Colorful and thoughtful designs that represent YOU and give your guests the best first impression of your big day

The Custom Design Process

  • 1. Reach Out!

    Yay! Thank you for considering working with After the River! Even if you aren’t positive you want to work together, fill out my inquiry form and I’ll send you a proposal within a few days.

  • 2. Lock it Down

    Once we are both happy with the proposal, in order to officially be booked, I require the contract to be signed and the retainer fee (50% of proposal total) to be paid. We will set a project start date and will send you a more detailed questionnaire to gather all of the details for your wedding and what will be included in the suite!

  • 3. I Do My Thing

    The fun begins!! I will send you a few initial sketches (usually 1-3), based on your answers in the design questionnaire. These are rough sketches to get an idea for what you like. Once we choose a direction, I will formalize the concepts and send you initial proofs for your feedback. We’ll go back and forth until you are 100% happy with your invitation suite!

  • 4. Wrap It Up

    You will pay the remaining balance on the invoice and I will send everything to print. If you chose to pay for assembly + mailing, I’ll get this done by the right time and let you know when the invites are in the mail. You can send me stamps or I can add the cost of stamps to the final cost. Otherwise I will ship to you (you pay for shipping), and you can assemble, stuff, and stamp envelopes with your crew!
