FAQ
You may have a few questions to ask us about the way we work, so to make things easier for you, we have complied a list of the most frequently asked questions opposite.
Q1) Do you just do invitations?
A1) We work to YOUR requirements, so we can produce any item you might need, but to give you an idea, here are just a few of the items we have produced in the past: save-the-date cards, invitations, RSVP cards, maps and directions, lined envelopes, order of service, order of the day, table plans, table numbers, name cards, menus, drinks menus, disposable cameras, favour boxes, favour tags, guest books, napkins, wine bottles, and thank you cards. So if you need something not on the above list just ask and the chances are we can help!
Q2) How much does an invite/stationery set cost?
A2) Due to the highly bespoke nature of Acushla and the limitless possibilities, quotations need to be produced on an individual basis depending on your requirements. Please see our ‘Pricing’ page.
Q3) Can you work to our budget?
A3) Yes! In fact we prefer to work this way! Giving us your maximum and minimum budget will enable us to know exactly where to aim in terms of design complexity, materials and print finishes used, which in turn will make the whole design process much smoother.
Q4) How does the design process work?
A4) As with every Acushla wedding stationery set, we ask you to fill in a short questionnaire to gather as much information about you and your event as possible and we also encourage you to send us images or moodboards you may have collected so we can get a sense of exactly how our items will integrate with your wedding. Once we have agreed your quotation and received your deposit, we work with you to ensure that the work we produce is exactly in-line with your thoughts and aspirations. See the ‘Pricing’ page for a detailed breakdown.
Q5) How long does my free consultation last?
A5) There is no time limit on your free consultation – it lasts as long as it needs to. We want you to feel 100% confident and happy with us and the way we work, so we urge you to ask as many questions as you need to put your mind at rest before moving forward to the next stage.
Q6) How long does the design process take?
A6) We generally tend to ask for 12 weeks from start to finish which gives us time to come up with suitable concepts, develop these ideas, and print and produce them in the appropriate manner. However, if you do need your items sooner please don’t be afraid to ask!
Q7) What type of card do you print onto?
A7) For our more luxurious items we letterpress or foil onto high quality heavyweight card in 350gsm or 700gsm where appropriate. But you’re not just limited to card – we can etch into glass, plastic, wood or metal – in fact pretty much any material you can think of!
Q8) When do I pay for my stationery set?
A8) We require a one-off £250 to develop the initial ideas and costings, and then once you are happy with the ideas and price, a 50% deposit is needed to begin the actual design process. The final 50% will be payable before your items go to print.
Q9) Do you work with wedding planners?
A9) Yes. Our creative ideas, luxurious finish and consistently professional and reliable service are favoured by wedding planners across Europe.
