Can I change the colors or fonts?
Color change is complimentary, and reccomended! We are happy to color-match for you. Please provide a virtual color swatch for us to match. Keep in mind, though, that colors vary monitor to monitor and from printer to printer. The best way to ensure that the color is to your liking is by test-printing your file.

Ideally, your wedding invitations should be mailed 6 to 8 weeks before your wedding date. To allow for our standard turn-around -time (5 business days for your first proof) and the printing process (dependent upon your print method), and addressing your envelopes, we reccomend ordering your invitations and matching accessories at least four months prior to your wedding date.
For all custom orders, we reccomend ordering your invitations 6 to 8 months before your wedding date.
When should I order my announcements or party invitations?
Your birth announcements can be ordered as soon as you're ready!
PARTY INVITATIONS
Party invitations should be mailed 4 prior to the event date.

All of our photo invitations and announcements are sent as print-ready JPEGs.
All of Wedding Stationery are sent as print-ready PDFs.
We use CMYK color method, and files do not include full-bleed.
We are happy to send the file as a password-protected PDF, include full bleed or match PMS colors, but this request must be made before the design process begins.
Therefore, it is important to choose your print-method (and learn your printers requirements) prior to making a purchase.
A $35 fee per file is assessed to change bleed or color method after the design process has begun.
We are happy to share .EPS or .AI files directly with your printer.
How do I print my invitations?
There are three basic print methods for DIY invitations
Print At Home
This print method is the most economical, but may be the most time consuming and challenging. This print method allows you to have complete control over paper selection.
You will be responsible for:
- purchasing paper
- purchasing ink
- purchasing envelopes
- cutting/trimming all paper to size, after it has been printed
- invitation assembly
While at-home printing may sound like a daunting task, it certainly has its advantages. First, you have complete control over your paper selection. I reccomend ordering paper samples before making a bulk purchase, and doing a test-print on your home printer to make sure you are happy with your paper selection & to double check that your printer is compatible with the paper you'd like to use. Secondly, you do not have a minimum-purchase requirement. That is, you can print 5 or 500 invitations for only the cost of the design, the paper, and the ink.
Local Printing, Staples, Fed Ex/Kinkos, or a local mom&pop shop
This print method is slightly more expensive, but doesn't require very much DIY effort.
You will be responsible for:
- browsing their paper selection, and choosing a paper
- sending the files to the printer to be printed
- purchasing envelopes
- cutting/trimming all paper to size, after it has been printed* [see if your printer will do this for you!!]
- invitation assembly
- learning the requirements of their print method, and passing this information along to me
While this method will certainly save you the headache of printing at home, it does have its limitations. First, you will be limited to the in-stock paper that they carry. Some, but not all, printers will allow you to bring in your own paper -- giving you slighly more control, but be sure to check that their printers are compatible with your choice of paper. Similar to printing at home, there are no minimum print requirements. Some, but not all, printers offer cutting services.
Online Printing, UPrinting, Vista Print, Zazzle, Overnight Prints, Cards and Pockets, etc
While online printers can offer a very competitive price and usually, a quick turn-around time, you will be limited to the paper choices and paper sizes that they each offer. Similar to Local Printing, each online print-shop will have their own sets of requirements. It's very imporant to learn their requirements before making a purchase, so a compatible file can be sent to you.
You will be responsible for:
- browsing their paper selection, and choosing a paper
- browsing their paper size selection, and informing me of their file requirements>br> - sending the files to the printer to be printed
- purchasing envelopes
- invitation assembly
- learning the requirements of their print method, and passing this information along to me
Most online printers have a minimum order requirement, usually in multiples of 25.
Only JPEG files can be uploaded to online print services like Shutterfly, Walgreens, Target, etc. These files will be printed like a picture, similar to the ones you print from your family vacation. This is a very economical print-method, as invitations and announcements can be made for as little as 13c each!!
