FAQ & Licensing
Frequently Asked Questions
How do custom invitations work?
My custom invitation process is collaborative and tailored to you:
1. Inquiry & Quote – You’ll share your event details and what you’re looking for, and I’ll provide a quote.
2. Booking & Deposit – Once you’re ready to move forward, a deposit secures your spot on my calendar.
3. Design & Proofs – I’ll create your artwork and send digital proofs for review. You’ll have two complimentary rounds of revisions to fine-tune your suite.
4. Approval & Printing – Once proofs are approved, your files go to print. Printing takes about one week, then items ship to me for quality checks. If I’m mailing to you, please add additional shipping time.
5. Assembly & Delivery – If you’ve chosen assembly services, I’ll prepare your suites. Otherwise, your printed items will arrive ready for you to assemble and mail.

What does licensing and exclusivity mean?
By default, artwork created for your project remains my property, which means I may reuse or adapt it in other designs. If you’d like exclusive rights to your artwork (ensuring it won’t be used for other clients), an exclusivity fee can be added to your package. This must be discussed and agreed upon before I begin your project.
⸻
Do you offer local pickup?
![]()
Yes, I offer porch pickup as a free and convenient option for local customers. Orders must be picked up within 7 days of being placed in the pickup bin. The bin is moisture-proof but not sun-proof, so I cannot guarantee items left longer than a week. To be sure you get your pickup notification, please use an active email address at checkout. If you are unable to pick up within a week, I recommend choosing shipping at checkout so your order arrives safely.
⸻
Can I use the artwork in other ways?
All artwork created by KMK Designs is protected by copyright and may only be used in the format and products I provide. It cannot be duplicated, altered, or sent to another vendor for printing or production without my permission. This helps ensure the artwork is always used in the way it was intended and maintains the quality and style of your suite. If you’d like coordinating pieces (such as signage, favors, or additional décor), I’d be glad to create those for you so everything stays consistent and beautiful.
⸻
Do you do freelance work?
Yes! I occasionally collaborate with other businesses, designers, and event planners. If you’re interested in licensing artwork, wholesale opportunities, or a collaboration, please reach out through my contact form.
⸻
What happens when I approve my proof?
Before printing, I’ll send you a digital proof for review along with a proof approval form. By signing and returning it, you confirm that all wording, spelling, and details are correct. Once a proof is approved and sent to print, I am not responsible for any errors that were overlooked. I do my best to proofread, but it’s very important that you carefully review your proof as well. Any errors discovered after printing will require a reprint at your expense.
⸻
How long will it take to receive my printed items?
Once your proofs are approved, printing typically takes about one week. From there, your order ships to me for a quality check before reaching you. If I’m mailing directly to you, please add the carrier’s shipping time to your overall timeline.
⸻
Do you offer more than what’s on your website?
Yes! My website highlights the most popular items, but I can create much more — from custom signage and favor tags to specialty paper goods and keepsakes. If you don’t see what you’re looking for, just ask. Chances are I can make it happen (or connect you with the right printer).
⸻
Can you print my files if I already have a design?
At this time, I only print items designed by me to ensure the best quality and consistency.
⸻
What if I need a rush order?
Rush orders are sometimes possible depending on my calendar and printer timelines. Please contact me as soon as possible if you’re working with a short deadline, and I’ll let you know your options.
