The Process

THE OKOTA STATIONERY DESIGN EXPEREIENCE

Step 1

First, be sure to fill out the contact form so that I can confirm I have availability for your date! I’ll get right back to you and we can set up a time to chat in more detail! Hopefully you can come into my studio and look through paper samples, envelope colors, and more. The true beauty of hiring a custom stationery designer is seeing all the personalized pieces you can FEEL the quality and hand-touched elements of.

Intro & Let’s Chat

Step 2

You’ll get a proposal I’ve put together especially for you. Complete with inspiration photos, notes of things you liked when we first met, details and pricing. If you look at that and want revisions, we can do that! If you take a look and think “This girl gets me!” Then we’re all set for sending over the contract and taking care of the retainer. You’re officially on my books! 

The Proposal

Step 3

I’ll walk you through the nitty gritty of information your guests will need and proper etiquette for wedding stationery. And you’ll see how all the inspiration and mood boards on your proposal will come to life in a completely customized invitation suite designed specially for you. We can make revisions as needed until everything is PERFECT and ready to print!

Step 4

Don’t worry, we’ll handle everything! We’re working with printing companies to make sure what you’ve approved digitally is going to be just as perfect printed. We’re confirming cardstocks and ink colors, sourcing envelopes and the perfect wax for those seals you’ve been dreaming of. We’ll get the paper cuts on your behalf, stuffing those envelopes for you! By the time you receive them they simply need stamped and shipped off! YAY!

Printing & Assembly

Now that the invites are taken care of, let’s make the rest of your stationery needs cohesive so that your wedding designs from start to finish are detailed to perfection. I’m talking about your programs, seating charts, menu cards, bar signage and more… we’ll start this booking and design process very similar to your invite process — from the review of ideas and samples, all the way to our assembly for you. We can even deliver and set up on wedding day for you too! Hellooooo luxury touch.
