Why we think having choices and options when it comes to your wedding stationery is as important as having choices with your dress, venue decoration and flowers....and what we intend to do about it.
ABOUT ME
Hi
there… I’m Sue Simpson. Owner, maker and shaker of Inspired by Script.
I’ve
bee designing and making a wide variety of commissioned work since 1988. I
formally trained as a professional Calligrapher and taught classes all over the
UK.
My
freelance work includes work for the M.O.D., Yahoo Inc.,… oh yes… and even
Royalty as well as many others in both the public and private sectors.
WHAT WE DO:
We design, make and create, bespoke, Wedding Invitations and
stationery for couples who are looking for something that little bit different.
We realise that searching for
that perfect wedding stationery can be a daunting process. I mean, there’s so much to choose from and so
many variations, right?
No doubt, by now, you've had a good scout around
the Internet mind-boggling isn't it?
We intend to take all the stress and pressure
off your shoulders and gently guide you through the whole process. From start
to finish we’ll be with you every step of the way. That’s our promise!
At Inspired by Script we offer a completely
different experience, because we think to have the invitations you truly want,
you need to have choices and we think it’s important that you have a say in
such matters.
We provide a design and print service which is
totally bespoke to you.
Yes of course we have stock designs and ideas,
They are an important jumping off point when it comes to finding your likes and
dislikes. From there we can work together
to come up with something that reflects your theme choices and personality.
In short we Work with couples who dare to be
different.
Because we design and make everything ourselves, we can carry
a design or theme right the way through. We offer everything from the Save the
Date cards…. Right through to the Thank you cards and all the lovely stuff in
between that makes your Wedding stand out from the crowd.
Your ideas
are our inspiration.
ABOUT OUR COUPLES:
In particular we connect best with couples who are creative,
enthusiastic and inspired to have a wedding with a difference. We love hearing
all your ideas and helping you put them into practice.
Our couples want something different to the ordinary, run of
the mill and off the shelf deigns currently available on the internet.
They also understand and appreciate the importance of buying
from someone they can trust and meet face to face and form a bond.
Our couples are not willing to compromise when it comes to
something as important as their invitations and stationery and realise it sets
the scene and becomes an integral part of the whole look of their wedding… not
just an after thought.
They like being adventurous and different.
They prefer to support small businesses, knowing that they
will get far better and a much more
personal service.
Our couples are open to suggestions to make designs and
ideas work.
They trust our experience when it comes to design choices
and layout and like working together so that they have some input into the
design process… even if it’s just the card and foil colour.
They appreciate that their stationery is all hand made and
not just thrown off a production line.
They want to be a name… not just an order number.
They see choosing their Invitations and Stationery as
important as choosing their Wedding dresses and suits, wedding flowers and
table decorations.
They care and have the vision of how they want it all to
look on their ‘Big Day’.

HOW IT ALL
WORKS:
THE CONSULTATION
During the consultation here’s some of the questions you’ll
need to think about… this helps us build up a picture of what you are looking
for.
Theme:
What is your theme?
What type of wedding are you having? Formal, Informal, Church, Venue, Country,
Vintage, Classic, Fun, Quirky.
Format:
Pocket Fold, Folded, Gatefold, Flat?
Inclusions:
Do you need information cards? Travel and accommodation
details? R.S.V.P. Cards?
Card Colour:
Ivory or White?
Wording:
We can help and advise you on this… but of course you can
choose your own.
Finish:
Foiled or Laser Printed?
Design:
Choose from one of the many we have on show… or have one
adapted or totally bespoke to you. Have you an idea that you just LOVE but
can’t find anywhere else? Run it by us… we’ll see what we can do.
Quantity:
many times I’ve stopped couples ordering too many… or even
worse… not enough.
You'll need 1 invitation per family!
But remember: Please order extras at the time of placing
your order as the minimum print run is 20, so adding those extra couple can be
costly.
We are here to answer any questions and solve any
problems you have come across when choosing wedding invitations. It’s our job
and what we do best.
ORDERING YOUR INVITATIONS & STATIONERY
Once you’ve decided on the elements above I’ll give you a
price based on the choices you’ve made and the information provided.
Once agreed you can place a firm order.
Pricing:
Prices vary depending on your choice or materials, format
and the time taken to create them.
Deposit & Proofs:
On payment of a 50% deposit, which books you a production
slot and secures your order, we’ll work up a proof.
The deposit is payment for the design to proof stage and
covers 1 set of changes before going to print.
It’s important that you check, re-check and check again
for any spelling or grammatical errors as changes after the free change will be
charged on an hourly basis. Mistakes don’t happen very often, but mistakes
after printing has been commenced can mean unusable stationery and a costly
mistake to you.
PLEASE NOTE: We are pretty busy most of the year
and samples of finished and personalised items specific to you are not
possible. We are however, happy to give you a sample of our card quality and
foiling, but this won’t necessarily be in the design or colour foil of your
choice. As all our work is bespoke, it’s just not possible.
Turnaround time:
We will then give you an estimated finishing time,
depending on how busy we are and whether we need to order stock for your fully
personalised stationery. Make sure you order your stationery in good time….
Timescales vary depending on the time of year and we hate to keep you waiting.
Timescale:
As everything you order is made in-house by us,
taimescales vary depending on workload. We can only book your order in, once
you’ve committed to an order and made any changes to your proofs. We’ll give
you a better indication at the time.
The balance of your invoice is payable before delivery if
being sent by post or on collection.
PLEASE NOTE: In order
to keep costs down and pass this saving onto you, our client, we do not have
card facilities at the studio. Payment is by BACS transfer prior to collection
or in cash if collecting in person. Payment by Paypal can be arranged but there
will be a 6% charge to cover Paypal costs.
Please pre arrange. If paying by check, funds must be
cleared before finished items leave the studio.

IF YOU ARE NEEDING ON THE DAY STATIONERY
We will book a slot 6 weeks prior to your wedding for
Seating Plans, Post Boxes, Place Cards, Favour Tags or any other on-the-day
items. We need to do this as it’s important to us that we offer a full and
complete service and during certain times of the year, it can get a little bit
hectic. We’d hate to let you down. Please make us aware if you will need
on-the-day items when ordering your invitations.
ORDERING ON THE DAY ITMEMS
If you have already had your invitations made by us we will
have pre booked you in and reserved a slot for you. However, those wishing to
just have their on-the-day items made by us are advised to contact us first as
it’s not always possible to fit everyone in.
We are very aware that on-the-day stationery such as seating
plans are very much a last minute task. We therefore need your lists, sent to
us by email and typed in the body of the email, NO LATER than 4 WEEKS BEFORE
your wedding if collecting in person or no later than 6WEEKS BEFORE if ordering
by post. Sooner if possible,
I hope the above
has answered your questions, but if
hasn’t, please get in touch. We’re only a phone call away.
