Full-Service Invitation Design means entrusting me with all aspects of your invitations, eliminating numerous stresses from your wedding to-do list. My custom invitation design packages encompass:

- Full-service design and assembly (over 50+ hours)
- Custom-sourced sample paper (sent during your design period)
- 2 keepsake sets featuring curated vintage stamps
- USPS stamp sourcing
- Mailing of invitations and complimentary shipping of extras

Note: Most minimal illustrations and maps are included; additional fees may apply for certain designs.

What does “Full-Service” mean?

BACK

I encourage couples interested in working with me to reach out and secure my availability for your invitations and day-of stationery as soon as you have your date and venue finalized. I typically book couples between 8-12 months before their event date and finalize designs just before your production periods.

When should I book with you?

BACK

Yes!
Designs can be changed as long as no materials have been purchased or design time accrued. 
When you book with me, you’re reserving my services and securing my dedicated time for creating your stationery. At the time of booking, we'll discuss your designs (I'll even provide rough mock-ups) to assist in scheduling and organizing the necessary time for your stationery. With new ideas and inspiration constantly evolving, feel free to reach out if you wish to explore new concepts or ideas for your stationery after the booking process.

Can I change my design after booking?

BACK

The timeline I recommend and follow for booking all my couples is as follows:

Invitations: 3 months before 
Many vendors, including myself, typically require the final headcount about a month before the wedding day. Mailing your invitations 3 months before provides ample time for mailing and responses. Additionally, this timeline grants you the opportunity to follow up with any late responders and create your seating chart comfortably. It leaves you with more breathing room to cherish the last few months leading up to your wedding without feeling rushed.

Save the Dates: 9 months before 
I recommend mailing your Save the Dates 9 months prior to your wedding date. However, for destination weddings or if the majority of your guests will need to travel, it's ideal to send them up to 12 months in advance. Keeping in mind, the purpose of sending a Save the Date is to ensure your guests have ample time to plan their travel arrangements for your special day.

When should I mail my invitations and save the dates?

BACK

When designing your invitations, I will provide you with a link to our shared Google sheet. You can easily import or directly add all the necessary guest information into this document.

Please note that I exclusively utilize this method for receiving guest lists. I no longer accept other file formats or documents, as this approach has proven to be the most dependable for ensuring consistent and accurate information throughout our design process.


How do I submit my guest list to you?

BACK

The cost of postage is not included within your invitation package. 

However, as part of my Full-Service Invitation design, I offer USPS stamp sourcing. This includes selecting the suitable stamps for your invitation suite based on its weight, shape, and theme. Once you approve the suggested stamps, I'll purchase them on your behalf directly from USPS and the associated cost will be added to your final invoice.



Is postage included in my invitation package?

BACK

I typically ship all day-of stationery items 10-12 days before your event, ensuring you receive them during the week leading up to your wedding.


When can I expect to receive my day-of stationery?

BACK

During the initial years of my business, I provided both tabletop and large event signage services—an era of my creative studio that holds a special place in my heart. However, beginning in 2024, I've focused on handcrafted stationery services. 
When possible, I'm always happy to suggest reputable signage vendors or explore collaboration with your chosen signage vendor to ensure a cohesive, seamless design for your event!

Do you offer signage?

BACK

I do! I love networking with all vendors both within and beyond the wedding community. Over the years, I’ve had the pleasure of meeting many incredibly talented professionals and love to recommend them to you! Feel free to email me directly at danagoffigan.cs@gmail.com with any vendor related questions.

Additionally, I have a small group of preferred vendors. When you team up with them, you get access to exclusive perks and special services just by working alongside one of my favorite partners!


Do you recommend other vendors or have preferred vendors?

BACK

Unfortunately, I do not provide print-only services as my studio is dedicated exclusively to crafting my own designs. I recommend reaching out to a local or online printer who can assist in bringing your creative designs to life!

I created this in Canva/Adobe, can you print it for me?

BACK

For invitation clients:  We're official after your design fee payment (non-refundable and non-transferable) and a signature on our Stationery Agreement. 

The remaining payments are divided equally for each project (Save the Dates, Invitations and Day of Details) and due:
      + When we start your final designs:
          - Save the Dates (11+ months before wedding)
          - Invitations (5 months before wedding)
          - Day of Details (2 months before wedding)
     + With your final information - 1 month before each project's deadline.

For day-of stationery: Invoices are divided into 3 equal payments. We're official after your first payment is made and a signature on our Stationery Agreement!

Please note that goods will not be shipped until your final invoice has been settled.


What is your payment schedule?

BACK

All information pertinent to creating your designs (including guest lists and addresses) is due 1 month prior to your mailing/shipping date and considered final at the time it is submitted. 
For quick reference on when your final details are due to me:
Save the Dates - 10 months before
Invitations - 4 months before
Day of - 4-6 weeks before

When is my final information due?

BACK

To ensure satisfaction, you'll always receive digital mock-ups or proofs of our projects for your approval before proceeding with any raw materials. Following the initial proof, I provide 2 rounds of revisions for minor edits. Any subsequent revisions or significant design changes may incur additional fees.

Should revisions be requested after the proofs have been approved and printed, the revised stationery will require repurchasing and reprinting.

Proof Revisions 

BACK

I will consider rush orders when my schedule permits! Please reach out to me ASAP to see if I can accommodate your deadline.

Additional fees may apply to rush orders.

Do you accept rush orders?

BACK

Legally, I cannot replicate another artist's work. Professionally, it goes against my principles to do so.

I love seeing what’s inspiring you and only utilize pictures and mood boards as tools to communicate your style preferences in order to create a one-of-a-kind design that you will love. 



I love this design! This is exactly what I want, can you make this for me?

BACK

Due to the customization of my designs, I do not accept any returns of goods. If you are unsatisfied with your stationery, please reach out to me right away to see how I can best help you. Your satisfaction is my top priority!



Returns

BACK

In the unfortunate event that you’d like to cancel our booking, please note that I do not provide refunds or accept returns. However, with sufficient cancellation notice and before any materials are purchased or design time is incurred, I am willing to refund any payments made beyond your non-refundable deposit.
