Weddingbee boards

I talked to C last night and came up with a great idea to make some extra $$ for the wedding.. I LOVE designing (doing our invites was pretty much the first thing I did).

I am going to start selling printer-ready designs for the DIY brides on etsy. They will come in a high resolution format ready to print! I will offer just the invitation design or the entire suite, including RSVPs menus, etc.

My question is... how much would you be willing to pay for the design????

We were thinking maybe $20 for invitation only and $50 for the whole she-bang? This would be for already created designs, customized with the couple's information.

Also, I would do completely custom work... how much would you pay for that?

What do you Bees think? Are those prices low or high?

**ALSO.... I'll create FREE designs for the first 5 respones to this post. Your designs will be the first to be in my etsy shop. If I get on a kick, I might do more! We shall see.

I'll PM you to find out the details and what look you want!

Thank you!

I agree with scissors, check on etsy and other invite site. I don't how much I would pay, since we're on a budget I am pretty much completely budget minded. lol It sounds really cool and a good idea for the brides who can afford it. Do you have any designs you could show us so we can see what you're talking about? 

And one more question what do you mean buy printer ready? like we down load them and print them off of our own computer? lol I'm feeling very un-tech savvy right now

Yeah, I so thought C and I were geniuses for coming up with this idea - NOT! Haha, looks like there are quite a few etsy sellers who do this.  I briefly did check last night and got a decently wide range of prices.. I suppose I was just trying to feel for what the consumers want to pay :)

@bobbypinpearls.. Yes, you have the right idea! I would more than likey do them up on an 8.5x11 so as many as can fit would be on a single sheet. It would make it much easier. It would be a huge image and you would download it and just send it to your printer.

My own invitation is the first one. The others are designs I did about 2 yrs ago! I'm excited to do some new ones :)

(A ribbon is supposed to go in place of the green stripe......)

I think this is a great idea and very good price!  If I had DIY'd my invites, I would have thought it was a steal!  Great idea! 

I"m actually looking into getting a custom monogram for after the wedding.  Perhaps you could up your price and throw that in your package too.

PS - Love the last design!  Where were you about 6 months ago when I was doing my invitations?!

@scissors.. thank you! I love words of encouragement :) :)

I am a people pleaser, so I know I will go above and beyond to make sure it's perfect. Probably more than I should, hehe. Hopefully it works to my advantage.

It's one of the most important days in a woman's life and I definitely recognize that and want to do all I can to make it the best.

I also just love weddings and planning anyway, so that helps my cause!

@Candy... Thank you! And I was around, just not really thinking about getting married and def. not on the Bee yet! hehe.

Weird that you all are talking about monograms. I'd never even thought about them before and just made one for my wedding website today :)

I think it's best to do it on a per piece basis. I know that's how I priced everything out that I looked at.

Thanks for all the comments, Bees. You all are always so helpful.

I have a lot to think about now!! :)

wow! those are really pretty! I wish I would have met you before we bought ours!!!lol I think you could defintely make a lil extra money with those!

Check out a printable press, which is on the high end but have very nice stuff.  I think that they get a fair number of orders.
