: : THE DESIGN PROCESS : :

Choosing a custom-designed invitation gives you the utmost in flexibility and personalization. You’ll work directly with Melissa to create a paper suite that truly reflects who you are as a couple. Think of it as your official “Couple Introduction!”

Step 1: So many choices!
The best way to get started is with a complimentary 90-minute consultation. We’ll talk about colors, styles and themes you would like to incorporate into your paper suite, and view paper swatches, invitation samples and wording choices.

Step 2: It’s official!
Once you decide to work with Persnickety for your wedding invitations, a non-refundable 50% deposit is required to order material and begin the design process.

Step 3: My favorite part!
Persnickety will design the first round of proofs and send them to you digitally via email for review. We will then work through additional revisions based on your feedback. After the invitations are approved digitally, the customer has the option to request a final digitally printed proof before production begins.

Step 4: Say “Yes!” to the design!
Once written, final approval is received from the client, printing and production begins. A final count must be confirmed before printing begins.

Step 5: Put a fork in them, they’re done!
Custom invitations typically require 2-3 weeks of printing and production from proof approval. This timeframe may vary based on number of invitations, print processes used, and availability of materials. The final balance – including any additional charges for postage, assembly or addressing – must be paid in full before invitations are released.
