Timings

Save the dates give your guests plenty of opportunity to include your wedding day into their diary.

Save the Dates are usually sent out up to one year in advance of your wedding date.

Reasons for ordering Save the Dates:

  • Guests live overseas so you need to give them plenty of notice to arrange travel.
  • You are getting married at a busy time of the year, such as a bank holiday weekend, school summer holidays or Christmas.

It is your choice when you send out your invitations, but as a general rule, most of our customers send them around 4-6 months prior to the wedding day.

You may wish to be organised and book your stationery order in to our diary in advance of needing them printed. This will guarantee the design, printing and production are scheduled in our diary ready for you when you want them made.

We aim to get your stationery to you as soon as possible. The timing depends on how quickly you can approve your online proofs and is dependent on our work schedule at that time.

We usually aim for a turn around with 5-7 working days. Delivery usually take 3-5 working days or quicker with an express service.

Invitation Ordering

We have a minimum order quantity of £75.00 for your first order only.

Any further orders related to your wedding will not incur the minimum order fee. If your order is just below this value, please contact us to see if we can accept your order. This will depend on our work schedule at that time.

If you order less than 20 of each item, we may need to add a £25.00 – £50.00 design fee to your order to allow for design time.

We do not have a shopping cart on our website as from years of experience, it is hard to capture all of your individual needs in a form without it getting far too complicated!

When you are ready to place an order, please complete our online order form.

If you get stuck along the way or need to add anything else to your order that you could not add on the order form, please email us the extra detail or just give us a call.
