    I've been in this exact situation before. In the end, there is absolutely NO WAY you'll match that template-based system she wants to order. Not if you want to be compensated AT ALL for your design work. In the end, the printing (letterpress) alone is about as much as the template design delivered.

    You can simply explain to the bride/groom that you can provide original work that nobody else will have, and it will be nicer than anything online, or they can have the template. But, the original design work from you, while magnitudes better from design and personality, will cost more. It's that simple.

    Let them decide, but don't try to force your work into an unrealistic budget.

    • don't work anymore, at all, until they have made a final decision...trust me, the mother doesn't care about designmonospaced
