You might not realize it, but if you’ve ever worked with Meg from La Vie En Rose (aka, an APW sponsor we love), then you have probably worked with her husband, Aaron, too. Aaron is the brains behind Bojack Studios, the design company that’s into offering you fully customizable wedding invitations and other paper goods (including digital metallic ink, thermography, and letterpress options) that are created in the same land that dreams come from. Want more? Let’s discuss.
Bojack Studios offers two type of wedding invites: you can choose from their collections (which can be tweaked and changed to match the colors and style you want) or start totally from the ground up to create your own bespoke designs. Bojack Studios is also in the process of launching custom “wedding branding,” which is where they work with you to create an overall design board for your wedding—including a monogram, color palette, and fonts—that you can use to work with any of your other wedding vendors to help refine your decor concepts.
Got that, guys? With Bojack Studios, your wedding is kind of its own masterpiece. Aaron spent a lot of time working in the fashion industry, where the process often involves taking inspiration pieces and turning them into new designs. This gave him a pretty incredible skill set: he can take your Pinterest board, your ideas, your late night rambling emails, and turn them into wedding stationery that is going to make you use all the dancing emojis your latest phone update has to offer. Versatility is his thing, and he’ll absolutely get you and your style down.
Let’s talk about why else they’re one of the best things happening to the world of wedding paper.
you are encouraged to off-road your wedding invites
So, sure: Bojack Studios has so many incredible designs that are totally wedding-friendly and incredibly lovely… but you know what really makes Bojack Studios refreshing? You can go all out with your wedding scheme if you want to. Looking for a wedding invitation suite based on Games of Thrones? He’s into it. If you want to add Beyoncé lyrics to everything? You can. And feel free to go to town with your unique wording ideas.
This is on TOP of the berth of customization options Bojack Studios offers: every single bit of work they produce is always completely customized. We’re talking colors, fonts, text, layout, and so on. If you need it, you can design it. Bojack Studios won’t push you into one template or the other (there are actually no templates anyway), and they make the design work with your words and your vision. This is true even if you purchase your suite from the standing collection, since the team is more than happy to match your inks and suggest variations on the typesetting and layout.
In fact, Bojack Studios’ pricing was designed with customization in mind. As Aaron explained:
When I was setting up my price list, I decided that it was important to be mindful of the fact that not everyone wants RSVP cards and inserts and such. So I created several different types of sets—there’s something for people who want online RSVPS, those who only want to send inserts to certain guests, and so on. I strive to be flexible in both design and fulfillment.
And as for those prices? 100 wedding invitations come in just under $200, and completely custom designs start at $300. So, you know, basically what you’d pay at a big one-size-fits all stationery store, but with all the customization of a small business run by an indie designer.
your bojack studios experience is really, really easy
From start to finish, there are only six steps involved when you place an order with Bojack Studios. They go a little something like this:
1. Find the collection you want and make a deposit by clicking “Make It Yours!” at the bottom of the page.
2. Start customizing! Once you’ve placed your deposit, you’ll receive the wedding stationery customization form so you can start planning out everything: how many you want, what you want them to look like, and what upgrades you have in mind.
3. Now you’re proofing. Your first round of proofs will be mailed to you within three business days of receipt of your signed quote. If you love it, you can skip ahead to step five. If not…
4. When you are thrilled with your proofs (and you will be), it’s time to give a final approval and make your final payment.
5. Your invites are shipped!
6. Get your invites in the mail and begin weeping with joy because they’re so incredible.
And of course, Bojack Studios doesn’t stop with invitations. Check out some of Aaron’s other work in the wild:
