Frequently Asked Questions

 

How does it work?

To keep your cost down and keep the job a simple and efficient as possible, consult with us in person or through e-mail. Your designer will ask the right questions to help you choose the perfect combination of colors & styles. We love that we are one of the most cost effective suppliers of hand crafted invitations out there, but we also pride ourselves on being very detailed and avoiding those last minute fees you weren't expecting; so, you will first receive an estimate on your invitation choice. Following a 50% deposit and finalization of details a proof will be provided for your review. You will be giving the opportunity to make any last minute changes before printing.
 
If you want to print your invitations yourself, we can assist you with paper selection, supplies and etiquette.

How do I order and how long will it take?

If you are going to be in the area, please call for an appointment with one of our designers. Consultations are free and generally take about an hour. If you are interested in working with us and are unable to come to the studio give us a call and we can work with you over the phone and through e-mail. Once a design has been chosen and details finalized a sample will be provided for your review.
