Faire-Part À Part

2 of Faire-Part À Part's client reviews, one dated 2025 and one 2026, describe the same experience without any sign the writers compared notes. Joëlle and Romain Clerc say their whole wedding stationery passed through founder Martha Camuti's hands: "du faire-part, en passant par le plan de tables, les menus et, ensuite, les remerciements" (the invitation, then the table plan, the menus and finally the thank-you cards). Amandine Fabre-Dalsace's review lists almost the same range: invitations, menus, table plan, even the photo groupings used to work out the seating. That matches what the studio's own navigation promises, invitations, save the dates, table stationery, ceremony booklets, gifts and thank-you cards, but a navigation menu just lists what a studio is willing to sell. 2 paying clients independently confirming they bought the whole set is the stronger evidence.

Camuti opened the atelier in Mont-sur-Lausanne in 2003. The site states more than 20 years of experience and more than 2,000 couples served since then, and it repeats those figures across several pages rather than burying them in one marketing line.

What that experience produces sits toward the higher-craft end of the category. Faire-Part À Part cuts and scores every piece by hand in its own workshop, "de la coupe au rainage, chaque geste requiert une délicatesse absolue" (from the cutting to the scoring, every gesture demands absolute delicacy), and it names 5 printing and finishing techniques rather than running everything through one process: high-end digital printing as the base, plain or sculpted embossing, hot foil stamping, letterpress (what the site calls "typographie artisanale"), and a range of custom die-cutting. Which technique lands on a given order depends on the paper and the effect a couple wants, not a single house method. The paper side has its own menu: semi-artisanal stock with hand-torn, deckled edges, a pearled satin finish, raw natural-fibre paper, and a plantable seed paper the site describes as a pioneer of the material in Switzerland, its own claim, stated as such here rather than independently verified. Camuti sources her papers herself from France and Austria rather than buying off a domestic wholesaler's shelf.

Envelopes come with the commission rather than as a separate line. They can be lined, embossed with a monogram, or closed with a wax seal to match the invitation, and the studio will print guest addresses and a return address on request, both offered as extras with no figure attached to either.

A minimum of 15, a budget the site actually states

A bespoke commission has a floor: the site requires a minimum of 15 invitations for any sur-mesure order, which rules the studio out for a very small elopement guest list but sits comfortably inside range for most weddings. On price, the studio is more forthcoming than most of this category, where a couple usually gets nothing until they've sent an email. Faire-Part À Part publishes an average client spend of CHF 1,500 to 4,500 for the invitation plus the day-of stationery that goes with it, and its own quote-request form breaks spending into 4 bands, from under CHF 1,500 up to CHF 10,000, so a couple can flag roughly where they sit before the first call ever happens.

A 48-hour call, a 5-day quote, one sample before the button gets pushed

The studio lays out its own process in 3 named steps. After a couple submits the enquiry form, Camuti calls within 48 hours to talk through the brief. A written proposal follows within 5 working days of that call, and once the quote is signed, the first working session happens either over video call or in person at the atelier. From there the studio adjusts graphics, paper, colour and wording with the couple, and the process ends with a physical sample of the finished invitation and stationery sent for approval before the final print run starts. What the site doesn't say is what that sample or a further revision costs, or how many rounds are included in the price. A couple should ask directly rather than assume either way.

Lead time follows a similar shape: stated twice, in 2 different levels of detail. The site's own shorthand promises "6 semaines" (6 weeks), but its FAQ gives the fuller answer, 6 to 8 weeks from first contact through printing and delivery, and names what stretches it: embossing, letterpress, hand assembly and a wax seal all add time. The same FAQ tells its own clients when to start: send wedding invitations 6 to 8 months before the day, save-the-dates 10 to 12 months out, and begin earlier still if the guest list involves international travel or a full wedding weekend. For a couple coordinating flights and hotel blocks for guests flying in from abroad, that timing advice does more work than a flat lead-time number on its own, since it ties the studio's production schedule directly to the kind of planning a destination wedding already needs.

Signage in plexiglass and PVC, not just printed card

Past the invitation, the catalogue covers the ceremony and the reception in pieces most competitors leave out entirely. A "Cérémonie" section carries a wedding-vows booklet and a mass booklet. Table stationery covers menus, place cards and table plans, plus welcome signage sold as 3 distinct physical products: a floral panel, one in plexiglass, and one in PVC Forex board, meaning at least 2 of the 3 are rigid fabricated signs rather than printed paper propped on an easel. Guest and witness gifts, a guestbook-and-message-box line, a wedding journal, and a typewriter rental for guests to leave written notes on round out the day-of range, before the studio circles back with a photo thank-you card once the wedding is over. The bespoke invitation gallery itself lists 28 named starting designs, among them "Voile de Papier," "Lac des Cygnes" and "Dentelle gaufrée," none individually priced. They read as a reference point for the first conversation, not a catalogue to order straight from.

Stripe, Twint or a wire, but the conversation itself is in French

Nothing on the site states whether a consultation, a contract or the day-of handoff can run in English. Every page carries the same language tag, French, with no toggle and no alternate version anywhere in the markup. That's not a claim the site makes and then breaks; it simply never addresses it, so a foreign couple should ask directly on the first call rather than assume either way. Contact itself is straightforward: a phone line answered weekdays from 9 to 17h, an email address the studio says gets a reply within 48 hours, and an atelier open to visitors by appointment only. Payment runs through Stripe, Twint or a bank transfer, all workable from outside Switzerland, and the general terms state that shop prices are in Swiss francs net of tax, while a bespoke quote is priced as an indicative figure before tax is added.

For a couple weighing a stationer against the usual pile of one-page portfolio sites, the useful signal isn't the tenure by itself. It's what 2 paying clients say that tenure actually produced: a studio that took on the whole stationery job, invitations through thank-you cards, and did it well enough that both wrote about the range unprompted. The 2 real gaps, a proof-round cost the site won't name and a working language it won't confirm, are exactly the 2 questions worth putting to Camuti on that first 48-hour call, before anything gets signed.
