Custom Design


Overview:

Bring your Pinterest dreams to life by working with one of our local designers to craft a custom design for your wedding or special event.  

The Process:

1. Pay Deposit and complete the Custom Design Questionnaire.  This brief form will give us all the details we need about your wedding theme, items you need, and more so we can gather some quotes for you on design time and printing costs. We will reach out after receiving your completed form and will let you know if we have any questions or need additional information. 

2.  Review your Estimate and 1st Proofs of your Custom Design, Style Guide & Monogram.  Within 2-3 business days, you will receive an estimate on your project, a style guide, custom monogram, and a digital proof of either the save the date or invitation card. If desired, we can certainly Zoom with you to review these details, so don't hesitate to request an appointment!

What's a style guide?  Your style guide is a one-page visual overview of your wedding theme - including fonts, colors, patterns/illustrations (if necessary) and your very own customized monogram that can be used on any printed pieces or elsewhere to brand your wedding!  Scroll down for additional information and a visual :)

What is a monogram?  This is a graphic of two or more letters, typically a couple's initials, usually interwoven or otherwise combined in a decorative design.  This is the perfect icon to use in your stationery design, wax seals or stickers for sealing your envelopes or belly bands, printed on cocktail or reception napkins, etched onto personalized gifts or printed on clothing for your wedding party!

3.  The Perfecting Phase. 

  1. After receiving your first proof and style guide, you will work with us to finalize the design of your monogram and primary card (save the date or invitation).  FYI...unlimited revisions are included with your purchase to finalize your design until its perfect!  Please allow 1-2 business days for each round of proofs.
  2. Once you have given us written (emailed) approval of your style guide, monogram and proof, we will need you to complete our Custom Design Questionnaire II, which gives us the details we need to finish designing and personalizing the additional pieces in your order! Within 3-5 business days after we get your completed Questionnaire II, you will receive the first digital proofs of the additional items in your order.  We will continue to work with you to finalize these items until you give written approval to print.
  3. Lastly, we will also be finalizing your estimate to make sure we have everything you need for your big day! 

    4.  The Printing Phase.  After we receive written (emailed) approval of your proofs (art files), we will create a second invoice with the balance due for your order. We kindly ask you pay in full for your order, and then we will release the order to production. 

    Please refer to the Order Process for details about production time and order fulfillment!
