Paper & Poste is a Toronto graphic design studio focused on custom wedding invitations and coordinated event stationery. For couples comparing Toronto custom wedding invitations, the company offers tailored design rather than fixed packages, with letterpress, foil, embossing and digital printing among its documented options.

The Leslieville studio operates by appointment and offers complimentary consultations in person, by Zoom or by phone. Its official website publishes starting prices, a typical invitation-order range and an outline of its design and production process. Last reviewed: August 4, 2026.

Services and specialization

Paper & Poste creates wedding stationery from a couple’s ideas or by adapting one of the studio’s previous designs. A dedicated graphic designer discusses the event aesthetic, colours, paper choices, printing methods and suite components, then develops digital mock-ups for feedback. The official process page says designs are custom-crafted unless a client requests an existing design.

Documented products include save-the-dates, invitation suites and day-of stationery such as menus, seating charts, programs and table numbers. Production options include in-house CMYK digital printing and vivid white, gold or silver digital printing. Specialist partners handle letterpress, foil and embossing. Mailing and assembly can be added to an estimate, while printing-only requests are assessed individually.

Service area and who it may suit

Paper & Poste is based in Toronto and says it has served couples locally and globally. Consultations are available at the Leslieville studio, by Zoom or by phone. Couples outside Toronto should confirm sample delivery, proofing, shipping or collection arrangements before booking.

The service may suit couples seeking a made-to-order suite, a designer-led process and coordinated wedding-day paper details. Published prices and order minimums indicate a custom service rather than an instant template-ordering platform. Clients with finished artwork can enquire about printing, but acceptance depends on their files, requirements and the production schedule.

Design and production process

The process begins with a complimentary consultation. The assigned designer then prepares a detailed, adjustable estimate and project timeline. A signed contract and 50% retainer place the project on the client calendar. Digital mock-ups are used to refine the concept, printing method and paper choices.

After final design approval, the remaining balance is due and production begins. Assembly and mailing follow printing when selected. Paper & Poste says invitation orders typically take six to ten weeks from retainer payment to printed completion and recommends scheduling a consultation eight to twelve months before the wedding. Couples should confirm a project-specific schedule.

Confirmed strengths and practical limitations

Documented strengths include guidance from a dedicated designer, custom design, several printing methods, digital mock-ups and a written estimate with a timeline. At an in-person appointment, clients can examine invitation samples, paper textures, weights, finishes and ink colours before choosing materials.

Practical limitations include appointment-only studio visits and the use of partners for specialist printing. Printing-only work is not guaranteed. Invitation orders have a minimum quantity of 25 and increase in groups of five. The published production window is guidance rather than confirmation of availability, while embellishments, postage and optional services can increase the final cost.

Pricing

Save-the-dates currently start at $950 before HST for 100. The published inclusion consists of a consultation, custom printed save-the-date and outer envelope with guest and return addressing. Invitations start at $2,500 before HST for 100 and include a consultation, custom printed invitation, addressed outer envelope, and either a printed reply card with return-addressed envelope or a details card for online replies.

Paper & Poste reports that its average invitation client spends approximately $3,000 to $6,000 before HST. Save-the-date and invitation orders have a 25-piece minimum and are ordered in increments of five. Printing method affects the total; embellishments and postage are excluded. Day-of stationery is priced on request. A written estimate should identify quantities, components, materials, finishing, assembly, mailing and delivery.

Contact and booking

Paper & Poste operates by appointment at 1126 Dundas Street East, Toronto, Ontario M4M 1S1. Its official phone number is 416-703-0004, and the published email is info@paperandposte.ca. Website booking buttons lead to an external scheduler for complimentary appointments.

Before signing, couples should review the estimate, contract, payment stages and project calendar. The official process requires a 50% retainer to begin, with the remaining balance due after final design approval and before printing. Printing-only clients and couples working on a short timeline should email first.

What couples should confirm

Confirm availability for the wedding date and request an approval, printing and delivery schedule. The quote should identify the quantity and included pieces, paper stock, printing method, colours, envelopes, addressing, embellishments and revision expectations. Ask which work is completed in house and which production relies on specialist partners.

Confirm whether HST, shipping or collection, assembly, postage and mailing are included. For day-of stationery, ask when wording and quantities must be finalized and whether the invitation design will be reused. Clients outside Toronto should verify how samples, proofs and completed orders will be exchanged. Printing-only clients should confirm accepted file formats and production feasibility.
