Make It Your Own - All The Details
Your stationery should be unique to your story and become a keepsake for years to come. Do you have a need for a custom card? Maybe you are looking for custom invitations or announcements. We can help with that! Read on…
How do we do this?
If you've gotten this far, you definitely have a need for some custom designed stationery of some kind. (Or, you're curious and want to know "what's the catch?")
I would love to help you bring your ideas to life. So let's talk about the process a bit first. Then fill out the form at the bottom of the page and let's get started on your project!
first
Let’s talk about what you have in mind - all the details including exactly what you need, likes/dislikes, quantities and turn around time - how much time we have to make this happen.
You can base your design on one of our existing cards, or I can design something just for you. Already have a design in mind? Great! Let’s bring it to life.
If you are looking for invitations or announcements, I will work within the vision and style you have set for your day to create a personal and one-of-a-kind piece that will help build excitement for your big day.
Envelopes are included, and I always supply a 10% overage for invitations and announcements, because mistakes happen when addressing envelopes! Do you want colored envelopes? Let's pick the perfect color. Want coordinating envelope lining papers? Let's talk about that too.
Save The Date cards get the same personal treatment, and will coordinate perfectly with your entire stationery suite.

Once we determine exactly what you have in mind and settle on numbers and a delivery date, I will send you a cost estimate and client agreement, which you should read carefully to make sure we covered all of the details you had in mind.
For single cards, you will pay in full upon receipt, and I will get to work on your project.
For invitations and announcements or any other project that will have multiple finished pieces, you will send me a deposit (your deposit will be non-refundable and will be 50% of the estimated cost) and I will get to work on your project.
Next (for Single cards)
I will finish your project within 5 business days and put the finished product in the mail to you as soon as it is complete.
Shipping - Projects will be shipped via USPS. Please request expedited shipping if you need your items faster. Anchor And Inks is not responsible for loss or damage incurred by third parties during shipping, including UPS and other carriers.

And that's it. You are all set. Write your message, address the envelope, put a stamp on it and wait for the rave reviews from the recipient. Them basque in the glow of their appreciation. Well done, you deserve it!
Next (for invitations and announcements and other multiples)
I will send you a pdf proof of your project. Two rounds of revisions are included in your order so there is some room for changes. If you would like to make more revisions after those two rounds, there will be a fee of $50 per proof issued and may delay production time. Additional design time required for additional proofs will be charged at an hourly rate.
Check your proofs very carefully! Your approval signature is required before I begin any work on the full production of your project. Anchor And Inks is not responsible for any errors that appear on the final product once your signature of final approval is received. All errors present in an approved proof are the full responsibility of the client. If you would like to have the project recreated due to errors that you approved, you are responsible for all costs associated with the project's recreation and shipping.

After that (for invitations and announcements and other multiples)
You will receive an invoice for the balance due, which will include any applicable sales tax, and shipping charges. Once this invoice is paid I ship your completed project to you. Any changes to our original agreement (change in quantity, additional pieces, proofs, design time, etc.) will be reflected in that final invoice. You will be notified before I do any further work if requested changes will affect the original cost estimate. You project will not ship until the full balance is paid. We accept Visa, Mastercard, American Express and PayPal as forms of payment.
