FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
WHY SHOULD WE CHOOSE to work with you OVER WEBSITES LIKE MINTED, SHUTTERFLY, ETC. or a local storefront option?
When you choose to work one-on-one with a wedding designer like myself, you’re choosing to have a pleasant, fun and stress-free process of creating your wedding stationery. You don’t need to figure out your wording, what pieces and details are needed, printing and assembling options, and more. I’m here to easily walk you through the entire process, and create a gorgeous and unique suite just for you, within your budget. Did you know online retailers and even small local shops add a significant upcharge where it’s not needed? As an one-woman-shop I don’t need to do that, and I take great pride in each and every suite that leaves my door. I also offer the highest quality paper and materials out there in the stationery world. No flimsy paper or thin envelopes here! I’m here to make things easy, and guarantee guests will open your invitations in awe when they arrive in their mailboxes.
I’m on a budget. Can I still work with Laurel Cove Creative?
Absolutely! I hear this question all the time, and my answer is always “Everyone has a budget!” The better question to ask is “What is your budget?”
I've worked with clients who have had a $3,000 budget, and those with a $500 budget, so the word budget is relative. Cost of invitations depends on a few factors, which I will gladly discuss as I get to know more about you and the details of your big day. My goal is to always stay within your budget while delivering beautiful and professional results.
It may be helpful to know that my couples generally spend somewhere between $700–$1,300 with us on their wedding invitations. I’m happy to send you a free quote… just fill in this simple form to get started.
I have no idea what I am looking for. Can you help?
Yes, it would be my pleasure! I've worked with many couples who had zero idea what they wanted when we began talking about their stationery. I specialize in creating one-of-a-kind pieces that don't exist yet, and will work with you to discover what styles and design ideas are best for you.
I already know exactly what I want and/or have seen examples online I'd like to sample from. Is this possible?
It is very common for couples to have a good idea of what they want when we begin, and that's great! You are welcome to send over any examples you may have been online or let me know what you're thinking- (Hello, Pinterest!)- and together we'll put together the perfect design for you. You’re also welcome to customize any of my previous designs you may have seen to make them work for you!
Can we work together if I'm not local to northern New Jersey?
Absolutely. With the help of the internet and the postal service, I've worked with couples all over the US and worldwide. We can discuss everything you need via email and phone, review proofs and send samples as requested. Over 85% of our clients work with us this way, and it’s very accommodating for busy schedules!
How far in advance should we contact you and start working on our invitations?
You can reach out to me as early as you’d like! I recommend around 6-12 months before your event, and 4 months at the very least. Although, I've been known to turn invitations around in a week when an emergency arises!
How does payment work?
I offer multiple payment options including all major credit cards. Invoices are securely paid online through Quickbooks invoicing or can be paid via check. We will discuss what works best for you. In most cases a small deposit is required to book your event in my schedule. I only take a certain amount of weddings each month of the year, so reach out today for more information.
