How it Works

Getting Started

Make it yours! Scroll through the website and visit all the designs, customizations and accessories you can add to your invitation suite. Once you have gone through the site and want to request a print quote, fill out the form on Step5 (here). Let us know what print methods you like, what paper pieces you need, and what accessories you want to add on. Clicking the submit button doesn’t require a deposit or payment of any kind. This allows us to know what you are looking for, so we can email you a pricing breakdown of everything you are interested in.

Phone Chat

We want to talk with you! We would love to schedule a phone chat with you. We want to hear all about your wedding, the over all style you are going for and what you are envisioning on your paper goods. We will chat through print methods, the paper pieces you need, wording etiquette, talk about timelines – when to mail your invitations and any other questions you have. Once our phone chat is finished, we will resend you a detailed price quote based on everything we talked about.

THE DESIGN PROCESS & PROOFING

Once you are ready to start your designs, we will ask for your wording (don’t worry we can help if you aren’t sure how to properly word your invitations) and your customization preferences. We will then get started on your designs and send over your first proof within 2-3 business days straight to your inbox. We want these invitations to be exactly what you always dreamed they would be and we are happy to make as many revisions as you need. Typically this process takes about 2 weeks, certainly could go faster, it really just depends on the level of customizations you are looking for and how many revisions you have.

FINALIZE & ORDER

Once everything is approved and ready to go to print! We will ask you to confirm your final details and sign off on the proof sheet. We will then send you your invoice for review & payment. As soon as your invoice is paid and your proof sheet is signed we will then put your invitations into production and we will do some virtual cheers & high fives.

PRODUCTION

This is where your beautiful designs come to life! Each invitation is hand printed & inspected by our production team. Production time is typically 15 – 20 business days depending on the season. Orders with assembly will have a slightly longer turnaround time.

SHIPPING

Once we are finished printing, we will lovingly package up your paper goods and prepare a shipping quote for you. You can then choose the transit time that works for you. All orders are shipped via UPS with tracking & signature confirmation. The best part of all, is receiving and holding these beauties in your hands and sending them out to all your friends & family. We can’t wait to hear what all your guests think!
