Lili V. The Company & Assoc, Inc.

Lili V. The Company & Assoc, Inc. is a Tampa, Florida studio that makes high-end custom handmade invitations and stationery for weddings and other occasions. It describes each invitation as an introduction to your event and a piece of history.

Why they suit LGBTQ+ couples

The business is LGBTQ+-owned. Because each piece is designed one on one with the client and nothing starts from a template, there is no assumed bride-and-groom wording to work around.

What they make

• Custom handmade wedding invitations
• Stationery for all occasions
• Designs that combine natural and extraordinary materials
• One-of-a-kind pieces created with you

Planning custom stationery

Handmade invitations take longer than printed ones. Begin your conversation around six months before the wedding, and earlier if your guest list is large or your design is complex. Decide on your wording, names, order of names and hosting line before you commit, since changes after production are costly.

What to bring

Bring your date, venue, color palette and guest count, plus a sample of any fabric, flower or detail you want echoed on the paper. Think about the full suite: save the dates, invitations, response cards, programs and menus. Ask what the studio can match so your stationery looks consistent across the day.

Where they work

The studio is in Tampa, Florida, where the owner started the company in a small space and later opened a dedicated studio. Ask about shipping and delivery if you are marrying elsewhere.
