in THE STUDIO
I have a batch of seriously amazing clients this year. From fun wedding styles to unique wedding locales, I’m eager to create some totally fun, “outside-the-box” custom pieces for each event. I love that these creative opportunities are on my plate.
A designer always loves a challenge. =)
With that said, it goes without saying that this is my busiest year yet. That is accompanied by a lot of frequently asked questions. So, I thought what better way to get the info out there than to blog about it? Here are the most common questions I get from current and potential clients….
DO YOU TAKE WALK-INS?
At this time, we only meet with clients by appointment only. Our office space in Carmel is only for consultations, as we spend the majority of our time in our home-based production studio.

CAN I CALL YOU WITH MY DESIGN QUESTIONS & EDITS, INSTEAD OF EMAILING THEM TO YOU?
We ask that you submit all questions & design requests via email, to ensure we have them all properly documented & responded to in a timely manner. We spend most of our work days {and nights} in the production studio. So, the majority of our time is dedicated to printing, assembly, shipping, and {obviously} designing. These pretty invitations just don’t fall from the sky, read to ship. =)

While we would love to chat with you on the phone, our spare time to do so is limited. We sincerely hope you understand.
DO YOU TAKE RUSH ORDERS?
At this time, we do not. While we did for a short time in the past, we quickly learned it greatly detracted from the focus on our other clients & throws a wrench into our {already tight} production schedule.

YOU MENTIONED AN ESTIMATED PRODUCTION TIME OF FOUR WEEKS – WHY DOES IT TAKE SO LONG TO PRINT MY INVITATION ORDER?
Custom invitations are just that – custom. All materials are special-order, all items are printed and cut in-house, and all pieces are assembled by hand. We also spend time quality checking your order, to ensure all quantities and details are correct. It’s a lengthy process! =)

I WANT TO MAIL MY INVITES OUT THREE MONTHS BEFORE THE WEDDING. IS THAT TOO EARLY?
Honestly? Yes. Invitations should ideally be mailed 7-8 weeks before your wedding date. For weddings during a holiday weekend or a destination wedding, ten weeks prior is acceptable. Anything sent to guests earlier than that should be a save-the-date card. You don’t want them to set it aside & forget to RSVP altogether, because it’s too early and they don’t know what their family’s schedule looks like.

HOW MANY INVITATIONS SHOULD I ORDER?
We recommend keeping 10-15 extras on-hand, on top of your final household count. You never know who might have been overlooked, or if you parents are going to keep adding to the guest list. It’s better to have too many than not enough!

I’m a country girl, small business owner, wife, mother of three, and a proud alumna of Purdue University (Boiler Up!).
Wondering what life is like for a busy mom with a graphic design & laser cutting business? My days are filled with pretty paper, blissful brides, half-finished sketchbooks, half-eaten lunches, and lots of cuddling with my little ones. I look forward to sharing with you all of life's fun happenings (both in & out of the studio) here on the blog!
