Wedding Papers
CONSULTATION AND INFORMATION GATHERING
Our Wedding Papers invitations are pre-designed invitations ready for you to customize through your choice of ink colors and typefaces.
QUESTIONS TO CONSIDER
- What invitation have you chosen?
- What is your chosen typeface or combination of typefaces and ink color or colors?
- What components do you want? Will it just be an invitation and reply card? Will you include a map*/directions card, accommodations card, reception card? What about save-the-dates, programs, thank-yous? Will you need place cards or menus? Keep in mind that some caterers or reception venues require place cards and/or menu cards. Does yours?
- How many invitation sets do you need? Always order at least 25 more than you need. Keep in mind that it is better to have extra than to have to go back on press, which is expensive and time consuming. Also, people close to you often request a second copy for scrapbooks and/or framing.
- Carefully consider the wording of each piece. Will it be formal or casual? Traditional or modern? Are there menu items to be included on the reply card? We will also need the addresses to be included: both the return address on the invitation and the mailing address on the reply if they are different.
PROCESS AND POLICIES
When all of the above questions have been answered a formal quote will be provided (this quote may be different than the initial estimate given after a general inquiry). A signed estimate, contract and a 50% non-refundable deposit begins the process. Within three weeks of receiving the deposit, three different invitation designs will be presented to you via email. You choose which one you want to go with and we will then begin to refine the design of the invitation and it's components.
REVISIONS
A total of three revisions are available to you as part of the estimate. Further revisions are billed at a rate of $50 per hour. All changes must be emailed with concise direction.
FINAL APPROVAL
Each piece of the final invitation design must be signed indicating that they are to your specifications and are error free. This must be done by fax or mail and cannot be done over email. Please proofread very carefully as Armato Design & Press is not responsible for errors or typos that appear on the final product that also appear on the signed and approved proof.
FINAL PAYMENT
After final approval and before going to press the remainder of the bill is due. Armato Design & Press will not proceed to print without payment in full.
DELIVERY TIME
Standard delivery time is 3–5 weeks after final approval and payment, but may vary depending on the size of your order. Please inquire as to your individual delivery date.
CANCELLATIONS
Cancellations before going to press will be accepted. The 50% deposit will not be refunded. Cancellations after the invitations and associated components have been printed are not accepted or refunded. Remember that payment in full is due before going to press.
