the process
From first hello to your finished stationery suite- here's how it works.
making the magic happen…
I do my best to make the process from initial 'hello' to finished stationery suite as simple and stress-free for you as possible. If you've had a browse through The Design Shop and you like what you see, here's what you can expect as we work together.
If you know that the totally bespoke route is the one you want to go down, your process will be slightly different and a smidge more involved. To start things off on the bespoke stationery journey, head over to my Bespoke Design page and fill out an enquiry form there. I can't wait to hear from you.
choose a design!
The first step is the most important: finding the stationery design that's right for you and your wedding.
Every one of the collections in The Design Shop can be personalised with your own wording, and lots of them have options for other customisation as well, with potential for colour tweaks and other additions.
You can find out what's possible on each by clicking on the individual images in the gallery on The Design Shop page.
get in touch!
When you see a design that you like, the next step is to build your quote with my price calculator. Choose your design and pick the items you'd like to include- you'll get an instant price quote on the other side.
Have a think on the items you'd like to include in your suite. Do you just need invitations and RSVP cards? Do you want to wow your guests with gorgeous 'on the day' items like table plans and place settings? Are you after any bells and whistles like envelope liners and belly bands? The price calculator will take you through all of the options step by step.
Once you're happy with your estimate you can send it straight through to me and I'll be in touch to confirm the details and get your booking locked in.
it's design time!
Once you have your quote and are happy to go ahead, I will send you an invoice and a form to gather the all-important wedding details.
The usual lead-time for The Design Shop is 3–4 weeks. If we're getting started straight away, the full payment will be due at this point. If you're booking in for a future date a booking fee of around 10% will be due to secure your design slot.
Once I get started on your designs, you'll receive the first digital proof within 48 working hours. At this point you'll need to check the proofs for any errors- spelling, grammar, venue addresses, dates and times. It's your responsibility to make sure that everything is exactly the way you want it, so have those eyes set to 'eagle'.
done and dusted!
Any amendments from the first proofs are made for you and a final proof is sent. When you're 100% happy and have signed these off, I will place the order for your prints.
Your designs are then sent away to my trusted professional printers who normally take no longer than 5–7 working days.
Once your order is ready, I'll get it all beautifully boxed up and ready to go. You will receive an email from me to let you know that it's on the way. Then all that's left to do is wait impatiently for the post to arrive!
