custom wedding invitations
FAQ
WHAT IS YOUR TURNAROUND?
Generally, project turnaround for invitations is up to 5-6 weeks, and up to 3-4 weeks for save the dates and day of paper items. Fulfillment begins from the point you approve all design proofs for print, so turnaround times do not include the design phase or shipping times. When calculating your timeline, I recommend allowing a good 1-2 weeks for the design phase + the project turnaround time.
WHAT IS THE DESIGN PHASE?
The design phase is the period during which I work on the personalization of your order. Once you provide the necessary wording and info, you will be sent digital proofs via email for you to look over. First proofs and any following revisions are provided within 1-2 weeks. The amount of time spent on the design phase will depend on factors such as your response time and how many revisions you require.
Once you okay your digital proofs, you will be emailed an approval form for you to read and sign, along with the invoice for the balance due on your order, if applicable. Then, once the waiver and payment are received, I can begin production of your order within our given turnaround times.
HOW MANY ROUNDS OF REVISIONS ARE INCLUDED?
Each order includes three rounds of proofs/revisions. Any additional rounds will incur a design fee of $25 per round.
DO YOU OFFER PRINTABLE FILES FOR ME TO PRINT ON MY END?
Yes! I am happy to offer the DIY printing option for international clients and those with tighter project timelines or individuals just wanting a more hands-on experience with their wedding invitations. With the printable option, I personalize each card design and then email you the print-ready, non-editable PDF file/s for you to download and print locally or online. Due to potential differences in printing method and paper product, your end result may vary from our final print product.
DO YOU PROVIDE ENVELOPE ADDRESSING?
Digital guest and return address printing is available for all envelopes, in white or black/color ink.
DO YOU OFFER MATCHING MENUS, PROGRAMS, AND OTHER DAY OF PAPER ITEMS?
I certainly do! Most of the suites above don’t showcase the matching items that coincide with each suite, but they were created! Happy to share those PDFs upon request. Larger paper items, such as posters and signs, are not available to be printed and shipped to you, but we I offer printable PDF files for you to print.
CAN I ADD LETTERPRESS, FOIL STAMPING OR EDGE PAINTING/GILDING?
Absolutely! This is an additional cost, but it’s available.
WHAT PAPER DO YOU USE, AND CAN I GET SOMETHING THAT IS THICKER?
My printer’s house paper is Cranes Lettra 110lb., but for an additional 25% you can use 220lb. There are a select number of other printers I use, so there are other options if you are interested in a particular finish/texture.
