1 CUSTOM WEDDING STATIONERY GUIDE Getting started: So you're engaged, congratulations! Now what? Now it's time to set the date and start the planning! Thank you for choosing Invited Design Studio/Invited Letterpress as your custom invitation designer. We are excited to have the opportunity to help you create the perfect invitations and accessories to impress your guests. We have many different options here, and if you don't see something in our galleries that speaks to you, we are more than happy to collaborate with you and your fiancée on designing a custom piece that reflects your personalities! We begin by meeting you in the studio, on the phone, or through Skype. At that time, we ask that you share your vision of how you expect your wedding day to look, and what inspires you. This is a great time to show us your Pintrest boards, swatches, or pictures. Your stationery items will set the tone for your event whether that be a rustic birch theme or a simple and classic monogram pulled throughout. It is our job to help you pull all your inspiration into a work of art! The Design Process, Proofing & Timeline: During our initial meeting we will walk you through choosing your papers, fonts, and the different design elements you wish to use in your custom invitations. We will provide you with an itemized estimate for the style of invitation you seek. We will also go over the exact wording you would like on your invitation, the insert pieces, and RSVP. In this estimate we always include RSVP postage (which is at cost, and no extra charge to you), and digital addressing of envelopes (Calligraphy is offered as an additional service and will be priced upon request). Once you have approved the initial estimate and decided to secure Invited Design Studio, Inc.'s services, we require a 50%. At that time we will order all of your paper stock and you will go into the queue for design. 1. Once we have received a deposit the design process will begin! You will receive the first design mock up within 3-4 weeks. 2. From here you can make changes to the design or copy so that it is a perfect reflection of you! We include 3 sets of proof suites, after the third set there is a fee of $75 per mock-up. 3. Design proofs are ed in a PDF format.

2 4. Once you have approved the final design we require an approval signature on the most updated proof suite that you have chosen. It is imperative that you thoroughly review all proofs and edits throughout the design process. Once we receive your final written approval of design, Invited Design Studio, Inc. is not responsible for any errors including punctuation, spelling, layout, etc. If you choose to reprint you are responsible for 100% of the printing and production costs. 5. If you have trouble visualizing the final product and require a hard proof we would be happy to produce one for you. The cost is $35. *The process time will vary depending on your order and our current schedule, so please allow plenty of time for delivery of your custom invitations. For custom wedding invitations we ask for about 3 months prior to your mailing date. We can also rush orders for an additional charge. *Invited Design Studio, Inc. reserves the right to change or alter font size, shade of color etc., if printing is unsatisfactory to the designer (ie: font size, or shade).
