Our Process
We suggest starting the invitation process with us a year in advance. Save-the-dates are typically sent 6-9 months before your wedding, and invitations should go out 8-12 weeks ahead. Beginning early minimizes stress and leaves more time for us to work our magic.
Wedding Invitation Process
Step 1 - Schedule a phone call.
We like to begin by scheduling a 15-20 minute phone consultation. That way we can get a sense of what you’re looking for, get you some preliminary pricing, and fill you in on our process.
Step 2 - Receive an Initial Proposal
After chatting with you on the phone, we send you a few estimates based on what we talked about you needing/wanting. If you’re ready to move forward, you then schedule an in person meeting with us to start the design process.
Step 3 - Have a Design Meeting
Design meetings generally last 90 minutes. During this time we discuss all of your options, go through samples, and start creating a design together. Stacey’s been doing this for 20 years and she will walk you through everything during the meeting.
Step 4 - Pay a Design Deposit and Secure your Date
After the meeting we send you an updated estimate to reflect all the choices that were decided upon during the meeting. If you decide we’re a good fit, we ask that you pay a design deposit so that we can get you booked into our production calendar.
Step 5 - Design Until Approval
After the design deposit is paid, we work together to refine all the details until they are ready for print. We don’t believe in limiting the amount of revisions you can have since we want to be 100% confident every last detail is perfect and you are 100% happy with your invitations.
Step 6 - Print & Delivery of Goods
Once you’ve singed off and your invitatons are off to print, we start the print process until everything is ready for pickup or delivery! During this time, a final invoice will be sent to you.
