Frequently Asked Questions

How do I view pricing?

  1. Click the save the date or invitation suite you like.
  2. On that item's page, you will see options to select quantity, paper ply, and printing method (if applicable.
  3. Once you input your choice for each field, the price will calculate below, just above the "add to cart" button.

Digital printing on single ply paper is most cost effective. A higher quantity, double ply paper, or the selection of letterpress will increase your cost.

Click Personalize when you want to move forward with your order form.

Some items, such as new artwork, address printing, and other optional add-ons, are listed separately. Add each item to your cart to see your order total. Proceed to checkout once you have everything you want added to your cart.

How do I know how many Save the Dates and/or Invitations to order?

Count households, not heads, when deciding how many to order.

Remember that many of your guests live together because they are married or part of the same family. Only ONE invitation is needed per household, with the exception of adult roommates or adult children living at home, as they should each receive their own invitation.

We sell our suites and save the dates in increments of 10, starting at 30. We always want our clients to have 10-15 extra suites, so you have a clean copy for photography on your wedding day, several clean suites for keepsakes, and a few extra in case any are returned to you or you have any late additions because you realized you forgot someone.

When should I order Save the Dates?

As soon as you have a confirmed date at your wedding venue, a wedding website address (if applicable), and your engagement photo (if you plan to include), go ahead and order your save the dates.

We would rather you have these in hand and mail them a month or two later, than stress about them being late or waiting for them to arrive so you can mail them out the next day. Please also keep in mind that if you plan on adding custom artwork, this could add 3-6 weeks or more to the timeline.

When should I mail Save the Dates?

Save the dates have a wide range for acceptable mailing.

If you are planning an international wedding, or a wedding that requires more than half of your guests to book a flight and make hotel arrangements, mail save the dates as soon as possible. This may be 10 months to 2 years in advance.

If the majority of your guests are local to the wedding venue, or can drive to the wedding venue, you may mail save the dates 6-8 months in advance of your wedding date.

If you are planning a short engagement, save the dates may be mailed as late as four months prior to the wedding date.

When do I order my Invitations?

We strongly encourage ordering invitations as soon as your details are finalized, in an effort to keep this process as enjoyable and stress-free as possible.

If you plan to order custom artwork with your suite, and/or order a letterpress suite, please order no later than two months prior to your mail date.

If your suite does not include custom artwork, and is digitally printed, please order no later than 1 month from your mail date.

When should I mail my Invitations?

Invitations should mail 8-10 weeks prior to your wedding date.

If you did not mail a save the date, if you are inviting large number of international guests, or if your wedding is abroad, invitations can mail as early as 16 weeks before the wedding date.

Unless you have a unique situation with an A and B list, plan on asking guests to RSVP about 4 weeks before the wedding. If guests are RSVPing through a website, then 3 weeks before the wedding is sufficient, as you don't need to factor in postal transit time for the RSVPs.

TIP: Be sure to also check with your venue and caterer when they need the final counts, just in case they need it sooner.

Can I mix printing methods and paper options within my suite?

We do not recommend mixing print methods as this can introduce mismatched colors, as different printing methods will never perfectly match.

Save the Dates may be a completely different print method if you wish. We commonly have clients order digital printing for these, and save letterpress for invitations.

Do I have to place an order for my save the dates and invitation suite at the same time?

No! Most of our clients place their save the date order, mail them, and then come back to start their invitation order.

Can I add a custom watercolor or drawing to my invitation?

Absolutely! Most of our save the date and invitation designs can accommodate a custom watercolor or drawing. You must book the artwork with the save the dates or invitations as artwork is not sold separately.

Remember that custom artwork requires 3+ weeks to create (sometimes up to 8 weeks during our busy season). If you are using a painting or drawing we have on file, you will not add any additional time to your process.

Do you offer digital files for my wedding website?

In order to protect our work, we do not offer any digital files. All digital proofs and artwork will be watermarked.

After ordering, what will the process to look like from that point?

Once your order is placed, we get started immediately! If you did not order custom artwork, you’ll receive digital proofs within 7 business days (often sooner). If your order included new custom artwork, an additional 3+ weeks will be needed to create that artwork and send you the proofs. If you have concerns about the timing of new artwork, feel free to send us a message and ask how long our current art queue is.

Your order includes 3 sets of proofs (that's two rounds of revisions after the initial proofs). Once you have given your approval, we will finalize the files and release them to print that day.

Digital printing requires 1-2 weeks before shipping, and letterpress requires 4-6 weeks before shipping.

We will never ever send your order to print without your approval.
