1. We Talk.

In person or on the phone, we discuss the dreams you have for your special event. We determine your style, colors, motifs and budget.

After translating our conversation into visual ideas, I will present some custom invitations to consider. We will discuss your reactions to the samples and fine tune a design that you feel is perfect.

3. We Detail.

Once you have selected a design, we attend to the details. A quantity of invitations to be ordered is established. I can address envelopes with "computer calligraphy" or we can arrange to send the envelopes to a calligraphy artist. Specifics are confirmed: reply dates, venue directions, Hebrew names, guest addresses and invitation verbiage. Text proofs are generated for approval. A final sample is delivered.

4. We Manufacture.

Each invitation is hand made with exacting standards. Depending on the complexity, this can take up to 6 weeks or as little as 2 weeks to achieve.

5. We Share The Joy.

Your invitations are delivered at least 8 weeks in advance of your event completely ready to be mailed.

6. What is Included?

A basic custom invitation set includes: the main invitation, reply card, direction card, personally designed papers and monogram, address plaques and guest addressing if you provide the list in Microsoft Excel.

7. Additional Items to Consider.

...Thank You Note Cards...Service Programs...Place Cards...Menus...Napkin Rings...Party Favor Artwork Preparation... If you order additional items with your initial invitation order, I am able to pass along the discount I receive for ordering materials in larger quantity. Ordering items at a later date will most likely increase the pricing.
