Thanks for stopping by and congratulations on your upcoming marriage! {stationery with style} is your premier online resource for personalized stationery, invitations and gift items. We strive to provide the ultimate in customer service. We enjoy working hand-in-hand with our brides to create custom and off-the-shelf invitations, programs and stationery to set the tone for the big day. We are currently in the process of adding our off-the-shelf wedding products to the website. In the interim, please read below for information regarding Custom Wedding Invitations. Consultation We will begin with a complimentary consultation, which we prefer to hold in person, but can be conducted via phone and email. During this meeting, I will learn more about you, your upcoming event and what you invision. Prior to our meeting, you should be prepared to provide budget parameters, estimated quantities and any ideas you may have. I will take the time to understand your desires and work diligently to create a design that will reflect your personal style in a manner that sets the tone for your big day. Design Phase Upon completion of the consultation, a custom design fee of $150 is due. This fee offsets the time and expenses related to preparing two concept samples for your review. Although the fee is 100% non-refundable, it will be credited to your account at the time your order is placed. Concept Sample Review Once your design fee is received I will go to work creating two concepts for your review. I will prepare complete samples to you in-person for local brides or via mail for out-of- town brides. The typical turn-around time for presentation of samples is usually 7-10 days from receipt of your design fee. This timeline may be slightly extended during peak times of the year. If you have concerns, please be sure to ask during the consultation. Design Selection After you have reviewed the concepts, you will need to make a selection. From that time any and all changes will be made to your selected design only. Two rounds of minor changes will be made without any additional charges. Changes beyond that will be charged at a rate of $50 per hour (one-hour minimum). This process will be completed via emailable PDF proofs. Approval When all changes have been completed, you will receive a final virtual sample via PDF proof through a secure area of our website. There, you will purchase your invitations, and by doing so, approve the final proof. Payment in-full is due at the time your order is placed. Please note that once placed, orders may not be cancelled, nor may further changes be made. Delivery At the time of order you will have the option to have your order shipped to you or picked up from my studio. Delivery times will vary due to a number of factors. The estimated delivery date for your order will be quoted at the time your order is placed. Additional Services We are happy to offer digital calligraphy and mailing services at a competitive rate. If either of these options is of interest to you, please inquire during the consultation. Pricing There are many factors that influence the cost of your invitations. I pride myself in working very hard to give each bride exactly what she wants at a price that meets her budget constraints. From simple and stylish to elegantly extravagant, I will work with your budget in mind. Because of the additional costs associated with custom work, a $500 minimum budget is required. For brides seeking a smaller investment, we have a number of unique off-the-shelf designs available that can be modified to semi-custom for an additional charge. If this is of interest to you, please inquire during the consultation. |
