Don’t worry if you don’t know what to say on your invitation, that’s what we’re here for.   Traditional wording, non-traditional or anything in between, we’re happy to help you come up with the perfect wording.

How many invitations do I need to order? TOP

After you have finalized your guest list, note  how many married couples you have because they get just one invitation.  You will also want to count how many single guests  you have. children over the age of 18 who still live with their parents should receive separate invitations, while children under 18 are included on the parent's invitation.
  You will want to make sure to send one to your entire bridal party, parents, grandparents and the person officiating your ceremony.  don't forget to mail yourself a wedding invitation on your wedding day. 

Can I see a proof before you print my order? TOP

A PDF proof of your invitation, program or napkin is available at your request for a small additional charge.   The PDF proof typically takes 2-3 days to receive.    

How will my order ship and what are the charges? TOP

All orders are shipped UPS Ground unless another carrier has been requested.  2 day or overnight shipping is available at an additional charge.   Shipping and handling charges depend on your zip code but will be approximately 5% of the order.

What type of printing method do you use TOP

You have the choice of several different printing methods.  The most popular are Engraving, Thermography and Letterpress.

 

Engraving  is an older, more traditional method of printing.   a metal plate engraved with your text will stamp the lettering  into the paper from behind.  This creates the raised lettering on the front and an impression on the back of the paper.     

 

 Thermography is the most popular method used today and less expensive than engraving..  It creates raised lettering on the front with no impression on the back of the paper
