-Design Steps-

The following steps outline the general process of working with Red Ladder Design.  
From start to finish (Consultation-Delivery) this process generally takes 2 1/2-3 weeks. Please plan accordingly.

Step 1: Consultation
Setting up a consultation is the first step of the design process with Red Ladder Design. Because all my design work is completely custom to the individual that I am working with, discussing the details is vital to the process. The consultation is the place where we discuss colors, layout, style, fonts, and personality. Consultations can be done in person, over the telephone, or through e-mail. 


Step 2: Deposit and Design
Before I am able to start any actual designs for your wedding announcements, I need a $50 design deposit. As soon as this deposit has been made I will get right to work designing your announcements according to the things we discussed in your consultation! 


Step 3: First Proofs
During the first proof process I will create 3-5 announcement designs. It generally takes 3-4 days to create your first set of proofs/announcement samples. I will e-mail these samples to you to review. The more detailed you can be about what you like and don't like, the easier it will be for me to make it perfect for you! (For example, If you like the font from one, but the pictures from another, and the layout from the other... we can combine them all to find the perfect thing!)


Step 4: Middle Proofs
As soon as you get back to me with your input on your first proofs, I will start tweaking the designs to find the perfect fit for you. Depending on the changes you would like to be made to the announcements, this takes 1-3 days. I will do as many rounds of proofs as it takes to find something that you love - at no extra charge. Most of the time after the second round of proofs we have settled on a final design, but you never need to be worried about asking to make more changes. This is also the time that we will start the design on insert cards to go with the announcement.



Step 5: Final Proofs
Once you have made it to this step you are almost done! I will send you your Final Proofs. At this point, it is very important to check everything one more time! After one last overview of names, dates, times and places we are ready to send your announcements to print! This is the time period that all announcement/insert card numbers need to be finalized. After the final proofs are approved, they will be sent to print. Printing time takes roughly 7-10 days. (Rush printing is available.)



Step 6: Announcement Delivery
Hooray! Your announcements are done and ready to be delivered!  As soon as I get your announcements back, I will call you and set up a time to deliver them. Final payment is due at the time of delivery. I can promise that it will be love at first sight as you receive your very own customized wedding announcements packaged up in a simply yet aesthetically pleasing manner.
