Getting Started

Here are some frequently asked questions to help you get started on your design project with Cfdesign!

How much does it cost?
Each project is unique, so the best way to determine cost is by submitting a request for a quote. I can work within your budget to create the design you’re envisioning.

How long will it take?
The timeframe depends on the scope of the project and will be confirmed to you when a quote is given. Full-scale invitations can take approximately 2-8 weeks from consultation to final product, depending on the design elements included. For design-only projects, the timeframe is generally 1-5 days.

►What is the design process?

Consultation: First we will discuss the design elements for your project with regards to style, colour, type of paper, etc.
Outline: The project details will be outlined in a design contract, which both parties will sign. This contract includes the overall cost and completion date.
Deposit: For invitations and large projects, a 50% deposit will be required at the time the contract is signed. For smaller, design-only projects, full payment of the design fee is required in advance.
Design: An initial design will be completed and a proof will be sent to you for review.
Fine-tune: Any changes or revisions will be completed, and then the final proof will be sent to you for your approval.
Final product: An invoice will be sent for the final balance after printing and assembly (if applicable) are completed. The final product will then be shipped or delivered to you.

►Is there a minimum order quantity for invitations?
There is no minimum order requirement. Cost will be determined based on the style and quantity of items you would like.

►What forms of payments are accepted?
For all design projects, an invoice will be sent to you via email for deposits and final balances owing. Payment can be made by credit card through the invoice, or through an etransfer to christine@cfdesign.ca. A receipt will be issued to you for your records once each applicable payment is completed.
