Jennifer's Review

Jennifer's Review on Wedding Wire, I made her invites and CD favor holders
'Designs by Tine' was one of the best (if not THE best) wedding vendor I had the privilege of working with for my wedding! She created my invitations, monogram & CD favor holders, all of which were absolutely GORGEOUS!! The invitations far exceeded any expectation I had, and were completely customized to my wedding theme. Guests were still raving about how beautiful and unique they were at the wedding! The beautiful monogram she created incorporated our wedding theme and was used on stamps, programs, menu cards and even engraved onto the jar we used for our sand ceremony!! Christine was so helpful during that process and even sent us the monogram in a special format so that it could be engraved! She also worked with me to create a unique CD holder for my favors that matched the invites! The quality of her work far exceeded the price I paid, and her customer service was the best out of any other wedding vendor I worked with! She was quick to respond, an absolute pleasure to work with, and created some beautiful details that truly helped to make my wedding day unique and special and something I will remember forever. I highly recommend ‘Designs by Tine’ for any wedding or invite needs and am so thankful that I found her for mine!!

-It has been an absolute pleasure working with Jennifer! She has been an amazing customer from day one!

Price Announcement

Starting with any new printing order, I am now outsourcing my printing... it will save at least a week in production time! I will still be designing and assembling the invitations just not printing them myself. I will still be printing the envelopes myself. Prices are being adjusted a little bit.

Panel Pocket Invites-
5.00 an invite, 3 layer pocket with 1 insert and 1 RSVP,
-If you need additional inserts it is $20 per 25 cards.
-Outer Envelopes- $40 per order
Now mailing address printing is included in price to compensate the adjustment in the price. This also will include the design fee

Panel Invites-
3.75 an invite, includes 2 layers, 1 insert and 1 RSVP with envelopes and mailing address printing. Also includes design fee.

Regular Printing- Design fee of $20.00 plus
.75 per Metallic cardstock no matter size , 1.50 including metallic envelope
.50 per Regular cardstock no matter size , 1.00 including plain envelope

Design fees are staying the same.

For printing of your own DIY please contact me for pricing.

This will cut down on the amount of time to prepare the invites.

All orders already contacted about the prices will stay the same.

New Computer!

I am in the process of transferring over all of my files from my laptop. I am keeping only projects accessed in the last three months. Everything else will be deleted. Granted most of the stuff could be remade from emailed proofs but if you want to make sure I don't delete it please email me at designsbytine@gmail.com, this mostly has to do with monogram orders from way back when!

Corel Draw is almost loaded on the computer, once it is loaded I will make the changes to Marissa's map and start preparing my invite orders!

Have a great weekend and a Happy Easter!

Marissa's Custom Map

Marissa contacted me through etsy to make a custom map for her. This is what I came up with. I will also be doing her printing, they will be 4.75 x4.75.

Natalie Invites #1

Here is my first design of her invites, it is just how the pocket would look.

She is going to do a quote, I just picked one that I love! It is not the one she is going to do!

Constructive Night Tonight

So I have a lot of work that will be finished by the time I go to sleep tonight.

1) Jeri's Final Proof for her July 4th Wedding Invites
2) Custom Map Design

I am starting to pick up work again because my Cousin's wedding is in one week. Lead times for projects will be the same, 2-3 weeks for paper products and 2-7 days for custom digital designs.

I will be posting tonight with pictures of the Cassie's Save the Dates, the Custom Map, Tyler's and Natalie's designs!

Jessica's Review

So my weekend sucked. It was my cousin's bachelorette in Vegas and I get food poisoning from lunch! So while everyone was having fun I was becoming best friends with the toilet at the Rio!!

After taking a long nap yesterday I wake up to this message from Jessica regarding her invites:
My invites came yesterday and they are so freakin' beautiful! I am so in love with them that it's unhealthy!

I am so happy she loved them. Her invites were simple but perfect for their theme and her fiancee still got his lobster somewhere on them! The lobster on the RSVP card is my favorite part!

Out of Town

I will be out of town this weekend and returning sunday night. I will be checking email sporadically throughout the weekend.

On Monday, Cassandra's Save the Dates will be mailed.

Thank you all for your continued business.

Internet

My internet was out last night at my house. It is up and running this morning. Everything will be emailed tonight to those that are expecting stuff!

Jessica's Invitation Suite

Jessica purchased the same type invite as Jennifer did. She also purchased mailing addresses (aka Computer Calligraphy). Her future husband wanted lobsters to be somewhere on the invite so we put it on the RSVP card. Her colors are all shades of blue:

I can't figure out how to switch the pictures around, I have tried everything!
