The proof option will be available before you are taken to the checkout page. Only once this has been confirmed will we then schedule to print. We also do offer the customer the option for a hard proof which we will send through the post, on orders such as Wedding Invites etc if the customer requests it.
Do you send Wedding samples?
On our wedding stationery we send a sample of your chosen illustration, card type, font and font colour & envelopes. We charge for this bespoke order, but should you then choose to order, we deduct this from the order total.
How do I redeem a Voucher code?
As we only 'print on demand', any offers from us are genuine discounts on your selected stationery - we dont host 'sales'. To use a gift voucher, or assigned voucher code. When you have chosen and formatted your order, at the checkout page below the details of your order you will see ' If you have a promotion code please enter it here' text and a box for your code. Then click Submit and your discount will be reflected in the order.
How far in advance should we order our wedding stationery?
Our turnaround time for your bespoke order is 8 -10 days, but then you have to address and send them.
It is advisable to order your Wedding Stationery well in advance, particularly if you are planning a summer wedding. It is suggested that invitations are sent out 6 weeks before the day and we prefer 6 weeks to complete your order. Therefore, you should think about ordering your stationery 3 months in advance of your Big Day.rsvp date is 2 wks before your 'I do date'.
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 in the same house. It is also a good idea to order a few extra day and evening invitations to allow for any mistakes when addressing them. You may also find that one of your guests may be unable to attend and so you should have extra cards. The same rules apply for Save The Day Cards, Reply Cards and Thank You Cards. Also there may be people who you know shall be unable to attend but would still appreciate the thought of receiving an invitation.
