· · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · Do you work with people who do not live in MN? Absolutely. UNIQLOVE has had the pleasure to work with couples near or far. The process has been simplified to make it extremely accessible for anyone across the country. · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · What is the process like? Whether you are ordering custom, one-of-a-kind invitations or choosing from pre-made designs from the UNIQ boutique the process is incredibly easy. The timeline includes three main steps; consult, concept designs and final proofing. Whether you live near or far, every detail of the process and every step throughout the way is extremely organized and neat as a pin. Just sit back as your perfect invitations take on life! Custom: For custom invitations, we first have a consultation, which is a fun chance to share your style, ideas, preferences, swatches, and clippings. We do this either by meeting in person (if you are local) or by phone or Skype if you don't. Once we get to know each other I jump in and create something to knock your socks off. That's where the second stop comes in, viewing the two original designs which have been created for you. Once you choose which design you can't live without, you then order, followed by any revisions, proofs and finally they are made! Non-Custom: Orders from pre-designed collection in the UNIQ boutique will speed up the process if you have a shorter timeline. First, we connect either via email, phone or skype so that we can discuss the design you are looking at and your wording and color choices. Second, you would order a sample of the design you have chosen and send UNIQLOVE your wording and color swatches if needed. Once you see your sample in person, we'll connect again and you then will place your order. Easy squeezy! · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · How long does it take? For custom invitations, it generally takes 8 weeks from consultation to final product. For pre-designed orders from the UNIQ boutique, the timeline is really dependant on your choice of payment (PayPal vs. check) and how quickly you are at providing UNIQLOVE with final wording, color swatches and final approvals. This shorter process could take as little as a few weeks. However, for both custom and non-custom, faster time frames are very possible, depending on induvidual circumstances and UNIQLOVE availability. Faster jobs may be subject to a "Rush Order" charge. · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · How many custom invitation designs would you create for me?
