A personal, full-service design experience for custom invitations, semi-custom suites and wedding-day details, with every piece shaped around the celebration itself.
The wedding you’re imagining, shaped into a visual story
CUSTOM INVITATIONS, SEMI-CUSTOM SUITES + WEDDING-DAY DETAILS
Custom invitations begin with an original design created for your celebration. Our Ready-to-Wed semi-custom collection begins with a suite you already love, then becomes your own through color, typography, paper, printing, and finishing details. Wedding-day details carry the visual story into the menus, place cards, programs, signage, and pieces your guests experience throughout the day. Each service includes personal guidance and close attention from the first ideas through final production.
Three ways to begin shaping the look and feeling of your wedding
We begin with the atmosphere you want to create and the details that already feel meaningful, then develop the color, typography, artwork, paper, and print direction around them. Each piece is considered for its place within the wedding, from the first envelope in the mail to the menus, programs, place cards, and signage guests encounter on the day.
A close, creative process for the paper and details your guests experience from the first envelope through the wedding day.
The Design Experience
A PERSONAL, FULL-SERVICE DESIGN EXPERIENCE
— Roosha H.
“I couldn’t say enough good things about Lively House and Home Calligraphy. Lauren is literally a godsend, and made my wedding invitations and all of my day of stationery … something that stood out. I interviewed over 25 vendors and Lauren was the most accommodating, most understanding, and most flexible. We framed our wedding invites, they were truly a dream come true.”

our process
wondering how it all works?
You’ll see the work come together through thoughtfully prepared proofs. We’ll refine the wording, layout, artwork, color, paper, and finishing details until every piece feels complete.
Design and refine
We’ll begin with how you want the wedding to feel, then shape the color, artwork, typography, paper, and print details around it. From there, I’ll create a visual direction that feels distinctly yours and can continue from the invitation into the wedding day.
Explore the visual direction
Share the date, setting, guest count, the pieces you’re considering, and anything already inspiring you. We’ll talk about how you want the wedding to feel, along with timing and investment, before I prepare a proposal for the project.
Begin with the wedding
Once everything feels right, the designs move into production using the papers, print methods, and finishing details chosen for the project. I work closely with trusted printers and skilled craftspeople throughout production, then prepare each piece for delivery to you or your wedding team.

Ready-to-Wed Invitations
THE READY-TO-WED COLLECTION
explore ready to wed →
- Ceremony programs, welcome notes, and signage
- Menus, place cards, escort cards, and table numbers
- Seating displays, bar menus, food signs, and custom signage
- Napkins, matchbooks, coasters, favors, and custom paper details
- Large-scale displays and select on-site installations
The design can continue through the ceremony program, the escort display, the menus at each place setting, the bar, the tables, and the smaller details guests discover throughout the celebration. Color, artwork, typography, paper, and materials become part of the setting itself, carrying the look and feeling of the wedding into the spaces your guests experience.
Your wedding-day details may continue the invitation suite or begin with a new direction created especially for the celebration. Either way, each piece is considered for where it will be seen, how it will be used, and the part it plays in the guest experience.
The invitation introduces the visual story. Wedding-day details allow your guests to experience it in person.
