How we do it?

If you’re getting married in Central Pennsylvania, welcome. You’re in the right place—and not just geographically. Whether you're planning a celebration in Lancaster, Harrisburg, Philadelphia, or somewhere tucked into the rolling farmland of Amish country, your wedding deserves invitations that feel as thoughtful and layered as the day you’re planning.‍ At Cork and Chambers, we specialize in creating custom wedding invitations in Pennsylvania that reflect your love story, your style, and your setting. But let’s be real: if you’ve never done this before (and most people haven’t), the whole "invitation suite" thing can feel like a mystery.So let’s pull back the curtain on our process—because it's one of the most meaningful parts of what we do.

1. It All Starts with a Conversation


Every suite we design begins with an open, creative conversation. We want to hear it all—your venue, your color palette, what kind of textures you're drawn to, and how you want your wedding to feel. Whether you're dreaming of rustic wedding in Pennsylvania or something sleek and modern in the city, we tailor every detail to you. This is where we really lean into the artistry: layering textures, gathering swatches, and getting a sense of what makes your day yours.


2. Sketching & Vision Mapping


Once we’ve unpacked your aesthetic, we begin sketching out your elegant wedding invitations for your celebration. Maybe you’re envisioning watercolor florals that echo the fields around your Lancaster PA venue. Perhaps you want something minimal and typographic for your Harrisburg city wedding. Every sketch is grounded in your story. We incorporate a color palette and full layout of what a “flat lay” would look like.


3. Painting, Lettering, & Layout


This is where the magic happens. Virginia hand paints elements from venues and pets to florals and backgrounds. Emily’s calligraphy adds a personal touch that no other suite’s lettering will have. We couple this with intentional type face to round out the feeling you are trying to achieve. Everything is designed with purpose. Nothing is cookie-cutter. Every suite is entirely bespoke, our goal is to create handmade wedding invitations in PA that feel like art.


4. Proofing & Perfecting


After our designs come to life, we move into proofing. This is the stage where we tweak wording, adjust spacing, and make sure every line, letter, and brushstroke is perfect. As your invitation designer, we believe the little things are the big things. This is why you will always have 2 rounds of proofs and edits before your final proof.


5. Delivery (and the Happy Tears)


When your final suite arrives, it’s more than paper—it’s a moment. You’ll hold it in your hands and realize: this is really happening. Whether you found us while searching for wedding paper goods in Harrisburg PA, Lancaster PA wedding stationery, or just knew you wanted something personal and elevated, our process is designed to guide you every step of the way. We encourage you to share these invitations with other vendors like your cake artist or your wedding planner. It helps them to see they overall feeling and mood of the day. Your invitations are the first touch point for your guests to se the tone.


And a Note From the Heart…


We LOVE designing for all weddings, all couples, and all locations. While most of our couples do get married in the Central PA region, our hearts are wide open. Destination weddings? Full weekend events? European villas or mountainside elopements? Yes, yes, and yes. We have big dreams—and we’ll keep dreaming big until you help make them a reality.


So whether you're planning a backyard gathering, a tented soirée, or something across the ocean, we’re here to create paper goods that feel like home, wherever you are.
