Got Questions? Individual Address Pricing is as follows: $0.55 per address on the front of the envelope, $1.00 per return address on outer envelope in the back of envelope, $0.55 per RSVP addressed envelope (all print on one side of the envelope), or $0.30 per custom address label . Postage can be provided, at USPS standard rate, usually 44 cents per RSVP envelope and starting at 61 cents per outer invitation envelope, subject to postal rates. While I have never master the art of calligraphy, I have worked with and highly recommend "Calligraphy by Jennifer" at www.calligraphybyjennifer.net! She is wonderful and her work is sublime! Prices Vary, based upon complexity and amount of calligraphy required. An alternate solution: (I suggest the use of computer addressing for all your address needs: less expensive and can be done to coordinate with your interior fonts. In addition, the post office prefers computerized addressing to calligraphy for ease of mailing.) Absolutely not! I am more than happy to communicate via email, phone, and USPS to assist you throughout the design and creation process! Most projects, from design start to complete invitations in hand take approximately 8 weeks. However, if the design and production is more complex, the process takes more time. Please remember that your invitations should go out anywhere from 3 months to 6 weeks prior to your special event, and plan accordingly for the beginning of design for your custom invitations. As a custom company, there is no set price. Much like a construction company, the cost is based upon supplies plus labor, so the more complex the project, the more costly it becomes. Simple invitations in design, with envelopes and RSVP card, start at $5.00 and up. I am always happy to try and work inside of your budget, as best as possible. Major credit cards, PayPal, checks, and cash. There is a $35 fee for returned checks.

How Many Invitations Should I Order?
A good rule of thumb is to count the number of guests, divide by 2 (as most of your guests will be couples or families) and add 15-20 for the singles in your list. It is always better to order more than you will need as late re-printing is very expensive. I usually suggest that my clients add an additional 5-10 invitations to the amount they think they will need to ensure they have more than enough invitations.
When should my invitations go out in the mail?
Proper etiquette suggests 6-8 weeks prior to the event should be your ideal mailing time. If you have several guests coming in from out of town, I would suggest 8-12 weeks 
prior to give your guests ample time to make their travel arrangements. Keep in mind that the creative process takes approximately 8 weeks, so start early to avoid rush service fees!

Does 1st Impressions Invitations offer Calligraphy?
Calligraphy Addressing and Return addressing for the inner or outer envelope is at the discretion of my calligrapher and starts at $2.00 per piece per side. Her prices are determined by the type of paper, complexity of the calligraphy, amount needed, and if rush service is needed. Suggested Calligraphy use in invitation should be limited to the bride and groom's names and starts at $2.25 per invitation.

Do I have to live in Las Vegas to use your services?
Can you send samples?
When a client entrusts me with their initial design retainer, I send multiple designs and creations for you to view. However, without the design consultation retainer, I am unable to send out customized samples. I am unable to send out stock samples because I simple do not have anything such as "stock": every project is customized right from the beginning.
How long does a project take?
How much do your invitations cost?
What type of payment do you take?
What is your cancellation policy?
The original design retainer will be retained as a cancellation fee and is non-refundable. If production has begun, the 50% deposit of the invitations, charged at the beginning of production, will be held and all paper and products bought for the project will be deducted from the deposit, prior to the return of funds. However, there is no refund after 7 days, once officially into production (day 1 is the first day after official sign-off on project)
