✅ Pre-booking Checklist

• Confirm your total guest count before requesting quotes to determine print run size and per-unit cost
• Set your invitation budget as a percentage of total event budget — typically 3 to 5 percent for premium events
• Collect all guest addresses, including outstation and NRI addresses, before artwork finalisation
• Decide on language requirements — English only, bilingual, or trilingual — and share with the designer upfront
• Request a physical proof (not just a digital proof) before approving the full print run
• Confirm despatch and courier timelines to ensure invitations reach guests at least 4 to 6 weeks before the event
• Check whether envelope addressing, stamping, and packing are included in the studio's quote or charged separately
• Ask for a QR code or wedding website link to be incorporated if guests need digital access to logistics details

🎯 Selection Criteria

• Portfolio alignment: does the designer's previous work match your event style and cultural tone?
• Material quality: review paper weight, finish samples, and envelope quality in person where possible
• Turnaround reliability: verify past client references for on-time delivery, especially for luxury suites
• Proofing process: ensure at least two rounds of digital proof and one physical sample are included
• Bilingual capability: confirm the studio can typeset your required languages with appropriate fonts
• Post-print support: check whether the studio assists with packing, addressing, and courier booking

💰 Cost / Quality Factors

• Paper stock and GSM — heavier, textured papers command significantly higher prices
• Number of finishing techniques — each additional process (foil, emboss, laser cut) adds 20–40% to unit cost
• Print run size — larger quantities reduce per-unit cost but increase total outlay
• Suite complexity — single card versus multi-insert suite with box packaging has a 3x to 8x cost difference
• Rush surcharge — orders needed in under 10 days typically attract a 20–35% premium
• Courier and handling — outstation delivery for 300+ invites can add INR 5,000 to INR 20,000 to total cost

⚠️ Common Mistakes to Avoid

• Approving the full print run without reviewing a physical proof — screen colours rarely match print output perfectly
• Ordering the exact guest count with no buffer — always print 10 to 15 percent extra for last-minute additions and keepsakes
• Ignoring postage weight limits — premium box suites often exceed standard postage thresholds, requiring speed-post or courier
• Choosing a designer based solely on price — the cheapest quote often reflects compromised paper quality or hidden charges
• Forgetting to proofread every language version independently — typographical errors in a second language go unnoticed until print
• Leaving insufficient time — booking a studio less than 4 weeks before your event date almost always results in compromised quality
