1 – What is the creative process behind the invitations?
1st. REQUEST A QUOTE
During your first contact, tell me what you have in mind, details you like and what is essential. Include, if possible, specific information, such as the date, number of guests and location. These indications (schedule, volume of parts and geographic distance) may have an impact on value and availability.
If your ideas are still very open but you understand the importance of this item and have already allocated a value to it, this could be the starting point and I will propose options that are, from now on, aligned in price and expectations.
Use the contact form to ensure there is no missing information, you can find it here.
Within 48 working hours, I will contact you with an estimated quote.
If you do not receive my proposal within this period, look for it in your spam folder or, especially for Gmail users, in the advertising tab.
2nd.FIRST PAYMENT
After the initial consultation, we will have a detailed conversation over the phone, video call or in person, to discuss your project in detail. The special nature of this celebration calls for proximity and the tactile characteristics of my work come to life when it lands in your hands.
At this meeting we defined ideas and a work schedule.
To move to the next phase, the order request must be activated with a 50% payment of the budget amount. You can pay in person in cash or by bank transfer
In the case of orders with different delivery phases, request the values corresponding to each phase.
We would appreciate it if you could send proof of your transfer along with your billing information to: info@apajarita.com.
3rd.CREATIVE PROCESS
I begin my creative process, developing a proposal based on your expectations and recommendations.
With the delivery of the initial proposal, we will fine-tune – if necessary – the changes.
The budget presented provides for two general revisions. The following changes will be paid for, and my commitment and focus is that we always get it right the first time!
Approximately 1-2 weeks the first proposal will be sent.
4th. FROM DREAM TO HAND
After the digital prototype´s approval, we do a copy of the physical of the invitation.
This copy will remain in the studio and it will serve as a guide in the production of the requested copies.
If you can’t come and see it in person, we will send photos.
I am waiting for the final payment to move on to the next phase.
5th. PRODUCTION AND DELIVERY
From here, I produce the requested quantities. Production and assembly is manual work and requires great care and dedication.
This process can take 1-3 weeks.
When everything is ready, I will contact you to schedule shipping of your order or collection at the studio.
Shipping is not included unless explicitly stated in the approved quote.
2 – STATIONERY OF THE DAY, WHERE DO WE START?
The stationery of the day will be designed following the design created for the invitations.
The image created for the invitations can be used or, as I like most, elements from it can be used to create a more dynamic stationary.
The stationery of the day can be much more complex, like different table markers or an illustration created for each piece (for the cones, the cover of the missal, the menu…).
You should let me know if this is the ideal option for you when formalizing the budget. Otherwise, creating new images costs extra.
The entire process from AWARDING to PRODUCTION AND DELIVERY, the process is the same as creating invitations*.
* We don’t make a copy of physics. It will be the same printing and Pantone colors used in the wedding invitation.

4 – WHAT IS THE PROCESS FOR CREATING WORKS OF ART?
They can access the entire process, aqui.
5 – CAN I PURCHASE THE ORIGINAL IMAGE CREATED FOR THE INVITATION/STATIONERY? AND IN DIGITAL FORMAT?
The original image, as well as its digital version, can be purchased. Please inform us of this decision before beginning the creative process, always indicating the desired size of the original artwork.
6 – WHAT TECHNIQUES ARE USED TO CREATE THE INVITATIONS/STATIONERY?
Drawing, watercolor painting, engraving, India ink, and fine art printing are some of the mediums chosen to work on high-quality paper. The result is always a small and unique work of art that tells the unique story of each couple. With texture, with color, with taste. With soul!
7 – WHAT TYPES OF CUTS DO YOU OFFER?
There are two cutting options:
- Guillotine cut, a mechanically made cut with regular edges.
- Manual cut, a cut made manually with irregular edges depending on the cotton and paper weight.
8 – SHIPPING
Shipping costs may vary as they are calculated based on the weight, dimensions, and destination of the package, as well as the value of the contents. Transit time may also vary depending on location. Delivery is normally made the day after collection (except for shipments made on Fridays or national/local holidays). We will use Nacex or CTT Expresso due to their competitive costs and reliable service.
Pajarita has no control over shipping costs or delivery times.
From 2026 onwards, we will only ship to countries within the European Union.
9 – TAXES
Pajarita will not be responsible for any import/customs taxes in the destination country. We do not receive any information about these taxes as the sender; therefore, all import/customs taxes are the responsibility of the recipient of the order.
10 – WHAT HAPPENS IF I CANCEL DURING THE CREATIVE PROCESS?
In case of cancellation, the time and materials already spent up to that point will be charged, thus relinquishing all the work already created.
11 – COPYRIGHT
The legal framework for Copyright is the “Copyright and Related Rights Code,” approved in 1985 by Decree-Law No. 63/85 of March 14, in its current wording.
“Intellectual creations in the literary, scientific, and artistic fields, expressed in any way, are considered works…”
Copyright grants the holders of intellectual creations in the literary, scientific, and artistic fields the exclusive right to dispose of their work and use it, or authorize its use by third parties, in whole or in part.
The acquisition of a work protected by copyright does not confer the right to transmit or copy it.
Therefore, images and pieces created and signed by A Pajarita and/or Alexandra Barbosa, which are used beyond the purpose for which they were acquired, are completely unauthorized by the brand and the artist in question. Similarly, I do not authorize the use of the created images, whether authored by A Pajarita or Alexandra Barbosa, to create new images using digital tools and/or Artificial Intelligence.
