordering invitations online. We walk you through every piece of your stationery and how to make it feel like you. In over 15 years we've seen just about every kind of event – formal, casual, traditional, not – and every flavor of complicated family, and we can steer your design and wording through all of it.
Do we need to make an appointment?

We prefer a quick video or phone chat before we start. Our small-business superpower is reading your personality and style and bringing it out in your stationery – and hearing it from you directly is the first step to getting it right.
How far in advance should we start?

Start the conversation any time, but the sweet spot is 6–12 months before the wedding (12–18 for destination weddings with Save the Dates). We take a limited number of weddings each year to make sure every couple gets our full attention – so book early. The minimum we need for custom design is four months before your event. Don't have that kind of time? Check out our semi-custom collection!

Investment

Because every suite is built from scratch, we quote after we talk — but here's the range. Digitally (flat) printed suites start around $2,000 for a layered or double-thick invitation, RSVP, and envelopes. Letterpress and metallic-foil suites typically start around $3,500. With add-ons, most couples land between $4,000 and $6,000 for a full suite. Everything is line-priced in your proposal, so you choose the pieces that fit your vision.

We love a coordinated suite, from Save the Dates to day-of details. Save the Dates start at $995 and usually run $2,000–$3,500 depending on style and quantity.

We also design for showers, engagement parties, anniversaries, and religious ceremonies — really any event you want to make an impression at. Send us your event type and quantity through the intake form and we'll put together a sample proposal and next steps.
