Nitty Gritty on Custom Invite Pricing

This is just, FYI. I will guide you through the entire process.

contact frenettik

Know your ideal budget ($1000.00 minimum), recipient count & design ideas. A common mistake is to quote your total guest count vs. invite count.

meeting or emails

We will create a design & choose supplies; by perusing portfolios & paper samples.

I will email an estimate (.pdf) based on your final design choices, for you to approve & review.

I will begin formatting the text, once I receive a mock-up deposit (min. deposit will be based on estimated formatting fees & any specialty supplies that need to be ordered, to create the mock-up). All but $10 (per mock-up, if there are revisions or versions) is applied to the final balance due, if a quantity order is placed.

Receive the mock-up, submit any last (tiny) changes via. email then give your final: count, design & text proof approval for full-production. At this time, you will be emailed an updated final invoice for payment in full. Once payment has been received, frenettik may no longer be held responsible for any errors & any adt'l changes are the $ responsibility of the client.

Payment of balance (including shipping fees for final product & supplies delivery) is due, prior to full-production or ordering of supplies in quantity.

addressing service

Email your final edited .xls address list, if you are having me mail merge & computer print your guest list on envelopes or labels, in a matching font.

Nitty Gritty on Custom Invite Pricing
In general ... custom invite sets with: rsvp post/card, direction card, invite & mailing envelope run $10+ per set. But, it truly depends on your choice of: design, supplies, addressing service, final count etc... Let me know your ideas & budget; I will create an estimate & design that will work for you. $1000.00 minimum on custom orders; you will receive an estimate prior to hire.
Your invitation's design will have a labor pricing worksheet associated with it. On this worksheet, each task for the construction & assembly of the invitation is itemized into a cost-per action; as well as showing the estimated one-time hourly fees for formatting the text sheets.
If you were to make any design change, there would be a different labor or formatting cost associated with it on the pricing worksheet (= current $ wksht. as of 01/08). This pricing system was created so you could use the worksheet as a guide for making design choices to fit within your budget.
The cost for supplies have not been included in the labor & formatting fees. Each client has control over which supplies are purchased & will be billed for the supplies purchased to fulfill the order (supplies costs avg. 30% over labor & formatting fees).
This is just, FYI. I will guide you through the entire process.
