HOW WE WORK

Pink Poppy Ink’s Process

Cost
Invitations range anywhere from $1.50 each and upwards depending on the customization, design and quantity.

Turnaround Time
One of the most asked questions is, “When will I receive my invitations?”. The answer varies and mainly depends on how quickly you make decisions and communicate them back to us. If you already have your wording, colors and design ideas figured out the process will go quickly. If you need more than two rounds of proofs to show family members and friends, then there is a $20 charge per change/proof.

Pink Poppy Ink also has personal, 30-minute consultations available for clients in the Indianapolis area wanting custom, handmade invitations/stationery. Anyone outside the Indianapolis area can chose to have the consultation over the phone.

After you select Pink Poppy Ink for your invitations (and we hope you do!) the following will happen in this order depending on if you chose a stock or custom invitation.
