After the Design Call, you will have the option to pay the $500 fee to get a Design Proposal made. This covers the labor for Isabel creating a custom quote and design plan for your project so that you can see what we want to design and how much it’ll cost before you officially commit.

Why Am I Paying For a Proposal?

1. Quoting Custom Stationery is Complicated.

We like to say that asking “how much will X invitations cost?” is like asking “how much does it cost to build a house?” Houses range so much in price because every single doorknob can range in price. That’s why we like to create custom quotes based on what you want and need.

Quotes depend on a million factors. How many cards? What print method? How big are the cards? How thick? Want ribbons? A seal? Stamps?

We found it’s much more productive to hear what your budget range is, and based on everything we learned about your wants and needs on the Design Call, to show you our ideas and how much they’d cost.

2. You’re Paying For a Sneak Peek At Your Design

We design as we quote. So if we think of something fun, like a cutout in the shape of a locket that we’ll tie around the invitation cards, we can show you a sketch of our idea and how much it’ll cost to execute it.

We found it’s much easier to show you our ideas as we quote so you can get an idea not only of how much everything will cost, but what you’re getting for your investment.

3. You Can See the Plan Before You Commit

And hey, if you get the Design Proposal and we’re totally off on aesthetics, you’ll know we’re not a fit and you can walk away because you didn’t officially book yet! But we were still paid fairly for all the design work we did for the Proposal.
