Pricing
One of the top questions when picking out your invitation is “How much will it cost?”. Well that depends on a lot of different variables, such as quantity (the more you order, the lower the cost is per invitation set) or materials (i.e. pocket fold, layering options, ribbons, jewels, rhinestones, number of inserts, inner envelope or envelope liner). I offer so many custom services and options, that the cost will depend on what options you choose. 

I understand every event has a budget and I will work within that budget and still give you the beautiful (or stunning) invitation you desire. I offer a “pre-designed” invitation that still gives you a custom look without breaking the bank.

For birthday/shower invitations and baby/engagements announcements you can choose to receive a high resolution jpg file and print as many as you want yourself. The price for that high resolution jpg file only is $50, which includes a custom designed invitation. I also offer to print these invitations which come with matching envelopes. The price for that would depend on the quantity needed.

What is the first step to getting started ?
Congratulations on your special event. Whether you are planning a wedding, a birthday party, or a shower (bridal or baby), the first step would be contact me by email, calling (630) 517-8237 or filling out the contact form on my contact page.

How soon will you respond to my inquiry?
I will respond to your inquiry within 2 or 3 days. If you live in the Western Suburbs of Chicago, we can set up a consultation in person or it can be done over the phone or through email. During that first consultation, I will gather more information about your event, such as budget, theme you are going for, color scheme, and party details. After our consultation, I will put together a proposal with pricing and invitation suggestions. If you choose to continue to work with me, a non-refundable deposit of $50 will be needed. If you order your invitations with me, this deposit will be applied towards your total order.

After receiving my proposal, how do we proceed? 
After you received my proposal, please review the pricing and invitation suggestions. Let me know any questions or concerns you might have about the invitation suggestions. Please let me know what you liked or did not like. Remember these suggestions are just a starting point. Feel free to take one invitation just as it is, or mix and match, or let me know that I need to go in a different direction. I want your invitation to be exactly how you want and I will do what it takes to make that happen.

After discussing my invitations suggestions with you, what happens next?
After discussing the invitation suggestions, I will take your information and make whatever changes are needed.  I will send you an updated invitation for your approval, along with an order form for you to review and sign.  Also at this time a payment of half of the total will be due. The final payment will be due before you receive your final invitations.

Can revisions be made after the invitation has been approved?
Once the invitation has been approved, you can receive up to 3 revisions. If more revisions are required, there will be an extra fee of $50.

My invitation is perfect, what happens next?
After we have gone through all the necessary revisions, I will email you a final proof to review and approve. I will not start printing until I receive your final approval in an email. So please review the final proof very carefully. Be sure to double check the spelling, dates, time, locations, and directions. Once I have received your final approval in an email and payment of 50%, printing will begin. If an error was made on my part I will fix it at no cost to you, but if an error was made on your end, you will incur the costs to correct it.

How long before my invitations will be shipped?
Once the final approval has been given, printing will start right way. The timeline of when you receive your order depends on how much labor is involved to put the invitation together. For example if your invitation includes a ribbon and/or rhinestones, it will take longer than a flat invitation with no embellishments.

For birthday/shower invitations and baby/engagements announcements you can choose to receive a high resolution jpg file and print as many as you want yourself. If that is the case, you will receive the high resolution file within a day of final approval.

When is my payment due?
A non-refundable deposit of $50 will be due after you have received the price and invitation suggestions if you choose to continue to work with me. If you order your invitations with me, this deposit will be applied towards your total order.

A payment of half of the total is due after I have sent you an invitation for approval. The remaining balance will be due before your order can be shipped.

What payment options do you accept?
We accept check or PayPal.
