Why is Wedding Stationery So Expensive?

Why is Wedding Stationery So Expensive?

It’s totally a fair question.

When you start planning a wedding or event, you’ll probably notice that stationery can add up fast. Invitations, envelopes, inserts, postage - it’s no small feat and something we certainly acknowledge in our studio. 

But when you order from a small creative studio like Molly’s Paper Co., you’re not just buying paper. You’re investing in design, artistry, time, and a personalized experience that brings your story to life.

 

You’re Not Buying Paper, You’re Commissioning Art

Every suite starts with a blank page and an idea that’s entirely yours.

No templates. No shortcuts. Just hand-illustrated art built around your color palette, theme, and venue details.

Behind every finished invitation are hours of sketching, revising, and refining.

It’s not just ink, it’s imagination.

Our motto: If we can draw it, we can print it.


The One-Stop Shop Effect

At Molly’s Paper Co., we design your suite, coordinate printing, manage proofs, and package everything ourselves. That means you don’t have to juggle multiple vendors - we do it all for you.

And because we talk so often, our clients usually become friends. We text about envelope colors, share sneak peeks, and celebrate together when the first samples arrive.

We send photos of everything, from ribbon choices to paper stacks, so you always feel part of the process.

That one-on-one collaboration is what makes working with a small studio so special.

 

You’re Paying for Experience, Time and Craftsmanship

Each suite takes months to perfect — from sketches and revisions to printing and assembly. Every change, color adjustment, and proof review takes care and patience.

When you hold your invitation, you’re holding dozens of thoughtful decisions that ensure it’s just right.

It’s not mass production - it’s craftsmanship.

 

Quality Over Quantity

We're obsessed with paper - the weight, the texture, the tone. Linen, matte, cotton, kraft - every surface creates a different feeling.

That tactile experience is what transforms stationery into a keepsake.

Your guests might not know why it feels luxurious - they’ll just know it does.

 

The Moment It Clicks

“We didn’t realize we were paper people until now.”

That’s something a client once told us - and it’s the best compliment we've ever received.

Because that’s when it all clicks. People who thought stationery was just another box to check suddenly realize: oh… this is art.

That's the heart of what we do - helping people fall in love with the details.

To make them paper people, one suite at a time.

 

The Real Reason It Costs More: It’s Personal

When you work with me, you’re not hiring a large company - you’re connecting with a person who cares deeply about your day.

We'll fuss over the perfect shade of blush, the curve of your lettering, and the way your suite feels in your hands.

Every piece is made with purpose, patience, and genuine excitement for your story.

So yes, stationery can be expensive.

But it’s also meaningful, lasting, and one of the few parts of your wedding you’ll keep forever.

It’s not just paper. It’s your story, beautifully told.
