General
Pretty fast! Allow around 2 weeks to receive your stationery from the day you place your order. This assumes you approve your design proofs quickly. We aim for a fast turnaround on all our orders.

Yes, you can order samples to check the look and feel of the paper, envelopes and print quality. You can order a wedding invitation sample set from any of our design collections. Simply select the sample option on any wedding invitation suite and purchase, and we’ll mail a sample to you the next business day. Our sample set includes a wedding invitation, details card and RSVP card, with envelopes and a paper belly band and envelope liner. Our sample sets are non-personalized and are printed with generic text. An ink color options card is also included, to let you see the available colors when printed.
Providing more notice is usually better than less! Aim to send your save the dates around 6-12 months before your wedding day. For destination weddings around 12 months’ notice is usual. For your wedding invitations, it depends on whether you are sending a save the date first. If you send a save the date first, you can send your wedding invites much closer to your wedding day, typically 3 months before your big day. If you don’t send a save-the-date, then at least six months lead time is advisable. Set your RSVP deadline around 4 weeks prior to your wedding day, for final counts.

Order Process
We’ve designed our process to be as streamlined as possible for our customers:
- Place an order on our website
- Complete the form we send you with your details
- We’ll prepare your stationery and send you a digital proof (see ‘what is proofing’ below) within a couple of business days for you to approve.
- If you need to make any changes, let us know on the form we provide, and we’ll send you another proof for you to approve (three rounds of proofs are included with your order, a fee of $25 is applied for any additional rounds required).
- Once you are happy with your proof, we’ll ask you to approve your order for printing. We won’t print without your proof approval. As soon as we receive your proof approval, your order is sent to print
- When printing is complete, your order will be shipped and we’ll provide you with a tracking number
- That’s it! The faster you approve your proof, the faster printing will begin and the faster you’ll receive your order.
Proofing refers to the process of creating a preliminary version before printing begins. This ‘proof’ allows customers to review their order, containing their own text, to ensure everything is free of errors. It’s your opportunity to correct any errors in the text you have supplied, for example typos or misspellings, before printing begins. The proofing process is completely digital. It is best to view your proofs on a large screen, such as a laptop or desktop computer, we don’t recommend viewing your proofs on a mobile device.
Simply browse the collections on our website, add those items you wish to purchase to your cart, and purchase. You can choose to provide your text and color choices at the time you order, or you can fill in the form we send you as soon as we receive your order. Be sure to provide a valid email address when ordering.

However, if you have specific requirements, please email us before ordering and we will let you know the options available for you to receive your order as quickly as possible. Additional costs may apply.
You can make changes to an existing order at any point of the proofing process, until you have provided your approval to print. After giving your approval, your order is sent to print immediately, so it is not possible to make any changes to your existing order after that point. You can make a new order on our website at any time. See also ‘Can I change my order to a different design’ below.
If you wish to change to a different design after receiving your first proof, you can do this, however this proof will count as one of the three complimentary proofing rounds included with your order.
Yes, a digital copy of each of your stationery items will be retained for twelve months, so you can order extra copies. Simply email us with your requirements. Our advice is to order more than you need when you make your first order, as a contingency.
Order Personalization
You can personalize the wording and ink colors. As well as adding your own names and wedding details to your stationery, you can amend the other generic text if you wish. We can suggest other wording if required, please just ask if you need help with this. Our available ink options are provided with each product listing on our website. You can provide your wording and color choices when ordering, or by completing the form we send you by email as soon as we receive your order.
Our fonts are part of our designs and have been specifically chosen for the design. We don’t offer font changes for this reason, however if you wish to change to a different design after receiving your first proof you can do this, see ‘Can I change my order to a different design’ above.
All of our products are created at standard sizes used in the wedding and printing industry. We don’t offer additional paper sizes or signage sizes.
Luxury isn’t just visual, it’s also how it feels in your hand, so we only select papers which meet our strict criteria.

Yes, send us the QR code you wish us to use, and we will add this. There are many online sites that allow you to create and download a QR code (tip: if you purchase a ‘dynamic’ QR code you can usually change the URL that the QR code points to, should you need to make any changes after your wedding stationery is printed).
Our wedding programs have backside printing as standard, due to the nature of the product. We can provide this for our other products for an additional cost, if required. Please contact us before ordering, to arrange this.
We can provide this if our design schedule allows, however we would provide you with a specific price quotation for this, based on one of our existing designs that you wish to use. Bear in mind that the timescales for production will be longer, due to the nature of this type of printing. Due to the significant amount of additional time involved, it is also significantly more expensive.

We only offer printed stationery; none of our products are available digitally.
All of our stationery has been designed using fonts that primarily support English language characters. Many fonts also support other western language characters; however, not all do, so please email us before ordering to check if your desired language (other than English) is supported in the design you wish to order.
Assembly
All items are provided separately. For example, invitations and envelopes are separate, and you will need to put the invitations in envelopes yourself. Some items will need to be folded and are provided scored, to make this easy to do.
If you purchase a wedding invitation suite with a belly band and envelope liner, you will need to assemble these. We recommend purchasing an adhesive fixing (glue dots etc.) from a craft store (physical or online) to secure your belly bands. Envelope liners will require to be inserted into your envelopes. You can choose to use an adhesive fixing to bond the liner to your envelopes if you wish, although it is not necessary.
