• Purchase the invitation or suite by selecting quantities and paper type. 

(It’s recommended to add 10-15% extra for last-minute guest list additions and keepsakes before placing your order.)

​

We require a minimum order of 25 cards.

Our pre-designed cards and sets are available in increments of 25. For international orders, we can only accept orders in increments of 25.

Customers located in the United States can place orders in increments of 5. If you'd like to order in these smaller increments, please don't hesitate to contact us. We will create a manual invoice tailored to your specific order request.

​

• Submit your custom details: 

Please provide the exact wording you would like to appear on all stationery selected, as well as color preferences and any extra pertinent details. 

Please do NOT use UPPERCASE throughout the text, rather use capitalization only when grammatically correct (pronoun, proper nouns, etc.).

 

• Any additional design fees associated with your order (custom illustrations, font changes, several color change rounds, foreign language, etc.) are payable in advance 

​

• REQUIREMENTS for custom illustrations:

We do rely on you to provide us with the photograph(s) needed to create the artwork(s), and it is our goal to establish the desired artwork in the very first sample. If new reference photos are provided after the first artwork sample is created requiring a new design direction/changing anything, additional design fees are applicable.

Due to the nature of this artwork and the amount of time needed to create it, your work will be based on ONE image only. We cannot redo your work with a second photo after sending your proof. Please be sure to send the photo you'd like us to use before we begin working. If you send multiple photos and allow me to choose the one to use, please know that I will choose the best option and cannot change this choice after creating your proof.

 

For each illustration, you would need to provide us with ONE big (high-resolution) and clear picture of the subject. We cannot change the perspective or the proportion of the subject (venue, landscape, so please send a photo accordingly.

 

• Select the other parts of the invitation suite that you would require for your invitations.

Complete the purchase

• You'll receive your first digital proof in 2-5 business days after payment and all wording, instruction, and photo(s)

(if applicable) received.

•  There are two minor revision rounds included, conditions apply. Additional proofs will be charged $40 each.

• All proofing is done via digital files sent to your email address.

Please note that texture is not showing on the digital proofs and as the proofs are not actual photographs of your final product, therefore a slight difference is expected due to the paper stock.
