process

Customization is a unique process.

Each individual and each event has its own personality.  We understand the process can change from one project to another.  With that in mind, we have structured the following with great flexibility.

1 Design Consultation (in person or over the phone) The first meeting is designed to give you a better idea of how we can help you, and for you to share your “vision.”  This is an opportunity to exchange ideas (Pinterest boards, photos, links), brainstorm, discuss printing & pricing options, and answer any questions you may have.  If you know exactly what you want, that’s great!  And if not, that’s great too…we can help steer you in the right direction!

2 Deposit Once you have decided to move forward with The Card Bar custom invitation design process, a deposit of $250 (applied to your final order) is due. This is to secure Nessa’s design time – she “gives her all” to all of her clients!  We accept credit cards through PayPal.

3 Designing the Invitations You will be asked to complete a form to help us better personalize your invitations (the dirty details…time, place, names, etc). Once we have your completed form, we will begin working on your designs!  We will assist you with etiquette, wording and timelines as needed. Within a week you will receive preliminary designs via email with a request for your feedback. We may go back and forth on email a few times before a the final design is complete.

4 Placing the Order  If the design looks great, an order summary will be emailed to you for final approval. Once approved, payment in full is due prior to production. Typical delivery time is 6-8 weeks from payment date. Rush delivery is available for an additional fee.

5 Delivery of Invitations  We will notify you when your invitations are ready. They will be shipped to you at the address provided or you may pick them up at The Card Bar. Often times a work address is the best option…we want to make sure you’re there to receive those gorgeous invitations!!!
