HOW IT WORKS

Let’s start with some pricing.

To keep it simple, below are two popular wedding suite formations, and their ballpark pricing based on the number of households to which you’ll be inviting.

Of course you may choose to customize the suite to better suit your needs and budget.

Whatever you decide to do, I will approach all suites the same way - highly personalized, and illustrated to the hilt!

Prices include all custom design, illustration, and lettering by me, as well as paper materials and flat printing.

Moderate Weddings include 60 to 150 guests
Large Weddings include 151 to 200 guests

DESIGN PROCESS

1 Explore

We kick off the process with a questionnaire form, where you describe what your wedding will look like and feel like with some evocative adjectives ("beachy elegance", "Palm Springs in the Adirondacks"), and color palette suggestions, and whatever else you’d like to share! In general though, keep an open mind with the design as it may lead us to delightfully unexpected places.

2 Sketch

time: 2-4 weeks

Next I produce concepts and lay out what goes where, in what size and shapes, generally speaking. Please note that I’ll be presenting rough sketches of the design, where illustrations are simplified, in abstract, in black and white, etc. If there are any major tweaks to be done, it would be at this stage.

3 Paint!

time: 4-8 weeks

Once the concepts are approved, I move onto painting, adding details that may have been implied in the sketch stage. You will have two revisions here if needed. Changes should be along the lines of color and text edits and the like, rather than a brand new rework of the design.

While I am painting, you are gathering guest addresses, and perhaps picking out postage stamps.

4 Print

time: 3-6 weeks

Production begins after final approval of the design.

Time varies depending on printing methods. Flat printing is the default printing and is the quickest. Introducing a different method such as letterpress printing or special cut shapes will increase the production time by at least 2 weeks.

5 Assemble & Mail

Time: 2 - 3 weeks

I can handle the addressing, stuffing of envelopes, affixing of the postage, and mail everything out for you!

In all, the entire process will take about 3 to 5 months, depending on design complexity, revisions, and printing methods.
