Congratulations on your engagement, and thank you for your interest in our wedding invitations!
Ordering Invitations is a smooth and hassle free process. We will attend to your needs to get your custom order completed perfectly and on time when you order online or place your order in person.
Since all of our work is custom, the turnaround time is 4-6 weeks from the time you approve the wording. If your wedding date is fast approaching and you require a “rush” service, we can try to accommodate your schedule.
Step 1- Make an Appointment
Before your consultation appointment a free wording priliminary template will be developed for you. This helps in determining what size your papers should be. At your consultation you select the papers and style desired for your invitation. For internet orders a paper sample will be mailed to you.We will help you to incorporate your bridal party colors in a tastful and elegant designif desired.
Step 2-Place your Order
Once you place your order, the process is as follows:
We will create an electronic proof of your invitations in your desired font and style so that you can take a look at what will be printed and make an necessary corrections before we send the order to print. We will include all details regarding your order (ie, paper colour, quantity, etc.) You will carefully Review theproof Make sure all items in wording such as names, addresses, times and places are spelt correctly. Review the invitation details that describe your order.
Send us back as many changes as you require to make your invitation perfect and we will send back the corrected proof for review! (Quantities of the invitations can be changed up until the time you are ready to send to print).
Once you are satisfied with the wording and details, send us a formal ‘Approval to Print’ instruction via email. If you need to change the quantity, you will need to notify us at this time.
At this point, your invitations will be sent off to print – no further changes will be allowed.
From this point, your invitations will be ready in 4 weeks or earlier if it is possible. Please contact us to setup a pickup date and time! If you require delivery of your invitations, please allow up to 5 business days for shipping.
