To celebrate, I’m pairing this visit with one of our curated invitation suites designed with Italian destination weddings in mind. Elegant, tailored, and rooted in place, this suite evokes the sophistication and romance of a celebration at Balbianello.

Why not have a little fun with your place settings? One of our favorite styling tricks is incorporating name cards into the menu design. Whether they’re clipped, layered, tucked, or tied—this little detail adds a personal touch and makes each setting feel extra intentional.

It's a simple way to elevate your table and wow your guests from the very first glance.

Have you thought about combining your menus and name cards?

Your venue isn’t just a location — it’s part of the story!
We’ve curated a collection of hand-drawn venue sketches and watercolor illustrations that can be added to any of our wedding suites. From historic villas and countryside estates to personal landmarks, each piece is crafted to bring a sense of place to your paper goods.

You’ll find select illustrations already available, with more being added regularly — and yes, we offer custom venue illustration also!

📬 Let’s Talk Postage! 💌

Planning to mail your wedding invitations? Here’s what you need to know:

✨ Weigh Before You Pay – Heavier invitations (like suites with inserts, wax seals, or vellum) may require extra postage. Take a fully assembled invite to the post office to check!

💌 Non-Machinable? – Square envelopes, wax seals, and thicker envelopes need special handling, which means a non-machinable surcharge.

📮 RSVP Envelope Postage – If your guests are mailing back RSVP cards, don’t forget to stamp those envelopes for them!

✈️ Destination Weddings? – International invitations require different postage rates, so be sure to verify before sending.

💡 Pro Tip: Always do a test mail! Send an invitation to yourself before mailing them all to ensure they arrive in perfect condition.

Here’s to finding peace, gratitude, and love in the simple joys around us. Wishing you all a Merry Christmas full of warmth, wonder, and togetherness. 🎄✨"
