The Semi-Custom Design Process
Consultation
First, we’ll jump on a call to discuss which semi-custom design and printing technique that you’re interested in. We can change any colors or information to better match your event. For semi-custom suites, no in-person consultation is needed.
Contract & Deposit
Next, I’ll put together an estimate based on our initial conversation. Once the estimate is approved, 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! I’ll begin designing your semi-custom wedding suite around your event using all the details we chatted about. I offer three rounds of design revisions, which includes the final proof.
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.
