1. Take a look around.
We offer a wide array of invitations featuring many different styles and themes.

2. Order.
After you find what you're looking for, click the 'order' button to continue on to the Order page. You'll be able to specifiy your colors, typefaces and any other preferences you may have for your invitation here. You will also specify how you would like the wording of your invitation as well as any other extra information you'd like us to know about your order. Not sure about the wording? Don't fret, just give us the general information (both parents, divorced parents, widowers, given by bride and groom, etc.) and we'll create some wording samples for you.

3. Receive Correspondance.
Shortly after your order is placed you will recieve e-mail correspondance from the designer working on your invitations. He or she will answer any of your questions and help you along with the entire design process. If you were unsure of wording, it is here they will give you options based on the information you've given us.

4. Recieve E-mail Proof.
After getting all of your customization options (colors, wording, typefaces, extra elements) in order, your designer will start work on your invitations. Depending on what you need and the complexity of your order, your designer will e-mail you options of your final invitation design (this includes any collateral material as well. ie. envelopes, reply card, menu, directions, etc.). Please give our designers anywhere from 5-15 business days to design your invitations.

5. Approve Your Invitation Design.
When you recieve your e-mail proof of your invitation option(s), you let us know if you love it! Not sure if you love everything yet? Want to change your colors? Take something out? Change your typefaces? We won't stop until you are completely happy. When you love your invitations, give us your approval. In giving us your approval, make sure you check that all the spelling of the names and places are correct. We don't want any typos, because after your invitations go into production, we won't be able to make any changes.

6. Make Final Payment
Upon approval of your invitation proof, we will send you an invoice for payment. We accept certified checks, money orders and credit cards (Visa or Mastercard). If you decide to pay with a credit card, we will send you a link to a secure website where you will enter your credit card information.

7. Send Your Invites into Production.
Now that you've approved you final invitation design and we've processed your payment, we start the printing process. Please keep in mind that once you've approved your invitations and they go into production, no changes can be made. Because letterpress printing is an art form and each printing plate is carved to give a deep impression in the paper, the production process will take anywhere from 5-8 weeks. When all the printing is done, we package up your invitations and tie on a bow. You will recieve your invitations in the mail within that 5-8 week period.
