Custom Invitations
Completely unique, entirely yours.
Completely unique, entirely yours — a one-of-a-kind custom wedding invitation suite designed from scratch to tell your story. With fully custom, we collaborate closely to design a truly unique suite from the ground up. This includes unlimited fonts, ink colors, envelopes, access to all library artwork, and a dedicated budget for custom illustrations like venues, pets, crests, or maps. Additional options include specialty printing, custom die cuts, vellum wraps, envelopes, assembly, and more — every detail is crafted to reflect your style and story.
what we can do for you
off the shelf Invitations
Effortlessly beautiful stationery, thoughtfully simplified.
The Off the Shelf Collection was created for couples who want the beauty of custom stationery — without the custom timeline. Each suite begins with one of our signature designs, thoughtfully crafted to reflect the charm and elegance of coastal celebrations.
Choose your favorite aesthetic — from watercolor crests to venue illustrations and line art details — then make it yours through personalized colors, icons, and wording.
Semi-Custom Invitations
Start with a favorite design and personalize every detail.
Start with a design you love, then personalize it with fonts, colors, and details to make it uniquely yours. This option begins with a base design from our library of work and allows you to fully customize it using our extensive array of fonts, ink colors, envelopes, icons, florals, and venue artwork. Semi-Custom is perfect for couples who want a personalized suite without fully custom art, with optional upgrades such as specialty printing, vellum wraps, and envelope liners.

her work is stunning"
"Kate is a pleasure to work with-
Kate is SUCH a pleasure to work with and her work is stunning and extremely high quality. We initially used Kate for our save-the-date cards, and after having such a positive experience and receiving such incredible feedback from our guests we ended up using her for our wedding invites and thank you cards too. She is very professional, highly responsive, and extremely thoughtful (which helped us ensure our invites were logical and included all key elements). We would absolutely use her again and strongly recommend her to others.

i cried when they arrived"
"I do not know where to start -
I was looking for a classic and fancier invite that would not break the bank and Elated Paper Co supplied just that!! I was so excited to find a local artist who knew the exact look to portray the timeless style of my wedding location, Newport, RI. I, of course, cried when I got the invites because they were even better in person. My fiance, who like most has ZERO clue about this wedding planning, was even impressed and stunned! Kate made edits quickly and understood all my nervous notes. I highly recommend the addressing and envelope lining upgrade. Kate's envelope addressing template made it seamless for me to understand how to portray my guest information correctly. The addressing made them pop. Elated Paper is the perfect place to find the invites you are looking for!

prompt and professional"
"Amazing from start to finish
Kate has been AMAZING from start to finish. She answers promptly and is very professional. Her work is beautiful and one of a kind! I started working with Kate for just my wedding invitations, she worked with me to create a beautiful suite. However, she will also be doing my day of wedding materials too! I highly recommend using her - she will make your vision come true!

exquisite designs"
"One of my favorite elements
The suite that Kate created for our wedding weekend was absolutely one of my most *favorite* elements of the celebration. She created such incredibly exquisite designs down to every last detail. I was blown away at her timely execution considering all of the unique requests. Today is our one year wedding anniversary and paper is the traditional gift so my husband and I have Kate's beautiful pieces framed on the walls of our new home.
