I believe that every wedding invitation deserves to be uniquely you. My zone of genius in the wedding stationery business, is helping couples customize wedding invitations so they are uniquely theirs. My unique process allows me to connect with couples all over the world without needing to set up yet another meeting. A few emails or a quick zoom call can usually accomplish just what we need.

When I got married, I remember looking through book after book for traditional, classic, yet fun and unique invitation designs thinking 'well, that one is OK .... that one is fine, I guess'. I got frustrated and in turn ended up DIY-ing my invitations, which is good for me, but whew. It did NOT go well. Starting from a blank slate? That also wasn't fun, it was SO overwhelming trying out fonts and making sure my papers were the right size, and don't even get me started on the bad combo of an ink jet printer with shimmery paper.

We can change out a font that you don't love, or change a paper color or add in a fun detail like a belly band. We can take that traditional all ivory suite and make it a bit more whimsical, but still classic in shades of sage green or burgundy because while love as is, YOU like a little pop of color.

Then, after we have those details done, we'll carry them throughout your wedding day so you have a cohesive, branded day. Even if you don't see a product in the shop, ask me about it!

About LamaWorks

Sales 8,668
On Etsy since 2008
Video summary: Welcome to Invited by LamaWorks where every wedding invitation deserves to be custom. I specialize in traditional, classic wedding invitations with a bit of whimsy.

Our Story

Shop members

  • Laura Mays

    Owner, Maker, Designer, Director Of Wedding Services

    I am the owner of Invited by LamaWorks. I believe that all stationery should be uniquely you and it is my mission to bring joy to those around me. I work based out of a studio in Quincy, IL. Every piece is designed, printed and assembled by me!

Production partners

  • Artisaire

    BC, Canada

    For over 30 years they've been making beautiful wax seal products, and we work to provide professional quality products to the creatives designing moments. Designs are all made by Invited by LamaWorks, produced by Artisaire with their professional tools.

  • Envelopments, Inc

    Santa Ana, CA

    We realize that the printers that we own are limited and can't always handle the volume, colors and paper textures that a larger printer can. To keep our printing quality to the highest standards, some orders are printed outside of our studio.

  • Mingo Press

    Omaha, NE

    Mingo Press is a printer that has been servicing the needs of picky graphic designers that like to have things just right. They work with me on everything from digital printing to letterpress, foil and offset. Anything I need, any color I need, they've got me covered.

  • Printswell

    Pelham, AL

    While I print most of my products in house, I do occasionally use outside printers when I know mine can't do certain graphics justice or when I need paper that my printer can't print on.

Information I Collect

To fulfill your order, you must provide me with certain information (which you authorized Etsy to provide to me), such as your name, email address, postal address, payment information, and the details of the product that you’re ordering. You will also choose to provide me with additional personal information for customizing your designs by you contact me directly.

Why I Need Your Information and How I Use It

I rely on a number of legal bases to collect, use, and share your information, including:
- as needed to provide my services, such as when I use your information to fulfill your order, to settle disputes, or to provide customer support;
- when you have provided your affirmative consent, which you may revoke at any time, such as by signing up for my mailing list;
- if necessary to comply with a legal obligation or court order or in connection with a legal claim, such as retaining information about your purchases if required by tax law; and
as necessary for the purpose of my legitimate interests, if those legitimate interests are not overridden by your rights or interests, such as 1) providing and improving my services. I use your information to provide the services you requested and in my legitimate interest toimprove my services; and 2) Compliance with the Etsy Seller Policy and Terms of Use. I use your information as necessary to comply with my obligations under the Etsy Seller Policy and Terms of Use.

Information Sharing and Disclosure

Information about my customers is important to my business. I share your personal information for very limited reasons and in limited circumstances, as follows:

Etsy. I share information with Etsy as necessary to provide you my services and comply with my obligations under both the Etsy Seller Policy and Etsy Terms of Use.

Service providers. I engage certain trusted third parties to perform functions and provide services to my shop, such as delivery companies. I will share your personal information with these third parties, but only to the extent necessary to perform these services.

Business transfers. If I sell or merge my business, I may disclose your information as part of that transaction, only to the extent permitted by law.

Compliance with laws. I may collect, use, retain, and share your information if I have a good faith belief that it is reasonably necessary to: (a) respond to legal process or to government requests; (b) enforce my agreements, terms and policies; (c) prevent, investigate, and address fraud and other illegal activity, security, or technical issues; or (d) protect the rights, property, and safety of my customers, or others.

I retain your personal information only for as long as necessary to provide you with my services and as described in my Privacy Policy. However, I may also be required to retain this information to comply with my legal and regulatory obligations, to resolve disputes, and to enforce my agreements. I generally keep your data for the following time period: 4 years.

Transfers of Personal Information Outside the EU

I may store and process your information through third-party hosting services in the US and other jurisdictions. As a result, I may transfer your personal information to a jurisdiction with different data protection and government surveillance laws than your jurisdiction. If I am deemed to transfer information about you outside of the EU, I rely on Privacy Shield as the legal basis for the transfer, as Google Cloud is Privacy Shield certified.

If you reside in certain territories, including the EU, you have a number of rights in relation to your personal information. While some of these rights apply generally, certain rights apply only in certain limited cases. I describe these rights below:

Access. You may have the right to access and receive a copy of the personal information I hold about you by contacting me using the contact information below.

Object. You can object to (i) my processing of some of your information based on my legitimate interests and (ii) receiving marketing messages from me after providing your express consent to receive them. In such cases, I will delete your personal information unless I have compelling and legitimate grounds to continue using that information or if it is needed for legal reasons.

Complain. If you reside in the EU and wish to raise a concern about my use of your information (and without prejudice to any other rights you may have), you have the right to do so with your local data protection authority.

Frequently asked questions

How long do orders take?

SAMPLE INVITATIONS - most ship in 1-2 days, if I expect a delay I'll let you know!

SAVE THE DATES - about 2 weeks

INVITATIONS - about 3-6 weeks

WEDDING DAY PRODUCTS - about 3-5 days unless you are using custom paper colors

EVERY DAY CELEBRATION INVITATIONS - about 1 week

STATIONERY SETS - 10-14 days

Rush orders are available for an additional fee!

Rush orders can get out in as little as 1-2 weeks.

Placing a rush order means that your order is at the top of my priority list for both design and printing. Your emails are the first I answer during the day.

Excessive changes to the design, incomplete information or delays in replying to messages on your end will delay the process. The faster we get through proofs, the faster your invita

What if I need to cancel my wedding stationery order

I totally get it - things happen! If you need to cancel your order, you will be issued a partial refund that I evaluate on a case by case basis.

First, I calculate the number of hours I have spent on the design work multiplied by an hourly design rate of $150 per hour. Your refund will be a full refund, minus this amount, minus any costs already incurred by ordering product.

In general , If we have not ordered paper, you will be issued a 50-75% refund. If we have ordered some items, it maybe 25-50%.

If we have already ordered your prints, you are no longer eligible for a refund.

Do you sell templates?

Not in this shop, but visit my sister store - Invited by Laura Mays to shop my template collection!
https://www.etsy.com/shop/InvitedbyLauraMays?ref=seller-platform-mcnav

*I cannot convert designs into digital templates

Can I make changes to the wording?

Absolutely! You can use whatever wording fits your wedding day best. It may change the layout a bit, but I'lll take care of that! Any changes you nee dwill turn into a beautiful design.

What type of printing do you use?

Most wedding invitations and stationery sets I print in house using digital printing or digital white ink.

I do also have an outside printer that I can use for:
- digital metallic gold
- digital metallic silver
- letterpress
- embossing
- debossing
- foil

Will I see my design before you print it?

Yes! I will send you as many proofs via PDF that we need until you are happy with your design.

I'm a stationer that sends out proofs of everything (even personal stationery!) You will receive PDF proofs that are formatted ono 8.5x11" paper so you can do a quick test print at home to make sure you love the font sizes.

Once we are done with digital proofs, you also have the option to receive a complimentary printed proof if time permits. Printed proofs are only available for wedding invitations.

Can I see a sample wedding invitation? I really want to make sure I love the paper quality and colors before I order!

Absolutely! I want you to know what you're getting and put your total faith in me.

You can order a sample invitation right from the listing. Just select the 'sample' from the ordering drop down menu. All samples are pre printed so I can get them out to you in a jiffy, so I can't customize them, but I'm happy to include additional paper swatches so you can play around with them and find the best colors for your wedding.

Can I see a proof before I order?

No, I do not begin working on proofs before you place an order.

Have no fears though! I'm a stationer that sends out proofs of everything (even personal stationery!) You will receive PDF proofs that are formatted ono 8.5x11" paper so you can do a quick test print at home to make sure you love the font sizes.

Can you design ALL of my wedding day paper?

You bet I can! I can get you:
- save the dates
- invitations
- menus
- programs
- table numbers
- place cards
- seating charts
- thank you cards
- favor tags
- napkins
- stir sticks
- shower invitations
- personal stationery
- cups
- coozies
- favor bags
- pretty much anything that needs graphic design!

What if there is a typo?

Invited by LamaWorks is not liable for typos. To avoid typos, I typically copy and paste your wording directly from what you send me - that way I don't have to worry about spelling Connecticut correctly every time!

Please proof read carefully and make sure everything is correct before submitting your approval to print.

You will receive your proos on in 8.5x11" files so I recommend proofing on your phone, on your computer, printing them out AND sending it to at least 2 other people to look through.
