Hi Everyone,

I would like to thank each and everyone of you for the help and advise given for my friend. I really do appreciate you taking the time to reply.

When She first asked me about the invites I said I couldn't help as hadn't done any myself but I know some people that do and that I would ask on the forum and you ladies have come up trumps again.

Your help and advise will be invaluable THANK YOU

Arlene

Hi Arlene I was looking at a website yesterday and the lady has price ranges a. b, c. and d. Thought it was a good idea as the bride could see what is in her price range. She also had a selection of insert styles to choose from. The best advice I've seen was from the forum (usually is) is tokeep the design simple yet elegant. this way you don't get bogged down with 70 or so fussy designs. Oh and another tip make sure she can get enough of the bare materials to finish the job, theres...

Hi Sarah,

Thank you so much for replying and that is an excellent suggestion. I will pass your suggestions on to my friend. As neither of us has done anything like this before we hadn't got a clue where to start, and now she has - BRILLIANT.

Thanks again

Arlene

Hi

I am in the process of doing some wedding invites. I made 3 samples and then got them to pick which one they liked the best (saying that they could mix n match bits if they wanted). I then priced up the cost of materials and then added on 50p per card for doing it.

It may be worthwhile for your friend to speak with the bride and groom regarding what they would like on the invite (e.g any colour scheme planned for the wedding, favorite flower, traditional or modern...

I would make a few samples up and that way you can discuss with the Bride what she is looking for - maybe take pictures of ones that could be made up - that saves time - I made a book once with 20 odd samples and the last one I did for fun with a lot of work on it and you guessed it she picked that one
Then you can either have a fixed price or the way I prefer is to set your fee and add all the ingredients at cost price that way the Bride gets the embellishments she wants and you get a...

Morning June,

Thank you for replying to my request for help for my friend. Fortunately she has the Rob Adams Cd but the info that she wants is, does she do samples, how do you cost them etc?

She would love to do this order but obviously is very nervous and doesn't want to end working for nothing or going about it the wrong way, I said to her I will post on the forum as they are so helpful, but alas you are the only one that took the time to reply, and I am truely...

Hi, Could anyone give me some advice that I can pass on to my friend. She has been asked to make wedding invitaions and as she has never done them before she doesn't know how to go about it.

Can anyone point her in the right direction please, re:- making samples, pricing the goods used, price to charge etc. She has been a cardmaker for approx 3yrs but has never been asked for anything like this and she would love to have a go, so any help would be really appreciated.
