First, a design fee is paid to add you to our design and production schedule and start the design process. When that fee is paid you will have access to our resource page which has a design questionnaire for you to complete. Once we receive the completed questionnaire we start to put together the colors, materials and general design concepts all the while keeping in mind the date of your event. This part of the process is very much a back and forth conversation until we have a direction upon which to focus for the final design.
We then design your invitation package in steps…first the invitation panel, and then the inserts and then ancillary material for your invitation. Before giving your final approval you’ll see, through digital proofs and photographs, what the final design will look like.
Once you’re sure we’ve designed the perfect set for you, 50% of the invitation cost is due and we send the pieces to the printer. We then assemble them, arrange for addressing (hand or digital calligraphy) and get them ready to send out. When they’re ready to send, either to you or to your guests, the final 50% of the cost is due.
Please note, the design fee is not a downpayment toward your invitation costs. It is a separate, non refundable fee that holds your spot in our schedule and provides us with the foundation to work on your invitation suite.
To start the process, please contact us through the form on our Contact page or call us at 585.244.1510. We can’t wait to start working with you!
