The stationery problem
You bought the dress. You're still on Etsy at midnight.
Save-the-dates went out three months ago in one font. Now the invites need to match. The RSVPs should match the invites. The menu cards should match the RSVPs. The welcome bag tags. The seating chart. The hashtag sign. The thank-you cards in six months.
You looked at Minted. Everything starts looking the same. You looked at Etsy and bought a template, then realized 200 other couples bought the same one this weekend. A real stationery designer quoted $3-5k. The wedding planner suggested 'just use Canva.' You're at midnight on a Tuesday, six weeks out, with twelve tabs open.
Pick one artist. Their voice carries from the save-the-date through the thank-you card. One direction, every piece of paper at your wedding.
Why it fits weddings
Built for the suite, not the one-off.
Every piece, one voice
Save-the-date, invite, RSVP, menu, place card, signage, welcome tag, thank-you. All in the same artist's voice — which is what guests actually notice when they pin the invite to the fridge.
Made for your timeline
Save-the-dates 6 months out. Invites 8 weeks out. Day-of signage two weeks out. Same artist, same direction, paced to the wedding calendar — not theirs.
Doesn't look like a template
Etsy templates are recognizable. So are Minted layouts. The artist-driven look reads as commissioned, even when it's a fraction of the cost.
Easy to ask for changes
The font's a little off. The flowers should be peonies, not roses. Re-brief the same artist — the suite stays coherent through every revision.
How it goes
Save-the-dates this week. Day-of in the same voice.
Tell us about the day
Open @slop. The venue, the date, three weddings on Pinterest whose look you envy, the rough vibe (garden, modern, mountain, beach). A paragraph works.
Pitches come back
Within a day, 4–8 artists pitch their take on your day. Pick the voice that feels right — that's the artist holding the suite.
Save-the-dates ship first
The first paper goes out — save-the-dates in the chosen artist's voice, ready to print or send digital.
Suite fills in on schedule
Invites at 8 weeks. RSVPs and menus at 6. Day-of signage at 2. Same artist, same voice, on your timeline.
Thank-yous in six months
After the wedding, the same artist closes the suite — thank-you cards in the voice that started a year ago. Symmetry guests notice.
Suite shapes
From save-the-date to the thank-you cards.
Some couples need the full suite from day one. Some are mid-planning and just need the next piece. The brief flexes to wherever you are.
One artist, one card
A single save-the-date in the artist's voice — front and back, your photo or fully illustrated. Quick turnaround, lock the visual direction for the rest.
One voice, every piece
Save-the-date, invite, RSVP, menu, place cards, table numbers, welcome tag, thank-you. All from the same artist, ready to print together.
Signage & paper goods
Welcome sign, seating chart, bar menu, ceremony program, hashtag card. Same direction as the invites, sized for prints from 4x6 to 24x36.
Add a piece mid-planning
Invites already went out. Now you need menus and a seating chart that match. We pull the same artist, brief the additions, ship them in days.
Ceremony + reception split
Garden ceremony, ballroom reception. Two style takes from the same artist — one suite that bridges both.
The math for couples
What a stationer charges. What you actually need.
| Approach | Typical cost | Time per piece | Coherence across the suite |
|---|---|---|---|
| Custom stationer (boutique) | $3k–$8k for the suite | 6–12 weeks | Excellent — but expensive and slow |
| Minted / Zola templates | $300–$1500 for the suite | Hours of selection | Same templates as 200 other couples |
| Etsy template + tweaks | $50–$300 per piece | Hours of customization, days of edits | Inconsistent — different sellers, different fonts |
| OKSLOP brief + retainer | Subscription — see plans | Days for first pitches, weeks for full suite | Locked to one artist, every piece coherent |
Costs are rough market ranges, not quotes. A subscription covers briefs, generation, upscales, and the retained artist from one credit pool. See plans.
What ships from one direction
Every piece of paper. Same voice.
Save-the-dates
The first paper guests see. Sets the look for everything that follows. Front, back, optional photo or fully illustrated.
Invitations & RSVPs
Main invitation, RSVP card, details insert, return envelope art. The full mail-suite, ready to print on heavy stock.
Menus, place cards, table numbers
The reception paper goods. Menus, place cards (printed or calligraphed), table numbers, seating chart cards.
Day-of signage
Welcome sign, ceremony program, bar menu, photo wall, hashtag card. Sized for prints from 5x7 up to 24x36 foam-core.
Welcome bags & favors
Hotel welcome tag, itinerary card, favor stickers, thank-you-for-coming notes. All in the same hand.
Thank-you cards
Six months later, the suite closes. Thank-you cards in the same voice as the save-the-date that started it all.
