Christy Townsend wedding invitation designer Columbus Ohio

I DO THINGS DIFFERENTLY

It’s all about the experience.

With 10 years of creating luxury and creative wedding invites, I understand that planning a wedding can be overwhelming, let alone the invitation process. I will provide you a seamless and stress-free experience from the moment we connect to leaving you a novel of an email saying how much I’ll miss our emails once you say “I do.”

My goal is to work with you closely, understand your vision and create a custom-made invitation design that reflects your unique style and personality. From elegant and classic to modern and avant-garde, I don’t shy away from a challenge. In addition to wedding invitation designs, I also offer matching wedding day paper goods to continue the cohesive look and vibe of your custom design.

Your wedding invitation is more than a piece of paper, it’s a forever keepsake of your wedding celebration surrounded by loved ones. If you feel the same in understanding it’s more than ink and paper, then let’s get started and design an incredible memento together.


Below is my wedding design process, pricing and FAQs regarding your custom wedding invitations. You can also email me directly with any questions! Invitation designer in Columbus, Ohio serving couples’ nationwide.

  • Call me ambitious, but right now post COVID, I am telling couples’ 10 weeks. Normally, I would say between 6-8 but it really depends on how many out-of-state guests you have. USPS and I have a love/hate relationship and have had invitations take up to 3 weeks to reach certain mailboxes across the country.

  • 8-12 months prior to your wedding. If you are getting married between June-October, it’s best to reach out right away due to me taking limited amount of couples’ per month. These are highly sought out months that close out the quickest.

  • I have in the past but unfortunately now with how USPS is, I have taken off this service. If you are in a bind, I am more than happy to talk and come up with a plan of action for you. If you are looking for assembly only, we can add this as extra to your proposal.

  • Once I get your approval of your custom curated moodboard, I will send a proof of your ceremony card within 2-3 business days. After that, it all depends on how often we may go back and forth to make your wedding suite absolutely perfect. Typically, 2-3 weeks from start to finish is standard.
