FAQs frequently asked questions

What is your wedding design process like?

The custom design process starts with a complimentary virtual intro meeting where we get to know each other and talk through your project. From this intro meeting we will send you a preliminary price quote and timeline.

Once you’re signed on, we meet again to go in-depth: Kirby learns about who you are and we discuss your ideas and goals for the project in detail. She takes this information into sketching, and thus begins our back-and-forth. After a sketch review, we progress to full design proofs, solidify materials and print methods, and finally create fully-realized invitations. It’s creative and fun!


Do you do envelope calligraphy?

We offer envelope calligraphy only for clients who sign on for the full wedding package (save the dates, wedding suites, + day-of materials).


Can I use your art with someone else’s calligraphy?

Yes! If you’ve found a calligrapher you love, please put us in touch. If you have a style in mind that Kirby doesn’t offer, we’re happy to connect you with a calligrapher who would be a great fit for the project.


I’d like to work with a particular printer or stationery shop - can I still use your designs?

Yes! Kirby loves working with stationery boutiques and specialty printers. Please fill out our inquiry form to jumpstart the conversation.


What’s your turnaround time?

Turnaround time depends on the complexity of the project. We recommend reaching out at least 10 months in advance for full wedding designs (saves, invites, and day-of items). Rush orders are accepted for an additional charge, schedule permitting.


How much does your work cost?

Clients who work with our studio for save the dates, invitations, and day-of paper typically budget at least $15k for stationery and printed materials. We also offer custom spot illustrations (digital files with transparent backgrounds for use in your wedding suite). For detailed pricing please fill out this form and we will be in touch.

If you are interested in working together on a non-wedding project, please reach out to studio@kirbyxart.com with details.


Do you sell original artwork or prints?

Not at the moment! Please email studio@kirbyxart.com if you are interested in a specific print or an original commission.
