ABOUT YOUR DESIGNER
I pride myself on being 100% self-taught after finding a passion for graphic design and more specifically, invitation design. It takes a tremendous amount of work to completely dive head first into an unknown territory, but I am SO glad I did. In just the past year, I have worked with over 50 couples designing their wedding invitations and day-of stationery. My client reviews speak for themselves and I am so proud to say I have yet to have an unhappy client since starting this journey in 2018. The most important piece of this business to me is my customer service & I know you'll see what I'm talking about once we start working together!
"I can’t even begin to express how much I love our invitation suite and the process of working with Julia. She made the experience incredibly enjoyable and a breeze. Julia is so kind and offers wonderful customer service."
Step 1: Booking
To start the process, complete the form below to receive a custom pricing proposal. Once you review the pricing proposal, in order to officially reserve your slot on my design calendar, I require a signed contract and a 50% retainer of the invoice. Once you are booked, I will reach out approximately 6-8 months before your wedding date to get started!
Step 2: Gathering Details
When it is time to get the process started, I will reach out to you to collect your wedding details that I'll need for the invitations. You'll be required to fill out a questionnaire that will ask you several questions about you and your partner, your wedding day, and your inspiration
Step 3: Mood Board & Sketches
Based on your information and invitation inspiration, I will create a mood board and sketch of your invitation suite for your review. The mood board will include a color palette, design elements, inspiration photos, and your initial sketch. You will leave all of your feedback on the mood board of things you like/love/hate. I will make necessary edits and begin designing the digital proof!
Step 4: Design Process
The design process is composed of several digital proofs of your invitation suite. The digital proofs are realistic and really give you an accurate look at what your invitations will look like once printed. You will have UNLIMITED proofs to ensure that your invitations look the exact way you want them to! Every proof gives you the opportunity to leave your feedback and request changes. We will go back and forth with this process until everything looks perfect to you!
Step 5: Printing & Production
Once you approve your design for printing, I will send them to my printing company. Printing takes approximately 3-5 days to be complete. During this time I will be printing your envelopes and assembling any add-ons that you ordered.
Step 6: Shipping & Assembly
I ship your invitations to you unassembled, meaning you will need to stuff the envelopes and apply postage. I will provide you with instructions and a sample suite to see how everything should look before sending out. If you would prefer I do this step for you, this can be added on in the initial proposal or anytime throughout the process.
The Investment
The minimum price for custom invitations is $600.00. The average Julia Kay Calligraphy couple spends $1,300.00 for an invitation card, details card, rsvp card, outer guest envelope, rsvp return envelope, and all envelope address printing.
