Sheila Hodge Designs - Stationery Ordering

Ordering

I would advise that you place your stationery order at least 6 months in advance of your wedding or event to give plenty of time for checking and approving proofs, the production process, delivery and for you to send the invitations to your guests, which is usually 8-12 weeks in advance of a wedding and 4-8 weeks in advance of any other social event, depending on the formality of the occasion.

Even if you haven't finalised all the details, orders for all the stationery items and quantities you require should be placed at the same time to ensure availability in the diary and continuity of the materials used, as this cannot be guaranteed at a later date should you subsequently wish to add to your order. Remember to order extra copies of stationery items to allow for contingencies.

I work to a timescale of around 4-6 weeks for wedding and event stationery and 1-2 weeks for baby and social stationery, depending on the nature of the order, from the receipt of approved proofs. However, if you are working to a tighter timescale I will endeavour to accommodate your request, subject to availability.

Step One

Please contact me via email or telephone for an initial consultation to discuss your requirements and ideas and check availability in the diary to avoid disappointment.

Step Two

Following on from our consultation, I will provide you with a no obligation personalised quotation, together with a sample of your preferred design from my existing portfolio.

For bespoke commissions, I will provide you with design ideas, revise them as necessary and, once you are happy with the final draft, create samples for your approval. Please note, however, that an additional fee of £30.00 is required for this service, payable in advance of any work undertaken and non-refundable regardless of whether or not you proceed with an order.

Step Three

If you wish to proceed with an order, signed acceptance of the quotation, together with a deposit representing 50% of your total order amount, or full payment if your order is less than £100, will be required to secure a production slot in the diary. You may pay by cash in person, cheque made payable to Sheila Hodge or bank transfer (please contact me for account details).

Step Four

Upon receipt of your signed acceptance and clearance of funds, I will send you written confirmation that your date has been booked in the diary, together with a production schedule detailing the deadlines required for additional information, payment of any balances due and estimated completion/dispatch dates.

Step Five

I will then prepare a set of proofs, based on the information you have provided, and send them to you for your written approval. Once you have approved the proofs production will commence.

Step Six

You will be advised when the order or each component part of the order has been completed and the relevant outstanding balance will require to be paid in full and cleared through the banking system prior to dispatch.

Step Seven

Finally, all that's left to do is for you to take delivery of your simply stylish stationery, created especially for you.
