2. Payments and Due Dates: Full payment for the stationery a month in advance of my work commencing, then approx one month* to receive the goods – example: Planned time to send out the invitations 25rd of March – 23rd of January full payment, 23rd of February final proofs signed and time to start filling the order – 23rd of March* order completed ready to pick up/delivery.

EVERYTHING ELSE EXPLAINED
TRELLO BOARD
So what is the Trello board?
Trello is a list of lists filled with cards used by me to help keep everything organised in one place. Every client of mine has its own board, and it’s completely private. You can add files there and photos and write a to-do list.
Why Do I use it?
Because it keeps me organised and of course it keeps you updated.
I don’t know how to use it?
The only thing you would have to do is upload the app. Once I set your board, I will forward the link to you, automatically taking you to the app store. It is completely free.
You can comment, move things around, create a to-do list for yourself, and upload pictures and ideas. Of course, if this is something you are interested in, If not, you can keep it to check the progress.
CHOOSING DESIGN, YOU WILL HAVE TWO OPTIONS:
- BESPOKE SERVICE
Bespoke service starts from scratch.
It is ideal for couples who have their idea of the designs they want.
You will have a chance to choose different paper textures, shapes, printing techniques and accessories. Fonts, layout, design — everything fully personalised to your desire.
The fee starts from £50, and it depends on the complexity.
- HOUSE COLLECTIONS
Checking the PROOF
Please note that I will work with you until you are 100% happy and then send the proof for you to sign. It is mainly to catch any spelling mistakes and to give you an idea of the final product and how it will look.
Please note that after signing the proof, you agree that the file has no mistakes and is ready to be sent to the plate makers to be made. If there are any mistakes discovered after that, this will be liable to you.
If there is anything else you are unsure of, please send me a message. I would love to help.
