Semi-Custom and Fully Bespoke: Compared
Are Semi-Custom or Fully Bespoke Catholic Wedding Invitations Right for me?
At Gallitzin Press, our mission is to bring Catholic beauty and sacred art into the lives of those you love through artfully crafted paper goods. Your wedding is a blessed opportunity to evangelize family and friends through witness to your faith and the treasures of the Church. We have designed two paths to accomplish this: semi-custom Catholic wedding invitation suites, and a fully bespoke custom design experience.
Gallitzin Press Semi-Custom Catholic Wedding Invitations
Most Gallitzin Press couples elect to choose from our pre-existing designs with the ability to change select elements such as font colors and even true vintage motifs.
We have many different options to choose from, with more being added. From illuminated manuscripts to baroque Eucharistic artwork, each of our semi-custom Catholic wedding invitations is a chance to evangelize your guests well before your wedding begins.
The semi-custom choices, due to the streamlined process, have a quicker turnaround time and a lessened price point.
It’s best to initiate your semi-custom Catholic wedding invitation choice at least 8 weeks before your mail-by date, although some options are available as soon as 6 weeks after your order. Most couples choose to mail their invitations suites 12 weeks before their wedding day to allow ample time for guests to RSVP.
Bespoke, def. : custom-made, hand-crafted, designed to a client’s exact specifications
Fully Custom Catholic Wedding Stationery
For the couple whose vision extends beyond our semi-custom collections, the Gallitzin Press bespoke experience, available for a select number of bookings per year, allows you to work one-on-one bringing your inspiration to life through carefully selected design elements and numerous revisions.
Couples interested in the fully custom experience should inquire at least 7-8 months before their wedding day to allow time for the creative process. The earlier the better, as we can even tie in your save the dates, which are normally sent up to one year before your wedding.
The investment for bespoke suites, due to the increased design time, is higher than the semi-custom price point.
Bespoke couples may also choose to add day-of- paper services such as menus or our signature Traditional Latin Mass wedding booklets to seamlessly bring their design into all elements of the wedding.
