    How much do your invitations cost?

    Pricing varies depending on details such as quantity, design, paper selection and embellishments that make up the invitation.

    Passport and Boarding Pass invitations range from $8 to $10 per set based on an order of 100 or more.

    Traditional styles start at $8.00 each for a double-layer panel invitation and RSVP postcard, based on an order of 100 or more.

    What kind of printing is used on your invitations?

    Standard pricing includes printing with flat ink on high-quality papers. Printed colors and designs are virtually limitless. Letterpress (ink indented into paper), Offset (flat ink, also allows for metallic ink and varnishes), Thermography (raised ink) or Screen-Printing can also be arranged. For definitions of various processes, see the Printing Processes Defined post.

    Can I get a sample of an invitation?

    Each invitation shown on the website has been custom-designed or personalized and made to order specifically for a previous client. So exact samples are not readily available.

    I use only high-quality, stationery-grade papers. Paper swatches can be mailed on request so you can choose them in person.

    When your invitation is designed, you will see digital proofs via email which you can either approve as final, or request changes to be made. No item will print until you have approved the design for all elements in your invitation.

    Process

    Are there quantity or order minimums?
    Due to the custom-designed nature of each order, there is a minimum order requirement of $700 for invitations regardless of quantity. 
    I want you to create my invitations. How do we get started?

    The first step is to reserve your spot on the design schedule with a deposit. This deposit is applied toward your final balance. About 8 weeks before your invitations are scheduled to be finished, I’ll send a digital proof or design options for you to look at via email. Based on your feedback, I will tweak or modify the design to get it just right. Once you’ve given approval to print the invitation, any remaining balance on the order is due. Printing will begin only once both complete approval has been given and the balance is paid in full. Allow 3 to 4 weeks after final approval for printing, any assembly, and shipping.

    What does “reserve a date on the design schedule” mean exactly?

    Reserving a Design Start Date holds your spot on the schedule and guarantee availability (much like a florist, DJ or venue). Plan early to get on the schedule because spots are limited in order to provide the best possible service to every client. Oftentimes, the schedule is booked up months in advance. Last-minute and rush orders will be accommodated as the schedule allows and rush charges may apply.
