01.

Wedding invitations should be in the mail and sent to your guests 6-8 weeks prior to your wedding date. If your wedding is a destination, 12 weeks is ideal However we need longer than this for designing, proofing, and assembly. To get started on custom stationery, ideally booking your wedding date with me 8-12 months in advance is best so that your date is saved as I only take on 3 clients per wedding month. 

02.

Once your deposit is paid, we will schedule your in-person design session. The design session is typically scheduled 6 months prior to your wedding date.

Yes! About 80% of my couples prefer to meet in person to design their wedding invitations. The other 20% have been out-of-state couples. Working together in person allows us to connect and review your vision. I get to know your love story and can incorporate that into your design. We also go through samples and build your design from scratch. Plus in person cuts down on the proofing rounds and it's a fun appointment! Like the cake tasting appointment.

For clients more than 5 months from their wedding date, you have three payments: 33% at signing, 34% 6 months from wedding date and the remaining balance when your final proof is approved. Clients booking under 5 months, 25% due at signing and the remaining balance is due upon final proof approval. There is a spot to pay with your card on the invoice online. Cards will have a 3% transaction fee each transaction. Zelle, cash and checks are also accepted with no fees.

Yes you do. This protects you, the artwork and my business

Just about everything paper! All of your day-of wedding items will be cohesive in color, fonts and shapes to your invitations. I offer seating charts, welcome signs, bar signs, place cards, menus, thank you cards, ceremony programs, table numbers, etc. You can view more here.

Your invitation quantity is based on your number of guest households, not your guest count. The only exception is if multiple families live together in the same household or a family has a child over 18 in the same house, then they each receive their own wedding invitation. Usually if your guest count 100, you'll have somewhere between 45-60 households.

Most of clients spend $20-30 per household. So for a client that has 100 guests, 60 households and wants an envelope liner and wax seal, they may spend around $2,000 on their custom wedding stationery. This can vary depending on the print method with flat digital printing being most cost effective and letterpress, foil and embossing increasing the price.
