We’ve been told by our clients that working with us is, fun and collaborative. They feel listened to and are excited by the results because of our ability to capture their vision and execute it using high-quality products and printing methods. Have you ever experienced a client squealing with delight when they see your design? We have, and we live for it.

Every project is different, that’s why we love this job! We follow a very simple design process and keep you informed along the way. Our process is comprised of 4 steps:

1. Discover: During this phase, we discuss your vision, collect inspiration, pull samples, and brainstorm with you about the feeling you want your wedding stationery to convey.

2. Define: After we’ve collected inspiration, samples and had those in-depth conversations with you, Printerette will draft documents outlining the design strategy, deliverables, printing methods, quantities, timeline, and fees.

3. Design: Once all the business details have been confirmed, Printerette begins designing concepts based on the creative direction we’ve agreed on. The design process is very involved and may include illustrating, painting, lettering, typesetting, and composing layouts for you to review.

4. Deliver: Once we have landed on concepts that we think meet the mark, we put together a digital presentation with layouts and specs and schedule a creative review so we can show you the work and discuss your feedback. Our standard review cadence is 3 rounds of design, with the first being a meeting and the last two over email. Once you review and approve the digital proofs, we prepare the designs for production and send them to print. We manage the printing process, so all you have to worry about is when they will be delivered to your door.

Absolutely. Tell us what look you are trying to achieve and we will mail you samples. Even better though, schedule an appointment to come to the studio and look through all of our samples in person.

We like to spend as much time as possible designing the look and feel so it’s just right. From design to delivery, it’s best to plan a minimum of 4 months. We can work faster, however, we may have to add rush fees.

Unfortunately, we’re unable to create designs before we sign an agreement and collect a deposit. The design part of the process is where most of your investment is going. We have a process that we follow to provide transparency but the value of working with us is the collaboration to get to your desired result. A pro tip is to make sure you look through our portfolio to get a sense of our style and design aesthetics. This will help you understand if we are the right designer for you.

We’re seeing couples mail their invitations 6-8 weeks prior to the event. If it’s a destination wedding, you may want to add more time, especially if you didn’t send save the dates.

Absolutely. Creating a cohesive design experience with signage, place cards, menus, programs, and table numbers is a great way to extend on the creative we design for your stationery. Having these elements designed together really elevates your event and makes your guests feel extra special. And don’t forget the Thank You notes!
