Bespoke wedding stationery sets the stage for your special day. Your guests’ first glimpse of the celebration comes through these carefully crafted pieces of art. The right invitations create that significant first impression that stays with your guests.

Our curated list of 15 luxury bespoke stationery brands will inspire your 2025 wedding plans. The Knot Invitations prints within four business days and delivers in five to ten days. Other brands focus on detailed artisanal work that captures your vision.

Want to find stationery that brings your wedding vision to life? Let’s look at these remarkable brands together. We’ll start with Joy’s collection, where we create paper masterpieces that tell your unique love story beautifully.

Joy brings together digital convenience and traditional elegance to create wedding stationery that tells your unique love story. Our story started in 2016 when we created a custom website for a family wedding. This simple project sparked our passion to make wedding planning more accessible and personal for couples everywhere.

Joy Brand Overview

We’ve created a natural approach to wedding stationery that combines beautiful designs with electronic and printed options. The platform simplifies wedding planning from invitation to celebration. Each invitation package comes with a matching wedding website at no extra cost. The planning tools help you manage vendor agreements, collect guest information, and build registries. These features turn complex planning tasks into simple ones.

Joy Design Style

Our designs range from classic elegance to modern playfulness. You’ll find the perfect match for your style. We’ve built a rich collection that suits different tastes and wedding themes through collaboration with talented designers like Snow and Ivy. Our accessible design tools let you pick colors, fonts, and layouts that show your personality as a couple, whether you love timeless sophistication or contemporary flair.

Joy Customization Options

Each invitation becomes uniquely yours. Three size options are available:

  • Petite (4.25″ × 7″)
  • Classic (5″ × 7″)
  • Grand (6″ × 8″)

The collection has signature, pearlescent, and recycled paper options. Custom foil detailing adds metallic shimmer to selected text for extra luxury. Looking for something unique? Our design services can modify existing templates, add custom crests or illustrations, or create original artwork just for your wedding.

Joy Pricing

The pricing structure remains simple and quantity-based—larger orders mean better value. Grand format invitations cost $7.20 each for smaller quantities and drop to $3.00 each when ordering 100 or more. Every package includes envelope addressing, a wedding website, design consultation, professional proofs, and unlimited edits at no extra charge.

Joy Production & Shipping

Production takes one to two weeks after design approval. We provide delivery estimates and updates throughout the process. Our print partner Paperlust helps us ship to locations worldwide for couples with international guests.

Joy Best For

Design-conscious couples who want beautiful options will love our service. The same goes for busy couples planning multiple events and eco-friendly couples who value our recycled paper options. We give special attention to detail with unlimited design changes and one-on-one expert consultations.

Minted

Minted has built a special place in the wedding stationery market since 2007. The company works as a design marketplace that connects independent artists with couples who want unique invitations. Mariam Naficy founded this platform and introduced a crowdsourcing approach. The company holds monthly design challenges that let the “crowd” select their products.

Minted Brand Overview

The platform gets creative designs from thousands of independent artists worldwide. Minted produces and sells these winning designs and pays artists a commission for each sale. This business model helped the company grow from a small stationery business to one of the most important players in the luxury wedding invitation market. The company has secured $190 million in capital.

Minted Design Style

The company’s esthetic ranges from classic elegance to modern minimalism. Designs come in formal, minimalist, modern, botanical, vintage, and rustic categories. Premium printing techniques make Minted stand out:

  • Letterpress: Hand-pressed designs on thick cotton paper using vintage Heidelberg presses
  • Foil-Pressed: Heat-pressed foil accents add metallic sheen in seven eye-catching colors
  • Gloss-Press™: A Minted-exclusive technique with debossed gloss for a holographic effect
  • Standard: Digital printing captures fine details with rich inks

Minted Customization Options

Minted takes a different approach than Joy. Couples can customize their invitations in three ways: through their online tool, by submitting a design request, or by creating a completely custom design. They can change shapes, colors, fonts, and add back-of-card designs. The company also provides custom design services with a dedicated artist starting at $300.

Minted Pricing

Couples typically spend $480 on their Minted wedding invitations. Their letterpress invitations cost $485 for 100 single-color designs, with a $90 charge for adding a second color. Custom design services range from $300 for maps to $850 for complete wedding suites.

Minted Production & Shipping

Standard shipping costs $3.95-$9.95 and takes 5 business days after approval. Rush delivery options include 1-day delivery for $34.95. Production times are calculated separately from shipping estimates.

This makes it perfect for couples who want distinctive stationery with premium production quality.

  • Adjust color palettes for text and backgrounds

Zazzle Pricing

Zazzle uses volume discounts instead of seasonal sales. This makes larger orders more economical. With volume pricing, 100 standard matte invitations cost about $117 ($1.17 each). Ultra-thick standard white invitations for the same quantity cost around $195 ($1.95 each). RSVP cards on standard matte paper run about $1.20 each.

Zazzle Production & Shipping

The production usually takes 4-7 business days. Several shipping options are available:

  • Zip PLUS & Zip: Priority manufacturing with guaranteed delivery dates
  • Express: 1-2 business days from shipment
  • Premium: 2-3 business days

Zazzle Best For

Our experience at Joy shows Zazzle works great for couples who want lots of design choices without spending too much. Their print-on-demand system helps couples with tight schedules.

Papier Brand Overview

Papier’s headquarters in Camden, London now serves customers across the United States, United Kingdom, and Australia. The brand specializes in premium individual-specific stationery, which differs from Joy’s all-encompassing planning approach [link_1]. The company has worked with over 40 design partners including prestigious names like Victoria and Albert Museum, House of Holland, and Liberty of London.

Papier Design Style

“A little less cookie-cutter, a little more you” perfectly describes Papier’s design excellence. Their collection features modern, floral, and vintage esthetics printed on premium Mohawk paper.

Etsy serves as a big wedding stationery marketplace where talented husband-wife design teams, illustrators, and calligraphers create personalized invitations. We at Joy love how Etsy gives couples a fresh way to find unique designs that show their personality through the work of independent artists.

Etsy Design Style

You’ll find more design variety on Etsy than with most traditional stationers, with styles for every wedding theme you can imagine. The designs range from clean typography to hand-drawn calligraphy, vintage botanical prints, and modern watercolor art. Each shop brings something special—By Invitation Only’s bold minimalist designs, DIY Paper Boutique’s gorgeous floral invites, or Jessie and the Jabberwock’s custom illustrations.

Etsy Customization Options

Customization makes Etsy special. Most sellers welcome special requests, and many of their popular items started as custom orders. Couples can buy templates to print themselves or get fully-finished printed products. Many designers send proof photos before printing to make sure everything looks perfect.

Etsy Pricing

Wedding invitation templates start at just $2.00, making Etsy budget-friendly without cutting corners on quality. The prices vary based on customization, materials, and printing methods.

Etsy Production & Shipping

Each seller has different production and shipping times. Digital templates are ready right away, while physical invitations usually take 4-6 weeks for custom design, printing, and delivery.

Etsy Best For

While we offer complete planning tools at Joy, Etsy works great for couples who want unique designs or specific themes. On top of that, it works perfectly for budget-conscious couples who want custom touches without high prices, and DIY fans who like to print their own invitations.

Their latest collection showcases photo wedding invitations that “capture the energy of your partnership” through unique views and personal elements.

Mixbook Customization Options

All the same, customization remains Mixbook’s strongest feature. Their editor lets couples:

  • Add personal photos from multiple sources (computer, Google Photos, SmugMug)
  • Edit text styles and layouts
  • Insert stickers and backgrounds
  • Upload custom graphics

This creative freedom will give each invitation a personal touch instead of a mass-produced feel.

Price plays a big role when picking your invitation suite. Here’s the good part – luxury doesn’t have to break the bank. Basic Invite starts around $1.60 per invitation with lots of customization options, while Dear Annabelle provides exceptional craftsmanship at premium prices. Each couple can find options that line up with their style and budget.

Time to produce becomes a vital factor as your big day gets closer. Mixbook can turn things around in just 1-2 business days, like in our efficiency at Joy. Handcrafted pieces from Smythson and Dear Annabelle need several weeks to create their artisanal designs.

Your wedding stationery gives guests their first peek at your special day. Design, paper quality, and personal touches work together to set the tone for your wedding theme. The right stationery partner will help bring your vision to life.

These paper treasures should feel like you instead of just following trends. They become keepsakes that tell your love story for years ahead. Joy would love to help turn your wedding dreams into beautiful reality with stationery that captures your essence as a couple.
