Wedding Invitation Suite Process & Timeline

1. Look around the website and decide if Macon York Press is a good fit for your design aesthetic and budget (Wedding Suite minimum is $1250).

2. Think about what pieces you may need for your wedding. The standard minimum is usually an Invitation and Reply Card. Check out Offerings page to get some ideas flowing.

3. Fill out the Wedding Suite Inquiry. This gives me information about your vision and project.

4. I will send you an email to schedule a phone call after receiving your inquiry (please allow up to a week). This gives you an opportunity to share more about your vision. I will explain more about my process of working together. We both can ask questions and clarify any confusion. I’ll send over a written estimate that outlines all the specs of the project, design notes, and a projected timeline.

5. If you choose to move forward, I will send an invoice for a 50% non-refundable deposit. If you don't have a firm guest count yet, that's fine. I can still begin designing based on a good guess and adjust your balance as needed.

6. Submit payment. You can pay the invoice online with a bank draft, mail a check, or use Venmo or PayPal. Credit cards are strongly discouraged.

7. Submit the wording you'd like on the pieces. Please begin working on this after submitting your Wedding Suite Inquiry. This is required for me to begin working on the Wedding Invitation.

8. I begin designing your suite. I start with the Invitation (or the Save the Date when applicable). I will email you a digital PDF that includes 2-5 basic concepts.

9. You send written feedback. I provide 2 rounds of concept revisions, and then 2 rounds of fine-tuning.

10. I design the rest of the suite. This process usually moves quickly since I have established a strong design direction.

11. The remaining balance is due once the entire suite is approved OR three weeks before your final deadline (whichever comes first). I will send an invoice and this must be paid in full before we order your custom polymer plates for printing.

12. You officially approve the entire suite and give me the go-ahead to move your project into production.

13. Time for the letterpress fun! Please allow three weeks for this process.

14. The project ships! Standard shipping costs for USPS Priority are included. Rush shipping is available at an added cost.

The process is truly a collaboration. Clear communication and setting expectations are a top priority.
