How long does production take?
We prefer to have as much time as possible but realize that with all the various details that must come together, we appreciate that this isn't always possible. We prefer to have 2 months from the final sign off of the invitation set in order to have all the stock and supplies ordered, printed and cut and the assembly. We have worked on some tight deadlines and realize there are times when less time can be provided so don't let that deter you from asking if we can accommodate.
Can we assemble ourselves?
Of course! The assembly isn't difficult, more time consuming and if you have time and desire to be hands on with the production, we're here to offer instruction on the secrets we've developed over the years.
What kind of embellishments do you have?
What are you looking for? We've been known to walk in the woods collecting parts and pieces and have spent our share of time on the internet looking for something that fits a vision or theme we're working on. There are endless options available from slight references of a theme to bold embellishments.
Can I chose different colors then the sample shows?
Anything from colors to paper to embellishments and art can be changed to accomplish your dream invitation. As you'll see from the wide range of samples, we try to offer a range of shapes, fonts, artwork and style and look forward to the parts and pieces being combined to create a very personalized unique invitation.
What kinds and colors of paper are available?
There are more paper options available then we could list. Many of the samples we have in the studio which range from shimmer to handmade. Often a combination of papers is used to achieve the desired results.
Do you offer Save the Dates?
Absolutely, in just about shape, color and style. We have options for magnets, calendars, engagement pictures and postcards.
Will you ship?
We work with local brides and coordinators as well as worldwide clientele, shipping is an important necessity and we're happy to send samples both electronically and via mail and shipping services.
Do you offer calligraphy services?
We work with a range of calligraphers from traditional to modern styles. We have samples at our studio of the various options. There are also many printed options that look like calligraphy or script for a more cost effective option.
How much will a full set cost?
Because there are so many parts and pieces involved in creating a custom invitation set, we have postponed set pricing. The other reason for this is once pricing is set we can't adjust to meet a budget or rearrange printing to be the most cost effective. No doubt this will come one day, but for now this is the best way we can offer our services. If you're looking to stay in a budget, just let us know what that is and we can make appropriate recommendations.
Can you create a map?
We've found that the best way to provide maps is to utilize various mapping programs and simply trace the lines in a design program allowing for as details information as needed. We have a range of styles in our portfolio.
Do you recommend other wedding vendors?
We've been in the wedding venue for several years now and have a group of vendors we are comfortable recommending. Please let us know what you are in need of and we would be happy to offer some assistance.
Are you displaying at any bridal shows?
We attend local bridal shows pretty regularly to include Castle Farms in Charlevoix and Traverse City shows if we can get in. We're happy to schedule a meeting in our studio to meet your schedule.
Will you help me keep everything in my budget?
Budgets are important and we can be pretty creative about creating the perfect look well within a budget.
What if I found an invitation I like, can you create a similar one?
This is actually very helpful, whether you find things on our website or others, in print or just colors, textures and themes. Any way we can see the vision you're holding the more quickly we can produce samples that portray it.
I'm lost on etiquette, can you help?
Etiquette has changed much over the years, and things that are appropriate now would never have been years ago. We can help you find a balance where you are comfortable.
There are so many verses to chose from, can you help?
We have a list of verses to help compile the information in a central location and have actually found that in most cases a unique combination of more traditional verses is used.
