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 10-15 minute phone consultation. That way we can get a sense of what you’re looking for, give you a preliminary range of pricing, and fill you in on our process.

Step 2 - Schedule Your Design Meeting
If the range of pricing is within your budget, the next step is to schedule your in-person meeting with us to start the design process.

Step 3 - Have a Design Meeting
Design meetings generally last 90-120 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 22 years and she will walk you through everything during the meeting. We’ll also establish and agree upon a production and mailing timeline.

Step 4 - Pay a Deposit and Secure Your Date
After the meeting we send you an updated estimate to reflect all the choices that you decided upon during the meeting. If you would like to lock your date into our calendar, we ask that you pay an invitation deposit so that we can ensure we hold your spot on our production calendar. We only book 4-5 weddings per weekend.

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 want to be confident every last detail is perfect and you are 100% happy with your invitations prior to production.

Step 6 - Print & Production of Goods
Once you’ve approved your invitation design, we start the print process. We’re doing all the work in house and have full artistic and quality control.

Step 7 - Your Invitations are Ready
We pride ourselves on delivering your invitations on the promised date. When your invitations are ready, you pick them up or we ship them to you. All you have left to do is stuff, stamp, seal and mail them.
