THE CUSTOM PAPER PROCESS

STEP ONE

Start by submitting a questionnaire here. This will help me understand what you are looking for and I will get you a personalized quote. Keep in mind this is only an initial quote and it will change as we move along in the process. The average Mary Made client spends $1,500 to $3,000.

STEP TWO

Lets chat about your vision! We will schedule a call and discuss your vision and details. In this call I will show you different invitation suites I have done and we will discuss the different components of an invitation suite that you may want to include. After our call, I will send you an updated quote with all the details included from our call.

STEP THREE

I require a 50% deposit in order to secure you in my calendar. This deposit is non-refundable. The rest will be due at the completion of design after you approve your final proof and before I send the project to print.

STEP FOUR

After I receive your deposit and signed contract, I will send you a form to fill out with all of your detailed information (like your dress code, invitation wording, etc.) Next I will get to work on the design!

STEP FIVE

You will receive your first round of proofs from me. You will have time to review these and give me feedback. 3 rounds of changes are included. After that any major changes incur additional fees.

STEP SIX

After you final designs have been approved, I will send your invitations off to print! At this time, the rest of your payment is due. If you have chosen to add on white glove assembly, I will take care of the assembly and stuffing of your envelopes. You will be in charge of postage and mailing.
