Custom DESIGN
Would you like a new design created just for you? If you want me to design a completely new invitation suite for you, here is the process to make that happen.
Begin THE CONVERSATION
Let’s talk on the phone, by email, or in person. We’ll discuss your wedding date, your venue, and your wedding style, as well as any initial design ideas you have. Since the invitation suite will be designed just for you, please allow at least a month from initial conversation to final proof.
Get STARTED
Now it’s time for the fun part. We’ll start bouncing ideas back and forth for your custom design. I would love to hear about or see examples of concepts or elements you have found elsewhere that you would like me to incorporate into your design. We’ll discuss colors, wording, custom logos. With this information, we will create a custom quote reflecting your invitation preferences.
Time TO DESIGN
After our conversations and a non-refundable design fee, we will begin designing your invitations. Initial designs will be presented as a PDF proof of your invitation sent to you in an email within 1 to 3 weeks. The exact time will depend on the complexity of the project. The design fee includes three rounds of revisions free of charge with each additional proof after being $20.
F inal PROOF
When all revisions are made, I will email you a single JPG of each card- for photo printing or e-mailing and a hi-resolution PDF sheet in U.S Paper format (8.5" x 11") per side for each card with bleeds and trim marks. The files will be set up for a print online shop (Vistaprint / Costco / Staples / Kinkos / Office Max & Depot / FedEx printing / UPS printing) or at home. (I will put as many cards per sheet as will fit to save printing costs)
