Our clients love being a #blushbride because it includes a one-on-one personalized design experience that is unique to each bride and groom. Sometimes, though, a one-of-a-kind design isn’t in the budget. Rather than having something created from scratch, semi-custom wedding invitations are a better investment. Why? The core of the design is already there, giving you the flexibility to modify colors, wording, fonts and motifs.
Why Choose a Semi Custom Design?
They’re less expensive
No matter who you choose to work with, I feel confident saying that choosing a semi-custom wedding invitation suite will be less expensive than going the custom route. The time involved for the designer (myself included!) is much less and thus, pricing is reflective.
I do not charge a design fee for semi-collection designs. You’re welcome to change wording, fonts, colors and design motifs and it’s all inclusive! My custom design fee starts at $240 and increases from there — so going the collection route does save quite a big if you’re looking to hang on to some moolah for your honeymoon!
They’re quicker
An added bonus of semi-custom wedding invitations is that the turnaround time is much, much quicker than custom invites. Because of the time involved and the labor intensive process, custom invitation suites can take me three to four months to design. While its absolutely worth the wait, a semi-custom design can be turned around in a matter of days… so if you’re in a major time crunch, a semi-custom suite is definitely for you!
Are Semi Custom Wedding Invitations Right for You?
A lot of couples see something they like and don’t see any reason to make a change. I totally get that, and for that reason alone, semi-custom invitations are for you! If you’ve found something you love why complicate a good thing?
