Enquiry
Fill out the enquiry form so I can check availability for your event and provide an initial quote.

Booking
Once I have understood your needs, I'll create a quote based on your requirements. Then to proceed with the booking I require a 50% deposit, ahead of the design phase..

Design consultation
We'll book in a short video (or phone) call to help me to understand the aesthetic you hope to achieve for your event. We'll run through certain details and i'll guide you every step of the way, from design ideas through to copy. This is a chance to meet each other and ask any questions you may have.

Design phase
My favourite part! I'll book in a week for designs after which point I'll provide you with 2-3 options based on our conversations. Ideally I'd have all your finalised wording at this stage, but if not, I will use placeholder text and we can add this later.

Refining
Here we'll have a bit of back and forth to establish artwork amends and make final design desicions.
6
Proofing & approval
I'll send across a final proof for approval.

Print & production
Artwork is sent to trusted print suppliers with whom I've built strong relationships. They're people I can rely on to produce high-quality print that I'm proud to put my name against. This can take 1-4 weeks depending on your chosen print type.

Delivery
Once I've quality checked your printed items. I'll arrange them in to order if required (saving you valuable time closer to the big day). I usually ship via Royal Mail or Parcel Force.
Here's a little break down of Maple & Rae’s process which I believe should be enjoyable and exciting - never overwhelming.
