When I was getting married in 2014, I was contacted via email to tell me I “won” a $100 gift certificate to a bridal invitation store. Excitedly, I quickly made an appointment. When my husband and I got to the shop, we were shocked to learn that there was a $300 minimum. Oh, and that somehow didn't include the amount we “won” so our total still had to come to $300. After politely looking at and pi
cking out cardstocks and shiny bows and ribbons galore, our 50 custom invitations and RSVP cards were quoted at more than $600. I went home and found plenty of resources to make my cards myself, but it wasn't easy. I had to learn the software, make sure all the dates and times were correct, figure out how to use the correct language, and then wait to see if our order was anything like what I thought it would be. It added stress to my wedding that I didn't need. If I knew someone like myself, an affordable design helper, I certainly would have gladly hired the assistance. My pricing structure is simple. For whatever platform we use (Shutterfly, Flicker, Zazzle, etc.), whatever your charge totals, we will just add 25% for my services. I'll also give you 3 free design changes once you see the finished product. Since my time is money, beyond 3 changes, I charge an extra 5% of the total project per change that you request. I want it to be perfect, just like you do! So I'm happy to make as changes as you need to get it just the way you want it! Please also feel free to contact me about custom jobs. I can certainly quote you if you have something in mind that's extra-special!
