PROCESS
-
Our first phase is all about establishing expectations from service and design perspectives. We’ll discuss the major graphic needs for your event and make suggestions for additional enhancements. We’ll discuss deadlines and put together an in-depth project scope - outlining all the designs you want and need to execute a well curated event - as well as a production timeline and budget.
IDENTIFY ALL EVENT NEEDS
ESTABLISH DESIGN + PRODUCTION SCHEDULE
OUTLINE BUDGET
-
The collaborative design process starts by getting to know you - not just taking a look at your your pinterest or checking out color palettes, but learning about your personal style and interests - what really makes you tick and how that can be represented by the event stationary and branding.

frequently asked questions
-
Each project is custom and pricing is dependent on a number of factors including complexity of design, production methods and material choices. During the consultation process we will make suggestions to meet your design and budget needs, but our invitation clients spend an average of $3,500-$5,000.
-
On average 2-3 months from initial consultation to delivery of completed printed items.
-
We can! We will organize inserts by guest, attach enclosures or embellishments such as belly bands, ribbon or wax seals, stuff, seal, and apply appropriate postage based on weight. A fee will be assigned based on complexity of the assembly and added to your final invoice.
-
If we are providing assembly services we will carefully package the completed lot and ship to you via a trackable shipping provider. We choose not to place invitations in the mail ourselves, because, well, USPS.

Check, ACH transfer, Zelle, Venmo or Wire

As artists we respect the skill and effort required to create unique designs. Copying another artists’ work is both illegal and unethical. We can certainly take a look a designs you are drawn to for inspiration, but if you’re looking for an exact replica we encourage you to reach out to that artist directly.
-
We prefer to start with a blank slate when developing a custom branding story for our clients to ensure the integrity of the final designs meet our standards and your expectations. After review, if your logo is aligned we will consider incorporating.
-
Yes, but depending on the production method you’ve chosen there may be a hefty fee to do so. If you’ve chosen letterpress or foil stamping the cost to produce a hard proof will be significant - nearly as much as the cost of the full order. A digital print can be run at no additional cost but will create delays in production.
We take great care in creating the most realistic digital mockups for our clients so you can get a true sense of how the final product will look once printed and assembled.
We’re also happy to send a curated sample pack so you can review paper types, weights, textures and colors.
