Your wedding is such a personal experience, so why settle for a generic-looking invitation when you can work face-to-face with someone local, who is with you every step of the way through your wedding journey.

If you know exactly what colours you’re after – let me know during your consultation and I can build a colour theme just for you.

STEP 1

DESIGN CONSULTATION

If you are feeling overwhelmed and don’t know what you want OR if you need help to make your vision a reality BOOK AN APPOINTMENT, email me or call 0403 343 610 to chat about how I can customise the perfect stationery suite for you based on your colours, venue and overall wedding day vibe.

STEP 3

DESIGN CONCEPT ARTWORK

I will take your vision as we discussed and start creating your wedding invitation suite starting with an onscreen design concept* so that you can visually see how everything will look together.

It is recommended purchasing a printed sample** with all customised invitations so you can see in person your complete set. Any chances can still be made here until your are completely happy with the final result before full production commences.

It is VERY IMPORTANT that you proofread your invitation suite. Check names, date, time, venue, general wording). It’s always a good idea to have someone else check it with you.

An ‘Artwork Approval Form’ will also be sent to you to fill out & returned. I will only accept approval confirmation via email, not by phone or by text message.

PIXEL AND INK DESIGNS holds NO responsibility for errors once artwork has been sent to print. It is your responsibility to check ALL your artwork.

*For full custom designs only

**Please allow 2 weeks for the sample invitation process. Variations in times may depend on material availability.

***Please be aware that colours will appear slightly differently on screen than they will when printed.

STEP 4

PRODUCTION

Printing & assembly of your invitations process takes 2-6 weeks depending on the invitation style, quantity & production requirements. The utmost care is taken to achieve professional results. Why does it take this time you ask? Well, there are a lot of factors involved:

The ordering of stock – if you have ordered a sample, chances are I have the correct amount of stock to finalise your order, however, if additional numbers of invitations increase OR a change in design means different stock, then more time may be required.
Printing – this can be a timely process & whilst all my clients are important to me, I have to also adhere to the printing company production schedules.
Assembly – the utmost care is taken during the assembly process including checking over the printing, assembly of embellishments and compiling with co-ordinated envelopes.

STEP 5

DELIVERY

Your invitations can be pick up from the home studio (in Kotara), delivered to you or delivered straight to your guests. Delivery charges will apply. All deliveries are via Australia Post unless otherwise organised.
