Once you have selected a semi-custom collection that you love you can submit a semi-custom invitation inquiry form. After your quote request is received, we will connect with you to schedule a 45 minute virtual or in-person consultation. During this meeting we shall discuss in more detail colours, themes, etc. you are planning for your big day and how we can incorporate that into your wedding stationery. By the end of this meeting, we will have all the information required to put together your preliminary quotes. You will receive an email shortly after where you can review your quote details.
For a semi-custom design, the average RSD couple invests around $2,000 - $4,000 CAD.

Every proposal is custom created for each couple. Once your proposal is ready to review, you will receive a link to your online proposal via email. Your proposal features your mood board based off of your individual wedding aesthetic, and a breakdown of all costs, including a non-refundable $500 graphic design fee. This fee covers all of the graphic design time needed to make your dream invitations come to life!
Once everything looks good to go on your proposal, you can sign the client agreement form and submit your deposit. Then the fun begins!
Proposal
At this point, once we have all of the info and details for your wedding we begin designing. Within 10 business days of your order being placed you will receive your first round of design proofs; your order includes 2 rounds of revisions.
All proofs for your suite will be available to review via email.
During this time we will also proofread your suite, confirm colour selections, and final details. Please allow 6-8 weeks for the entire semi-custom designs/production process.
Design & Refine
After you've given your final signature of approval, your invitation suite is sent off to print! We are proud to work with extremely detail oriented printers local within the GTA. They take the utmost care of each suite to ensure quality and consistency.
Please note that expected delivery dates are subject to how quickly we move through the design process. Regardless of the design and printing method selected, it takes a minimum of two weeks to print and produce an invitation suite.
Final Approval
Time to raise a glass and cheers to delivery day! Here at Royal Stationery Design we offer full assembly and mailing services for all couples. If you choose to add this in, we will assemble, stuff, and seal all invitation suites for you.
If you would like to assemble yourself, we will send all items needed to assemble your invitation suite in one big box. Please note industry standard is to mail an invitation suite out 8 - 10 weeks before the wedding day and 10 - 12 weeks for destination weddings.

Typically we advise our clients to mail save the dates 6-8 months out from their wedding date, however, if the majority of guests are required to travel from out of town or our clients are having a destination wedding, we then recommend sending out save the dates 10-12 months out.
In terms of when to order, if you plan to have your save the dates digitally printed, you can place your order 4-5 weeks before you need them in-hand*. For upgraded print methods such as letterpress or foil, you’ll need to place your order 6-8 weeks before needing them in-hand*. In-hand means they have already completed the entire design & production process and are delivered to you at that point.
Remember to allocate additional time after they deliver to you for stuffing, stamping, and mailing (if these are not services you have added to your order).
It typically takes about 6-8 weeks for semi-custom invitations to be designed, proofed, & printed. However, when working with fully custom invitations typically the process takes closer to 10-12 weeks.
When mailing your wedding invitations, they should be sent out 8-10 weeks before the wedding, with the invitations going out no more than 12 weeks before the wedding (with the exception of destination weddings); otherwise, you will be tracking down all the guests that forgot to return the rsvp card.
This is one of the most asked questions we get - and we totally get understand why! It can be tricky, while you want to ensure you are left with a handful of invitations to spare after sending your invitations out, you also want to make sure you don't have way too many left over. Which is why we are here to help!
When deciding how many sets you need, remember, you are counting the number of households that you are sending invitations to, NOT the number of people being invited. We ALWAYS recommend ordering between 5-10 extra suites sets for the “just in case/last minute add-ons”, 1 clean set for the photographer for the morning of photos, a few clean sets for keepsakes and of course one to frame for yourself!
We recommend that you order these pieces (programs, menus, tags, table numbers, escort cards, etc.) three weeks to a month before the wedding once you have your final guest count and all the fine details ready and approved for these pieces.
We are happy to customize any of our collection suites to fit your specific needs. For the most part, the general design and layout of each piece will remain the same, but wording and colours will be tailored to each individual client.
In addition to wording and colour customizations add-ons and embellishments such as envelope liners, belly bands, wax seals, ribbons, etc. can also be added to your order.
If you have any additional questions regarding customization please send us a message via the Contact Form with specifications of your customization so that we can email you back and discuss how we can assist you further.
For quality control, for our semi-custom collections any pieces that mail together are the same printing process and paper choice. This guarantees that the ink colour is the same throughout the mailed pieces, and the paper is cohesive.
However, for our custom design work, as we work with a larger range of print methods and paper stocks we do allow for the mixing of print methods. This is due to being able to design the suites in such a way to ensure that the ink colours used on all pieces despite the different print methods are complimenting throughout the entire suite.
To quickly summarize the difference between our Custom work vs. our Semi-Custom suites is that your invitations are created with only you in mind - we work one on one with our clients to create a one of a kind invitation based on their unique vision. For us that means working with a selection of print methods, stock colours, embellishments, custom monograms and more.
Whereas our semi-custom invitation process starts as with a client selected pre-designed template and then is customized to their specific needs and requests.
The main difference with these suites is they do not have as many customization options. Instead, there is the option to choose from a few pre-selected print methods and embellishment options that compliments each suite.
