How do I redeem a Gift Voucher or use a Voucher Code?

As we only 'print on demand', any offers from us are genuine discounts on your selected stationery - we don't host 'sales'.

To use a gift voucher, or assigned voucher code: when you have chosen and formatted your order, at the checkout page you will see below the details of your order the words, ' if you have a promotion code please enter it here'.

Enter your code in the box provided, then click 'Submit' and your discount will be reflected in the order.

How do I unsubscribe?

You can unsubscribe from our newsletter at anytime, by following the link at the bottom of the newsletter. Click on this and follow the steps, and you will then no longer receive any marketing information from HoneyTree Publishing Ltd.

If however you are a customer and have ordered a product, we do not allow you to unsubscribe from order confirmation emails and dispatch emails, as you need to have this information.

How do I view proofs and my order history?
How far in advance should we order our wedding stationery?

Our turnaround time for your bespoke order is five weeks,  but don't forget, you will then have to address and send your invitations, so please allow yourself enough time!

 

It is advisable to order your wedding stationery in good time, particularly if you are planning a summer or Christmas wedding. It is suggested that invitations are sent out 10-12  weeks in advance of the day, and we prefer six weeks to complete your order. Therefore, you should think about ordering your stationery approx. four months in advance of your 'Big Day'.

 

(And don't forget, you may need to allow yourself extra postage time for overseas invitations!)

How many invitations should I order?

Remember when ordering your stationery that although you may be inviting 80 guests you will not need 80 invitations. Lots of your guests will be couples who can be given one invitation, as can families who live at the same address. However, it is a good idea to order a few extra day and/or evening invitations to allow for any mistakes when addressing them. You may also find that some of your guests may be unable to attend and so you should have some extra invitations to hand so that you can invite people on your reserve list.

The same 'contingency rules' apply for Save The Date Cards, RSVP Cards and Thank You Cards. Also there may be people who you know will be unable to attend, but who would still appreciate the thought of receiving an invitation.

Order accuracy and grammatical conventions

There are many differing grammatical conventions, and also many things that are not grammatically correct, but which are acceptable in modern English parlance. We cannot make a judgement call on behalf of customers because the idea of what is "acceptable" varies so widely. We take no responsibility for the choices customers make, nor are we obligated to contact a customer to "double check" their information. Therefore, please enter your information carefully and check an outside source if you have any questions on grammar, spelling, punctuation etc.

What happens after I have placed my order - dispatch

When you have placed an order, you will automatically receive a confirmation e-mail, which will clearly show your order number. If you do not receive this e- mail, please check your SPAM FILTER.  You will receive a further notification e-mail when your order has been dispatched.

UK orders are sent by Royal Mail Tracked 48hrs™ . All our items are unable to fit through a letterbox so need to be received at the address provided. (If you are out they will leave a slip to notify you of the Royal Mail collection point that you must visit within 7 days of receipt). We recommend a work address for delivery if you are not at home during the day. Royal Mail aim to deliver all UK mail within 2 working days but this cannot be guaranteed. 

 

Europe and Worldwide: These orders are dispatched by DHL international courier. On dispatch of your order a tracking code will be sent to your provided email to enable to to monitor the status of your stationery.

As all orders are Bespoke items  (printed on demand) we need to track and trace all orders that leave our studios.  Due to several years experince in 'attempting to work with local overseas postal networks' we believe the outstanding service that DHL provide to our European and Worldwide shoppers best represents our commitment to outstanding delivery of a premium quality product. 

If delivery cannot be made to your address for reasons under our control we will inform you as soon as possible and refund or re-credit you for any sum that has been paid by you or debited from your credit card for delivery.

What happens if I duplicate my order by mistake?

If you find you have duplicated your order by mistake (this will be apparent as you will receive more than one confirmation e-mail), you can cancel the duplicated order as long as you contact Customer Services by e-mail team@honeytreepublishing.com and let us know as soon as possible.

What is the last stage of the order process before I actually confirm payment?

Once your basket has an item in it, it is clearly displayed, including the illustration (if chosen). At this point there is an edit facility that enables you to go back if needed. Only once you click SUBMIT are you entering the payment gateway.

What is your minimum order for Wedding Invitations and Personalised invitations

Due to these items being personalised and date specific, our minimum order requirement is 20 for Wedding Invitations and 15 for Personalised InvitationsThereafter, all invitations can be ordered individually, giving you the freedom to choose exactly how many you want.

Why am I being asked to verify my card details?

If you have a Visa (including Visa Delta, and Visa Electron) or Mastercard (including Maestro and Solo) you may be asked to verify your card through a service called 'Verified by Visa' (Visa Customers) or 'Mastercard Securecode' (Mastercard Customers) without leaving the HoneyTreePublishing.com site.  The details entered at this stage are never seen by HoneyTreePublishing.com and are verified independently by your bank.  This process is simply to maximise the security of your transaction, by verifying the identity of both our site and you and your card.  For more details on this process, please visit the relevant Visa or Mastercard pages, through the links below:
