We recommend getting started 4-6 months before your event date. The earlier the better! Our process starts with a consultation by e-mail, phone, or in person. You tell us what you want and we'll offer some advice or suggestions. Once we have an idea of what you want, we can start designing your custom design. We charge a $25 design fee plus any materials that are needed for you to see. The design fee is credited towards your purchase. From there we can create and change your design based on what you want any number of times. If we create something and you want to change a few things, or the whole thing, that's not a problem!
Once the design is approved by you, we require 50% of the total cost to start producing your unique design. This usually takes 4-6 weeks depending on the number needed. The other 50% is required once your order is completed and before we are able to ship.
Note: This design fee doesn't apply to our Birth Announcements, Birthday Invitations, and Save the Date Cards. The custom fee is already included in the price. The process for these products are a lot faster. Please visit our Custom Birth Announcements page, and Save the Date Cards page for the process and timeline for those products.
