Wedding Invitations - Process
WEDDINGS
Nothing can replace an in-person wedding consultation! Appointments are recommended for browsing the 3 wedding albums at our brick + mortar location. Prices for our invitations vary greatly based on the customizations made, the printing process used and the details, layers and 'extras' included. Every couple has a unique set of priorities and it is important to me that I offer something to suit every budget!
E X P E R I E N C E:
Likely this is your first time getting married - or it has been awhile since the last time, and it can feel overwhelming to learn the process of creating invitations to announce the details of your very important day! I have 15+ years of experience working to create invitations for weddings and events of all kinds. I have the answers to all those detail, wording and etiquette questions you may be juggling around in your head. This experience, paired with an eye for detail, is priceless when determining wording, layout, and logistics, and in making sure no detail is missed...all while keeping your style and budget in mind. Sitting down together to review design options and discuss your must-have details and priorities is a great way to make all those things on your wishlist a reality!
T I M I N G:
Invitations should be mailed 6 - 8 weeks prior to your event. The ordering process can take anywhere from 6 weeks to 6 months depending on the details involved, proofing iterations and any assembly that is needed. It is never too early to schedule an appointment to discuss details and get your plan in place.
Q U A L I T Y:
Your invitations are the first impression your guests will have on what is to come at your wedding...and the paper is important! Through an in-person appointment you will have an opportunity to see and touch, first-hand, the quality of the elements that will go into your invitation suite. Many paper options are available to you ranging from a standard smooth bright white stock to a thick, pulpy, cotton and/or textured stock. Colored paper and handmade papers are also available.
O F F E R I N G S:
I have partnered with three wonderful invitation companies to bring you amazing options that will fit your design and budget wishlist. As a designer myself, I listen closely to your preferences and if something isn't available through these three options, we can mix and match design elements to create a custom suite just for you!
