FAQ

Do you have a catalog or a brochure you can send me?
Due to our constantly evolving designs, we do not issue a printed catalog.
All of our current products can be viewed on our website.
 


How far in advance should I order my invitations?
We recommend at least four months in advance. However, it's best to place your order as soon as the venue location, times, and dates are finalized to avoid the seasonal rush.


How long will my order take?
Contempo Collection: 4-5 weeks for production after the client approval.
Moda Collection: 3-4 weeks for production after the client approval.
Handmade Invitations: 3-5 weeks for production after the client approval.


When should I mail out my wedding invitations?

Invitations should be sent out 6-8 weeks before the wedding. Destination weddings or holiday weddings can be mailed out 10-12 weeks before the wedding.


I don't have much time. Do you do rush orders?
Yes, we can accommodate most rush orders depending on the quantity and the invitation style. Rush orders are shipped within two weeks after the client approval.  There is a 15% rush charge for the Contempo & Moda Collection and 25% rush charge for the Handmade Invitations.


How much postage will the invitations require?
It depends on the size and the weight of your invitation set. Always weigh the complete invitation set at the post office to determine exact postage. Note that square envelopes will require higher postage. Also, ask the post office to hand cancel the invitations to avoid postage marks and to prevent smears.
Please note on May 12, 2009, the first-class mail stamp will increase to $.44. You can view the complete postage pricing on the following link: http://www.usps.com/prices/


What printing methods do you offer?
Most of our invitations are printed in offset lithography (flat printing) on a commercial press.  Digital printing method is used for our 80lb recycled paper stock.


Can I choose my own ink colors for the invitations?
Yes, absolutely! Our Contempo & Moda Collection is designed to be tailored with your own color selections.
You may choose to combine any of these colors to coordinate with your wedding color scheme.


Can I customize the layout from one of the Contempo designs?
Yes, you may modify any of our designs by alternating colors, adding images (monograms, motifs, and design elements), changing the size, etc. Let us know what you have in mind and we will work with you to create your customized invitation.


Can I change a two color invitation into a one color invite?
Yes, any of our two color invites such as the Monogram, can be changed into a one color invitation. If you are interested, let us know and we can give you a quote.


Can both sides of the invite be printed?
Yes, we can print any of the invitations on both sides, whether it be text and/or color. We also commonly do this for bilingual invitations.


What color are your envelopes?
Our invitation design styles come with standard white or ivory envelopes. However, you can upgrade to color envelopes in 12 designer colors. Please note that the color envelopes are only available with a single outside envelope (no inner envelope will be provided). Please view the envelope colors page for color swatches.


Can I see the different paper swatches?
Yes, with any invitation sample order, you may request sample cardstock swatches at no additional cost.


Can these announcements be used for other events besides wedding invitations?
Absolutely! Any of our invitations can be used for engagements, birthdays, bat mitzvahs, baby showers or birth announcements.
