CONSULTATION

To begin, a free consultation will be set up. I always prefer an in-person meeting, but a phone or email consultation can also be arranged. At this time, we will discuss your event and what is important to you. Feel free to bring any ideas, samples, sketches or anything that may help me to understand what you have in mind. We will talk about your style, theme, color choices, budget and so on. Like one of my designs as-is? You can choose any of my designs and just change the colors and wording to reflect your event.

ESTIMATE & DEPOSIT

After our initial consultation, I will provide you with a price quote based on the details we discussed. You can expect to receive this in usually about 2-4 days after the consultation. Once the estimate is agreed upon, it must be signed and returned with a deposit that is 50% of the total project. The deposit is non-refundable in the case of cancellation, but it will be deducted off your final balance. At this time, I also ask that you provide me with all the necessary information to begin the design process. I will provide a list to let you know what is needed.

DESIGN & PROOFS

CUSTOM DESIGNED

Once I receive your signed estimate, deposit and all necessary information I will begin the design process. Based on our initial discussion, I will provide you with 3 design concepts to choose from. You can expect to receive your PDF proofs via email in 1 -2 weeks once the deposit and all information has been provided. At this time you can provide feedback and make revisions. Fonts graphics and designs can be interchanged and mixed to create your ideal design. You will receive up to 5 rounds of complimentary revisions and proofs. If you need more than 5 rounds of revisions, a fee will be charged per proof.

PRE-DESIGNED

Once I receive your signed estimate, deposit and all the necessary information I will provide you with a proof of the design you have chosen. You will receive the proof in Adobe PDF format via email usually 1-2 weeks after I receive your deposit and information. This is your opportunity to make any revisions. You will receive up to 5 rounds of complimentary revisions and proofs. If you need more than 5 rounds of revisions, a fee will be charged per proof.

APPROVAL & SIGN-OFF

When all revisions are made a final proof will be emailed for your approval. It is your responsibility to proof read and check all information before you approve the proof. Once you are satisfied with your proof, you will need to email me a final approval or sign-off on the proof and mail it back to me. I will not start production or printing until I have received a final approval.

PRODUCTION

Once you have given your final approval the production process begins! No further changes will be allowed. My standard production schedule depends on the project but can be anywhere between 5 to 12 weeks. Due to the nature of handmade invitations, I request that orders be placed at least 12 weeks before your mail-out date. Orders placed under 4 weeks are considered rush orders. Rush charges are figured with consideration of the size of the project and my availability. A final invoice will be provided as the production work is finished. Upon completion we will schedule a pickup time or appropriate mailing methods.
