Hi, I'm Sterling!

A Sterling Soirée started with a love of hosting and gathering, and a firm belief that the smallest details are usually what create that unexplainable feeling that you’re at a really great event. You may not be able to pinpoint exactly what makes it feel so good, but you notice it. The cocktail napkin, the cup in your hand, the paper details, the little things someone thought about ahead of time. Together, they make the whole thing PERSONAL.

What began as a creative outlet quickly turned into a business built around custom and semi-custom event goods, stationery, and thoughtfully designed pieces for gathering well. From cups and cocktail napkins to invitations, correspondence and all the little things in between, I love creating pieces that feel personal, polished and a little unexpected.

My style is a mix of traditional and playful. A little old Southern charm, a little modern western, a little preppy, and never too serious. I believe the best parties feel beautiful without feeling precious, and that you absolutely do not need a ballroom or a black-tie dress code to make an ordinary Tuesday worth celebrating.

When I’m not designing, I’m usually chasing my toddler boss, planning our next trip, or dreaming up the next great idea before I’ve finished the last one. There’s almost always something new brewing around here.

Whether you’re planning a wedding weekend, throwing a birthday dinner, sending a really good thank-you note, or just want your cocktail cup to be cuter than everyone else’s — I’m so glad you’re here.

Because around here, there’s always a reason to make it a soirée.

Xx,

Sterling

Frequently Asked Questions

Because custom and semi-custom pieces are made specifically for you, they are final sale once production has begun.

If you notice an issue with your order when it arrives, please contact us as soon as possible. We want you to love what you ordered and will always work with you to address any printing or production issues.

Orders are shipped once production is complete. Shipping costs are calculated at checkout or included on your custom invoice, depending on how your order is placed.

Because many of our pieces are produced specifically for you, production time and shipping time are separate. If you have a firm event date, please let us know before ordering so we can help make sure your timeline works.

It depends on the product! Available colors, materials, quantities and other selections are shown directly on each product page.

Semi-custom products are limited to the options listed for that design. Fully custom orders offer more flexibility, and we’ll walk you through the available choices during the design process.

Minimums vary by product and printing method. Semi-custom cups are available beginning at 25 cups, while other products may have different minimum quantities.

The available quantities shown on each product page are the minimums for that particular item. For fully custom orders, we’ll confirm available quantities when preparing your quote.

Semi-custom is designed to keep customization simple (and pricing a little friendlier!). Each design includes the personalization options listed on the product page, but the artwork, fonts and overall layout cannot be changed.

Want to change the design itself? That’s a fully custom order, and we’d love to create something just for you.

Semi-custom designs are already thoughtfully created — you simply make them yours. Personalization options vary by product and may include a name, monogram, wording or color selection. The artwork, fonts and overall layout remain as shown.

Fully custom orders are created specifically for you and can include original artwork, custom layouts, color palettes and more. If you have a specific vision in mind, fully custom is the way to go.

The earlier, the better! Production times vary by product and printing method, and some items require more time than others. Current turnaround times will always be noted on the product page or provided with your custom quote.

If you’re ordering for a specific event date, please include it when ordering or submitting your inquiry so we can make sure the timeline works before production begins.

Fully custom orders: Yes. You’ll receive a digital proof for approval before production begins. Fully custom design includes up to two rounds of edits.

Semi-custom orders: No proof is provided. Semi-custom designs are sold exactly as shown, with your selected personalization added using the predetermined font, artwork and layout. Please double-check all names, initials and wording before submitting your order, as your personalization will be printed exactly as entered.
