The custom process that Syd Design offers is very simple.
- We meet or talk over phone/email so we can get a sense of your event details and your design style.
- Syd creates around 10 sample invitations just for you.
- From there, we continue to make changes to reflect every desired detail.
- Once there is a set design, I will send a final sample to you for approval. Upon approval, your invitations are assembled and ready for stuffing!
Please allow at around 8-12 weeks before you would like the invitations sent out to go through our custom process.
We fill up quickly, so earlier is better!
Pricing
Syd Design is proud to offer services for a large range of budgets. Because all invitations are custom, we are able to work within your budget during the design process or create a set of samples that range in price. I like to be upfront about all prices. Below is a breakdown of how each piece is priced. There are no extra charges for our consultation or meetings along the way!
- Invitations ~ The invitation piece starts at $2.00 for a basic "one-sheet" invite on heavy textured cardstock. The price increases at each additional embellishment (ribbon, embossing, etc.) or paper added to the design. The trendy pocketfold styles range in price from $6 to $9 each. There is a full range of options between $2 and $9, which includes some other "pocket" options.
- Inserts ~ 35 cents each for standard-sized inserts (4.25" x 5.5") or smaller. Double-sided inserts are 45 cents each.
- Envelopes ~ Envelopes range from 35 cents to 75 cents each depending on the style and thickness you prefer. Most often, brides decide to match the envelopes to the invitation paper, which is around 35 cents each, although upgrades such as double envelopes and lined envelopes are available too.
- Tax ~ The standard Michigan State sales tax (6%) will be added to all materials except envelopes.
- Shipping ~ I will usually meet with brides and hand deliver completed items. In some cases shipping is necessary to brides not in the Western Michigan area. I do my best to find the cheapest and easiest way to ship items, and will charge only for the price of shipping. There is no "handling" fee.
