Q. When do we need to send our invitations out?
A. Invitations need to be sent out about 2 months before the day, but it is advisable to send them out a little earlier during the summer months or any other common holiday season.
Q. Can we get 'save the date' cards?
A. Yes. I can supply 'save the date' cards to match all designs. These could be a simple postcard format similar to the RSVP postcard, or a folded card - whatever suits your requirements. Please contact me for more information.
Q. Can we get table cards for each table?
A. Yes. I can supply these to match them to your chosen design. Many couples choose table numbers, whilst others choose to give each table a name (usually following a theme). Let us know and I'll design it to your requirements. They can either be a folded tent card to sit on the table or a double sided postcard if a tall card holder is being used.
Q. Can we get a table plan?
A. Yes. I can produce table plans. Simply let me know what you have in mind and I can look at all the options. These can either be printed or created with more of a handmade feel.
Q. How soon can we get our invitations?
A. Obviously bespoke designs can take a little longer, but once the design has been finalised and the insert wording has been approved, please allow 2-3 weeks for production and delivery. If you need a quicker turnaround, please do not hesitate to ask.
Q. How many invitations do I need to order?
A. You will need one invitation per household and it's wise to order a few extra in case of last minute additions to the guest list.
Q. How can we order our order of service with our invitations, we don't know which hymns we're having at this stage?
A. Wedding stationery orders are usually ordered and delivered in 2 parts:
1st Part:
Wedding Invitations
Evening Invitations
RSVP Postcards
2nd Part:
Order of Service
Menus
Place Cards
The 2nd part are all items not needed until nearer the day. Hymns and menus are often not confirmed at the early stage and quantities are often not known until you have had your RSVP cards returned.
Thank you cards can be ordered wthin the 2nd part or after the wedding day/honeymoon, if preferred.
Q. How do I go about ordering a bespoke design?
A. Simply get in touch and let me know what you have in mind. I'll work with your ideas to come up with your final design. You can either describe your ideas in words or send (by post or email) any images you have collected from magazines, photographs, online etc and like the look of. This is often the best way of getting your ideas across. I'll then do a range of sample designs for you to choose from. Then I can do any tweaking from those to get it how you want it.
Q. Are bespoke designs priced differently to the standard design range?
A. This will be dependant on the design (mostly based on the materials used and the complexity of the design). I charge an initial design fee (from £50) for bespoke designs. When I send you your design, prices will be given then. They will only be more expensive than my standard designs if the design is more time consuming or involves more expensive materials (eg. more specialist card). If you feel more comfortable, you can let me know your budget and I can design with that in mind.
Q. Can I have my wedding stationery in a different card colour/size?
A. Yes. Just let me know what you have in mind and I'll send some card samples.
Q. What if I like the design of one card but prefer the text from another?
A. That's fine. Just let me know which elements you like from which designs and I'll create a new design for you at no extra cost.
Q. How can I make sure the insert wording is correct?
A. Proofs will be sent for the insert wording in order for you to check details and spellings. The inserts will not be printed until full approval has been given.
Q. What if I have not ordered enough?
A. Don't worry. If you need any extras of anything, that's not a problem. There is no minimum order.
Q. Can I order any samples to help me decide?
A. Yes. You can order one sample free of charge. Any further samples are charged at £5 each. If you go on to place an order, this will be deducted from your invoice. Once you've chosen which design(s) you would like a sample of, click here, fill in out online form and I'll send your requested sample(s).
Q. How much do I pay for delivery?
A. I will send your invitations out using either special delivery or a courier service where your parcel can be tracked. Delivery is charged at approx £15 per delivery. This price is given as a guide, however, and can change depending on the size of the order. Any smaller parcels would be £6 and if you were to order a few extras, these would be charged at first class postage rates.
Q. When do I pay for my stationery?
A. Once everything has been chosen and approved and you have placed your order, I will send an invoice for 30% of the order as a deposit. Upon receipt, I will produce your invitations, then send an invoice for the balance amount. Your order will be despatched as soon as payment has been received.
