HOW IT WORKS:
ALLYSON WILL GUIDE YOU ON THE JOURNEY…
01/Request a
Custom Quote
Kindly fill out our inquiry form found here. The more information you are able to share the better! Once received, we will check availability, review your requirements, and promptly provide a personalized proposal.
02/Review Proposal
& Consultation
We will work with you to ensure your proposal fits all of your needs. If you need to chat about anything, no sweat, we are happy to hop on a call to answer any questions. Once you are satisfied with what you see, sign on the dotted line to secure your spot!
03/Join a Discovery Call
& Work Session
Our favorite meeting! We’ll share inspiration and establish guardrails with you before designing anything to ensure we’re all on the same page. We want to know everything about your wedding — no detail is too small!
04/Design, Refine,
& Visualize
The best part — seeing all your ideas come to life! We'll interpret your vision into two suites. Tell us what you love, what you love a little less, and what you can't live without! We'll also ensure your content is accurate and informs your guests of everything they need to know.
05/Approval &
Printing
Now that everything is perfect, we just need your final approval! Once the design is everything you dreamed of and spell check caught every typo, we will send the files off to our trusted printer, and they will be back in our hands in no time. The wait is worth it, we promise!
THE MEGANS WILL TURN DREAMS INTO REALITY!
06/Assembly &
Mailing
Are you itching to assemble your own invites? No problem! We'll ship your invitation pieces along with detailed assembly and mailing instructions. If assembly is not your jam, we can ensure every knot is tied and envelope is sealed while you sit back and relax. Then off to the post office we go!
