✅ Pre-booking Checklist

• Confirm your guest count and required quantity before requesting quotes — minimum order thresholds vary by studio.
• Collect a physical sample from at least two Chennai studios before finalising design and material.
• Verify the studio's vector file capability for Tamil Unicode script to avoid font-rendering errors in cut zones.
• Clarify whether the quoted price includes GST, proofing rounds, content corrections, and courier packaging.
• Book the studio at least 8–10 weeks before the wedding date; add 2 weeks buffer during peak season (Nov–Feb, Apr–May).
• Decide on add-ons — box packaging, wax seals, ribbon closure — before signing off on the quote to avoid mid-production cost surprises.
• Request a digital proof AND a single physical test print before approving mass production.
• Confirm the reprint policy for corrections such as changed muhurtham timing or venue name updates.

🎯 Selection Criteria

• Portfolio depth: does the studio show experience with South Indian motifs and Tamil script layouts?
• In-house laser cutting versus outsourced production — in-house gives better quality control and faster iteration.
• Material range offered — paper, acrylic, wood — indicating technical versatility.
• Turnaround time commitment with a written delivery schedule, not a verbal estimate.
• Transparent pricing with GST, finishing, and courier costs itemised separately.
• Post-delivery support for reprints or corrections within a defined timeframe.

💰 Cost / Quality Factors

• Material choice is the single largest cost driver — acrylic and wood veneer cost 3–4x more than paper per card.
• Number of laser-cut layers directly impacts both production time and per-unit price.
• Foil stamping, embossing, and UV coating each add ₹30–₹80 per card to base laser cut cost.
• Box packaging invitations add ₹120–₹300 per set over a standalone card, but reduce courier damage risk significantly.
• Order volume matters: a jump from 100 to 300 cards typically reduces per-unit price by 20–35%.
• Rush production surcharges (15–25%) can erode savings from negotiated bulk rates — plan timelines carefully.

⚠️ Common Mistakes to Avoid

• Approving only a digital mockup without a physical proof — screen colours and cut sharpness never match the real card accurately.
• Placing the full order without confirming GST-inclusive pricing, leading to unexpected 12% additions to the final bill.
• Overlooking Tamil script positioning — fine-stroke characters placed over cut zones become illegible or structurally weak.
• Underestimating lead time during Chennai's wedding season (November to February) and paying avoidable rush fees.
• Choosing the cheapest per-unit price without checking if box packaging or courier materials are excluded from the quote.
• Not keeping a 10–15% buffer quantity for last-minute additions to the guest list after cards are dispatched.
