Helpful Information

	Many couples would like an invitation that reflects their own unique style, personalities or special theme. Here at Paper Magic we do our own design and production in house so custom designs are possible. Time Frame It is recommended that you allow at least 3-4 weeks development time when requesting a custom design. This is additional to production time of 1.5-2weeks. Click here for custom design pricing Click here the gallery of custom designs Custom design process and info: Stage 1: Brainstorm it! To get you started, think about the size and style would you like eg: A flat single layer card or something that folds. If you are unsure, take a look around the invitation pages and see if anything appeals to you. We can start of with a base of size, style, colour and card type and then work in your ideas, colours and/or theme. Once we have an idea of what you would like done a pricing outline will be emailed to you. If you would like to proceed with having Paper Magic help you with your wedding stationery let us know and an invoice will be emailed to you to pay a $50.00 deposit. This is to be paid before design work commences. The next step is to talk over all aspects of design, colour and style and develop a design brief for us to follow and try and get inside your head. What colours do you love? Which do you hate? What style do you want to portray - conservative, funky, quirky? You may want to send us photos of things you love, this may not necessarily be invitations but photos  or a link to your venue, flowers or even a magazine advertisement for something totally unrelated to weddings but you just like the style or an element in it. Keep in mind that the clearer your brief and making quick decisions will help the whole process go more smoothly. Brain storming a brief can start of with an email, though often the complex nature of custom designs will require us to talk through the details with you over the phone or in person. We are happy to call a NZ land line number and evening phone consultations can be arranged. If you are overseas and need to speak to us we are on Skype, our user name is: mrsavkiwi Stage 2: Design it! Once we have a brief and your text/information we will email you a first draft in a PDF format. This may include some variations/concepts for you to choose from (typically 2-4). Custom designing often involves a lot of pushing elements around a page and seeing how it all works. What you are sent may not be everything we worked on but just what we settled on as the best versions. Stage 3: Refine it! You may think one of the concepts is just perfect as it is and if so, Great! You may see something you like but it just needs tweaking here and there. We'll put all our expertise into designing an invitation that we hope you will love. Up to three revisions are allowed for in the base custom design fee. Any enclosure cards (RSVP/Information cards) will be worked on once the invitations have been refined down to a final copy. Stage 4: Love it! Once the designing stage is complete the rest of the process is the same as for existing invitation designs:  Click here to see the Process from this point.
	Pricing - additional to production cost
	Custom Design $100.00 Creating new designs take time, so a fee to cover the labour costs will apply for the first custom design which may include two/three sets of initial digital mock ups; plus up to three revisions. Once this allowance is met additional designing time will be charged at $25.00 per half hour or part thereof. This fee also covers applying your custom design to any on the day items you may require ie place cards, seating plan etc. Any costs incurred for purchasing stock photography or sourcing images will be additional to the design fees above. This is typically $25.00 - $60.00.
	Alterations/mixing and matching of existing designs $35.00 There is usually no charge for changing basic details of an existing Paper Magic design ie most card stocks, colours as per our Standard Colours Palette and text. But to swap a pattern/graphic from one design to another design or mix and match elements from our existing designs will incur a one off fee.   Using your own photo $35.00 If you would like to supply your own photo to substitute one on an existing design or require a very simple design with your supplied photo, eg a flat card with text over the photo or on the cover of a folded card with simple black text inside.
	Custom Designs Gallery This customer liked the Swatch Book concept but wanted a compass design that worked in their names and the wedding venue (The Estate, Waiheke). It also reflected that the bride is from the UK (northern hemisphere) and the Groom is from NZ (southern hemisphere). ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
	Originally the 3 Page Frangipani a 4th page tear off RSVP was added. The flax mat was photographed for the background by Paper Magic and we hand drew the Tapa design. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

	With the Fern 3 Page Square as a base this client wanted to incorporate a tussock image to go with the wedding venue. The bride sent us a link to the venue web site (Terrace Downs) and some images off the net of the type of tussock grass she wanted to give us an idea of what she envisioned. The photo used was taken by us locally especially for this client. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

	Starting with a 3 page A6 folding card this invite was inspired by the Bridal couples table decorations. On each table at the reception was a Betty Boop figure on a black and white checkered board.
