THE ORDER
We charge a non-refundable $500 graphic design fee to create your perfect invitations. This fee covers all of the graphic design time needed to make your invitation dreams come true! It is possible that this fee may be quoted higher or lower, depending on your specific needs. But it's usually $500, so make sure you budget for at least that.
THE DESIGN
Once your design fee has been paid, submit your wedding details through our client portal. A designer will provide you with the first digital rendering of your invitation. Depending on when your wedding is, this could be as little as 1-2 weeks - but it could be as much as 3-4 weeks. If you're in a hurry, please be sure to let us know!
THE PRODUCTION
Usually around 4-5 months before the wedding, you will place your order for "printed product". Up until this point, we have only been paid for graphic design services and thus no printed product has been created. This is the time that you will confirm the qty of invitations needed (keeping in mind our minimum order qty), sign our print contract and pay for the actual printed product for your invitations. This process usually takes 4-6 weeks, so make sure you're leaving enough time that you're not going to be late!
THE PICKUP / DELIVERY
Once your order is complete, you can pick up at our Mississauga location with no extra fee. OR you can opt to have your order shipped for an additional fee. Your invitations will come fully assembled in that they are glued together, glittered, rhinestoned - you don't have to do anything crafty. We even print your addresses on the envelopes! The only thing you will need to do is stuff your invitations* and put stamps on everything! Remember, invitations are almost ALWAYS overweight. Therefore, it's best for you to wait until you have the actual product in hand to have one weighed at the post office.
*Some invitations require a bit more assembly work. We will let you know before you order if your invitation requires more in-depth assembly, and provide options for assembly services should you wish.
