The Process
It’s easy as.. 1..2..3. Plus One More!
INSPIRATION TIME
Prior to reaching out, it’s always good to have an understanding of what you’re after. I suggest browsing through the collections, the Print & Style Guide, Instagram and even Pinterest to see what takes your fancy! Remember to make a note of any colors, paper types and printing methods you may like to use.
REACH OUT
Once you have an idea, reach out via our enquiry form. If you’ve fallen in love with one of our semi-tailored collections, note which one under the preferred suite section. Alternatively, if you are after a bespoke design, note this instead. Here we will discuss what you have in mind - details including theme, color, printing type and quantity.
Once I receive your email and I understand what you are after, I will provide you with an initial pricing proposal. If you’re happy to proceed, I request a 25% retainer fee, along with a signed contract.
THE NITTY GRITTY
This is where the magic happens!
Semi-Tailored Collections
A wedding / events details form will be sent to you to complete, along with an excel template for names and addresses, if you decided upon envelope addressing or any personalisations.
Once in receipt, I begin the customisation of your pieces - I hope you get as excited about this as much as I do! I will then send you a proof of the design for print approval. The remaining balance will also be requested, prior to the pieces being sent to print.
Bespoke Design
Similar to the collections, a wedding / events details form will be sent to you to complete. Based on the brief, I will provide you with a Mood Board to ensure we are all on the same page design-wise. We will then begin the creative process. I will send you proofs of the design concepts (I typically provide you with two!) for your review and feedback. We can then make any amendments necessary so that the pieces are absolutely perfect.
A final design proof will be sent prior to the pieces going to print. The remaining balance will also be requested.
PRINT & DELIVERY
Once payment is confirmed, and you’ve given the tick of approval, your pieces are off to print!
And once printed, I quality check, package with love and ship off your newly wrapped parcel with my courier to your specified delivery address. happy dance
*Printing can take between two (2) to four (4) weeks depending on your chosen print type (eg. foil, letterpress, die-cut etc). It’s always good to keep this in mind when preparing for your event.
LEAD TIMES
Digital / White Ink Printing - approximately 2-weeks from design approval to delivery.
Foiling / Letterpress - approximately 4-weeks from design approval to delivery.
For your invitations, please get in contact about 6-weeks before you wish to post them, if not sooner! This will mean we will have plenty of time to design, print and deliver the pieces to you. Have a read of our stories on when you should consider posting.
Day-Of Pieces - approximately 4-weeks from design approval to delivery.
This includes menus, place cards, welcome and seating signage etc. I advise having your RSVP date at least 6-weeks from your big day, which will allow you time to organise your guest list and seating plan. I will require these details as soon as possible to begin planning and creating your pieces, and to ensure they arrive to you on time!
