faq's 

how much do invitations cost?

with the wide variety of options, it is very difficult to answer this question. the final cost is determined by the type of paper, printing method, quantity, color choices, whether or not additional pieces will be included, etc.  no matter what your budget, we encourage you to sit down and talk to us.  we will be glad to work with you on getting a product you love at a price you love.

 

when should i order my invitations?

once you have decided on the event details for your wedding, it is best to begin the design process.  while turnaround times are dependent on which company you choose to work with, you should plan on a minimum of 3 - 4 weeks for design and production (this timeline does not include shipping, which can add an additional 5 - 7 days).  

 

how many invitations should i order?

when counting your guest list, remember to count only the households to which you will be sending an invitation.  for example, you may have 150 individuals on your list however, because most of those are likely couples you would only have 75 households to send invitations to.  we do recommend that you order at least 5 - 10% extra.  while reorders are possible, they can be expensive.

 

do i need a response card?

in order to get an accurate count of guests attending your wedding, you will need a response card.  the return date requested on your response card should be 2 - 4 weeks prior to your wedding date.  when choosing a date, remember that you may have to follow up with guests that may not have responded.  as a result, allow yourself ample time to square away your attendee list prior to the deadline given to you by your caterer/event captain. 

 

how much does it cost to mail my invitations?

each wedding invitation is different.  as such, we recommended that you take an assembled invitation to the post office to determine the proper postage.  non-standard formats such as square shaped envelopes, oversized envelopes, boxes/scrolls will require extra postage.  also, don't forget to add postage to your response card!
