Update :: Custom Stationery Design Process

A small sneak peek at the stationery we created for a recent photo shoot with Arielle Doneson Photography!

As a first step in baci's rebranding process, we're changing a few things about our Custom Stationery Design Process. Currently, each stationery suite we design is 100% unique and original to each client - no two suites are the same, nor will we ever reuse the same design for another client.  Creating something so one-of-a-kind and specific to each client's specifications takes a large amount of time and preparation - educating the clients on printing and stock options, meetings to nail down the design concept, requesting costs from various vendors to create proper estimates, actual creation of estimates, contract writing and and that's all before any creative work even begins.

In order to express to our potential clients how valuable our time is and how priceless our professional expertise and eye for design is, starting in May we will no longer be offering Free Custom Stationery Consultations as we have in the past.  Going forward, there will be an initial $50 non-refundable charge for all Custom Stationery Design jobs before we will take you on as a potential client.  This $50 fee will go towards your final costs should you choose to work with us, but it is non-refundable otherwise.

We simply hope this attracts clients who are truly serious about having something gorgeous and one-of-a-kind created especially for them as a sneak peek into their wedding day.  As always, we are happy to work within any budget, however, keep in mind that a wedding stationery suite (invitation, reception card, reply card) typically begins at a minimum of $180 for design time alone, that is not including any stock, printing, envelopes or addressing.

Very often we have people ask us for a "rough idea" of how much this or that would cost - while we would love to be able to do so, it is nearly impossibly due to the nature of our product.  Each client has different taste levels (digital printing vs. letterpress), guest counts (25 to 500) and stationery requirements (digital replying, accommodations/directions information needed, etc.) so knowing how much something costs for Custom Stationery Design off-hand is not plausible.

We have a lot of very wonderful things in store during our rebranding process and we're incredibly happy that you're all a part of it!  Thank you in advance for your patience throughout the next several months :o)
