Frequently Asked Questions

How much does it cost?
Each Brand-in-a-Box™ is value-priced at $399.00 and there is no tax, and no hidden fees. And since we deliver your Brand-in-a-Box™ digital files to you electronically, there's no shipping either.

How many logo designs do I get?
Each Brand-in-a-Box™ comes with one logo design as shown for the business name associated with it.

Can I make changes to my logo design or colors?
After you purchase a Brand-in-a-Box™ from Dallas Wedding Planner you can make any changes you feel are necessary on your own. To do this, we recommend you hire a professional graphic designer.

Do you offer custom logo designs?
Custom logo design is not a service offered by Dallas Wedding Planner. Our ready-made Brand-in-a-Box™ designs are available as-is. If you have a vision for company and a business name in mind, we recommend hiring an advertising or marketing agency to work with you every step of the way to develop your brand.

When will I receive my Brand-in-a-Box™ files?
Once your order is processed and payment is received, you will receive a Brand-in-a-Box™ Delivery Email with complete information about your Brand-in-a-Box™ and instructions how to download your digital files. You should receive this Delivery Email within 7 to 10 business days of payment receipt, with the exception of national holidays and natural disasters. We'll do our best to get your files to you as quickly as possible so you can be on your way to building your successful wedding business.

How do I receive my Brand-in-a-Box™ once I purchase it?
Once your order is processed and payment is received, you will receive a Brand-in-a-Box™ Delivery Email with complete information about your Brand and downloading your digital files. You can download your EPS, JPG, PSD and PDF files. You have 60 days to download your digital files before they will be removed from the server.

Can I reserve a Brand-in-a-Box™ now, and pay later?
No, once you place an order for a Brand-in-a-Box™ payment must be received within 14 business days. After 14 business days, your Brand-in-a-Box™ selection will be forfeited to the next person who requested it. All inventory is first come, first serve.

What do I do next?
Once you have purchased your Brand-in-a-Box™ you are on your way to branding your wedding business. We recommend you start by registering your DBA (Doing Business As) and also registering a domain name for the future home of your business website. Once you have a website domain name and a business email account, you can proceed to find a professional printer to produce your business cards; the INDD file in your Brand-in-a-Box™ will require editing to list your website URL, email address, phone number, etc. Dallas Wedding Planner will gladly make recommendations on Dallas area printers and designers to assist you in executing your brand.

What is a DBA?
Doing Business As (DBA) is the use of a fictitious business name to trade under in business. DBA allows a person to legally do business under a different name, without have to create a completely new business entity. With DBA, you are able to advertise, accept payments and represent yourself under a fictitious name. Filing for DBA is very inexpensive and easy to accomplish. The exact rules of the name you can use vary from state to state and from country to country. Before proceeding, you should check with your local business authority. In some states, you can either use part of your name or your full name and a description of the services you provide. A DBA allows you to use a typical business name without the need for a legal entity, such as that used in a corporation or a partnership, or a limited liability company (LLC). The DBA also allows you to open up a business phone listing and a business checking account under your business name. It is the least expensive way to do business under a legal business name.

How do I register and obtain my DBA?
The process of obtaining a DBA varies from state to state. In some states, you must register your assumed name with the Secretary of State or some other state agency. Registration is also handled in some states (for instance, Texas) at the county level. Each county may have different forms and fees for registering a DBA and you may register in multiple counties. The process is quite simple; you must first search through a database to make sure the name is not in use. You then submit a form with a filing fee; this can be anywhere from 10 to 50 US dollars (USD). The correct use of a DBA can be turned into a successful branding tool for very little cost.

Can I trademark my logo?
Yes. What makes a logo unique is the combination of the symbol with the company name, its colors, and their spatial relationship. Therefore, you can trademark your logo for your company use. The trademark indicator (TM) provides notice that you are claiming rights to use the logo in connection with your products and/or services. To obtain federal registration (R), you will need to submit a trademark application to the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. Visit, uspto.gov for details on how to file a tademark application either electronically online or by mailing a paper application to the Commissioner for Trademarks. (Customers outside the United States should check local laws.)

Will the Brand-in-a-Box™ I choose remain available for others after I have selected it?
No, once you select a specific Brand-in-a-Box™ (after your order is processed and payment is received) it is permanently removed from the Dallas Wedding Planner website. Once sold to you, there will never be another Brand-in-a-Box™ sold by Dallas Wedding Planner exactly like it. However, it's up to you to use and protect your trademark after purchase. See above for information about trademarking your logo.

Why do I see a Dallas Wedding Planner watermark over the images?
Dallas Wedding Planner has a watermark over the image files to protect them from being misused by others while on display in our inventory on our website. After you purchase your Brand-in-a-Box, the files you receive will not have a Dallas Wedding Planner watermark.

How do I print my business cards?
Your Brand-in-a-Box™ comes with a logo and matching business card design, you will receive an email with instructions how to download your Brand-in-a-Box™ digital files. Follow the instructions within that email. You may download high-resolution file of your business card design to print yourself or take to a professional printer to have printed. Dallas Wedding Planner will gladly make recommendations on Dallas area printers.

What do I do with the Website Concept in my Brand-in-a-Box™?
A website design professional will be able to use the Website Concept as a basis for the design of your entire website. Take your Website Concept PSD file to them as a place from which they will build HTML pages and develop programming to create a fully-functional website to suit your needs. Dallas Wedding Planner will gladly make recommendations on Dallas area web designers and agencies.

Who do I need to hire to help me?
Once you have purchased your Brand-in-a-Box™ you are on your way to branding your wedding business. Unless you have the skills, you will need to hire someone to help you build and launch your website. Dallas Wedding Planner will gladly make recommendations on Dallas area web designers and agencies.

What is an EPS file?
An EPS file contains vector information, which means you can make it as big or small as you like without compromising print quality. It is the standard file format used by professional printers. It is the file you will need if you want to produce professional-grade print materials. NOTE: You may not be able to view the EPS version of your logo on your computer screen. Just because your EPS file displays poorly onscreen does not mean it will print badly on a printing press. Opening an EPS file requires specific software which a professional designer and printer should be able to do for you.

What software programs can open an EPS file?
Opening an EPS requires certain software, so you may not be able to view your EPS onscreen. Adobe Illustrator, Macromedia Freehand, Corel Draw and Hallogram HiJaak are common programs used to open and edit an EPS vector file.

What is a JPG file?
A JPG is a compressed image file most suitable for use with your laser printer and/or on the internet. A JPG is a much smaller resolution file than an EPS and cannot be enlarged without losing detail. Therefore it is best to print a JPG at its original size only. It should not be used for professionally printed materials, as it may appear blurred or jagged.

What is a PSD file?
A PSD file is an Adobe Photoshop file that contains layers of images and text that can be edited. It is prepared at 72 dpi for website use and best clarity for on-screen viewing. If printed, this 72 dpi file will look fuzzy because it is not intended for high-resolution printing.

What is a PDF file?
A PDF file is a Portable Document Format that enables printing and viewing of documents with all their formatting (typefaces, images, layout, etc) appearing the same regardless of what operating system is used. It was developed by Adobe and can be read using Adobe Acrobat Reader which can be downloaded free at adobe.com/products/acrobat.

How does Dallas Wedding Planner's Brand-in-a-Box™ compare to other logo sites or logo designers?
With Brand-in-a-Box™ you can be on your way to building your wedding business quickly with no drawn-out process. You get a creative business name, unified by a concept that reaches your potential clients needs, along with designs for a logo, business cards and website mockup. It's fast, easy and affordable. Having a unified image adds value to your company and helps build brand loyalty among your customers. Best of all, Dallas Wedding Planner knows the wedding industry so we create brands that we believe will resonate with Brides. Brand-in-a-Box™ designs are works of the Creative Pros at Dallas Wedding Planner, staffed with award-winning graphic designer, copywriter, and website designer. When you purchase a Brand-in-a-Box™ from Dallas Wedding Planner you're not just getting a logo, you're getting a brand from which you can build a successful wedding business.

Do I have rights to use the photos used in my Brand-in-a-Box™ designs?
Some Brand-in-a-Box designs feature photographs. These photos are the works of professional photographers. Once your order is processed and payment is received, you will receive a Brand-in-a-Box™ Delivery Email with details about who the photo belongs to so that you can obtain rights, purchase royalty-free rights, or request permission to use the image. Many wedding photographers welcome the opportunity to have their work featured on other sites as long as proper credit is given with a by-line and a link to their website. When a photographer captures images of an event you organized, try to get photos from them with permission to use them in self-promotion. Dallas Wedding Planner encourages networking with fellow wedding pros in this way to show off your best work and theirs at the same time. But as always, give credit where credit is due.

What is branding?
We're not talking about marking cattle. Branding is about envoking emotions with your customers/target audience, delivering your intended marketing message, and reinforcing the message and emotions with every contact point you have with your customers/target audience. That means, branding is not only your logo, but also how you answer your phone, how you sign your emails, and the language you use to speak about your business.
