WDS: Please describe your Professional Biographical Background.
Emily Kaufman Leong has been a freelance graphic designer since 1998.
A lifetime lover of unique greetings, Emily also crafted handmade, one-of-a-kind greeting cards for friends and family. In 2001, she was approached to design and construct custom wedding invitations. Since then, she has been designing personal stationery and graphics on a regular basis and incorporated Slice of Lime Design in 2004. Emily holds a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Fine Art with an emphasis in Graphic Design from Webster University.
WDS: Do you offer an invitation addressing service? If so, what is the charge for this?
In addition to exclusively referring a local master calligrapher, I do offer invitation addressing myself. For matte papers, I can either hand-write (I don't do professional calligraphy, but I do have a unique, elegant penmanship) addresses or print them by high resolution laser to match the fonts used in the suite. Invitation addressing is 1.00 per envelope.
WDS: What lettering style options are available? Will the lettering push back my delivery date?
For computerized calligraphy, turnaround time is 48 hours. Lettering styles can be matched exactly to the fonts used. For handwritten envelopes, turnaround time is 3-5 days and only my handwriting is available. =) Please feel free to contact me to discuss rates and turnaround time for my professional calligrapher.
WDS: What is a good per invite budget range?
For complete custom invitations, expect to spend anywhere between $3.50 to $15.00 per invitation, depending on the papers, printing, assembly and embellishments used.
WDS: Do you offer a package or a discounted price if they order all of the invitation components at the same time?
Depending on the products chosen, some package pricing may apply since the stocks are best ordered from the same lot. If we're using the same papers for invitations as we are for accompaniments, I can get a better rate on bulk paper orders.
WDS: Are there any new styles, trends and color combinations they might consider?
New color trends I am seeing are jewel tones, gray scales and a return to classic colors - black, burgundy, navy, etc. Styles are simple, natural, eco-green, vintage-inspired and city-chic. My clients are using unusual embellishments and custom die-cuts as well.
