I’d like to use your services--what's the next step? Please send me an e-mail (contact information at the bottom of this page) and we'll set everything up! In your e-mail, please include the following information (as available):

• Number of invitations (please be certain this is the number of invitations—not the number of individual guests)
• Your selected writing style
• Date on which you’d like to mail out your invitations
• Your wedding/event date
• Type of envelopes (inner & outer – or outer only).
• Are you local to the Raleigh area? Or will your envelopes be shipped?

How long do you take to complete a job? I generally require 2 days per 100 invitations for "fancy script" & "contempo", and 3-4 days per 100 invitations for the other styles. The amount of notice I require before I can begin a new job depends entirely upon the workload I have on my schedule - so please contact me with the requested information (see above) and I will respond quickly.

What about "extra envelopes"? Extra envelopes are very important! Please provide approximately 10% extra envelopes. (Six percent extra is the minimum that I am able to accept.)

What format is best for my address list? Address lists should be typed in label format (one or two columns per page is ideal). Please do not submit your list in spreadsheet format. It is very difficult to gauge the best placement of an address on an envelope when it is presented horizontally across a spreadsheet. However, if your guest list is in a spreadsheet – do not fear! Depending upon your software, the address data in some spreadsheets can be printed out in label format via the “mail merge” program. If you’re not sure if your address list is in an acceptable format, please email me and I’ll be happy to take a look. And don’t forget to proofread your list carefully!

What do I need to bring to the drop-off appointment? Please bring your envelopes and printed guest list. If you prefer, you can email the guest list to me ahead of time (as an attachment) and I’ll be happy to print it out before your appointment. You do not need to bring the actual invitations and inserts. However, if you’d like to bring a sample, I’ll be happy to show you the proper way to stuff your envelopes. I truly enjoy seeing the actual invitations of my clients so that I can get a sense of their personal style and envision the final product: a beautiful invitation enclosed in a beautifully-addressed envelope!
