Returns
I don't offer returns or exchanges on orders which have already been started. If you have received an order and it is not as described I would be more than happy to fix up the order for you so you are 100% happy with the end result.
Artwork
Absolutely! Every custom artwork order includes a digital proof along with two rounds of revisions before the artwork goes to print.
When you receive your proof, please review all details carefully. Your attention to detail helps ensure everything is perfect from the start, avoiding any need for reprints due to errors.
If additional revisions are required beyond the included two rounds, they will incur a fee of $25 per proof, payable before the changes are made. Should you decide to switch to a completely new design (listed on my website), a fee starting at $55 will apply.
Invitation Cards & Day Stationery Orders:
Please refer to my [Ordering Timeline](#) for detailed information.
Cards & Gifts:
Once your order is placed, please allow 1–5 full business days for me to package and post it.
It's always a good idea to order a few extras upfront if you're unsure about your final numbers.
If your order has already gone to print and you need additional items (fewer than your original order), the unit price per item may increase due to the smaller quantity. Additionally, a minimum order fee may apply.
When selecting colours for your artwork, please keep in mind that they may appear slightly different on the final printed product compared to your computer screen. Even with a calibrated monitor, several factors can affect how colours translate to print, so 100% colour accuracy cannot be guaranteed.
Additionally, there may be slight colour variations between larger items like signs or posters and smaller printed products like invitations. This is due to differences in printers and materials used for each product.

Popular wedding stationery questions
Wedding stationery typically includes save-the-dates, invitations, RSVP cards, details cards, programs, menus, place cards, table numbers, thank-you cards, and signage. The specific items depend on your wedding style and needs.
Wedding invitations should be sent 6-8 weeks before the wedding. If it's a destination wedding, aim for 3-4 months in advance to give guests plenty of time to plan.
Save-the-dates are an early notice for guests to "save the date" and are sent 6-12 months in advance. Invitations are more formal and provide details like the venue, time, and RSVP instructions.
Wedding stationery costs can vary widely based on the quantity, design, and printing method. On average, couples spend $500-$1,500 for all their stationery needs.
Wording should reflect your wedding’s tone. A formal invite might say, “The honour of your presence is requested at the marriage of...” while a casual one might read, “Join us to celebrate the wedding of...”
Order save-the-dates 8-12 months before the wedding and invitations 4-6 months before. This ensures enough time for designing, printing, and delivery.
