YOUR INVITE QUESTIONS

 

I realise that you must have lots of questions about your wedding stationery so I hope the below questions and answers are helpful. Just shout if there's anything else I can do to help.

 

 

I'm sure what I want to have on my invitations, can you help?

​

Yes, of course. The best thing to do is to get yourself a pen and paper and decide what you definitely want on your wedding invitations but also what you definitely don't want. Then, go onto Pinterest and pin away under these two categories. From here you will see a pattern emerging. Also, remember you don't need an exact colour theme, sometimes just knowing that you would prefer darker colours over lighter colours or brighter colours instead of pastels is perfect. 

​

What to include in a wedding invitation?

 

Wedding invitations need to include lots of vital information for guests attending your wedding.

 

You’ll need to include:

  • Your names

  • The wedding date and time

  • The location 

  • An RSVP date

  • Details about gifts

  • How to find your venue, if it is tricky

  • Where to park cars, if this isn't obvious, and when to pick them up the following day

  • Anything else your guests will need to know

​

​

I don't know how to word my invitations, can you help?

​

You can word your invitations in a playful, relaxed way, a formal way or something in-between the two. If you’d like help with wording, I’d be delighted to help. I’ve also put together a Complete Wording Guide, packed with helpful examples, which you can purchase here​. The guide is complimentary for all of my bespoke clients, but it’s also available to purchase separately.

​

What is the process for designing wedding invitations? 

​

Budget (House Design) Process

Please get in touch to talk through your order via email or phone, or you can book a complimentary video call to chat face-to-face. Following this, I’ll send you a quote.

​

Once your payment has been made, you’ll receive my terms and conditions to sign via a simple online form. As soon as that’s completed, your order is officially booked in.

​

You’ll receive up to three digital proofs to review and request any edits, ensuring everything is perfect. Once you’re happy, I’ll send your design to print, and your save the dates will arrive on your doorstep within two weeks.

​

Bespoke Invitation Design Process

  1. First, we’ll sit down with a nice drink and have a good talk about what you’re looking for. Booking a complimentary video call means I can answer any questions you may have and guide you where needed.

  2. Following our meeting, I’ll calculate the cost of your invitations and send over a detailed quote.

  3. Once your 50% deposit has been paid and my online terms and conditions have been signed, your order is officially booked in. Happy days!

  4. I’ll then create three concept designs, allowing you to see how your invitations could look with different layouts, fonts, and wording. You can choose your favourite concept to move forward with.

  5. After the concept stage, you’ll receive up to three additional proof rounds to refine the design and ensure everything is perfect for you and your partner.

  6. Once finalised, I’ll send your design to print.

  7. Your wedding invitations will arrive on your doorstep within two weeks.

​

How long does it take to design a wedding invitation?


Wedding Invitations normally take around 1-2 months to completely design, print and deliver, however I have delivered some within a couple of weeks. Get in touch for more info. I do get very busy so it always better to get me booked in early rather than hearing I'm fully booked! 

 

I'm not from the UK, can I still have my wedding invitations designed by you? 

​

Yes, of course! I have designed stationery for couples all over the country as well as aboard. All proofs are sent by PDF.

 

Can I get a printed proof? 

 

Yes, however printed proofs are on request and should be requested at the quote stage. 

​

What different cards can I print my wedding invitations onto?

 

There are hundreds of different card choices available. To narrow down the choices, I offer three options: smooth, sandy textured and textured; however, if you would like to look into other cards I would be happy to explore this with you. Contact me for further information. 

 

I'm not sure about quantities, can I still get a quote?

 

Absolutely! If you’re unsure about exact quantities, you can still request a quote.

 

Simply send me an approximate number, and we can adjust your quote later in the process once your final numbers are confirmed. Remember, you’ll need the number of households attending your wedding — not the total number guests invited.

 

How is the quote calculated? 

 

For bespoke invitations, quotes are calculated on a bespoke design rate, plus the number of pages needed. This is then added to a printing price, an envelopes, and any additional extras orders, such as ribbons, envelope liners, etc. plus the delivery quote. More info on prices here.
