Olive and Twig Invitations offers a design process that aims to be as simple and pleasurable as possible. Read below to find out more about the process and the most frequently asked questions.
Each project begins with an initial consultation. We will discuss your wedding or event and overall ideas by e-mail or phone. At this time, we talk about what type of invitations you are looking for. You may see an existing example from the GALLERY that you may wish to base your invitation on. Please keep in mind all ink colors, ribbons and papers can be adjusted to your particular event. You may also want to create a completely new style. The possibilities are endless.
A quote will be provided for you based on our discussion.
Before going into production there is a $50 non-refundable charge which will be credited towards your balance once your order has been placed. At this time we will discuss in detail themes, what it is you want to portray about your event, whether it be the venue, flowers, dress, time of year, etc. This will begin the production of a rough concept and also ensure / guarantee a spot in the production timeline.
You will be sent rough concepts via e-mail and we will work together until you get what it is you are looking for.
Once a rough design is agreed upon a 50% deposit for all services is due. Once your approval has been received and you have signed off on the final draft, your order will go to print. The remainder of the balance is due upon delivery of your final product.
Please allow 3-4 months for the design process to be completed.
Prices vary depending on quantity, papers, number of inserts, printing method, embellishments, etc. For a example, a quantity of 100 two layer invitations, with flat printing including a matching outer envelope, response card with matching envelope and reception card starts at $7 a set.
