Custom Invitations and Stationery
Frequently Asked Questions...
How far in advance do I need to place my order?
We should begin the design process as soon as you have confirmed your event date, time and location.
Invitation design and assembly should be completed at least three weeks before your mailing date.
The design process for wedding invitations should start sooner than other stationery projects.
It is customary to send wedding invitations 6 – 8 weeks prior to the wedding date, so please contact us to begin wedding invitation design as soon as the details have been finalized… the earlier we start working together, the more time we’ll have to arrive at a design that is everything you want it to be... actually, our goal is to exceed your expectations. :-)
Do you accept rush orders?
We are more than happy to accept orders on short notice – provided that our current projects allow enough time to complete your order.
Additional fees may apply. Please contact us to discuss rush orders.
Do you assemble and address the invitations?
Assembly fees are included in the price quote.
We offer two address services
~ Clear, laser printed labels in a script or calligraphy font
(recommended for rush orders)
~ Handwritten calligraphy – a very nice touch, and proper wedding etiquette
What is the charge for calligraphy?
The charge is $1.50/outer envelope and $0.50/inner envelope (wedding invitations often have double envelopes).
