Explore the Process
Consultation
First, we’ll jump on a call to make sure we’re a good fit! Next, we’ll schedule an in-person or video consultation to chat about your vision and any important details, like your venue, colors, inspiration, etc. Once we determine what you love, want, and need, I’ll put together an estimate.
Contract & Deposit
After you approve the estimate, you'll sign a contract and submit a 30% deposit to secure your wedding date on my calendar. Then we can officially get started!
Details
Where is your wedding? What time does it start? How formal is it? I’ll provide a form with questions like these to help me determine what type of wording is needed for your suite. I’ll also provide a Google Sheet template for all your guests’ addresses.
Design
Now it’s my turn and when the fun really starts! First, I will create a mood board based on everything that we discussed to align to an overall design direction. After that, I’ll design 2 to 3 concepts of how your invitations can come to life. I offer unlimited rounds of design on custom invitations.
Final Proof
Once we’re feeling good about everything, I’ll send you a final design proof. This is when you, your partner, your parents, and your wedding planner can make sure that everything from the event details to spelling of your names is perfect. Then we head into production!
Assembly
Once produced, I offer services to assemble, stamp, and mail out all of your invitations for you. If you prefer to mail them yourself, I can hand them off to you for assembly.
Day-of Design
After your invitations have been mailed, we can discuss any day-of design pieces that you'd like for the big day. We’ll set up another call to discuss what you need, and I’ll put together an estimate for any additional pieces.
