6 Wedding Invitation Designer Lessons Part Two

4. Make a Timeline.  

I can't emphasize how important a timeframe is. Clients will be able to witness and ideally value, the design process as a result of this. By outlining each phase of the process, the customer will understand what is required of them as well as what they may anticipate from you.

The timetable and a self ink stamp helps you and your customer stay on track. Remember that most brides are unaware of or uninterested in the invitation and design process.

The chronology serves as a starting point for them to comprehend.  

5. Find Paper Vendors 

Investigate your possibilities for paper providers to whom you may turn for wholesale prices, bulk buying, and so on. Investigate both local and national vendors.

Envelopments is a nationally famous company that concentrates on letters and stationery, but you could also check with your local printers to see what stocks they have.

Many printers will gladly obtain paper samples as well as swatch books for you. Some paper brands to consider are Neenah, Mohawk, Domtar, and Wausau, to name a few of the many available. (Please keep in mind that some providers charge a fee to become a distributor of their product.) 

6. Locate a Printing Company 

This isn't about locating a printing firm (there are lots), but about choosing a high-quality and dependable printer.

I’ll be honest. Many trials and tribulations may be required before you find a solution to this one. I'd bet money that you'll have problems with the printers cutting your stock incorrectly or printing on the wrong paper, to name a few concerns.

Keep this in mind when you create your timetable, and allow for snags during the printing process.
