Welcome to Gilded Swan Paperie... Your #1 source for vintage-inspired wedding stationery... colorful, dramatic, and unique! I print my wedding invitations and stationery on a Heidelberg printing press, the way they would have been printed oh, so long ago!
I have a wide array of papers to suit most any budget from standard matte papers to shimmery pearlescent and ultra-thick museum board. I can also print metallic gold, rose gold, and silver foil!
Printing times once you approve your design will take 3-5 weeks. If your wedding is within four months, I may not be able to accommodate so please double-check with me before ordering.

5 out of 5 starsJulie is fantastic! We initially ordered a few samples and were blown away by the quantity and quality of invites, save the dates, detail cards, etc that she sent. So happy to say that the process for ordering our physical save the dates was equally impressive — she turned around proofs incredibly quickly and incorporated our notes effectively. Our save the dates just arrived and they’re perfect. They set the tone for our wedding, and I can’t wait to send them out. Will be returning in a few months for our invite suite!

5 out of 5 starsShe really gives you a lot options to look at. I found them very hard to choose just one. Absolutely worth the money to grab these samples before buying a set.

5 out of 5 starsJulie did an AMAZING job on these invitations! The design and final product are stunning. Some of our guests have already received them and have been RAVING about them! Julie’s customer service is top-notch as well. There was a (slight) delay with the gold leafing on the invitations and Julie kept us in the loop every step of the way. She even sent out the envelopes, detail cards, and RSVP cards ahead of time so we could start addressing envelopes. This helped tremendously! She also offered multiple solutions when she thought there was a problem with the printer. However, she worked to solve the problem and everything when on without a hitch! We will definitely be using Julie’s services for our thank you cards. Thank you for helping make the months leading up to our day extra beautiful and extra special!

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!
