Designs by Renée

About Us
Designs by Renée is a small studio founded by Renée who holds a Masters in Arts from the University of Baltimore in Publications Design. All invitations and announcements are designed by Renée and truly customized to create a unique invitation or announcement for each couple/person.

Order Process
You can choose an invitation you like on the web site or we can design a customized one for you. If you decide to customize your design, you can provide some ideas and pick out examples that you like on the order form link. For more detailed information about the order process, click here.

Standard Wedding Invitation Options
An invitation set will always include one each of the following: invitation, reception card (with reception information, a limited amount of directions, and accommodations), response postcard, and one plain unlined mailing envelope. If desired, direction and accommodation cards are available for an additional charge. If you prefer a response card rather than a response postcard, we can provide an envelope for the response card for an additional charge.

Samples
Designs By Renée will provide a proof of your invitation via e-mail. Actual printed samples are available upon request. Some samples cannot be provided in certain colors, but swatches can be sent along with the sample to give an accurate representation of the colors you will receive. Invitation samples are $35.00 each. The cost of a sample will be credited toward your invitation order.

Placing Orders
Please place your order approximately 3-4 months before the date you would like to mail your invitations to your guests. Some exceptions apply and invitations or announcements can be done sooner, if necessary. However, a $30 rush fee may be charged.

A 50% deposit of the total amount of your order is required before production will begin. The amount due will be based on how much work and materials are used. The remaining 50% of your order plus shipping and insurance is due before we can ship your order.

It is your responsibility to ensure spelling and grammar are correct. Designs by Renée is not responsible for reprinting invitations or announcements due to spelling mistakes or grammatical errors after final approval has been given. Any requested changes after final approval is given will cost extra.

Payment Options
We accept checks or money orders. Checks are payable to Designs By Renée. Checks must clear prior to pick-up or shipment delivery. We apologize for any inconvenience.

Returns & Cancellations
Due to the unique nature of customized invitations and announcements order quantities cannot be reduced, returned or cancelled after production begins. Once payment has been received no refunds will be issued. All payments submitted to Designs By Renée are non-refundable, even if the event is postponed, rescheduled, or canceled.

Studio Hours
We are open by appointment only. We encourage all of our clients to visit us for a design consultation to see all of the possibilities. However, it isn't necessary to have a design consultation to create a unique invitation. Design consultations are personal meetings, and we ask that you bring all of your ideas, colors, text that you would like to incorporate into your design.
