The Beginning
Our process begins with an in-depth consultation. This is where we start our digging and learn absolutely everything we can about your big event! We always encourage people to become design detectives! Newspaper clippings, fabric swatches, Instagram, Pinterest or Google images and your collection of wedding invitations – we would like to get a feel for your idea of eye candy.
During this time we generally understand if you need any of the following:
- Save-the-dates (Pre-invites)
- Invitations
- RSVP
- Address labels or calligraphy for outer envelopes
- Plastic Sleeves
- Money Covers
- Favour/Mithai/Dryfruit Box
- Paper Bag
- Program Card
- Menus
- Place cards
- Table numbers
- Thank you notes
Once we know what you are looking for and most importantly how much quantity for each, then we look for suitable materials, samples, and create a schedule and will give you a rough guideline price on what it will take to create your invitations.
Time Keeping Generally we take twenty to thirty days to finish the process of wedding invitation from an existing design collection. We require at least 4 to 5 months coming up with new design concepts. However the time for birth announcement and party invitations differs as these can be created within a 1 to 3 month time frame. Rush orders can be accommodated at an extra cost.
Pricing
- Our prices are based on each individual design job. We always try to cater for the needs and requirements of the event/client! Prices will vary based on the quantity, the materials that are chosen as well as the printing method that includes silk screen printing, raised printing, embossed logo/monogram, hot foil stamp process, laser-cut effect, silk or paper binded effect (book style), stitching fabrics and more.
- For those with a really small quantity (be it 25 to 150), there will be a lump-sum cost covering the basic costs of all processes and material.
Yes?
If you choose to use ARTYS PAPER HERITAGE as your stationer, fill up the order form get the estimate and timeline. Once the order has been confirmed, you will be required to pay 60% DEPOSIT (rest 40% against delivery), payable by cheque or bank wire transfer. At this time you should also provide a rough draft of the wording you would like to include in the design of your project (i.e. wording of your invitation/ envelope details/ announcement/ RSVP text, etc.). We prefer to have wording in word file.
The Making Process
Once we have received the deposit, the design process will begin! Based on your timeline, ARTYS PAPER HERITAGE will present design options as discussed, email you a colour pdf proof for your review with colours, materials and printing process outlined, you will then have the opportunity to provide feedback and identify any changes you want to make or new ideas you may wish to incorporate. We recommend for changes to be send via email.
Our process allows for three rounds of fine tuning the design so that it is pixel perfect.
Once you have approved a version and its material, it will be processed into a "final design proof" for sign off. Proof needs to be thoroughly checked to avoid mistakes in spellings and text.
Final Sign Off
Before printing and assembly of your invitation begin you will be sent the "final proof" by email. At this time you will review and confirm that every detail is correct: the layout, typestyle, spelling, grammar and punctuation. We ask that you conform via email your approval. Once you have approved the digital proof, ARTYS PAPER HERITAGE is not responsible for any future changes or mistakes.
