5 out of 5 starsThis is the second or third purchase I have made from Gilded Swan, and I highly recommend them. Everything I ordered is even better in person and the extra gifts added to my order are so beautiful! So kind!

5 out of 5 starsArrived quicker than expected, and they turned out beautifully! Julie was able to accommodate the color palette we were looking for, and was able to add a photo to the back of one of the cards for us. She sent a preview before printing the cards so I could OK them first, and was accommodating when I asked for a couple adjustments to the text. Overall I'm very happy with my invitations! :)

5 out of 5 starsI know this is just the sample order, but it makes me so excited to order from this shop when we're ready to get our wedding invitations. Julie was so kind and let me know that although one of my choices couldn't be sent, I could replace with whatever I wanted. And wow, she sent so many samples!!! It's going to be difficult to choose which one to go with because they're all so nice!!

5 out of 5 starsJulie was wonderful to work with! We had our save the dates customized to include 4 different dogs and it turned out perfectly! Our family members (and the owners of the dogs) loved the nod to our extended canine family. Julie was quick to respond to our request and the save the dates arrived wonderfully packaged and in great condition. The quality of the paper used was top notch. We have nothing but good things to say about working with The Gilded Swan Paperie and highly recommend their products.

5 out of 5 starsMy fiance and I have worked with Julie for three separate orders, and everything has been absolutely perfect. Julie is very attentive to detail and responsive. We had many questions and details to add to our invitations and Save the Date cards, and she answered all of them. We received superior customer service, and the finished product was gorgeous. We have received so many compliments on our stationery. We got exactly what we wanted! If you care about details like wedding stationery and want to lean into the vintage theme, I highly recommend going with Julie.

Frequently asked questions
What type of printing do you do?
I print my paper goods on a Heidelberg printing press, not a digital or laser printer. My invitations use real printing inks and not toners which is what digital printing uses. Real inks just set into the paper deeper and richer, they are not shiney like digital printing tends to be.
Because most of my invitations are based on imagery from the 1850's - 1930's, they are uniquely vintage. I use original illustrations that are 100-150 years old and they have imperfections, textures and a weathered look. If you are looking for perfection, I might not be your gal. I love vintage and all things that come with it!
Ordering process
Once you purchase your save the date listing or your $100 deposit, and submit your wording/color requests, you will receive proofs via email within 24 hours. Your purchase comes with three rounds of revisions. Any revisions after are charged at $25 per revision. This does not include unlimited color proofs to choose from.
Once you officially approve your design and purchase any remaining balance, your invitations are sent to press and take 3-5 weeks for production and another 2-4 business days for the mail in the US.
WHAT'S NOT INCLUDED?
Metallic foil printing is not included unless you ask and purchase this. Envelopes are not included unless you ask and purchase them. Everything is a la carte so you can pick what works best for you!
Custom and personalized orders
Because every wedding couple is so unique, it's almost impossible to order invitations with just a click of a button. What can you change?
-- Wording
-- Colors
I spend hours researching the perfect fonts for the era of each design. Therefore, only certain fonts can go with each suite. Design fees will be charged to change fonts. It's not as easy as a click of a button, sometimes, the entire design changes when fonts are revised.
Full pricing guide is located here:

ALL INVITATIONS COME FLAT PRINTED (non-metallic) unless you request and purchase metallic foil. All envelopes are blank unless you ask for printing. Both options cost additional. Please contact me to set these features up for you.
Can I order samples??
Please do! I am a paper hoarder and I would love to clean out my closets. But seriously, ordering a physical sample is the ONLY way to see, feel, touch what your final product will look like. There are so many variables and stress factors associated with planning a wedding, ordering a physical sample will eliminate a lot of that stress. Due to the custom nature of design and printing, I do not offer returns so purchase with confidence and order samples:

And a full array of videos of all of my papers in action:

Are custom colors available?
Besides being a paper hoarder, I am a color addict and love coordinating my designs to your wedding palette. Submitting a digital swatch or mood board with your order helps me greatly. But please confirm before you place your order just to make sure your color vision will work with whichever design you choose. Your purchase comes with three rounds of revisions which includes one color study.
I am not taking on any from-scratch, fully custom designs so what you see in my shop is what I have to offer. My designs look fully custom as they are very unique, but they cost a fraction of what a fully custom design would cost you.
Perfectly Imperfect
Because most of my invitations are based on imagery from the 1880's - 1930's, they are uniquely vintage. I use original illustrations that are 100-150 years old and they have imperfections, textures and a weathered look. Moreover, my guest books are hand made and the binding may have a slight crease on the ends. If you are looking for perfection, I might not be your gal. I love vintage and all that comes with it!
