Our wedding invitation guide has been set up to help you understand our semi-custom collections and the process of building your suite. We recommend referring back to this guide when purchasing your suite and filling out your information.
THE PROCESS

2.Inquire
Submit an inquiry form and make sure to include all applicable information. From here we can setup a call to chat about your options or we can connect over email if preferred.
3.Recieve a proposal
After we connect you will receive a custom proposal based on your personal needs. From here you will be able to select what you would like to move forward with and select your preferred payment plan.
4.Book Our Services
Once you submit your final selections you will receive an invoice + contract with your deposit and following payment schedule. Once your deposit and contract is submitted you will officially be on our schedule!
Printing Method
digital
Digital printing is used to create a flat and smooth finish on all of our stationery pieces.
letterpress
Letterpress printing is a process where a plate covered in ink is used to make an impression in paper creating a beautiful and textured finish.
foil
Foil printing uses the same process as letterpress but instead of ink a metallic foil sheet is used. It adds a beautiful shine to any suite.

Proofing Process
The proofing process can go as fast or slow as you would like it too. Once you place your order you will receive an email within one business day containing a link and password to your customized webpage. This is the link you can refer to all the way to shipment. Once we receive all of your information (including guest addressing if applicable) you can expect your proofs within 5 business days. After your first proof you have three complimentary edit rounds to your suite to make any changes.
Production Approval
Please be aware that once we receive proof approval no changes can be made to your suite. This includes wording, envelope colors etc. We highly recommend sharing your proofs with friends & family to have a fresh pair of eyes check for any errors.
Design Aspects
When purchasing a semi-custom suite all design aspects must remain intact. The design you see will simply be changed to your information. For example no borders, monograms or wreaths can be added to a design that does not already have it. If you are interested in combining suites please reach out before your purchase is made. (the only exception is response cards which can have meal selections etc added.)
Return & Cancellation Policy
Because of the customization of our products we do not offer returns, cancellations or exchanges on any products.
Refunds Due to Error
If there is an error on the invitation due to customer fault there is nothing we can do. Regardless of how the error occurred it is the clients responsibility to check all proofs for errors. Once we receive approval there is nothing we can do however we do offer discounted reprints for these mistakes.
If there is an error to your invitation that has been caused by us we offer complimentary reprints free of charge!
tips
When placing your order make sure to order a few extra sets. You will want extras to be framed as well as to have your photographer take photos. Additionally it is very costly to have to come back and print a small batch.
(Please note the minimum order for letterpress is 50 even for small batches)
2. When filling out your excel form for guest addressing make sure to type it out exactly as you would like it to appear.
Ex. Typing out North Carolina vs using the abbreviation NC
3. If you are extending a guest seat to someone that you are intending for a specific significant other make sure to address it as such.
Ex. Using Mr. Grant Parker & Guest
vs.
Mr. Grant Parker and Ms. Lily Black
