FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
When should we order our wedding invitations?
Most couples begin the invitation design process about 8–10 months before their wedding date. This allows time for custom design, proofing, printing, and mailing. Invitations are typically sent to guests 8–12 weeks before the wedding, especially for local Toronto and Greater Toronto area weddings.
How many wedding invitations should we order?
Wedding invitations are sent per household rather than per guest. Most couples order invitations for about 70–80% of their total guest count. We also recommend ordering a small number of extra invitations for keepsakes and last-minute additions, and if any flat lays are required for photos.
Can our wedding invitations and signage match?
Yes! Many couples choose to have their welcome signs, seating charts, bar menus, and other day-of stationerydesigned to coordinate with their invitation suite. Matching design elements such as typography, monograms, colours, and artwork creates a cohesive look throughout the wedding day.
What types of wedding signage do you design?
We create a variety of custom wedding signage, including welcome signs, seating charts, bar menus, table numbers, escort cards, place cards, and ceremony programs. Each piece is designed to complement the overall aesthetic of your celebration while helping guests navigate the event.
Do you design signage for Toronto and GTA wedding venues?
Yes. Paper Damsels designs wedding invitations and signage for celebrations throughout Toronto and the GTA, including venues such as Casa Loma, Graydon Hall, Hotel X, Royal Ambassador, The Doctor's House, Arlington Estate, Elora Mill, and many more.
Do you offer fully custom wedding invitation designs?
Yes. Every invitation suite is custom-designed to reflect each couple’s style, wedding aesthetic, and venue. From elegant letterpress invitations to modern digital print minimalist designs, each suite is thoughtfully created to set the tone for the celebration.
How much do custom wedding invitations cost?
The cost of custom wedding invitations can vary depending on the design, print method, paper selection, and the number of pieces included in the suite. Many custom invitation suites include items such as the invitation, details card, RSVP card, and envelopes, with additional options like belly bands, lined envelopes, or wax seals.
Luxury print methods such as letterpress, foil stamping, and specialty papers can also influence the final cost. Each invitation suite is designed to reflect the style and details of the wedding, and we work with couples to create a beautiful and cohesive design that fits their vision and budget.
Do you work with couples outside of Ontario?
Yes. While many of our clients are located in Toronto and the Greater Toronto Area, we also work with couples planning destination weddings and celebrations across Canada and beyond.
