Frequently Asked Questions
Where can I find pricing for save the dates, invitations and more?
With our wedding invitations being custom, we will send your pricing to you after your free consultation.
When should I place my order for Save the Dates?
Typically we advise our clients to mail save the dates 6-8 months out, but sometimes 10-12 months out if the majority of guests are required to travel by air. If you plan to digitally print your save the dates, you can place your order a month before you need them in-hand. If you plan to letterpress or foil your save the dates, you’ll need to place your order 6-8 weeks before needing them in-hand.
In-hand means they deliver to you at that point. Remember to pillow in some time after they deliver to you for addressing (if you are not ordering guest address printing from us), stuffing, stamping, and mailing.
*If you plan to order custom artwork or a custom monogram with your save the date, remember this will add a minimum of 1 week to the standard 7 business day proofing time.
When should I order my Wedding Suite
If you mailed a save the date, your wedding invitation suite will mail 6-8 weeks prior to your wedding date. If you plan to digitally print your suite, you can place your order a month and a half before you need them in-hand. If you plan to letterpress or foil your suite, you’ll need to place your order 8-12 weeks before needing them in-hand.
In-hand means they deliver to you at that point. Remember to pillow in some time after they deliver to you for addressing (if you are not ordering guest address printing from us), stuffing, stamping, and mailing.
*If you plan to order custom artwork or a custom monogram with your save the date, remember this will add a minimum of 1 week to the standard 7 business day proofing time.
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 (a watercolor, drawing, or custom monogram), you’ll receive an emailed proof of the pieces you ordered within 7 business days, starting the business day after your order is placed. If you did order custom artwork with your paper pieces, a minimum of 1 additional week will be needed to create that artwork.
Do I have to place an order for my save the dates and invitation suite at the same time?
Definitely not! Most of our clients place their save the date order, mail them, and then come back to us to start their invitation order. If you do place the order for save the dates and invitations together, that’s fine too! Nothing wrong with crossing it all off your list. We’ll proof all of it together, and send it all to print at one time.
When do I order paper for the wedding day or paper for the wedding weekend?
You’ll order these pieces (programs, menus, tags, table numbers,, escort cards, etc) three weeks to a month before the wedding when you have your final text ready and approved for these pieces.
Can I add a custom venue watercolor or drawing to any suite?
Absolutely! You can add a watercolor to your save the date, or a drawing to your invitation. You can also add envelope liners to your order and have us place custom artwork on those!
How do I know how many suites or save the dates to order?
Remember that many of your guests live together because they are married. You’ll want to count households, not heads, when deciding how many to order. We sell our suites and save the dates in increments of 25, starting at 50. We ALWAYS recommend ordering extra suites so you have a clean copy for photography on your wedding day, several clean suites for keepsakes, and of course one to frame for yourself! So if you need to mail 105 suites, go ahead and place an order for 125. You won’t regret this, and we promise, you’ll be adding more to that 105 being mailed.
