As their planner you have their TRUST, BUDGET, and the BIG PICTURE.
Notice, we didn't mention colors, style or theme just yet. In order to create a game plan you first need to focus on what she needs to communicate all-the-details to their guests. This may be the boring part but it's the essential starting place. This is STEP 1 in our Collections.
Let's think about one of your clients.
What is her paperie budget? You most likely determine this anyway.

What items will she need to best communicate to her guests so they DON’T call her (or you)? Save the dates, Invitations, Response Cards, Accommodations, Maps, Do you need to collect meal choices, etc.
Now that you know what they NEED in STEP 1, Now it's time to unlock your creativity and open up ALL the possibilities. This is where your swatch book comes in handy! Upgrade your clients order to showcase your clients STYLE, COLORS, and PERSONALITY.

FLAT PRINTING (DIGITAL) 4 color process using Cyan, Magenta, Yellow and Black ink; can handle any number of colors or amount of coverage photo printing; most cost effective and fastest turn-around time. **Pictured Below.
TURN AROUND TIME:
3-5 DAYS without UPGRADES
10-14 DAYS with PREMIUM or DELUXE UPGRADES
THERMOGRAPHY (RAISED INK) Offset process, ink is applied to the page using a plate/roller and a powder is dusted on top of the ink; sent through a high heat “oven” to produce a raised effect. Mimics engraving-ink is somewhat translucent; best used for darker colors (ex. light pink on ivory paper is very hard to see) 1-2 colors is most cost effective. Adds elegance without a high cost. Looks like flat printing but has a raised effect.
TURN AROUND TIME: 10-14 DAYS
HOT/FOIL STAMPING Very similar to letterpress; instead of ink applied to a plate, an opaque “foil” is stamped onto the page; very little impression on the front/back of page; works well for contrasting colors (black paper with white stamping, etc) and tone on tone colors (black paper with black stamping)works very well with metallic colors; can add either elegance or contemporary style depending on design and color combination
**Showcased below with letterpress.
TURN AROUND TIME: 10-14 DAYS
LETTERPRESS (PRESSED) Offset process using metal plates; ink is rubbed on plates and pressed into cotton paper; impression made on the back of the page; excellent for fine details and works best with 100% cotton paper saturation may slightly vary from piece to piece; adding classic elegance or vintage style depending on design.
**Showcased below with foil stamping
TURN AROUND TIME: 21-28 DAYS
