From Start to Suite

All the secrets, tricks, and tips I've learned over the years that will save you time, money, energy and especially heartache while you start a wedding invitation business

Your business can feel fun, easy, and profitable, all at the same time.
I'll show you how.

From Start to Suite was the best investment I could have made for my business. It's worth every single penny and five times more. I have purchased a lot of courses over the past several years and I've mostly been disappointed at the end of them. Not so with From Start to Suite - I was blown away by the amount of content and value that is included. It became obvious to me very quickly that if I was going it alone it would have taken me years to learn what was provided in this course.

Is there a payment plan? +

Yes! You can split your payments into monthly payments using a Payment Plan link on the checkout page.

When does the content release? +

The full course will be available to you immediately!! I'd recommend taking it in order though, take your time to get everything set up correctly now!! You can always rewatch lessons and jump around later as you refine what is working well for you.

What if I'm not in the US? +

There will be sections of content that apply solely to the US (setting up a business, postage, most vendors, etc.). I believe there will still be significant value for designers outside of the US, but please contact me if you have any specific questions!

How long will I have access to the content? +

You'll have lifetime access to your course content as long as the course is active.

Is this course only for beginners? +

Honestly, this course is aimed at beginners. If you are an intermediate/advanced designer, feel free to contact me if you have questions. I have resources available for all levels, but this course is designed for beginners.

From Start to Suite vs Stationery School?? +

From Start to Suite is a foundational course that will take you through modules in a cohesive manner that builds on itself as it goes. You’ll start with business topics and move through design and production from beginning to end. It’s designed with true beginners in mind. I like to think of Stationery School as “continuing education” for stationers. It includes shorter standalone lessons on lots of topics, and you can “choose your own adventure”. Most lessons assume a certain level of knowledge about the industry. In my (totally unbiased) opinion, From Start to Suite is perfect for true beginners, and then Stationery School is a good way to keep learning after you’ve taken From Start to Suite! Or a good place to dive in if you’re already familiar with the workings of a stationery business. I’m always happy to answer questions about the options and help guide you to what is best for your situation!
