Frequently asked questions
We want to make our wedding invitations with you, so where do we start?
The first step is to talk to us! The best way is through the form on this website. As soon as we receive your message, we will contact you to schedule a meeting (in person or by video call) without any commitment. It will serve to align the first ideas and for us to be able to send you an adjusted invoice.
We already have a design prepared. Can you print it?
At Flor d’Alecrim we do not print external works but we can accept to work with a logo, monogram or illustration that they already have and want to see integrated into the rest of the image that we will develop. Our work is always developed in partnership with you, and in order to guarantee the quality and originality that moves us, we have to manage the process from the beginning.
What kind of investment do we need to make?
Our process includes invitations and stationery that are completely personalized and adapted to your specific tastes and your available budget. The viability of some ideas and finishes may depend on more investment, but there are always production options that we can consider. In all cases, the price will always be variable and adapted to your needs and expectations.
How far in advance should we contact you?
The wedding invitation is one of the crucial elements of any couple’s big day. It must be thought out and designed with the utmost detail, to better materialize your love story. At Flor d’Alecrim, we advise that invitations start to be developed 3 to 6 months in advance in relation to the date on which you intend to deliver them to your guests. For custom projects of other natures, it is advisable to come to us at least 1 to 2 months before to ensure that it is feasible to expedite everything from conception to production.
How do we know if we will like the final result?
Any custom project developed at Flor d’Alecrim is worked very closely with those who come to us. The development is composed of phases in which we are fine-tuning the proposals to what you envisioned. If there is a mismatch between what you are looking for and what we present, we will reformulate the proposal according to your feedback. We won’t take any project as completed without you being happy with the result, so we can guarantee you will be satisfied.
How long will it take for us to receive our invitations?
The development, printing, and production of the invitations can take between 4 to 6 weeks, depending on each project. As soon as you decide to choose Flor d’Alecrim, we will schedule the entire process so that you know exactly when your invitations and other elements will be ready to be delivered to you.
Where can we see examples of your work?
You can check our website on the weddings and special occasions pages, or on our social networks Instagram and Facebook. If you visit us in our space, we can also share some duplicates in physical format so you can discover papers and finishes more closely.
What packages do you have for weddings?
Our packages can be completely customized, depending on the parts that make them up and the levels of design and production you want. After our kick-off meeting, we sent you a document with more details and some sample packages you can compose. Save the date, Invitation, Menu, Table and place marker, Table map, Ceremony booklet, Thank you card, Groomsmen/Bridesmaid special request, Messages to the newlyweds, Souvenirs personalization, Flower cones, Personalized Placard, and Website, are just some of the elements that we can integrate.
We only want the invitation and not a package, is that possible?
Yes, but we always recommend that you adopt a package to translate into your day the identity that will be created with the invitation. The necessary investment for the development of the concept, that will give rise to this main piece, justifies at least the creation of two or three more materials to make the event even more special.
How does star categorization work?
We categorize our projects into levels to facilitate the choice of our services. To offer more versatility, we have divided the service levels you can select into two segments: production details and elements design. Look here to explore how these combinations translate into projects we’ve already developed!
Do we need to provide you with all the content at the beginning of the project?
It would be ideal! However, especially at bigger events like weddings, some information may not yet be defined or have confirmation only closer to the day. In all cases, we offer support to generate provisional content so that we can work on the pieces. The content review is always your responsibility.
What types of finishes do you do?
At Flor d’Alecrim, we have no limits to what you can do, it all depends on the deadlines and the intended investment. Some examples of finishes are gold foil, embossing, varnish, trimmed vinyl, and special cuts. Depending on the effect you want or the story you want to tell, we can advise you on the best finishes for that purpose.
I have an idea for a gift. How do I know if you can make it happen?
Just talk to us! At Flor d’Alecrim, we have no limits to what you can do, it all depends on the deadlines and the intended investment.
What are the payment methods?
We divide payments into several stages, depending on the type of project to be developed, and there is always a percentage paid as you accept your invoice. We take payments by bank transfer.
Can I visit your space?
Of course! We can schedule an appointment to ensure we receive you the best way. You can find us at Mercado Municipal de Matosinhos, Espaço 12, Rua França Júnior, 4450-135 Matosinhos, Portugal. To schedule an appointment, you can contact us using the form above, call us at +351 918 083 368, or send an email to design@flordalecrim.com.
Do you make digital media or only printed materials?
We work with all types of media, printed and digital. From websites to animated invitations, we can develop various virtual pieces to help you spread love or celebrate a meaningful date.
Do you work outside Portugal?
Yes, as long as we are contacted early enough to manage all production logistics and coordination with suppliers. Talk to us!
How does the choice of materials work if the entire process is handled remotely?
Near or far, the choice of materials is one of the most important steps in creating a design project. The ideal is always choosing the materials physically present, but we can send you a small sample or expedite a way you clearly see what you are selecting.
Are shipping costs included?
No. As we work with clients around the world, and each project can have very different elements in quantity and materials, we adapt this cost to each case. We work with quality suppliers who will ensure that your materials arrive intact and within the deadlines defined when we finalize production.
