FAQs
To provide some peace of mind, we have prepared this list of questions that aim to clarify the finer details and common queries surrounding the whole process.
Collections
-
Is there a minimum order?
Yes, for personalised digitally printed items there is a minimum order of 30 for each item (excluding table names/numbers/menus and signage).
For hot foil items the minimum order is 40. -
I would like the wording to be changed to a more/less formal format, can this be done?
Yes, we are happy to change wording, free of charge.
If however, you require a font or design change, again this can be done but will incur a small design fee, based on how many changes you require. -
I love a particular collection but I’m wondering if the colours can be changed?
Yes, we are happy to make colour changes to any of our collections, free of charge. The majority of our backgrounds (except when the stationery is white) are printed rather than using coloured card, so colours are easily changed/matched.
-
Does each invitation come with an envelope?
Yes, each invitation and save the date are supplied with an envelope. We have three choices of envelopes – off-white, black or brown kraft. We will confirm your preference upon your order.
-
Does each RSVP come with an envelope?
No, our RSVP’s are either designed to be used like a postcard, so all your guest needs to do is fill in the details, place a stamp in the right hand corner and pop it in the post or to include a phone number, email or wedding website address for your guests to reply to.
However, if you would prefer a RSVP with an envelope, please do get in touch and we can quote separately for this. -
Are envelope liners supplied with the envelopes?
Although some envelopes are photographed with liners, these are not included with each order. However, we are happy to provide a free DIY template for you to print your own liners, which are available upon request.
-
What colour card do you use?
For our digitally printed collections our standard card is an ever so slightly off white 320gsm card which is FSC certified. For gold foil items we usually use a luxury GF Smith colorplan card stock, in either 350gsm or 540gsm.
Vary rarely, there may be occasions (due to stock or merchant issues) that we may have to use a different card stock for a particular order. However we will always endeavour to use a card that is closest to our standard card in terms of colour, weight and being environmentally friendly.
Ordering
-
How do I make payment?
We accept two methods of payment – BACS (bank transfer) or Paypal. We will request your preference upon initial contact.
-
How long before getting married should I order my stationery?
Current turnaround times, from order to dispatch are 4-5 weeks. We advise you order your invitations four to six months before your big day. This will ensure you have enough time to confirm guest numbers if you then wish to order 2nd phase products from us (name tags, table plan etc).
We advise for on the day stationery orders to be placed at least 6 weeks before your big day.
-
How long will it be until I receive my PDF proof?
Once payment had been received, we aim to provide you with your PDF proof within five to seven working days.
-
How many invitations should I order?
Remember to add up your invitations per couple/family, rather than per guest. We also always advise ordering at least five extra invitations, as this will allow for any mistakes or if you need to invite other guests at the last minute.
-
How long should I expect to wait before hearing back once filling out a contact form/placing an order?
We aim to respond to all communications, whether that be via a contact form or email, within 48 working hours. Our working hours are 9am – 5pm Monday to Friday.
