You receive an invitation and reply card with a lined envelope, ink color guides printed on both white and ecru papers, and and envelope filled with a sample of each of our liner/mat color swatches and a coupon for $15 off of your invitation order. We highly recommend you order a sample package to assist you in choosing colors and placing your order.
All of our wedding invitations are professionally printed. We offer both letterpress invitations and invitations printed on a digital press (flat-printed).
We use Neenah Brand paper from the Classic Crest and Classic Linen lines. The paper is 110 lb. smooth cardstock of the highest quality. Our cardstock available for purchase in our DIY (paper goods) area is 80#. Our 110# is too thick to run through home printers.
Our envelopes are a deep-pointed Euro-flap and are available in Classic White and Classic Ecru. Our DIY line of envelopes are available in many matte and shimmer colors.
Many of our paper colors are available as envelopes and are considered special order for an upgrade of 75 cents per set for invitation and response envelopes for your invitation order. Please let us know if you are interested in colored envelopes in the special requests area of checkout. We will be in contact to arrange this upgrade.
If you don't like the font that comes standard...just let us know, we are happy to substitute fonts for you. You can see font options by clicking here.

An envelope liner is a colored piece of paper that is inserted into and adhered with double-sided tape into the invitation envelope to dress it up a bit.
An invitation mat is a colored piece of cardstock that is adhered to your invitation leaving a 1/8" border around all four sides. It is a nice way to add a little more color to your set. You can view invitation mat choices here.
Yes, we offer guest addressing services. We will give you a spreadsheet to enter your guests addresses. The cost is $1.00 per envelope. The fonts are chosen to coordinate with your invitation and printed in black ink. We will give you a digital proof of several envelopes for your approval prior to printing.
Inner envelopes (or double envelopes) do not come standard with our sets.
It is never too early to start thinking about ordering your wedding invitations. We often work with brides 9-12 months out if they want to send a Save the Date. If you are only interested in wedding invitations, approximately 5-6 months ahead of your wedding is appropriate. Remember you will need some time to address and assemble your invitations after you receive your order. Always allow plenty of time to order and receive your invitations so you do not incur additional rush charges.
Our recommendation is to send Save the Date cards and information anywhere from 1 year to 6 months ahead of your wedding depending on the extent of the travel and arrangements required for your guests. If you are planning a destination wedding that requires travel arrangements, send your save the date cards out 1 year ahead and give your guests all of the resources necessary to make plans. Things to include in your Save the Date are hotel information, nearest airport, and area activities information.
You should carefully look over your list and consider couples and families where only one invitation is necessary in determining your wedding invitation count. This way you will not order too many invitations, however keep in mind it is always better to have a few extras than not enough. Printing a second run of wedding invitations is very expensive.
Please review our invitation wording section of the website. If you have any questions, please ask.
Absolutely! A wedding monogram is an excellent way to give your wedding a very personal touch.
