Happy Tines specializes in creating custom illustrated wedding stationery to bring your paper pieces to life through whimsical line illustrations and calligraphy details. We will work closely together to create a an invitation suite that you’ll want to frame and display as a keepsake for years to come. I like to think of this creative process as a collaboration. If you’re interested in working one-on-one with a designer and having a more personalized experience, then I would love to hear from you!

getting started

Fill out the custom wedding stationery contact form and I’ll send you a questionnaire. We’ll schedule a complimentary call to get to know each other better, go over your questionnaire details & samples. After our call, I’ll send you an itemized estimate that we can tweak until it’s perfect for your vision and budget. Once the contract is signed and your first payment is submitted, you are officially a Happy Tines Bride! Now let the invitation fun begin!

concept look book, design proofs & revisions

I’ll get to work and create a concept look book for you to review with pencil sketches of your full invitation suite. We’ll work together for up to three rounds of revisions, with each proof becoming more refined and coming to life with color. This is the most fun part of the process and is definitely a collaboration!

print production & happy mail

With your final approval and final payment, your invitation suite will be sent to print. I’ll handle all printer communication to ensure everything looks perfect for you! Once printed, your happy paper goods will be carefully packaged and delivered right to your doorstep. Time to mail them out to your guests! Hooray!!

“Working with Caitlin was the best part of the wedding planning process! She’s brilliantly creative. I love her happy, whimsical vibe, and love to see her business constantly evolving. I also appreciate that she’s extremely professional, thoughtful with her communication, and she never shies away from a challenge.”

"I loved how Caitlin is easy to talk to, how everything was so very organized with the proof forms, how the design felt like a mini collaboration, how easy it was to provide feedback, and how quickly Caitlin responded to the feedback. The details on the maps were personal and fun. We received so so so many compliments on how cool the maps were. The guests loved them. Many family members ended up framing them because they looked like a work of art!”

– Marineé

"I loved that I gave Caitlin an extremely vague vision and she was able to come up with different designs for me to give input. After picking our favorite design, our invitation suite evolved from there with tweaks and added personal details. I'm absolutely smitten with our custom map and loved the trifold design on our invitation suite!"
