Consultation

Ink to Paper understands that each event and each client has their own personal ideas, objectives and budget to consider; because of this, all orders will begin with a consultation. Consultations can take place in person, over the phone or via email, whichever is more convenient and comfortable for you. The consultation allows you to freely discuss the details of the event including your vision for the event stationery. This part of the process is our opportunity to brainstorm ideas that will provide a stationery fit for your occasion. Feel free to bring diagrams, colour schemes, and pictures that can help express your vision and aid in the design process.

Once the consultation and brainstorming has been complete we can begin prototyping design styles for your event. At this time a design fee is required ($200). The design fee is non-refundable, however if you decide to order your custom stationery from Ink to Paper the fee will be credited to your order. The purpose of the design fee is to insure that your event is scheduled into our production time and affords you one to three sample invitations (mock-up’s) sent to you in PDF format through email or fax. If you decide not to order from Ink to Paper we maintain the rights to the design as well as the design fee.

Design

After you have chosen the stationery that best fits your personal and event style a Proof of Approval is signed, indicating that the type style, design, and wording are correct and a 50% deposit (minus the design fee) is collected. Once the Proof of Approval and deposit are received, we begin the production of your distinctive invitation!

Please note that design changes cannot be accommodated after production has begun.

Each piece of stationery is hand assembled at Ink to Paper and are all inspected to ensure that no detail is overlooked. On average 3-6 weeks is needed to complete an order, however production time can vary depending on the quantity ordered as well as details involved in each piece. Rush orders may be accommodated, please contact me for further information.
