Consultation & Estimate

Time frame:  Approximately 1 week

We begin with a personal consultation – in-person, by phone or FaceTime, based on your location. Let’s chat about what inspires you. Your vision. Tell me a little bit about your wedding day. Share some details with me. Let’s see your Pinterest board, share fabric swatches, and what really moves you. Even if you aren’t exactly sure yet, we can start from scratch and work hand-in-hand to stimulate the creative process. Each detail will be carefully and creatively crafted into your invitation design. From there, we’ll refine your invitations infusing them with the right final touches to make them perfect! All consultations are by appointment only.

Following the consultation, I will email an estimate (usually within 1 week), for you to review and approve. Along with the approved estimate, a $150.00 (non-refundable), one-time deposit is required to begin the creative design process. This includes any day of stationery, so all looks cohesive throughout each piece.


Creative Design

Time frame: Approximately 2 - 3 weeks

Now this is where the fun begins! I will use your inspirations, ideas, personal style and wedding details to create a fully custom invitation proof. Timing varies based on complexity of design.

A PDF file (PROOF) will be emailed to you for approval, along with a formal contract that outlines total costs, timetables and approx. delivery dates, for review.

Your invitation ensemble will include (1) Invitation assembled, (1) Reply card, (1) Reply envelope w/ printed return address, (1) Reception, or Details card, (1) Accommodation card, (1) Outer envelope w/ printed return address.

Any modifications or revisions to your sample should be specified in writing via email. A revised (PDF) proof will be emailed to you for final review. (1) round of major revisions is included within the contract price; after that, any revisions that result in design changes will incur an additional $25 per piece cost.

During the revision process, we ask that you review this final proof carefully for spelling, grammar, dates, times, address, etc., make any final required corrections and “APPROVE” the proof. We find it helpful to have several sets of eyes review the proof before approving. Upon approval of the final proof, we require the signed contract and a 50% non-refundable deposit. Now production begins!

Once it is approved and printed, we are held harmless for any errors that were not identified at this stage. If there is a mistake on our part we will correct as soon as possible or come up with a solution that works for everyone.


Production

Time frame: Approximately 4 - 5 weeks

On average, production of the total invitation ensemble takes 4 to 5 weeks. Timing varies based on scope of the design, required materials and printing methods selected. Once complete, we ship your order to you via UPS.
