How it Works
We'd love for you to get to know our work before getting started. Browse our project gallery and Instagram to see our latest work, and visit our Facebook page to read what our couples have to say. If you love what you see, here's how it all works.
Design Process & Timeline
Choose Your Design & Format
There are two ways to get started with your invitation design:
Option A — Semi-Custom: Browse our semi-custom collection and choose a design that suits your aesthetic. This is our most popular option — you get a beautifully crafted layout personalised with your details.
Option B — Bespoke: If you'd like something completely one-of-a-kind, our bespoke design service gives you a fully custom creation built from scratch.
Once you've chosen your path, here's how to shop: if you're starting with the Semi-Custom Suite, browse by design first — each suite already includes your printing options and costs. If you'd rather start by choosing a format (e.g. pocket fold, flat card, specific card count), head to our Design + Print Packages instead, then let us know your preferred semi-custom design when you fill out the form. Both routes include design and printing — it's simply a matter of what you'd like to decide first.
You can browse our past projects for inspiration. Note that each blog post lists the components and upgrades used in that project — items still need to be added to your cart individually.
All design & print packages include:
- Wedding / Event Logo or Monogram (AI and PNG files)
- Your choice of design from our semi-custom collection
- Initial design + 2 revision rounds (1 revision for rush projects); additional revisions are available at an added fee
- Digital flat printing on 300gsm premium textured cardstock
- Soft copy of your invitation layout (JPEG or PDF)
Place Your Order & Fill Out Your Form
Once you've placed your order and completed payment, head straight to the Invitation Content Form and fill it out at your own pace. The design timeline begins once your order is confirmed and we have received your completed form.
Invitation Content Form →Payment options include PayPal and bank transfer. For larger orders, a 50% down payment is accepted. For manual bank or wallet transfers, click here for our payment details.
By placing an order, you agree to our Terms and Conditions.
Design & Revisions
For semi-custom projects, your first design proof will be sent within 1 week of your content form being received. Two minor revision rounds are included — any additional changes are available at an added fee.
For bespoke projects, the first draft takes approximately 2–3 weeks. The number of revision rounds included varies depending on the chosen package.
Once your proof is approved, proceed to Step 4 to confirm for printing. View the full timeline here.
Printing Confirmation & Shipping
Once all revisions are approved and you've carefully reviewed every detail, submit the Printing Confirmation form below. This formally closes the design phase and moves your order into production.
Printing Confirmation Form →If you have envelope addressing, you may sign the printing confirmation first and send your addressing list separately to follow.
Envelope Addressing List →Printing typically takes 3–4 weeks. Rush timelines may be discussed — please reach out before ordering.
For Metro Manila orders, delivery is via motorcycle courier. For international orders, we ship worldwide via DHL. A shipping deposit is collected as part of your order — the final shipping cost will be confirmed once your package is ready to dispatch, at which point the balance will need to be settled before release.
Digital Upgrades
Once your printing design is approved, we can begin work on your digital add-ons. These include an online flipbook, an animated video, or a full wedding website. Browse our digital services and add them to your order anytime.
Day-of Stationery
When you're ready to think about your wedding day details, browse our day-of stationery — menus, programs, place cards, and more. Simply reply to the same email thread as your invitation order and our team will take it from there.
Pass the Word Along
If you loved your invitations, the greatest compliment you can give us is a personal recommendation. We'd be honoured if you mentioned us to your wedding coordinator, or to any engaged friends beginning their own journey. A review on our Facebook page is always warmly appreciated as well. Thank you for trusting us with something so special. 🤍
Types of Paper
The following are available paper types for reference. We'll recommend what works best for your chosen design — you don't need to decide on this. We can also print on acrylic. Additional fees may apply for specialty papers.
View all paper and envelope color options here.
House Papers
Lightly textured, available in off-white or creamy ivory. Our go-to for classic invitations. Vellum (smooth and semi-transparent) is also available.
Colored Cardstock
Available in a range of colors and textures (smooth, textured, shimmer) at 220–350gsm. View options here.
Subject to availability.
Handmade Papers
Each sheet is handcrafted with natural deckled edges. Available in specific sizes only and cannot be trimmed. Colors and quality may vary by batch.
Subject to availability.
Hand-torn Edges
A deckled-edge effect achieved by hand-tearing. A good alternative to handmade paper, particularly for debossed or letterpress designs.
Die-Cut Shapes
Cards cut into custom shapes. Simple, clean forms work best. For more intricate execution, we also have lasercutting available.
Envelopes
Our envelopes are die-cut and assembled in small batches, so they do not have adhesive seals along the flap edges. If you plan to mail them through the post office, simply seal with glue or double-sided tape.
Some envelopes may include the Ink Scribbler logo at the artist's discretion. If you prefer no logo, please let us know when submitting your form.

Printing Techniques
Please check your package for inclusions — additional fees may apply.
Digital / Flat Printing
High-quality laser printing. Ideal for small runs and rush projects. Note: metallic colors cannot be reproduced with this method — gold will appear as yellow ochre rather than metallic gold.
Foil Printing
Colored metallic foils applied using heat and pressure. Perfect for metallic colors and prints beautifully on darker paper stocks — including white on dark backgrounds.
Debossing
Design is pressed with a metal plate creating a sunken, recessed effect — similar to letterpress. Ink color is CMYK (not metallic). Also referred to as stamped or pressed.
Embossing
Design is raised using a metal plate. Ink color is CMYK (not metallic).
Blind Emboss
Design is raised without any ink. Best suited for simple, clean designs — intricate details may not translate clearly with this technique.
Blind Stamp
Design is recessed or sunken without any ink. Also referred to as blind deboss or blind press.
Reverse Printing
Available upon request. Please enquire for details.
Direct Printing
Available upon request. Please enquire for details.
Calligraphy Styles
