When should I order invitations for my event?
Ordering your invites approximately 6 months prior to your event date is best and allows the appropriate amount of time to factor in your specific details, design time, approvals, production/ assembly as well as time in the post. It is recommended to send out your wedding invitations 6 to 8 weeks in advance. Other events, like birthday parties can be sent out as little as 3 weeks in advance. However, the sooner you order, the better! Let us know when your event is and we can certainly determine a quote and create a timeline especially for YOU!
How much will it cost?
It really depends on many factors. For instance, the quantity you need to order, the construction style you chose, the type of printing you prefer, your timeline. When requesting a quote it is best that you provide me with as much information as possible. If you have a budget in mind, I can do my best to stay within your means. However, my services are custom making each price unique as well.
How many invitations should I order?
Typically one is sent per family, per couple, or single guest. Add approximately 20% more for late additions, B-listers and some to keep for yourself. Do not order 1 per person (common mistake).
How much postage will I need?
Quite often postage rates are changing. Variables like thickness, weight and embellishments that cause rigid surfaces directly effect the cost of postage. Always have your piece inspected by the post office to get the appropriate postage denomination. The price can change even slightly if you add items of your own like a map, confetti, rhinestones, ribbons, etc.
How it works... the process
LOGISTICS
Based on meetings via appointment, phone or email, a design brief with timeline and quote is presented to the client. To begin the process, a signed contract along with 50% deposit is required. Forms of accepted payment are cash, check, credit via paypal (paypal verified).
DESIGN PHASE
Allow up to 4 weeks for custom design. Tailored specifically for each project.
APPROVAL PHASE
Allow 2 to 4 weeks for revisions and final art approval. Alot of this depends on client's feedback. Currently, there are no extra fees for multiple revisions. If revisions do become excessive, fees will be discussed with client and charges must be agreed upon.
PRINTING/FINISHING PHASE
Allow up to 6 weeks for production. Necessary supplies are ordered at this time. Printing and assembly requires time and great attention to detail.
DELIVERY/SHIPPING
If the product is being shipped, please allow 5-7 business days. If you are a local (San Diego County), pick-up/drop off can be arranged.
