Why do I want to design my own invitations? |
|
When you design your own invitations, you are guaranteed that
no one else, anywhere, will have the invitation you have designed.
When you purchase invitations elsewhere, you will undoubtedly
find an invitation you love but eventually someone else will choose
the same invitation. The only difference will be the details.
|
 |
Can I incorporate a design, logo, or motif that I have into my invitations?
|
|
Yes! That’s what makes this so exciting! If you have something
that your
friends and family relate to you than you can incorporate it into
all of your
paper products. It’s the ultimate in custom designing!
|
 |
What
is the design process: |
|
I will meet with you for a free one-hour consultation. We will
discuss
what you’d like your invitations to say about you, your
relationship and
your upcoming marriage. I then design two or three samples. We
meet
again and that’s when we “tweak” them to narrow
the design down to
what you like and finally come to exactly the invitation you want
to speak
of your wedding day.
|
 |
Are
your invitations embossed? |
|
No. Being a Wedding Coordinator myself and budget being a major
concern for clients, flat printing is much for budget friendly.
The paper
used along with your design will make the desired statement.
|
 |
Is
there a minimum number I have to purchase? |
|
No. When you place your order with me, you only purchase the number
you are planning to mail out. If you are planning to send “173”
invitations, that’s all you order from me. No lots of 25
or 50. Although I do suggest you increase that number by 5-10.
There is inevitably someone who
wasn’t included in the initial guest list as well as having
one for your memory book!
|
 |
Will
you address the envelopes for me? |
|
Yes! Yes! Included in all of my invitations is the printing of
the exterior envelopes. If you send me an Excel spreadsheet with
your guest list, I will print all your envelopes at no
additional cost. This not only takes the task of handwriting
them all off your plate but it completes the invitation ensemble
with the same font start to finish.
|
 |
Do
you mail the invitations? |
|
Absolutely! I will be more than happy to assemble and mail your
invitations for you. The cost of the postage will be added to
your remaining balance.
|
 |
What
is your delivery time? |
|
If time is an issue, because I do it all, delivery can be as soon
as necessary.
Typically once the design is created delivery takes about 4-6
weeks.
|
 |
Do you do other printing? |
|
Yes! I love to follow the design creating a complete ensemble.
Beginning with the Save the Date Magnet
to the Wedding Invitation onto the
Ceremony Programs. Then when your
guests arrive at your reception the design continues with the
Escort Cards and finally when your
guests sit down to dinner the design is also seen on the Table
Markers and Menu Cards. If
you would like, we can also incorporate your design into the Favors.
THE SKY IS THE LIMIT!!!

time in your life.

How can Valerie help me with my wedding? |
|
Everything I do is custom designed to each clients needs. I can
help you as little or as much as you’d like.
|
 |
I've heard wedding coordinators are expensive and for people with
large budgets. Is that right? |
|
NO! Consider my services as “insurance”, “security”
and most importantly “peace of mind”. Recently I had
a Mother of the Bride nickname me “Peace”. She said
that as soon as we began working together and she realized how
much help I was that it gave her Peace of Mind. What a compliment!
|
 |
Why
should I hire Save the Date with Valerie? |
|
When you hire me you get ME. I answer your phone call, not someone
you don’t know and have no personal relationship with. Communication
is important to me so I make it a priority. I am able to check
email wherever I am and respond quickly. I am also a team player.
I am very aware of how necessary it is for all the vendors to
work well together in order to pull every detail together and
make your day what you’ve envisioned. I do this because
I love to do it. It’s not just a job or a business to me.
Your interests are my interests.
|
 |
What
will you do for me? |
|
You can be sure that I will champion for you. Because life continues
to move on while you’re planning for the biggest day in
your life and your job requires your full attention, I will be
there to take care of the things you don’t have time to
plan and follow up on. I will help determine which vendors are
right for you and your budget. Speaking of budget, I will work
hard to keep you within your budget while ensuring you get what
you want. If you have difficult family dynamics or need advise
on religious issues, I’m there to help you figure those
out. You may have already planned most of the day but you need
me to come in and tighten the details and see that things run
smoothly. Many brides have family and friends who have offered
their services and help BUT you really want those friends and
family to attend your wedding not work it. That’s what I
do. I am your eyes, ears, sounding board, and right hand.
