HOW AND WHEN TO ORDER???
We are currently getting very booked up for 2006 weddings with enquiries going into 2009, so we offer a booking system of asking for a £20 deposit if you would like to book a slot in our diary for your stationery/wedding goodies to be made in. We will then make your stationery proof to send to you, keep all your details on file. We then contact you nearer to the date that we are due to start your order. One less thing for you to worry about !! It's always a worry that we will not be able to fit all the orders in & we'd hate to have to turn people away.
** Please note this £20 is part of your payment & not an additional payment **
When? We would safely like to recommend that you send out your invitations 8-16 weeks before your Wedding Day. This gives your guests enough time to rsvp.
How long will they take to be made? Your Wedding Stationery will be ready for delivery 4-6 weeks of us confirming your final order & you returning your signed proofs to us. This does depend on our current workload. Please don't despair if you need yours sooner. Contact us & we'll see what we can do.
When to pay: A 50% deposit is required at the time of ordering(which is non refundable) and the remainder to be paid before we send your order out to you. Save the Date orders, our online shop orders & orders under £100 need to be paid when placing the order.
*You will receive a full set of proofs once we have received your deposit. If you are not happy with these you will have your deposit refunded to you in full.
*Please allow for the fact that everything is handmade, so items & colours may vary ever so slightly.
*We don't hold a 'No minimum order policy' but please make sure you allow enough when ordering and allow for mistakes when writing them out, extra guests & also keepsakes. (There is a minimum of 20 invitations when ordering bespoke stationery - see 'Bespoke Designs' for more details.
* We don’t offer extra discounts for those who place larger orders. We do try to keep our prices as low as possible and feel we are very competitive with other Wedding Stationery companies.
